The damage done in one generation is often the cause of the struggles in the next.

— Steven Aitchison.

LUCIEN

I tasted blood and shame in the same bite.

I coughed, a harsh sound that left blood staining my lips.

My ribs screamed, my chest felt like it was on fire, and bruises were already painting themselves across my skin.

“You let men be killed while you were busy burying your cock in human pussy” my father growled, each word like a knife pressing into me.

“You let them question the pack and leadership!” his fists slammed into my ribs.

“I should have made you mate with Selene instead of just swearing in” he spat.

Another fist slammed into my shoulder, sending stars blooming across my vision.

“You let a mere human girl embarrass the pack.“

I wanted to roar back but my body refused. All I could do was feel the weight of his fists, and think of Camellia.

She didn’t deserve this.

“I love her… and I don’t regret a single thing.” My words were barely audible. It hurt to speak.

    The broken heart. You think you will die, but you keep living, day after day after terrible day.— Charles Dickens.CAMELLIA They said time heals, but Darius’ pack was just a bandage over the gaping hole in my chest.“And then you do it like this,” Nymariah, the she-wolf I’d come to call a friend, showed me how to knead the dough, her hands steady and calm.I followed her instructions, pressing into the dough with more force than needed, imagining Lucien’s smug face flattening under each push, every movement a quiet curse I couldn’t speak aloud.It turns out the mark burning on my neck wasn’t really nothing.It was because he was with another woman.We were bound now through a mark I never asked for, and that’s the first thing he did?I asked several werewolves, hoping Darius was wrong—but you can’t exactly rewrite werewolf history overnight.Lucien was with another woman."Good job," she clapped her hands together excitedly as I kneaded the dough.Darius walked into the kitchen

    Sexiness is a state of mind, and that’s what really turns people on.—Dita Von Teese.LILY Maybe I was every bit of a whore, like Bobby said.I didn't give a fuck, not In the slightest.“You like that, huh?” I murmured, letting my fingers linger just enough to feel his cock harden my touch.Rowan's lips parted, a rough little moan escaping him, and I leaned closer, letting my breath brush over his ear.“Doesn’t take much, does it?” I whispered, rubbing faster along his hardening cock, feeling him twitch beneath my touch.“Fuck… please… keep doing that,” he groaned, his hips thrusting into my hand, desperate for more.I smirked, soaking in the sight of a 6 '2 man, pleading and hard for me. You could bet your ass it fed my ego like nothing else.I leaned closer, letting my hand roam with more boldness, thumb brushing over the sensitive tip as I circled him slowly.“Fuck… oh gods…” he moaned, jerking against my hand, each sound making my smirk widen.“Mm… you like that, don’t you?” I t

    The only thing that I have learned is to be careful with my choices, for they may make me a monster.— C. S. LewisTrigger warning: This chapter contains sensitive content which may be disturbing for some readers.LUCIEN The last time I drank was when my father ripped my uncle apart in front of the whole pack. He shoved me to my knees in the blood and told me to remember how weakness smells.The last time I cried was when my men were slaughtered in the war—cut down one by one because of my own failed leadership.Tonight, I found myself doing both.My body felt unbearably heavy, my eyes sore, as I clutched the bottle of human alcohol laced with enough wolfsbane to bring ten warriors to their knees.I didn’t want to feel anything. Not tonight, anyway.Her panicked eyes burned into me.I’m a monster.I’m a monster.I’m a coward.My wolf that made me lose control two nights ago was nowhere to be found now, leaving only me to face what I’d done.“Lucien, are you okay?” I heard Camellia

    The wound is the place where the Light enters you.— Rumi.CAMELLIA Everything hurts.My chest, my skin, even my swollen finger that still throbbed since I slapped Lucien’s face. But all of it was nothing beside the mark searing into my neck.Darius shielded me as the car tumbled, the sound of metal screaming and glass shattering drowning out everything else.When the rolling finally stopped, I was unharmed, but blood from Darius dripped from above me.“Are you okay?” he asked, though his voice was strained.With inhuman strength, he hit the hood of the car until the metal bent and gave way, leaving just enough of an opening.Darius crawled out through the wreckage like the glass buried in his skin and the blood running down his face didn’t exist then stretched out a hand toward me.He lifted me the moment my hand touched his, setting me down gently on the road.“What the hell just happened?” he muttered, looking unfazed, while I was one second away from peeing my pants.He moved ba

    The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.—Dante Alighieri.DARIUS I hated how excited I was that camellia called me to come get her away from Lucien.I held the coffee cups closer as I headed to her room.Why do humans even drink this crap?The drive to my pack was five hours, and it was already getting late. She deserved some rest after everything that had happened.Still, I couldn’t stop grinning. Smacking Lucien's face and flipping the podium? That was pure badass.An all-too-familiar scent hit my nose, followed by a thud from upstairs.What the hell was Lucien doing here?I picked up my pace, storming up the stairs, and yanked the door to her hotel room open, the handle falling to the floor from the force I used.Lucien had his claws out, his eyes glowing bright red, as he backed Camellia into the corner.But that wasn’t what made me freeze.On her neck was a bright red mark, raw and angry.Fucking bastard. He mark
