31 kira's POV.I didn't know if I heard him well, but it was precisely what I needed right now. I was sitting on him, while his eyes were staring deep into mine.“Play with you?” I asked, but instead of explaining, he took my hands, and placed it on his chest.At that moment, I felt something else take over me. My fingers trailed his face, and I took my time to behold his features before going back to his chest.He closed his eyes, but when I didn't get any reaction from him, leaned in, and used my lips to capture his nipples.Lucian let out a low rough grunt which made me aware that I was doing it right. I played with the other nipples with my hand, and he grabbed my hand, making me raise my head.“Move ahead…” He was almost breathless, and it showed in his tone. Unable to say anything, I nodded, trailing my hands, as I adjusted until my butt was sitting on his dick.“Damn it!” He yelled, making me think that I had hurt him. However, he closed his eyes, and exhaled.“You're going to

33Kira's POV.Mary tried her best to get me to talk, but I was silent, staring at nothing in particular.“Did you recall your child, talk to me. Maybe I can help with everything that you're going through. A problem shared is half–” I cut through her sentences. “It can't be solved. My heart aches, and every day, I watch all I love being taken away from me. I can't take it anymore!” I yelled, grabbing my hair when she rushed to stop me.“STOP!” She yelled. “I won't let you hurt yourself. You're my brother's mate, and you're supposed to be happy that we took Mia out of the way. Give him time, he'll come around,” Mary tried to convince me.I was silent. Rocking myself on the bed. However, what Mary didn't know was that I had a plan to leave this hellhole.I wouldn't care if I died. All I wanted to do was find peace with myself, and if dying was the only solution, then so be it.“Do you mind eating breakfast at the table, or would you rather have it here?” Mary asked, but I didn't reply. I

35Kira's POV, Lucian didn't bother saying anything else. He grabbed my hands, and pulled me out of the woods.“Let me go!” I yelled, struggling to get out of his grip, but no matter how I tried to, he didn't care to do my bidding.My main reason for wanting to leave him now was because of how scared I was. Since he hated me so much, I didn't know what the punishment he had planned out would be like.I hadn't been punished before, and I never wanted to be, that was why I tried my best to make sure I didn't go back. He was really mean, and could demand for my head if possible.“You should really just let me disappear,” I explained, and his grip tightened around my wrist.“Shut up!” He growled, Still pulling my hands. He wasn't even concerned about my whining.As soon as we got out of the woods, he pulled me towards his car, making sure I was seated with the seatbelt on, before he slammed the door, and moved to the driver’s seat.During the drive, I thought about his words. He was such a

37ARIC's POV“WHY CAN'T YOU ALL FIND HER?!” I yelled, making them shake in fear. However, the leader of the search team stepped forward to explain what was happening.“We have been searching for days. We spread across the borders, but none seemed to have found her,” He explained, making me throw the glass of wine I was sipping before they came in.My hands were clenched into fists, and my heart was drumming faster than usual. I hated the fact they couldn't find her. I couldn't even keep you with the frustrating dreams that left me hard.“Alpha, we want to assure you that we are doing our best to–” I immediately cut him off because the only news I wanted to hear right now was that she had been found.“Leave!” The man's mouth parted, but he immediately closed it, and turned his back towards me as he walked away with his team following behind him. My growls echoed through the empty room as soon as they left, and I pulled my hair, going back to my room, since I only came out because the

39ARIC's POV“Where have you been, Alpha?” My beta questioned as soon as I walked into the house.I turned towards him, eyes already filled with anger.“Is that the way to greet your alpha?” I asked, and he immediately bowed, feeling the need to apologize for his rude behavior.“I'm sorry, Alpha, but you left without telling anyone, and that alone was enough to make me worry,” he explained, making me roll my eyes.“Just let me go. Have they found the girl?” I asked with raised brows, and he immediately shook his head.The moment he said that, I growled inwardly, and walked away.I wanted to ask him to bring in a maid, but I was too angry, and didn't know what I would do to her because of how frustrated I had become.“Make sure no one disturbs me. No one at all!” I growled in anger, dragging my feet.I walked into my room, and slammed the door, allowing my back to rest on the door.The pressure was becoming unbearable. I needed to see her, I wanted her so badly, and there was nothing I
