Chapter 25

LUCIEN'S POV

I slowly stepped out of her room and headed to my office. Was it such a bad thing that she was my mate?

Did she not feel even a skip in her heartbeat? A coil in her stomach when I was around her? I got into my office and slammed the door shut. I wanted to pull at my hair and scream but I was Lucien. I was Alpha and I couldn't throw a tantrum.

I chewed hard on my molars and crossed my arms across my chest. She wasn't telling me something and I knew it but how do I get her to tell me?

A knock on my door interrupted my train of thought.

“Who’s there?”

The door opened slowly and Callen’s head appeared.

“I didn't call for you.”

He walked into the office slowly. “Got your favourite wine,” He raised the bottle. “Real strong stuff.”

I shot him a deadly glare.

“You can't lock yourself in here and sulk all night.”

“I’m not sulking,” I had intended to say that with more energy but it came out quietly like I wasn’t sure.

Callen raised his brows and nodded slowly.

    CHAPTER 55TARLYNSomething was off.I sat by the mirror, brushing my hair with slow, deliberate strokes. My eyes flicked to the corners of the room. People were watching me.Whispers had grown louder these days. Smiles disappeared the moment I entered a room. Conversations stopped when I walked in. Even the guards bowed too quickly, like they wanted me to leave faster.I wasn’t stupid.They knew something.I stood, pacing.“They can’t prove anything,” I whispered to myself. “There’s no evidence.”But that stupid note… that cursed note—“We know what you did.”I clenched my jaw.I needed water.Grabbing my robe, I stepped out of my chambers. The hall was quiet, but I could feel eyes behind the walls.When I reached the bottom of the staircase, I turned sharply—only to see Callen standing by the pillar.Staring.He didn’t even pretend to look away.My lips curled. “Is there a reason you’re watching me like that?”Callen’s expression was ice. “Was I watching?”“You were.” I walked clos

    Chapter 55TARLYN'S POV Kane intersected me as I returned to the pack house. “Where are you coming from?” He looked me over. “Looking so good.”I raised a brow. “What is it?”“You look good,” He tried to grab me by the waist but I slapped his hand off and looked around to make sure no one had seen off. “What’s the problem? We have a reason to celebrate. Why are you acting up?”“What are you celebrating?” “I heard the council gave Lucien two moons to find a Luna or step down. The time has come…” He suddenly stopped talking when he noticed I didn't share in his excitement. “Wait a minute. You bastard.” “Keep your voice down.” “You are trying to find your way back with Lucien aren't you? You are not over that man and your taste for power has blinded you.” I exhaled. “Don’t speak to me like that. I didn't promise you the throne, Kane.”He laughed dryly. “You can't play a fast one on me, Tarlyn. If you try getting out of this, I would drag you down. Every lie. Every theft. Eve

    CHAPTER 54 Tarlyn All I could feel was the glee that consumed me from the inside out. Of course, I didn't like that Lucien was caught in the crossfire with the elders but at the end of the day. There were prices that had to be paid for me to keep having an upper hand and sentiments were definitely not one of them. I headed towards the estate garden. My legs were feeling cranky and the idea of a stroll wasn't a bad idea. As I walked down the expanse of the quiet hallway, I ordered one of the maids that I came across to get me some tea. The morning was never really complete without my tea. I watched her scurry away quickly to pay heed to my order before I continued my walk through the expanse of the hallway. The pine scented breeze hitting my face was one of the most serene feelings ever. My eyes fluttered closed for a brief second. Today felt like it was going to be a good day. Obviously, I was still yet to achieve the results of my plans and my schemes but they were slowly beg

    CHAPTER 53ISLA'S POV These last days with Sayora have been intense. Once she returned from Blackridge with an ointment that helped me regain my speech, she said we needed to start healing immediately as we barely had time. I wondered what the rush was about but she wouldn't tell me. She only repeated that we were in a time crunch. My mind wanted to be free from the memory of Kyle and his antics but my body was overwhelmed. The healing sessions wore me out. Sayora barely gave me time to recover. “Get up.”I didn’t answer. My mouth was dry. My arms were weak. Everything inside me ached.“I said get up, Isla.”“I can’t,” I whispered, staring at the ceiling. “I… I don’t feel my legs.”“That’s because you’ve chosen to stay where you are. But you can get up. So get up.”I turned my head slightly. She stood by the doorway with her arms folded, black cloak tight around her thin frame. Her face, as always, gave nothing away.“I don’t want to go back there.”“You think I care what you want?

    Chapter 52LUCIEN'S POV The air was suffocating and too still. It has been five nights since I last spoke to Callen. He stopped coming to the office on the second day and I couldn't deny that I missed him. That I needed someone to talk to but I don't know if I could trust him. What if he leaked vital information again? I was at a crossroad and the heaviness in my chest weighed me down. I grabbed a bottle from my shelf. It was the last one. I made a mental note to get it restocked. That was Callen's job. He knew my favourites and introduced me to more. How was I to survive without him? I poured the whiskey into my glass and took it in one gulp. It burned my chest and I winced. I picked up a cigarette and lit it. I stood by my window watching the village as I blew out the smoke. I put the cigarette out on the window sill and inhaled shakily. The smell of steel and sweat hung heavy in the training grounds. The men stilled as I walked in. I walked past them without saying a word

    LUCIEN My subconscious was eating me alive. It was screaming at me to compose myself, to get a grip on my anger. Unfortunately my anger was relentless and at the end of the day, my composure was in shatters and there was literally nothing that I could say. The only thing that I could do, was to continue to swing my fists into Callen's face. Maybe I was being ridiculous to think that Callen would betray me in any way. I know I said my delusion was the only safe space at the moment but what if it was eating me alive. What if it was slowly transforming into paranoia without me knowing it? What if my gut was wrong and it was too late for Callen to forgive me. My rage mixed up with logical reasoning was a messy situation. I could barely register the hands that were pulling me away from Callen's body. The mention of Isla's name in a bad light was enough to throw me into a blind fit of rage regardless of the consequences. Get it together. But it was difficult. Rage darkened every bit of
