POV: Lucian

The quarters Ronan escorts Lucian to are comfortable enough on the surface but feel like a cage regardless of the soft furnishings and warm fireplace. Guards take up positions outside the door with orders to prevent exit rather than protect from intrusion, making the imprisonment status absolutely clear.

Lucian paces the confined space with growing agitation that the incomplete form can't quite suppress. The mate bond pulls constantly toward wherever Lior is being held, creating a p

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   The Blood Throne

    POV: LucianTwo days hiding in the catacombs pass in tense vigilance punctuated by Lior making brief excursions to gather information about what's happening in the fortress above. The vampire returns from each trip with updates about structural repairs and casualty counts and the king's growing obsession with the hybrid who destroyed a third of his stronghold."Severan knows you're still in the fortress," Lior reports on the third morning, settling against the catacomb wall with exhaustion that suggests the vampire hasn't been sleeping properly. "The guards found evidence of our passage through the tunnels during the collapse. He's ordered a full search of every level.""How long before they find these catacombs?" Lucian asks, already knowing the answer won't be encouraging."Hours maybe. Days if we're lucky," Lior answers. "The catacombs are extensive enough that systematic searching takes time, but they will eventually reach this section.""So we need to leave before that happens,"

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha    Shadows of Thornhaven

    POV: LucianConsciousness returns in fragments that don't assemble into coherent awareness for what feels like hours but might only be minutes. The first sensation is warmth, which is unexpected given that the last clear memory involves collapsing fortress and freezing stone crushing from all directions.The second sensation is the mate bond humming steadily in the background, suggesting Lior is nearby and alive despite having taken the full impact of falling debris to shield Lucian from the same fate.Opening gold eyes reveals darkness so complete that even enhanced vision struggles to penetrate it. But gradually shapes emerge from the black: rough stone walls, a low ceiling carved with ancient symbols, the faint glow of something that might be phosphorescent moss providing minimal illumination.Lucian tries to sit up and discovers immediately that movement comes far easier than it should after being imprisoned and tortured for days. The wounds that covered the incomplete form are he

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   The Rescue at Dawn

    POV: ArayaDawn breaks over Thornhaven Fortress with the sky painted in shades of crimson and gold that mirror the blood and fire about to be spilled. Araya stands at the head of an army unlike any Drevalon has fielded in generations: three hundred Direwolves, five hundred lesser pack warriors, and every Alpha who could be mustered on three days' notice.Beside her, Ronan's massive form radiates barely controlled fury that's been building since the moment Lucian's heartbeat vanished from pack bonds. The ancient Direwolf has spent the past days planning this assault with the single-minded focus of someone who will tear through anything between him and his captured son."The blood-magic barriers extend fifty feet from the fortress walls," Lyra reports, having scouted the defenses during the night. "Beyond that range, our pack bonds should reconnect with Lucian if he's still alive inside.""He's alive," Araya states with absolute conviction, because the alternative is unthinkable. "Thorn

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   Chains of Blood

    POV: LucianConsciousness returns gradually, bringing awareness of cold stone beneath Lucian's back and the weight of chains wrapped around every limb. The blood-magic bindings burn with constant low-grade pain that prevents proper focus, and the incomplete form's healing factor struggles against whatever enchantments keep the wounds from closing.Opening gold eyes reveals a cell carved from dark stone, lit by torches that burn with crimson flame rather than natural fire. The walls are covered in carved symbols that pulse with the same blood-magic as the chains, apparently designed to reinforce the prison's ability to hold even supernatural strength.Lucian tries to sit up and immediately discovers that the chains don't just restrain movement. They're anchored directly into the stone floor through blood-magic that makes pulling against them feel like tearing flesh from bones. The incomplete form gasps with pain and stops struggling, understanding that escape through brute force won't

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   The Assault on Thorn Pass

    POV: LucianTwo days after the Moonstone trial, Ronan calls for offensive action rather than continuing to react defensively to vampire raids. The plan is straightforward in its aggressive simplicity: strike at Thorn Pass where vampire forces maintain a forward position, eliminate or scatter the garrison there, and force Thornhaven to reconsider whether continued war serves their interests.Lucian volunteers to join the assault despite Araya's objections, needing to do something active rather than sitting in the den waiting for the next crisis to arrive. The Moonstone's revelation about carrying both moons hasn't changed the immediate tactical situation, and passive defense won't end the conflict that's been building for weeks."You're too valuable to risk in direct combat," Araya argues during the pre-assault briefing in the war room. "If Thornhaven captures you, everything we've worked for collapses.""And if I hide in the den while our warriors die fighting vampires, I prove every

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   The Trial of Truth

    POV: LucianThe moment Lucian's senses register Lior's proximity, Ronan is already moving toward the war room door with clear intent to mobilize defensive forces. But Araya raises a hand that stops the massive Direwolf in his tracks, her expression showing someone who has just made a decision that won't be popular."No," Araya says firmly. "We're not responding to this with violence until we understand what's actually happening.""The vampire infiltrated our territory again," Ronan argues. "What more understanding do we need before responding appropriately?""We need to understand what the mate bond has actually done to Lucian," Araya responds, looking at her son with an expression that mixes concern and determination. "Whether the vampire venom from the claiming bite has corrupted his nature beyond recovery, or whether this is something else entirely.""I'm standing right here," Lucian points out, bristling at being discussed like an object rather than a person. "And I can tell you t
