LUCIAN

The car slowly rocked past stony paths before finally pulling on to a clear road. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed Zayn turn his head in my direction.

“You could have just said we’d be going to see her,” Zayn sounded a bit annoyed.

“I wanted it to be a surprise,” I shrugged, trying to fight back the urge to smile.

The prospect of seeing my girl seemed to calm down all the nerves that were fighting deep within me.

She was the one thing that seemed to tether me down when it felt like I was spiraling. Today, I wasn’t going there for any special reason whatsoever. I just really wanted to see her.

“Sure you did. Reese is going to have my head today,” Zayn sighed.

I took a quick glance at the man and noticed his attention was on his phone. He was probably talking to his mate. There was no doubt about that.

Not like that was something that bothered me. Deep down, I knew it was something I could never have. I didn’t want one, never have and never will.

“What did you do?” I asked.

  • Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me   Chapter 81 Avoidance

    LUCIANI kissed her.Why did I kiss her?Blaming alcohol at that point would be pointless because alcohol didn’t nudge me towards her lips. It didn’t egg me on to do the one thing that I’d sworn I’d never do. Be anything intimate with her.Shit. Shit.The way her heart seemed to drop at my words was even more weird. We’d marked each other, which meant I was more aware of whatever emotional turbulence she was going through. I’d done a good job of ignoring it and pushing it down for the better part of our deal.So why did it all come crashing down two nights ago? Fuck. I screwed up. Big time. All the fault was on me. I shouldn’t have let myself get that close to her. Or even let her get that close to me in the first place.“Hello?”Zayn snapped his fingers twice, staring at me with confusion and what seemed like worry. “Earth to Lucian. Thought I lost you there for a second.”I cleared my throat. “Well, you didn’t. Get to the damn point.”“Were you even listening to what I said?” He loo

  • Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me   Chapter 80 The Galaxy is Endless

    VIOLETMy heart was racing with each step further I took. Lucian was a little bit up ahead but his grip on my hand never wavered even once“Careful.” He said when I almost tripped on my gown.I waited some seconds to steady myself before sending him a nod. With that, we continued up the stairs. Lucian turned a corner, moving away from the long hallway. As soon as the cold air hit my face, I realized what he had in mind.He let out a breath when we eventually got on the grassy floor. I turned to him, trying hard to hide my amusement.“This is your idea of a getaway?” I snorted.“Well, I mean it helps,” He shrugged, a small smile playing at his lips. “If it helps there’s some good drinks in that cooler over there.”I raised my head back. “Cooler? No way.”He chuckled. “Come on.”I let him lead me to the far right of the balcony. Of course, hidden behind a bunch of potted plants was a small red cooler. Lucian gently opened it, slowly pulled out what looked like a bottle of wine.“More dr

    VIOLETThe party was slowly delving well into the night. Me? I couldn’t tell what glass I was nursing. Third? Fourth. It didn’t matter. I hadn’t felt this calm in…forever.Reese, on the other hand, was having a blast. She must have downed about six glasses of wine already. Each blink of her eye was slower than the eye and I could swear she was more than tipsy at that point.“You really need to hold your alcohol, babe.” Zayn shook his head, a fond smile on his lips.She huffed, pouting her lips. “Oh, come on. You love me like that.”“Do I?” He pretended to think on it for a while. “Yes. Yes I do.”Her smile became cheeky this time. I shook my head and turned to Lucian. Immediately, he turned to the drink in his hand.“I’d have sworn you were a lightweight when it came to drinks.” He took a sip of his drink.“You underestimate me, Alpha.” I chuckled, taking one full swig of my drink and draining the whole glass.He watched as I put the glass back on the table, trailing my every move unt

  • Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me   Chapter 78 A Gentleman and more

    VIOLETSince when did Lucian become a gentleman? So…soft. Or was I tweaking? It wouldn’t be far off to assume this was some fever dream.And yet when he’d kissed the back of my hand, I’d felt something jolt through my body. It could just be my nerves. I had a tendency to read too hard into things after all.“May I have the honor of your first dance, Violet?”I let the question linger in the air a little. It was very easy to say yes. But where was the fun in that?“Since when did you become so gentlemanly?”“I’ve always been a gentleman.” He replied.I scoffed. “Give me a break.”“I know you find joy in disputing everything I say and turning it into some sort of banter, Violet.” He sounded more amused than frustrated. “But I’d like to know your answer. May I?”Some seconds passed before I nodded. “You may.”That was all he needed. Wordlessly, he led me to the center of the dance floor. One of his hands moved to my waist while the other weaved through my fingers, holding tightly to my h

  • Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me   Chapter 75 A Party?

    LUCIANMy days had become increasingly choked up, more than I was actually pleased with. But it was something I knew I had to do. So far so good, I still had those reports Zayn had given me about Violet’s scars.Something told me it ran deeper than that. I would have to do my best in finding out what it was by all means necessary. Why did I care so much? I wasn’t so sure. It was like an itch that needed scratching, something I just felt the need to handle.“So tomorrow then?” Zayn yawned.I nodded, waving him goodbye as I made my way up towards my room. Sure enough, Violet was already on the bed. Her gaze was focused on the ceiling. She didn’t even look my way, not budging as I slammed the door shut.I bit back the words that were itching to leave my throat. As soon as I was done freshening up, I made my way back to the bed and took my spot there. Still, she didn’t move. What was she thinking about?Was it the events of the day?“Violet.”Slowly, she turned towards me. I could barely

    TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter deals with sensitive topics, including mental health struggles, suicidal ideation and emotional crisisVIOLET“Do you understand how many we’d need?”“What?” I raised my head to look at Reese.She frowned, eyes raking all over me suspiciously. “You’ve been zoning out more often these days. What exactly is going through your mind?”“Have I?” I shook my head. “I don’t know. I’m sorry about that.”She sighed, pushing the ledger off her thighs and leaning down onto me. “Wanna talk about it?”I shook my head again, forcing a smile. “I’m okay. I think.”For a second, it seemed like she was going to protest. Surprisingly, she simply sighed again. “Alright, alright. I hear you.”I brightened my smile some more. We’d been going over how much female care products would be brought into the pack since morning and had just about finished rounding it up. That is, until I started zoning out.There was a lot more on my mind than I could talk about. There was still the un
