LUCIAN'S POV

The mall was still quiet when we arrived the following morning. There were fewer shoppers and the energy from yesterday's chaos had faded, replaced by the sterile hum of fluorescent lights and distant elevator chimes.

I didn't head to the escalator. That scene was already cleaned, already empty. What I needed were witnesses.

Xavier and I split up, covering the stores closest to where Selena fell, asking if they had witnessed how Selena fell. I started with a small jewelry kiosk, th

    DARCY'S POVI had been pacing back and forth in my guest room non stop. I couldn't stop replaying what had just happened in the living room.‘I kissed Xavier in front of Ryan and acknowledged him as my mate.’Would that be enough to make Ryan back down? What if I already made him more angry by confronting him?I pressed my hands to my flushed cheeks and tried to breathe. I had made sure my parents were on their way back to Lunaroria before acting so bold. Ryan couldn't threaten them anymore. But he could still threaten Xavier. ‘Our mate is the Crown Prince of Ardyth. Have some trust in him,’ Lexie said.A knock on the door made me jump. I rushed over and pulled it open.Xavier stood there, his eyes dark, his chest heaving slightly. He didn't say a word. He just stepped inside, grabbed my waist, and crushed his lips to mine.I gasped against his mouth, my hands flying up to his chest. He kicked the door shut behind him and spun me around, pressing my back against the wood."Xavier…" I

    XAVIER'S POVAn hour after Darcy left Selena and Caius, I decided to go look for her. She wasn't in her guest room or with Selena, so I concluded that she was in the living room.I made my way downstairs, my footsteps echoing in the quiet corridor. I was about to take the last few steps when I heard voices. “I don't believe it, Darcy.” Ryan said,which made me stop on my tracks.“Believe it or not, I don't care.”I moved closer, standing at the bottom of the stairs where I could see both of them clearly. Ryan was standing too close to Darcy, his hand wrapped around her wrist. She was trying to pull away, but he wouldn't let go."I just want you to be honest with me, Darcy." His voice was soft, almost coaxing. "Is Xavier truly your mate? Or are you just using him to push me away?"My blood boiled. My wolf surged forward, snarling in my head.‘He's touching her. I'm going to tear him apart.’‘Not yet,’ I told him. ‘I want her to tell him off. He won't stop until she shows him she's not

    LUCIAN'S POVThe door to Elira's chambers creaked open, and I stepped aside to let the Priestess enter first.Her sharp eyes scanned the environment with a small satchel over her shoulder as she walked in.I stood by the door, watching her trace her fingers in the air, her lips moving in a low chant I couldn't quite hear and the temperature in the room seemed to drop.After a long moment, she turned to me. "This place is filled with dark magic," she said, her voice calm but serious. I nodded, keeping my face neutral. "I suspected as much."She continued her walk, sprinkling water from a small vial as she went. The water sizzled when it touched certain spots, evaporating into thin wisps of smoke.I kept a close watch on her, waiting for when she would notice the painting. After some moments, she stopped beside the bed and stared at the painting. "The dark magic is thickest here," she said, gesturing toward the painting. "More powerful than anywhere else in the room. It's more focused

Then I turned and threw my arms around Caius, burying my face in his chest."I'm so sorry," I whispered. "I'm so sorry for everything. For believing them, fo not coming back sooner. For…""Shh." He stroked my hair, his voice gentle. "None of this is your fault. You were manipulated. You were lied to. But I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere."I pulled back, looking up at him. His eyes were warm, his smile soft. He looked so sincere, so loving.This is the man I love. This is my mate and nothing Lucian said can change that."Actually," I said, a smile spreading across my face, "I have a surprise for you."He raised an eyebrow. "A surprise?"I took his hand and placed it on my stomach.His eyes widened. His mouth opened, but no words came out."We're going to have a baby," I said softly. "You're going to be a father."Caius stared at me, h

    LUCIAN'S POVI stormed down the corridor, my vision red with rage. My fists were clenched so tight my nails bit into my palms. Every step I took echoed off the stone walls like a drumbeat of fury.I couldn't believe she looked me in the eyes and chose him.She believes every lie he fed her."Lucian! Lucian, wait!"Xavier's voice followed me, but I didn't slow down. I didn't want to hear anything. I just wanted to get as far away from that room as possible."Lucian, stop!"His hand grabbed my arm, yanking me to a halt. I spun around, my wolf surging to the surface."This is your fault!" I shouted, my voice cracking. "You suggested this! You said Caius would tell her the truth! You convinced me to trust him!"Xavier's face went pale. "Lucian, I didn't know…""You knew! You knew what he was capable of! You knew he would never do anything that would benefit me! But you insisted, and now Selena thinks I'm the villain!" I shoved him back, my chest heaving. "She hates me, Xavier. She looked

All the fear, all the confusion, all the frustration of the past weeks came flooding out in a wave of tears."Caius!" I threw myself against his chest, burying my face in his neck. "I missed you so much. I couldn't even reach you. I was so scared. I thought something terrible had happened."His arms wrapped around me, strong and warm. "I'm here, Selena. I'm here. Everything is going to be okay."I clung to him, breathing in his scent. He smelled different than I remembered. But I pushed the thought away. We'd been apart for months. Of course, things would feel strange.He pulled back slightly, his hands cupping my face. His eyes searched mine, and then he leaned in and kissed me.I didn't hesitate. I kissed him back, my hands gripping his shirt, my heart racing. But even as our lips moved together, something felt off. His kiss was too hard and demanding. Not
