Lucien

I have been stuck in this non ending meeting for a long time now and the only thing I wanted was to leave. 

Everybody was yelling at the top of their voice and I had no idea what exactly was making them this tense. 

Each person seated here wanted to oppress the other with their power and all this was part of what wore me down since the discussions began. 

“Lucien, what do you have to say concerning this?” One of the Alphas seated there, asked. 

“Nothing,” I responded quickly, turning my face from him. I left him puzzled because I was already tired. 

No one should come to me for any answer. I wish that could work because the voices around me were so loud and filled with so much desperation, yet nothing concrete seemed to come from them. 

The endless arguments, plans, and counter

    LucienI was this close to catching the rogues, red handed.While I moved into the forest, the cold wind that blew sent chills down my body.The night was very cold but it was something I could handle really well.The forest was unusually quiet and I began to wonder if I actually made the right decision coming here.What if the rogues had not gone into this direction? What if they parked their truck there to make a fool out of me?“No, no. They can't do that . They can't be that smart,” I assured myself.I stood behind a tree with the branches covering me. I stayed low and crouched behind the tree.My senses heightened as I waited for the rogues to make their move. I needed to be able to find them and spot them first before they could find me.Any little noise I h

    IreneI woke up with a dream about Lucien and guess the most shocking thing? I was kissing him and I was begging him to fuck me.When I regained myself, I gave myself some hot slap for dreaming about such a thing.“Get a life, Irene! Fucking get a life. What is wrong with you? Remember you have to get out of here and now you are thinking of not just kissing Lucien but fucking him?!” I yelled at myself as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.This should be the last time such a thing will happen. I packed my sleek hair into a perfect bun as I prepared myself for the day.I had a lot to do today and I could not go to the training ground looking like a mess.My face glowed beautifully as usual.When I got to the training ground, I discovered it was rather empty.Ho

    LucienThe last thing I was expecting was a disgrace thrown to my face by these two women who I kept in my house. “I'm talking to you woman! What was that mess I saw earlier when I came in?” I asked Irene who was taken aback by my sudden outburst. I bet she didn't see this coming but as the kind of person I am, I love to iron things out. “Why are you blowing this hot now? I thought you had already gone past this?” she asked, crossing her legs. “I don't think you know me quite well, Irene. Do you think I will let it slide after you disgraced me? Ohhh. You think I did because I told you to freshen up?” I asked and she could not answer me for a while. My chest heaved as I began pacing back and forth in the study as I tried to stop my raging emotions fighting hard inside me. How could they? How could the two of them disgrace me this way. Fighting like wild cats in my own Pack house?I paused and looked up to see Eve still standing there with her arms crossed, looking so unbothered.

    IreneThe loud noise shaking the walls was from outside and I quickly ran to the window to check what was happening. “Why is everyone running around like their lives depend on it?" I muttered under my breath.Everywhere I looked, people were so tense and worried. They moved in a hurry with different warriors storming in and out, maids carrying their supplies. I quickly ran out of my room to find out what was happening. When I got out, I stood at the edge of the staircase, gripping the railing as a sense of unease crept over me.“What’s going on?” I asked one of the maids who brushed past me after greeting me. “Two pups were kidnapped,” she muttered hastily and her face was pale.My heart dropped. Pups were kidnapped? From this very pack? This has to be a type of joke or something. “Kidnapped? What do you mean by that?”“I don’t know the details,” she said, her voice trembling. “They are saying rogues might be involved. Please, I have to go.”She pulled away, disappearing into the

    Lucien“Ouch!” I screamed out in pain like I was a young boy. But sincerely speaking, having water touch your wounds was one of the worst things ever.It didn't matter if you are the strongest Man in the world or not.“Pheww!” I let out a hot air from my mouth as the scalding water beat down on my back, stinging the half-healed wounds and washing away the remnants of blood and dirt.I let the pain sizzle through me and I dug my teeth into my lower lip as I tried so hard to beat the pain.It was not easy but I needed it. This was something keeping me from drowning in the mess that my own thoughts had created.As I stood under the shower with my eyes shut, all I could see were her eyes.Her beautiful sexy eyes that would not leave me. It was quite a mystery how those eyes of hers s

    IreneI let out a sigh of relief when I got out of the room where Lucian was, pretending that I wanted to get water.Well, I actually got the water.As I opened the door, I saw Lucian groaning in pain again and I dropped the tray of water on the floor in such a hurry that the glass broke into pieces.I ran towards him, holding his face in my hand.“What's happening, Lucian? What exactly is happening? I thought you were fine before I left,” I cried out, panicking.But he refused to speak to me. I realized that I had messed up badly. But, was I to be blamed for everything that happened?“Lucian, please! Say something! Should I call the pack doctor? Please, talk to me. You are making me scared,” I cried even more and held him in my little arm.“You can’t jus

    Irene“I’m a monster. A very terrible monster that deserves to rot in hell!”The words fell from my lips as I squeezed my eyes tight immediately I stumbled out of the house into the dark and cold night.I deserved anything the moon goddess wants for me. I deserve all the curses because I was a wicked being.The air around me felt suffocating as though my heavy guilt had filled the atmosphere, haunting me wherever I went.I didn’t stop running until I reached the back of the house, where the trees stood tall. No one was here with me, only the trees in the forest which served as witnesses to the shame I had brought upon myself.While I was running, my knees suddenly gave out, and I collapsed onto the cold, damp ground with tears streaming down my cheeks, making my vision blur.I was a mess and

    IreneI wanted to get perfect answers to most questions I had in mind.For some minutes, I battled within myself. I wanted to go back to that window and check Lucien and Radcliffe.I was intrigued by what he could be saying. But doing all of these was going to waste too much time.I needed to help my brother. Without thinking twice, I readjusted my dress and headed back out of the door.***"You are not supposed to be here," I muttered to myself and my voice trembled as I stood outside Lucien's office door.I was here because of one thing, to search through his things for some documents that might have answers to my question.As I stood in front of his office door, my feet refused to move and my fingers tightening on the cold metal handle of the door.The door was slightly ajar and a

    Irene pov A month later, peace had finally returned to the pack and I could finally breathe. The air shifted and changed into something better and less contaminated. During that same time, I had been working really hard to gain the trust of the pack. "You know they're calling you 'The Gentle Luna' now, right?" Camila said, grinning as she handed me a mug of tea. I blinked and paused for a while. "Wait, what? Seriously?" I asked and She nodded at me. Her eyes were full of excitement. "It's spreading. The news is spreading outside the pack house. Even the traders in the market were saying how kind you were to the orphanage. Someone even mentioned you helped a little girl fix her broken doll. I'm so proud of you, sweetbreads,” she revealed and I chuckled, feeling warmth rise in my chest. "I didn't think people noticed that. This has to be very lovely news!” "Well, they did. And they are talking about it and they are doing that In a good way." That morning sunlight came i

    Lucien “It is done, Alpha.” The guards assured me about Malcolm's additional punishment already carried out. I felt at peace at last. The traitors had been punished, and the pack would begin to heal. Though Kael was still out there, I knew he was no match for me, especially since his actions had been so wildly spread. If he were to ever be seen, he would not escape my wrath.The pack members would see that he was duly executed. Left to him, I would have killed him. He touched Irene and that alone should have made me behead him myself. Irene joined me in our room after talking to Silas. I was content that they were bonding well. She came to meet me on the bed, her warmth a gentle reminder of why I shouldn't bother about anything. She was cool, she was ice and she was fire. As we rested, Irene asked. “Lucien, why did you spare the council member's lives? I mean, you had every right to kill them, but you didn't. That's the punishment for traitors, death.”I looked at her, my eyes sea

    Lucien“Long live the Alpha, long live the Alpha.”The crowd cheered loudly, content about the verdict I gave each of the traitors. It was the hardest for me to do. Tos sentence all seven of the council of Elders, but I was sure that was the right thing to do.“It's time for Malcolm Stark's verdict!” One of the guards announced. The ground fell silent as the elders were led away, their fate sealed. I nodded to the guards, my voice firm. "Bring Malcolm in."The guards returned with Malcolm, his eyes gleaming with desperation and anger. He wasn't remorseful. He didn't even reflect on what he had done. To him, he was right and everyone was wrong. He stood tall, his shoulders squared, but I saw the faintest tremble in his lips. As he faced me, his gaze darted around the room, searching for an ally or an escape.“If you're looking for where to run to, I assure you that you wouldn't move two feet without getting stabbed in your neck, so, relax and be good.” I said. The guards chained him

    LucienPeris would receive his judgement today. And then the council of Elders too. I didn't want to judge them altogether. I was going to hear each and everyone's side of the story. To me, that was fair and just. I was dressed and ready for the day when Irene came to stand by my side. "It's time for Peris's judgment," I said, my voice firm.She placed a hand on my arm, her eyes searching mine. "I wish you luck, my love,” she took a pause and went on. “Peris is not a man of many words, Lucien. He is timid and loyal, in his own way. Perhaps you should allow him to speak for himself. He might not even understand half of the plan.”I nodded, considering her words. When Silas and I had been listening to the conversation they had in Kael's house, Peris seemed like the last person to understand the plan. He wasn't much of a contributor, just a sleeping accomplice. "Very well," I said. "I'll hear him out. But, why am I feeling like you want me to spare him?”She laughed. “No, silly. I know

    Irene's POVI closed the door softly behind Lucien, his kiss still lingered on my lips. He said he wanted to meet with some pack members, to reassure them after the chaos of the arrest.He seemed relieved at least. That was all that mattered to me. Apart from the butterflies tingling at the pit of my belly, I was fine. It was late now and all I wanted was Lucien's presence with me. To hold me, kiss me, and feel me. I couldn't ever get enough of him. He was my strength and my weakness.A knock broke through my thoughts and I answered.“Come in,” I said, rising to my feet, heart thudding for a reason I didn't know.The door creaked open, and Silas stepped inside. He stood, his eyes somber, rimmed with guilt and sadness. He looked pale. I hadn't forgotten that he had been stabbed, his arm had been bandaged.“Silas, are you okay? You look so pale.” I said, already moving closer to him. “Did you eat at all?”“Irene,” he said, his voice low. “Can I talk to you?I nodded slowly and motione

    Lucien's POV“Take them to the dungeon, make sure their screams don't disturb the peace of the house.” I ordered, my words heavy and final.The guards began to pull Malcolm, Peris, and the Elders forward, their hands were bound and their heads were lowered for the first time in years. The crowd parted for them, watchful. If not for the guards, I'm sure the pack wouldn't hesitate to kill them with their claws.Malcolm was the first to open his mouth. He was never the type to accept defeat when it came.“This is madness, Lucien!” he barked, fighting against the guards as they shoved him forward. “You’re letting emotion cloud your judgment. This is not the way of the council! You can't just discard us like that, this is barbaric!”I stepped forward, my gaze not leaving him. “You taught me the ways of this council. You knew everything, didn't you? But you still failed to live by your teachings. It's over, Malcolm.”His eyes narrowed, but before he could speak again, the eldest member of

    Irene's POVI tried to sleep. The warmth of the blanket should have comforted me, but my instincts prickled beneath my skin. I was too restless. The bond between Lucien and I hummed with something heavy.Then I heard it—his voice, cold and full of command.“BOW DOWN!”“Lucien?” I echoed, and sat up instantly. My breath was caught in my throat. That wasn't a command whispered in private. That was Lucien's Alpha voice; the kind he'd used on Silas the first time we met. He told me to stay inside, but that was the last thing to do. I threw the blankets off and dressed quickly, tugging a robe over my body. I left the room and ran down the hall. I met a few guards posted around.“What's going on?” I asked breathlessly.The guards looked at themselves before one of them answered. “Alpha Lucien is exposing the traitors. The Council of Elders are being arrested.”“What?” I was shocked. Lucien hadn't said anything like that this morning. Why had he asked me not to come out? I didn't wait for

    Lucien's POVThe morning sun barely broke out before I had my bath, got dressed, and crawled back into bed with Irene. She smelt nice after the thorough bath we had during midnight.“I need to meet the council,” I said, tightening the last button of my shirt as Irene stirred beneath the sheets.She opened her eyes slowly, still drowsy from the night we spent locked in each other's arms. “Good morning. What did you say?”I leaned down and kissed her gently, brushing her hair from her face. “You look so beautiful, Irene.”She giggled and kissed me. “That's not what I asked you, Lucien.”“I am meeting the pack council.” I repeated slowly. “This is something I should’ve done a long time ago, it's not too late now, though. But I need you to stay here.”Her brows furrowed, worry creeping into her gaze. “Stay here? Why?”“Because I can't risk you getting hurt again. Not like before.” I kissed her, slower this time, memorising the softness of her lips. “Please, Irene. Trust me, huh?”Her sile

    Lucien's POV“I have stitched up his wound. He would come around in the morning. It's nothing serious.” The healer assured us and I gave him a nod of gratitude.Irene stood still, not wanting to leave the room.“Silas will be fine, Irene. Let's go to our room.” I whispered, pulling her away from the healer's chamber. Silas had passed out because of the blood he lost, but the healer assured us that he would be fine. I had no intention of going to the hospital, I wanted to do this low key and get to the councils when they were totally relaxed. Irene didn't argue with me this time, she just held my hand tight as I led her out. She made sure Silas was settled and he was breathing. “Will he be fine?” She asked silently, her voice warm.I nodded without saying a word. She seemed to trust my silence because she willingly allowed me to lead her down the hallway, past other rooms, until we got to our room. When we reached the bedroom door, I paused, reluctant to go in with her. She might b
