To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

MERIDAI couldn't sleep, I was too scared too, I was thinking of so many things at the same time.Finally I got out of bed, my troubling thought couldn't let me sleep, I had to check on Lukan.I stepped into Lukan's room, The familiar scent of antiseptic mingling with the midnight air from outside where it had rained, few minutes ago .The guards at the door had nodded respectfully, their eyes conveying silent understanding of my worry, they had let me in and I couldn't care less if Julietta had given them an instruction not to let me see Lukan .Lukan lay still, his face pale, a slight frown creasing his brow even in unconsciousness.Seeing him like this made my chest tightened. I took a deep breath and quietly approach his bedside, sinking into the chair beside him. For a few minutes, I just watched him, willing him to wake up. He looked almost peaceful, except for the occasional twitch of his fingers as if he was locked in a dream he couldn't escape. I reached out , my fingers sli

MERIDAI woke up with the morning sun streaming through the curtains, the warmth pulling me out of a restless sleep. Yesterday's event lingered in my mind but I pushed them aside. No time to dwell on it. I had checked on Lukan once and also felt his temperature. It was breakfast time and as usual I had no clue where the maids are disappeared to. The smell of bacon sizzling in the kitchen greeted me as I walked down the stairs and there was Lemuel — standing over looking the table mildly annoyed, spatula in hand. "You are cooking? I asked my voice still groggy from sleep.He glanced up at me and smirked."Someone has to. Apparently the maids has taken the day off. Or gone on strike."I chuckled, shaking my head as I grab the seat at the small dinning table."First you are cooking and now the maids are missing. Seems the world is coming to an end."Lemuel rolled his eyes but there was a hint of a smile in his lips."I wouldn't get too comfortable. This might be the last edible mean I

ZAYNAI walked in, my heels clicking against the marble floors, the night air did little to calm me down.My thoughts churned with frustration and confusion. Father had given me a call on my way back and I knew he was thinking the same thing.What surprised me most, was the audacity."You called," I said. I met him at the balcony, his fingers gripping a wine flute and he didn't turned when I walked in. "How is everything at the pack house?"he asked his voice, low and intense and it seems like the question had plunged him in the chest .I knew he wasn't asking because he was interested in anything. He was angry. Someone had sabotaged our plans."Everything is under control, but Lukan is still unconscious. "I replied, my tone light, though my heart beat a little too faster I paused and then added." Lukan's badly injured. ""I know."he said almost immediately cutting me off." The car brakes." He took a sip." So I heard."There was something I wanted to say, it kept crawling at my c

MERIDADinner ended on a quiet, somber note. My mind wandered with each bite, leaving the table before I’d even stood up. Once everyone was distracted, I slipped out of the dining room, sneaking up through the hallways toward Lukan’s room. I didn't care to explain myself. My thoughts were locked on one thing only: him.When I finally stepped into his room, a chill settled over me. He lay still, a faint rhythm in his chest the only sign of life. In sleep, he looked vulnerable, almost painfully human—so different from the powerful, untouchable Alpha everyone knew him to be. I felt a pang of something I couldn’t name, an ache that crept up the back of my throat. After setting down the basin and towels I’d brought, I took a moment to compose myself, fighting the turmoil of my own pain—the poison still lingering inside me, slower to fade than I’d hoped. I would tell Lemuel about it but not now, I had taken an anti poison to wash it off.With a shaky hand, I picked up the damp cloth, gent

ZAYNAI slipped out of Lukan's room as quietly as I could, casting one last glance back at his still form.The relief from Doctor Vale's assurance that he had recover was still fresh but a dark tension twisted in my gut. There was one more thing left to handle Down the hall, passed the rows of rooms on both sides, I took the stairs leading to the back of the Packhouse which might lead me to the parking lot if I took another bend, Doctor Vale waited for me there . His hands were clasped behind his back, his sharp gaze trained on me the second around the corner."Doctor Vale,"I murmured as I approached ,keeping my voice low." Thank you for coming all this way."He nodded his expression unreadable."You wanted to speak privately, Miss Zayna?"I glanced around before pulling him aside to a more quiet corner. My pulse was pounding, my heart hammering with the weight of what I was about to ask him. The fear in me almost made my heart to stop beating but I tried not to show it. "I trus
