Brielle's POV

I couldn't believe it was him. After all this time I thought he was dead, killed by Chase and his men. I watched him sleep peacefully and my chest wouldn't stop pulsating. Ken suddenly reminded me of a time when everything was easy and simple, a time when my life was mapped out to be spectacular. I ended up ruining that plan when I was given to Chase. My conscience would had been lighter if I didn't drag Ken into my abyss.

“If you keep staring, the workers will find it weird,” Lucien's voice startled me. I turned to see him approaching shirtless with his usual broody self. He pulled me in when he got close enough and smacked my lips with a passionate kiss.

“How is our guest?” He asked as he took a look for himself.

“He is okay, stable but unconscious,” I answered swiftly.

“How is Zane?”

“I have the best neurologist in the pack taking a look at him. Whatever that sick fuck placed in his head is keeping him unconscious,”

“He is scared to wake up, he doesn't want to hurt anyone,” I muttered with a heavy tone. I couldn't begin to fathom what he was going through, a fight that had no chance of winning, truly a horrible one.

“I think __”

“Brielle?” Ken's voice cut in. I turned in shock, watched as he sat back on the bed with painful groans.

“Ken,” I hurried into his arms without thinking. He had wrapped his around me when I realized how swiftly I moved and who I left behind. I could feel Lucien's stare at the back of my head.

“Good afternoon,” Lucien said. Ken was startled by his voice, almost like he didn't realize that there was someone else there the entire time.

“Alpha Lucien,” He remarked as he cowered backwards while Lucien advanced.

“I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you at first glance. I would never ignore Alpha Lucien the butcher,”

“No,” I blurted with a soft laugh.

“He isn't like that. That's just what Chase and his…”

“How did you know I'm not what they say, Brielle?” Lucien asked before I could finish my sentence.

“Don't believe people's words when it comes to brutality,” He said to Ken, who was scared out of his mind.

“That's enough,” I muttered with an unpleasant look. I knew what he was trying to do and it wasn't fair.

“Can you at least give us the room please?”

He hesitated, his gaze piercing into Ken's with such intensity.

“Lucien,” I called for his attention.

“I will be right outside,” He responded under his voice. He took one last glance at Ken before exiting and shutting the room’s door.

“God,” Ken exhaled heavily, his body trembling as he got closer to me.

“I'm sensing that there is something solid between you too,”

“Yes and complicated,” I answered. I grabbed his shivering hands and stared into the eyes of the first man that made me feel love.

“I am really sorry,” I broke down in tears immediately. I couldn't contain the guilt that was eating me up from the inside-out.

“Hey,” He wiped my tears swiftly, his bruised hand brushing against my face.

“Don't weep. Everything I did, I had no regret. I thought I lost you, Brielle,”

“I thought I lost you,” I said. He drew closer, his breath sending a tingling sensation through my body. For a moment, a nostalgic feeling came upon me and the memories I had with him came flooding back.

“Uh…” I muttered, watching as he leaned forward. My muscles suddenly became locked, I couldn't do anything as I felt stuck in my body.

His lips had barely brushed against mine when something in me held him back.

“No,” I groaned, panting heavily like I had lifted a heavy metallic plate.

“Seriously?” He reacted with disbelief.

“I was stuck at your home pack, suffering for being your lover while you enjoy your life here in their fancy mansion and fucking the Alpha of your chosing,”

“Ken…”

“Really, Brielle?” He said. His look froze me, sending a chill through me as guilt weighed on my conscience.

“You couldn't even confirm if I was still alive before you went ahead to be with the guy,”

“He told me you were dead,”

“Did he?” He shot back with a fierce tone. I had never seen such anger from him before.

“Can I have the room to myself for a while? Or should I have to kiss your feet for it since you are fucking the Alpha?”

“That's enough Ken,” I snapped angrily.

“I know I can't pretend to know what you had gone through but you don't know mine as well,”

“Really?” He stood up to his feet and took off his shirt. First glance at it made my heart shatter. His chest was filled with claw marks and lashes, tattoos all over his body in disoriented format.

“The tattoos were for his enjoyment, when he comes to just talk. He draws random tattoos on me to see how best I managed my pain,”

“Ken, I'm so…” He held me back as I attempted to approach him.

“Ken please,”

“I asked for space, what should I do to get it?” He retorted, looking away from me. I could still see his eyes filled up with tears and the guilt swallowed me whole.

I walked out in pain, clenching my fist to hold back the void feeling in my stomach. I walked the hallway with a buzzing sound that slowly drove me crazy while I played what he said to me on loop.

“Hey,” Lucien's voice sounded muffled. I could barely hear him through the ringing in my head.

“Brielle!” He grabbed me firmly.

“Sorry,” I exhaled.

“What happened in there? Something happened, Brielle. Did he say something?” He questioned, holding on to my shivering hands. He was both worried and protective but I didn't need any of those at the moment.

“I don't want you playing guardian, im fine. All he did was state the fact that I left him to suffer while I enjoy the privileges of your hospitality,” I said, a sarcastic smile moving across my face.

“He guilt trapped you, didn't he?”

“I stepped into that trap when I ran away without looking back,” I responded but that didn't change the furious nature of his gaze.

“Lucien, I did this to him. I am the one that caused his suffering, Zane’s suffering and even yours. Just let it go,”

“Let what go? You thought he was dead, Brielle,” He shot back swiftly.

“Hey! Don't eat yourself up for something that was beyond your control,”

“I didn't even mourn him,” I said as I fell into a deeper depressed state.

“Don't let him get into your head!” Lucien blurted furiously.

“That's what they do, they get into your head and make you feel shit and do …”

The pause he gave left me on suspense. He looked around, his head tilted a little to the left. That was his thinking pose, an idea had struck him.

“Lucien? What is it?”

“Son of a bitch!” He growled and headed straight to the quarters.

Lucien,” I called out, but he didn't slow down. He pushed the door open before I could stop him and I was shocked to what I saw.

“No,” I muttered as I stared at the dead guard on the bed. Blood soaked the bed clothing and there was no one around. Ken was gone.

    Third Person's POVAngelina stood by the window, staring at the woods, lost in thought. She was worried but filled with regret. The only regret that was bugging her was the fact that Brielle was still alive and breathing. “That look doesn't suit you,” Chase walked into the room. “Lighten up, a smile perhaps,” He handed her a glass sif champagne. She held and gazed at it with a baffled look. “Why didn't you kill her? She made everything far worse for me and I have no motive for my agendas,” She complained, her eyes twitching from the rage shooting through her body. “Calm yourself,” “Don't!” She threw the glass into the fireplace, causing it to shatter into tiny fragments all over the carpet. Chase sat still, his expression blank as he took a sip of his drink. “You don't get to tell me to relax. You pulled me away from my mission, the love of my life, my home that I was working so hard to make perfect,” She got more infuriated the more she spoke. Her whole fantasy world had crumbl

Zane is already there, watch over him,” He said in a hushed tone as he led me to one of his men. ,“Take her there and don't let anyone into the room,” He instructed. “Lucien __” “Don't worry, love,” He held me close, his fingers brushing my face gently as he tucked my hair to the back of my ear. I could sense the desperation from him but he tried his best to hide it with a smile. “I will join you when I have captured your brainwashed ex,” “Okay,” I muttered before I followed behind the armed security guard. I hurriedly went into the room and shut the door. Zane laid on the bed while there were three doctors actively checking up on him. “How is he?” I asked them.“ Well, his vitals are normal. It

    Lucien's POV“What the hell is going on here?” I asked , my voice conveyed how fast my patience was drifting. I have the chance to avenge Trivia and I wasn't going to waste it, even if the culprit shared the same DNA with her. “Mummy, is this brother bothering you?” The little girl asked , her look for more intimidating by the second. Suddenly an image flashes in my head and I recall where I knew her from. The image was from a memory of playing hide and seek with the little girl in front of me. And that was over two decades ago. “Cut the crap, Suzie!” I growled angrily. I walked to Angelina's bedside because I already knew what her presence meant. Chase was in the building and I wasn't going to let anyone stand before me and my revenge. The blank face on Angelina was intoxicating. She was still keeping up with appearances even after realizing that she was busted. “You know who I am, brother?” She asked, advancing slowly. Her eyes glowing red and her aura getting despicable as she

    Lucien's POV “Why did you get out of your room?” I helped her lay back down. Her hands were cold as ice as she shivered uncontrollably. “It seems like you are coming up with a fever. It might be your body reacting to the silver that was once in it,” “Nice,” she scoffed. “An alpha and a caregiver, you are full of surprises. I wonder what else you have in store,” She added with a smile that lightened the mood. “That's pretty much all the gifts I have. And why did you even step out of your room?” “I heard how chaotic it was, so I decided to check it out,” She answered softly. There was no fire in her, it was like she had lost her purpose, her hope. “Rest,” I patted her down. I looked around the room, trying to avoid direct eye contact because of the allegations that I couldn't shake off my mind. I wondered what if, just if they were right. I couldn't tell, I couldn't assume that my oldest friend, the twin of my beloved, would murder her sister. I stepped out after tucking her in,

    Brielle's POV“Zane!” Lucien's voice thundered in the hospital as he stormed in. Zane was restrained to a bed, the look he had scared me at first glance. “What is wrong with you?” “Alpha,” A doctor stopped Lucien from moving further. “Your brother appears to be suffering some sort of mental breakdown. So if you don't mind, we will need you to take it easy on him,” “Breakdown?” Lucien reacted. “What's happening to my brother?” He asked the doctors. Their faces explained enough that they had no idea what was wrong with him. “Zane,” I called out softly. He responded to my voice by turning his gaze to me, his eyes were blood red and teary. It carried a mix of emotions that I couldn't describe. Pain, anger, fear, sadness. All of them bubbled inside of him and it hurt me to see him like that. “Just give us time to work,” The doctor ushered us to the waiting room. Lucien was unsettled, looking over his shoulders to his brother. I could feel how worried he was and it was an overwhelmin
