Raphael~

I watched her crumble, her face in her hands as she held back tears. I knew Lucianne more than she could ever know. Maybe I knew her too late in this saga, but I knew her now, and I could see through the determination in her gaze that she was holding on by a thread.

My instincts screamed at me to reach out, to pull her into my arms and whisper the apologies that would never be enough. But I stayed rooted in place, a coward in the face of my own feelings. What good would my words do now? I had failed her, not once, but repeatedly, each failure a dagger to my chest.

I recalled how I had been so cruel to her, acting as if I had been the only one who lost everything. In my stupidity, I had ripped one more thing away from myself. The look Jules gave me right after Reiner escaped my grasp the first time haunted my memory, and the words scorched my soul.

"You are the second man in her life who has failed her."

The truth of that statement hit me like a sledgehammer. I wasn’t just any

  • The Lycan Princess' Revenge    Chapter 73

    Lucianne~When I awakened, Raphael was not in bed. It was a relief because I could not quite understand what had happened between us the previous night. It had been so spontaneous and overwhelming, a whirlwind of emotions and sensations that I wasn’t sure how to process. My body still hummed with the afterglow, but my mind was a tangled mess of thoughts and questions. What did it all mean? What would it change between us? Would it change anything at all?I sat up slowly, pulling the sheet around me as I glanced around the room, trying to gather my thoughts. The bed was empty, but the faint scent of Raphael lingered in the air, a reminder of what had transpired. My heart ached with a mixture of longing and uncertainty. I wanted to find him, to talk to him, but at the same time, I was afraid of what he might say—or worse, what he might not say.Taking a deep breath, I slid out of bed, the cool air brushing against my skin as I searched for my clothes. My movements were slow, deliberate,

    Lucianne~It did not sink in at first and blinked at him, confusion whirling within me. Why would my eyes be glowing? Then my breath fractured. No... It could not be...He got up, cradling my face, his eye searching "Nova..." My heart lunged into my throat, hope filling me. "Could it really be? What if she is not there?" I was a single breath away from hyperventilating. But Raphael stroked my cheek, grounding me. "Call for her," he whispered.I took a deep, shaky breath, my pulse racing with a mixture of hope and fear. Nova. The name felt foreign on my tongue, a distant memory that I had buried deep within me. After losing her, it was as if a piece of my soul had been ripped away, leaving me hollow. But now, with Raphael’s words hanging in the air, there was a flicker of something—something that I didn’t dare to fully believe yet.“Nova…” I whispered, my voice barely audible as I closed my eyes, trying to reach out with my mind. The familiar darkness of my subconscious greeted me, bu

    Lucianne~During the entire dinner my mind had travelled to another realm entirely. The table was filled with joyous conversations and congratulations. Everyone acted as though they did not see the eye patch strapped to Raphael's face. I felt like I was going crazy.The only people that seemed to show any bit of the tension was my family. They all seemed to be glancing suspiciously at each other. Then it clicked, it might have been because of Raphael's state that she had looked so perplexed.But now, she was eating and not meeting my eye. Something was wrong but I was the only one being kept in the dark. The tension gnawed at me like a relentless itch I couldn’t scratch. As I picked at my food, my mind raced, trying to piece together the fragments of unease that swirled around me. The table was alive with laughter and cheerful banter, yet all I could focus on was the silent, looming presence of Raphael, the eyepatch a glaring reminder that something was terribly wrong. How could every

    Lucianne~The wait was unnerving, and with each hour that went by, I lost more confidence in him coming. It was almost unfathomable that he would leave like this. An Alpha of this pack, one known for his immense power, leaving when this alliance was needed to ensure our survival, sounded impossible in theory. But here I was, pacing in my wedding gown. Jules had left a few minutes ago, promising to give me more information when she returned. The call had seemed urgent, with the messenger giving me a nervous glance as she whispered to Jules.The lump in my throat would not dissolve or go down, no matter how hard I tried. My heart was heavy with the dread that weighed it down. I found myself clutching the pearls around my neck, trying to ground myself. The worry was agonizing as my mind thought through every new possibility of what could have happened.What if he hadn’t tried to leave and had been taken by the enemy? It was unlikely because Raphael was a Lycan, one with more than one god

    Lucianne~I tossed the knives at the dummy, my agitation only growing by the second. I took a deep breath, trying to reel in my emotions, but it was hard, especially with the perpetual silence that haunted my subconscious. I threw a spinning kick at the dummy, and it fell back with a dull thud.I clenched my jaw, rotating my neck. I was drenched in sweat, my training attire stuck to me like a second skin. I had taken everyone's advice and rested for a full two days. I took my medicines and slept, in an effort to regain my strength.In three days, I would be walking down the aisle. I would be Raphael's wife and Luna. Yet, how could I hope to be the Luna that my people will count on when I was wolfless? I had tried everything to pull Nova out of the void where she was stuck. I refused to believe that she was truly gone, wiped away like a simple stain in my subconscious. It was a complete contrast to the fiercely loyal and brave wolf that she was. She had to be somewhere, trying to call
