Chapter Nineteen.

Rio’s POV.

I had left the room quietly, leaving the beautiful woman in the capable hands of our nurses to take care of. They had a lot of experience in handling injuries, not like this though, but injuries still. I knew she would be well taken care of. It wasn’t just her physical health that concerned me, though. The fear and stress she’d been through would take some time to heal, and I wanted to make sure that she had everything she needed to recover fully.

As I walked down the corridor, my thoughts went back to the moment I first saw her.

The name suited her perfectly, and she was a beauty. She had been in such a vulnerable state, yet there was an undeniable grace about her. Even covered in dirt and blood, she looked stunning, right before she woke up. And when she opened her eyes, I got lost.

When I saw her in the forest, at first, I was taken aback by her beauty. Her long, dark hair, her striking eyes, and the way she carried herself even in the face of danger. Everything, it all captivated me instantly. But that moment of admiration quickly turned to alarm as I noticed the mountain lion stalking her.

I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. My instincts as an alpha kicked in, and I knew I had to protect her. The fight had been intense, but I felt the need to keep her safe, even though I had never met her before. The relief I felt when I finally killed the lion was indescribable, and seeing her face light up with gratitude made it all worth it. Before she fainted in my arms, that is.

!I reached the end of the corridor and paused, looking out a window at the pack’s territory. It was peaceful here, and I hoped Brielle would find some peace here too, at least until she was strong enough to leave.

I didn’t want her to leave, though. Maybe she wouldn’t too.

As I stood there, my mind wandered back to her again. I couldn’t help myself. I couldn’t help but think about how gorgeous she was, and I had never met anyone quite like her before. There was something about her that drew me in, something I couldn’t quite put my finger on, and it was strange since we had barely had a proper conversation.

See, I had met many women in my time, but none had ever captivated me the way Brielle did. There was a delicate strength about her, that made me want to protect her, to keep her safe from harm. I wanted to wrap her in my arms and be her refuge, and I know how craft my thoughts sounded. I also knew she had someone waiting for her back home, but the thought of her leaving made my chest tighten.

Maybe she didn’t have a mate, but her family.

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. This wasn’t the time to get lost in fantasies. Brielle needed to heal, and I needed to focus on helping her. Still, the idea of her being part of my life, part of the pack, was in the back of my mind, and it made my head calm. It was a thought I couldn’t quite shake off of me.

I turned away from the window and started to head to my office. There were arrangements to be made, calls to be answered, and pack matters to attend to. But even as I sat down to soak myself in work for the rest of the day, thoughts of Brielle kept slipping in. Her voice, the way she looked at me with those deep, soulful eyes, the curve of her lips as she lay unconscious… it all played over and over in my mind.

A soft knock on the door pulled me from my reverie. One of the nurses stepped in, her expression professional but she had a small smile on

“Alpha Rio, the guest is now resting comfortably.” She reported. “Her injuries aren’t too severe, but she’s understandably shaken. We’ll keep a close eye on her and make sure she has everything she needs.”

“Thank you.” I said, nodding. “I appreciate everything you’ve done for her.”

“She’s pregnant, though…”

“Yes, that much is obvious.” I cut in, and there was an obvious edge to my voice. “What happened?”

“I just wanted to let you know, because I’d be sending someone to get some the roots that she might need.” The woman in front of me said. I was just jealous, and I let the anger take over me.

“Alright, go on and do that, thank you.”

The nurse smiled and left, and I leaned back in my chair, letting out a sigh. Knowing Brielle was safe brought a measure of relief to me. But it also made me realize just how much I wanted to be the one to take care of her, to make sure she was happy and healthy. I wanted to know her, everything about her.

I spent the rest of the day working on pack duties, but my thoughts kept returning to Brielle. I couldn’t deny the pull I felt towards her, and so, as the evening approached, I decided to check on her one more time before calling it a night. I made my way back to her room, knocking softly before entering. She was lying back against the pillows, looking more at ease than she had earlier. The stress lines were t there, and as I got closer, I found out that she was asleep.

I stayed in there to talk about some things while using the opportunity to stay by her side. She didn’t stir awake regardless.

As the night wore on, I reluctantly left her room, knowing she needed the rest, and she would be better tomorrow. But as I walked back to my own quarters, I couldn’t shake the feeling that that woman was meant to be part of my life, part of the pack.

BI knew it was too soon to think about such things, but the thought of her leaving filled me with a sense of loss. I had never felt this way before, and it both excited and terrified me. I was determined to get to know her better, to protect her, and maybe, just maybe, make her a permanent part of my life.

Only time would tell, but I was going to do everything in my power to keep her safe and happy.

    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

  • The Contract Luna's Salvation    Chapter Forty Eight

    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

    Lucien's POV She wouldn't leave his side, his blood all over her outfit as they bagged up the body and placed it in the ambulance. The loud siren sound filled the area and the abandoned company and woods were marked as a crime scene. Since the incident, Zane has been nowhere to be found.Forensics and detectives filled the area soon enough. I was proud that they were using the budget allocated for great use. The law enforcement department took the highest budget that year. A necessary upgrade to ensure peace during this Chase fiasco. “You might want to see this, Alpha,” The Inspector said to me as I waited outside the crime scene. I hesitated to follow her into the warehouse. I didn't want to leave Brielle in such a condition.She still looked shaken, her hands shivered in the blanket and I could feel her fear through our mate bond. “Do I have to come along?” I replied. “The evidence unit is yet to bag them, so it's best you come see them now because they can't be moved,” She said

  • The Contract Luna's Salvation    Chapter Forty Five

    Lucien's POV “Where is she?” No one could answer my question. Law enforcement had begun going through security footage and interrogating hospital personnel and staff. “I'm sorry brother,” Zane approached me. “I should have known something was wrong. I thought maybe she needed space and I didn't see what was coming next,” I exhaled deeply, letting out the frustration through my breath. “No, it's no one's fault. We are going to get her back,” “Chase might already have her,” He stated the fear that was clearly on both our minds. I suspected it might be him but I remained optimistic, hoping for the best.“Then I will get her back,” I responded. My expression was as cold as the chills that ran through my veins. “I don't care about who but I am certain that I'm not going to let her be anyone's captive. Are you, brother?”The anger in his eyes was visible and he was still going through a lot of pain from his injuries. But that wouldn't stop him, “I will die before I let anything ha

    Brielle's POV “You need help, Romero. I can give it to you, I can help,” I muttered out of fear, I couldn't help but quake as he got even nearer. “Help? What do you think I am?” He replied with a distorted expression. The smile on his face sent chills up my spine. “No, I don't need help. I am the one helping alright,” “Just let me go please,” “Stop begging!” He thundered angrily. Stretched out his hands, trying to reach me. “I didn't kidnap you, I just needed to show you the evidence I had gathered so far. I don't want to hurt you,” I was careful, I didn't know the words that might trigger him and I wanted to use that moment to my advantage. “Okay, show me what you brought me here for,” “Alright,” He exhaled heavily with a soft laugh. “I almost thought you were like the others. Come,” He beckoned on me, I drew closer cautiously. Trying to hide the fear that was tearing through my heart. “This is what I'm talking about,” He pulled out a photo that had some sides worn out.
