LUCIEN’S POV Kane led the way out of the office and from his direction, I could guess he was walking over to his office.I wasn’t ready to begin working with him though. I needed a while to face my new reality and even more, needed to head back to the omega training camp to continue my work for the day.But Alisha had mercilessly stripped me of that right. Now I not only had to listen to her but also Kane who was supposed to be my best friend.“Where are we going, Kane?” I finally voiced out my question. “Are we-““Remain silent and follow me,” he hissed at me. “Didn’t you hear the Alpha? You now work for me and whatever you’ll do would be completely my decision. So keep your mouth shut and quietly walk behind me.”Resisting to urge to speak back to him, I hung my head sheepishly and continued to walk. There was no point trying to argue with him. He couldn’t see me for the real me so it was probably only going to get angrier. After walking for a couple of minutes more, just like I g

LUCIEN’S POV“Luna, how are you feeling now?”I opened my eyes to meet a maid kneeling by my bedside, a wet towel in her hands, concern in her eyes. Quickly returning the towel to the bowl of water on the floor, she leaned closer towards me and placed a hand on my head, comparing my temperature with hers.“I’m fine,” I managed a smile. “You don’t have to keep on treating me like I’m actually really sick.”The love and care I was suddenly getting from the maids around me was overwhelming. It was strange and i just kept on wondering if it was cause they really cared about the Luna or simply because Alisha had asked them to.Alisha on one hand had greatly taken me by surprise. I didn’t expect her to not only sympathize with me but also ensure I was taken care of. I’d expected her to think everything that happened to me wasn’t a big deal but surprisingly, her actions proved the opposite.Did she care about me? Despite everything? “Of course, you aren’t fine,” the maid poured at me, takin

ALISHA’S POV “Is there anything else I can help you with?” “No, that’s all for now.”“Alright I’ll see you later then.”A light smile appeared on my face as I watched Lucien dance out of my office, returning to the omega training camp to continue his activities for the day.It was almost like he was suddenly a new person as the last few days that went by, his temperament had completely changed. He was suddenly diligent than ever and was always ready to be at my service whenever I needed him.Though it was strange, I decided to not think much about it and simply go with the flow. After all, it was nice to have someone comply with my orders easily, serve me and the training camp and even give me advices whenever I needed it.It was like we were suddenly working hand in hand. We barely argued and instead found ourselves joking around more often.The smile on my face grew wider as I returned to my seat. Grabbing the files waiting for me on the table, I shuffled through them in search of

LUCIEN’S POVI returned to my room, slightly giddy about whatever could be in the bag Alisha had given me.A gift from her? It was unusual, the mere thought making me happy. So happy I couldn’t care less about what was actually inside the bag- all that mattered were the thoughts.Shutting the door behind me the second I got into the room, I quickly opened the bag and much to my surprise, there was a dress in it. A beautiful dress.A light gasp accompanied with laughter escaped my lips as I brought out the gown. It was a blue long one with a lot of feminine details. From laces hung around to it to tiny diamonds glistening all around it.My excitement from the gown didn’t last for long though as almost immediately my eyes caught sight of something else in the bag. Something silver and shiny. Something that looked sharp from a distance.With furrowed brows, I stretched my hand into the bag and had my fingers traced what the additional gift was, an even louder gasp immediately escaping my

ALISHA’S POVIt had to be the first time I was laying my eyes on Lucien’s wolf in its full form.Not surprisingly, his wolf was huge, its dark fur literally glistening in the dark. Its dark eyes shone and stared directly at me as it sprawled against the floor, howling continuously. “Alisha, my mate. It’s my mate!”I could hear Diana call out to me, the desperation evident in her voice. After all, after so long she was in contact with her wolf and wasn’t hiding how much she missed him.She could barely hold herself back, the bond pulling her to her mate stronger than ever. She wanted to be with him. She wanted to be close to him again and I completely understood her.But what was even more confusing to the both of us was how Lucien had suddenly transformed into his wolf, taking his original form.It was no news that Lucien had lost the bond between himself and his wolf. Even more strangely, he was no longer in his own body making it harder for him to summon his wolf. But somehow, it h
