Mated To The Scarred Alpha Chapter 56
LUCIANI follow her into the room, but the silence between us is heavy enough to pin me to my chair without warning. She sits on the far side of the room, curled up on the couch with the book which I'm certain she hasn’t turned a page in for the last hour. The soft golden light spilling from the lamp makes her skin glow, but her eyes are fixed anywhere but on me.I try taking to her again, “You haven’t eaten.”“I’m fine,” she replies. Her voice is polite, and clipped. The kind of politeness that feels like you slammed a door on your toes.“Leah…”“I’m tired, Lucian.” She doesn’t even look at me when she says it.I lean back in my chair, running a hand over my jaw. There’s an ache in my chest that I can't seem to get rid of. An alarm bell goes off in my head, warning me that if I push again, I’ll only make it worse. But then, letting the silence consume me feels worse.I’m about to risk it anyway when there’s a knock at the door, the sound cutting through the room like a blade. Leah ri
Mated To The Scarred Alpha Chapter 55
LUCIANIt's been four days since I dropped the bombshell, and Leah still won't look me in the eye. It's like we've become strangers, and it's killing me. Fenrir has also locked me out, blaming me for the way things turned out. Theron arrives just before noon of the fifth day, his boots thudding against the marble floor of the council’s reception hall. He looks exactly the same as when I last saw him, tall, broad, sharp-eyed.Leah stands beside me, her hands clasped in front of her. She’s dressed neatly, hair pinned back, but the warmth she offers Theron doesn’t extend to me.“Theron,” she says with a small, genuine smile. “It’s good to see you again.”He smiles back and hugs her briefly. “Likewise, Luna.” His eyes flick between us, reading the air faster than I’d like. I keep my face blank, the way I do in negotiations where every word could be twisted.We lead him to the suite we’ve been given on the upper floor. Leah walks slightly ahead of me, making polite conversation with Thero

LUCIAN“Leah,” I call out softly as I step back into the room, looking between her and her mother, Queen Reyna. She turns away from me almost immediately, her eyes heavy with tears. And in that moment I knew, I broke her.“I didn't tell you to come back yet.” Queen Reyna snaps. “Please, I need to be here,” I reply, my eyes trained of Leah.Fuck! I broke the one person that matters to me. The council can't be blamed for not wanting me back, everything I touch, I destroy. I broke my mate, and she can't bear to look at me anymore. It's like I am the thing she needs to run from.She looks back at me and I open my mouth to call her again, but before I do, she runs for the door. “I need some air,” she says, her voice cracking. At first, I'm unable to move, my chest caving in, and my feet refusing to move. But then she walks towards the door, pain and hurt filling her every stride, I run to her and grab her hand. “Leah, please” I breathe, broken.“No!” She yells. “Leave me alone!” Her secon

LEAH“Alpha Lucian.” Queen Reyna’s voice is soft, but steel glints underneath. “Leave us.”He laughs under his breath, not the funny kind. The I’m-going-to-burn-this-place-down kind. “Not happening,” he snaps. After keeping a secret as huge as this from me, he’s still acting like he cares. He must think I still believe his facade, bullshit.“I wasn’t asking.” Queen Reyna snaps back.“Too bad.” His jaw ticks like he’s holding back his lycan right there. And they’re just… staring at each other now. Throwing invisible daggers over my head like I’m not standing right here trying to remember how to breathe.“No.” My voice comes out small at first, then stronger. “She’s right.” Lucian’s head snaps to me, those gold eyes lock on like I just stabbed him. “Leah…”“I don’t want to see you right now.” My throat feels like glass, but I don’t take it back. “So just… go.”For a second, he doesn’t move. Just stands there breathing like he’s swallowing fire. Then his throat works, and he gives a tigh
Mated To The Scarred Alpha CHAPTER 52
LEAH“You’re not who you think you are.”“This again?” I mutter. I notice that his voice is too calm. It’s not soft, or tender like it was before he went to see Queen Reyna. This time, it sounds… controlled. Like he’s holding something back.“What is it?” I ask again, slower this time.He stares at me for a beat too long, like maybe if he just looks hard enough, I’ll already know. But then, I don’t, and it’s starting to make my stomach feel weird. His jaw shifts. His eyes are troubled, like there’s a whole storm going on in his head. He opens his mouth to talk, but then, he doesn’t. He just… shuts down.I stare at him blankly. What’s wrong with him? “Not here,” he says finally. “We should talk in Queen Reyna’s presence.”That’s not the answer I expected. “Why?”“Because it involves her,” he says, already standing, and turning towards the door like that’s the end of it, but it’s not. Not for me. “Lucian.”He stops, half-turns. The air between us feels heavy.“I need you to trust me,”
Mated To The Scarred Alpha Chapter 51
LUCIANThe smell hits me first. It’s not just death or rot, it’s… wrong, sour magic clinging to fur. My eyes fly to Leah nad she’s pressed against the wall, her eyes wide, and hands shaking even though she’s trying to hide it. I’m across the room in three strides, pulling her into my chest.“Hey… hey, it’s okay.” My voice is low, steady, even though my pulse is punching through my ribs. “I’ve got you. You’re fine.”“I’m not…” She swallows hard, and her breath stutters. “It was just there, Lucian. I woke up and…”“I know. I know.” I tilt her chin up so she’s looking at me, not the thing on the floor. “I’m here now. You’re safe.”Her eyes search mine like she’s looking for cracks, and I let her see all of it. The fear, rage, and the promise that I’ll burn the world before I let this happen again. I press my lips to her temple. “Nothing’s touching you. Not while I’m breathing.”She nods, small, still shaking. Sasha’s by the door, her face hard as stone, but her grip on the dagger’s too t
