Semua Bab Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me: Bab 41 - Bab 50

LUCIANIt had been about three days since the dinner with Kane and Marissa. Two since Zayn told me about West Creak brokering an alliance with Ashborne Pack. Five since I’d noticed something unusual with Violet.She’d been pretty good at her role as Luna, no doubt about that. I had to give it to her, she had a knack for being open and there for the pack members whenever they needed it.Whatever complains it was they had, especially when it was something that required utmost attention, she was always quick to lay it to me. Which was one of the things I actually found amusing about her.What I did find unusual though was certain actions I’d picked up on from being her roommate for quite some time now.It mainly happened when she was asleep. I’d been skeptical when it happened the first time.She’d mumbled somethings in her sleep, her whole form shrinking into what had seemed like a fetal position.I still remembered how she’d woken up with a start, her whole body lightly trembling. She

VIOLET“So what it is?”I didn’t bother wasting time as I went straight to the point. Being in the confines of Lucian’s office wasn’t something I found comfortable.Coupled with the fact that he hadn’t said anything about seeing me that way last night, I didn’t know what to make of anything.“Sit down first, then you can start running your mouth.” Lucian shut the door before turning to me.“I doubt you’d know much about keeping your mouth shut,” I shot back. “Barking out orders and telling people to do as you want must be a huge turn-on for you.”His eyebrow twitched in irritation. Before I knew it, he had already crossed the room and closed the distance between us.“Shut the hell up, or I will make you.”There was a dangerous glint in his eyes as he stared back at me. Too bad, I wasn’t one to give a damn about what he wanted.If he wanted to act all prickly, then everyone was going to get pissed today. Two could play at that game.“Is that always your go-to threat or you just have th

Lucian’s POV.There was once a time when I could feel any and everything all at once. I carried my emotions with everything that little heart could muster.That was over two decades ago.I’d long since smothered that piece of shit that only ever made me do stupid things. How did that help?It made me into the Alpha I was. Strong, dominant, and unwilling to break no matter the strain.“Hit me.” I turned to Zayn, waiting to hear what he had to say.The report was simple: Two dead, one injured. Patrol breach, southern ridge. Most likely scouts—testing us.I set the parchment down without reacting. I’d seen worse. Handled worse. But the tension in my jaw didn’t ease.Zayn leaned back in the leather chair across from me, arms crossed, waiting. “You going to say something or just keep brooding?”I looked at him once. That was enough to shut him up.“This isn’t a scouting mission,” I said. “It’s provocation. Tristan’s baiting us.”“He thinks you’ll act emotionally,” Zayn muttered.He’s not e

Violet’s POVIt had been days since I’d had that odd conversation with Lucian. I didn’t peg him as one who would indulge me in such talk but I wasn’t particularly complaining either.So long as things went my way, who cared if he was messing with me?Hearing that Tristan had gone ahead to make Sienna his Luna had been the real blow. New mark aside I had still been able to feel the heart-searing pain.For a split second, I had wished the pain would just come to an end.But then again, what was revenge without a little pain to drive it?Today, I was doing some sparring with Reese. So far so good, I could see the improvement in my form and techniques.“Come on, Moore.”She dodged a right swing of mine before aiming for my torso. I managed to sidestep her attack, careful to keep my guard for each one of her attacks.We went like that for a few more minutes, the fighting becoming more intense. Reese wasn’t smiling anymore.Each attack had more precision, a stronger force behind it. I block

LUCIAN“What time do you think he’s going to get there?” I asked Zayn.The beta’s focus seemed fixed on some origami he was working on. It was mildly amusing how something so silly could completely grab his focus.“By my calculation, Tristan should already be meeting with their delegates.” Zayn answered folding the paper into another half.I let out a grunt, feeling my irritation slowly rising. It wouldn’t be completely easy to wring out information about the proceedings of the meeting since it’ll be a classified one.Which meant I couldn’t rely on my spies.“In any case, I believe we’ll get what we want soon enough. The bastard’s not as infallible as he likes to think.” Zayn said, as if reading my thoughts.“You’re not wrong.” My fingers thrummed on the desk absentmindedly. “I trust it’s something you can handle.”Zayn’s tongue popped out of his mouth, brows furrowed in what looked like concentration. Seconds later, he made a sound of triumph.“Success.”In his hand was now a paper c
