Chapter 48. Lucien POV
My head stayed firmly in my hands, roughly grabbing at my hair in frustration. I didn’t want to risk my scars going into nuclear meltdown by looking at her. Nor did I want to give her fucking satisfaction either.
“What do you want?” I growled at her. The faintest hush of a gasped breath before she softly declared.
“That’s not very nice after all these years, I saw you yesterday you know.”
“You know I left immediately too then, if I had wanted to talk to you I would have.”
I heard her click the roof of her mouth in annoyance, a bad habit she had failed to drop.
“You can at least look at me, do I not get that?”
“As you well know, I fucking can’t thanks to your psychotic family slashing me up,” I snapped back angrily, “I think we’re done here." I waved my hand, gesturing for her to get the hell out.
Instead of leaving, her footsteps softly padded further into the room, Viktor was oddly still, unmoved by her presence. Yesterday he

The Luna's Rejected Assassin Chapter 49. Helena POV
After fainting in front of Alpha Brandon and Luna Hollie when that goblet appeared, Alexander had carried me straight to bed. Still woozy and useless he had driven us straight home the next day and taken me to our suite. It has been two days. The commitment ceremony for Azalea and Ivan is tomorrow and I'm still on bed rest. Alexander is being so firm about it it's irritating the hell out of me but I said I would trust him. Doctors have been taking blood and performing all kinds of tests. It's not like I can tell them I'm fine, I just fainted from seeing my terrifying series of visions start to come to life. I pace around the room, the main reason I'm so irritable, I think anyway is that I'm missing Alexander's touch. We have been so back in sync and I want that closeness, that raw edgy, sweaty desperate closeness you only get from a matebond. I sent him a pulse of desire, wondering if he would return it or be too busy. Instead, it bounced
The Luna's Rejected Assassin Chapter 50. Helena POV
Alexander and I headed to the castle courtyard together, my hand resting on his firm arm as he formally escorted me to greet our arrival. In his white shirt and jet black cloak he reminded me of a wild pirate, his hair blowing back into the wind and his eyes narrowed in suspicion. Leaving the sanctuary of the castle, into the bright sunshine of the square courtyard felt like walking towards a firing squad. The half-dozen Beta’s we had just spoken to was close to the vehicles. To others they were offering a friendly welcome and asking about the drive, we knew that one gesture and they would all be pinned and arrested. Annoyingly, a large crowd of omegas, servants and others had gathered around the edges of the large square, eager to see who arrived in such triumphant style. Fyre nudged me and as I breezed through the group, ready to greet the newcomers I saw the red hair of Ivan bobbing through the mass of people. Azalea was no doubt close by too. My heart lea
The Luna's Rejected Assassin Chapter 51. Helena POV
He slowly moved to stand next to Bella as she lay crouched on the floor. Her eyes now stared sadly at the floor. I could see her hands shaking though, she was absolutely terrified. "Alpha Francis!" a female voice rang out as Azalea ran forward from within the crowd, embracing him like a father. He clutched her to him tightly, then held her face, staring deeply into her eyes before softly kissing her forehead. Ivan followed behind clapping his hands, a huge smile on his face. He didn't even give me a look as he walked towards his somewhat father-in-law, clearly taken with the exotic charisma he had on display. "Hurrah for Alpha Francis! He has recaptured the escapee! What a miracle!" Azalea cheered. She thrust her hands into the air to stimulate a ripple of applause from the crowd. I heard murmurs amongst the rabble of 'East Wall' and other such threats. No wonder Bella was shaking. Alpha Francis gave Azalea another kiss on the forehead in thanks
The Luna's Rejected Assassin Chapter 52. Bella POV
I never did get offered any more food. Less than an hour after Alpha Francis and his crazy blue eyes came to question me I was bundled into the back of a large transport van. He came to watch though, still dressed entirely in white, his arms folded like a Roman emperor as I tried to resist his heavy-handed Beta goon. "Bella, tell me who you came here with, it's a simple enough question," he said again, this time the irritation in his voice barely concealed. "I came alone," I muttered in between struggling and wriggling between the arms of his Beta who held me in a wrestling grip. "Take out the chair then, she can rattle around in the back," and with a wave of his hand, he disappeared. Two other Beta’s clad in their strange white-swirled cloaks jumped into the van with screwdrivers. The bench and seat belts were soon removed. I was going to spend the next few days rattling round like a pea in a metal tin. "Poor choice," the Beta hol
The Luna's Rejected Assassin Chapter 53. Bella POV
I lost all concept of time as I rolled around mercilessly in the back of that van. The gravelled roads I'd enjoyed travelling down whilst gripping Lucien's delicious body on the motorcycle were now torture. I held onto the door handles as much as I could but I got a sense the Beta driver enjoyed hearing my squeals as tight corners sent me spinning into the metal walls. The drive was relentless, only stopping for the briefest toilet breaks. They must have been driving in shifts to ensure no rest stops. Even if Lucien had wanted to find me I was so many miles away now it would be impossible. My heart ached at the idea of not seeing him again. Gitte murmured, I think we will, don't lose hope. Every time she spoke was a thrill. Four years without her counsel had been horrendous. She explained that as she was newly out of her regression, I would not be able to shift yet. Now my mind was in its right place I needed to restore my body with food and water, get to a h
The Luna's Rejected Assassin Chapter 54. Bella POV
The following hours saw me flit in and out of eating and sleeping, unaware of time or even what day it was. Every time I emptied my plate and fell asleep I'd wake up and find another fully loaded bowl of food ready for me. Someone was taking pity on me, and I was eternally grateful for it. Gitte powered me through, nudging me into recovery slowly but surely. Eventually, I felt rested enough to sit upon the bed, staring at the four walls once more. I heard footsteps down the corridor, different to the heavy ones that fetched the food. Angling my head in curiosity it seemed an eternity before a face I'd never anticipated seeing peered through the bars of my door. Ivan. His red hair and green eyes were so distinctive I could recognise him from miles away. Yet here he was, my former best friend, at my cell door for the first time since I was arrested. He coughed awkwardly, clearly, he hadn't chosen to be here. "I've been assigned to guard you until mornin
The Luna's Rejected Assassin Chapter 55. Bella POV
I hit the floor with a thud as my breath left my chest. I barely even registered landing on the ground before I was scooped up into his strong arms and carried into a darkened side corridor. He was dressed entirely in black, I could only just make out his eyes, the sparks of gold glinting. His huge shoulders cast a long shadow down the gloomy, torch-lit corridor as he looked me over. "Bella who did this to you?" His rough hands roamed up and down my arms, appraising my bruises. The sensation of his tender touch against my battered skin made me close my eyes as butterflies stormed my stomach. Up and down his hands roamed, every single bruise noted and tenderly examined by him with concern knotted across his brow. "We need to get out of here, but I'll tell you everything," I whispered, my eyes still shut as his hands desperately explored my arms, shoulders, and neck. I sighed deeply at the crackling sensation his hands left on my skin as if his ve
The Luna's Rejected Assassin Chapter 56. Bella POV
Speedily washed, fed and in fresh clean clothes, I felt like a completely different person. Gitte was constantly on alert looking out for Lucien. I grew restless with anticipation as the minutes ticked by until his return. I wore a new black tank top and soft black leggings, my hair now clean and glossy though there was no mirror to tell if it was still a crazy mess I didn’t care so much anymore. Feeling like a naughty child placed on a step I longed to leave the cabin and see if I could find him. Every nerve jangled, hoping I hadn’t made him think I didn’t return his affection. Finally, I could take it no longer, I pulled on my black boots and started down the path where he had gathered the wood. The steep incline made me gasp as I marvelled at how strong he had been to carry me on his shoulders all this way. Gitte noticed a small collection of rocks and boulders off the path and nudged me to investigate. As I approached, ducking and bending under branches I saw his
