บททั้งหมดของ An Alpha Queen's Rogue : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Lucian’s POVI slam the door behind me harder than I intend, causing Madeline to jump in fear. "Sorry." I say quickly.Since I entered her room, she's been a little jumpy. I felt her flinch when Elisha knocked at the door too."Are you fine?" I ask as I hold her hands in mine, interlocking it."Yeah, why?" She tucks. Strand of hair behind her ear, revealing those beautiful eyes of hers."You seem a bit... jumpy." "Oh, it's nothing. Really. Just a little shook after today's hunt." I feel her hands stiffen as she says that."Oh, that's true. How'd that go? You guys didn't bring back any game, did you?"She shakes her head. "N-no we didn't. There wasn't much for us to catch so Fang thought we should come back." Something feels off with the way she says it but I let it go. "Alright then. Maybe next time.""Yeah," she turns to smile at me. "Next time."I make a mental note to ask Fang after we get back from the meeting we're going to."How about you? You're good? You looked a little unse

Lucian’s POVMornings always come sooner but this one seemed to come double the pace. My eyes snap open as the sun rises and I can't seem to shake the feeling of responsibility from my shoulders.If, by luck, I'm able to convince the rest of the pack to come to our aid, it'll not only change the tide of the forthcoming wars but also legitimate us as a pack, grant us allies for whenever bigger troubles arise and also help us expand.I exhale from my mouth as I sit upright, my face falling in my hands. It’s not just a journey. It’s leaving my people. My pack. Her.I turn to my side to where Madeline is resting. As my eyes land on her face, eyes snap open and she looks away, avoiding eye contact with me. I've known she's been awake for a while but she's refusing to say anything.“Say something.” I say, wiping my face with the back of my hand , trying to look cool. “Anything.”She looks back at me, her lips parting but no sound comes out. Her eyes are too bright, shining in the morning l

Madeline’s POVI'm up from bed before the sun sets. Sleep didn't come as quickly as it should have and after it did, it left quicker. Lucian might have left, that doesn't mean the pack and every activity wouldn't continue. It was time to continue training. I wait until it's all bright outside as I begin to tie my shoe laces, I open the door of my room, squinting a little as the morning light hit my eyes.The pack is bubbly already and I spot people moving around and some even fighting. Rogues"Morning." I say to a woman staring, increasing my pace.People from Ryker's clique had heard of the lighting 'goddess' as they've put it and everytime I walk, it's more like them waiting for a moment for me to slip and let lightning shoot out of my ass.I don't head for the field immediately. There's something, no, someone, I have to set things right with. My coach and instructor, Elisha.With no idea or knowledge of where he'll be, I begin to search for him around.I don’t even know why, reall

Madeline’s POVI leave Fang’s room, clutching my stomach because I can’t stop laughing. It wasn't my fault I barged in. I remember Lucian telling me how knocking isn't a part of rogues. Besides, they should have locked their door."I should have knocked too." I groan under my breath as the sight of Claw in her assaults my thoughts. "Now, I've got my eyes raped. Graceful, Maddie. Real graceful,” I head to the woods alone. I had gone to Claw with the hopes of finding someone to train with. Maybe I'd just have to do it myself.Maybe I can try shifting.'About damn time.' Nyah growls in my head, causing me to roll my eyes at that.The voice in my head makes me jump. “Nyah?” I call out loud.'Who else, genius? You’ve been ignoring me long enough.'"Ignoring you?"I blink. “I haven’t been ignoring you! I’ve been... procrastinating.”'That’s literally ignoring.'“Semantics,” I shoot back, crossing my arms. “I’m here now, aren’t I?”Nyah huffs like a diva. 'We’ll see how serious you are.'Ru

Lucian’s POV"I've been thinking," "Of course, you have." Rock mumbles underneath his breath.I pretend to not hear. "I've been thinking, maybe I should put you in charge of the recruited warriors."Rock pauses from stoking the bun fire he had made, giving me a confused look. "Hun?""Hear me out on this one." I say, raising up my hands. "For every pack we go to—""—every successful pack, go on."I roll my eyes at the interruption. "Every 'successful' pack we go to, and for every warrior they hand us, I'll need someone from my side to keep command.""And you think I'm the right person for that?" "Why not?" I shrug.Rock shakes his head as he keeps stoking the flames. "Idiot.""Wait, you don't support the idea? It's a brilliant plan. You're strong, loyal, competent, ado—i mean, good..... looking." I correct myself."Listen, thanks for those words. I appreciate but I'm not qualified for the task. I'm not a leader. Give me a mountain to face and I'd face it. But leading a group of fight
