All Chapters of Alpha Lucien Craved For Me Even After Breakup: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I stepped out of Roland's car, my jaw dropping at the sight of Crystal Rose Mall. The gleaming glass structure stretched toward the sky, its petals-like fixtures catching the sunlight."Close your mouth before you catch flies." Roland's hand found the small of my back. My throat bobbed."I used to press my nose against these windows as a kid." I fidgeted with the hem of my simple black dress. "Never actually went inside." Well, my father never really allowed me outside most of the time at all.The automatic doors whooshed open, a wave of cool air scented with expensive perfume escaped. Women in designer outfits strutted past, their heels clicking on marble floors. A group of them gave me a once-over, their perfectly painted lips curling.The interior of the mall is a mix of modern and castle-like features. I shrank closer to Roland. "Everyone's staring.""Let them stare." His voice dropped lower, that dangerous edge slithering in again. "You're with me.""That's not as reassuring as y

We stepped into the elevator, my mind still reeling from Jacob’s phone call. The silence stretched between me and Roland and the world around us until we reached the parking lot.“Why do I need protection, Roland?” I pointed a finger towards me. “What aren't you telling me?”Roland’s jaw tightened. He rested a hand on my lower back, guiding me toward his midnight blue car. “The Rose Sky Pack has been circling us like vultures. They want to tear down everything your brother built.” His voice dropped, a dangerous edge creeping in. “And now that you're back, they'll use any weakness they can find.”“Weakness?” I stopped, looking up at him. “I’m the weakness?”He spun me around swiftly, his hands gripped both of my shoulders. “Yes. They'll come after you to get to him.” His green eyes blazed like liquid emerald and that made my breath catch. “But I won't let them touch what's mine to protect.”I gasped at his possessive tone. The way he said ‘mine’ sent electricity down my spine.“Your b

I followed Jacob and Roland outside. The evening breeze caressed my face as we stepped onto the lawn. A flash of light, then those in their wolf forms now stare back at us with their human eyes. Even their rigid postures and firm faces hinted at the fear shrouding them.Jacob's presence filled the night, darker and more menacing than the darkness all around us. The temperature seemed to drop several degrees, worsened by the already-cold evening. Even I shivered, and not from the cold-this was a side of my brother I'd never seen before.The side of my brother I don't think I can stomach seeing.Roland broke away from us, stalking between the lines of guards like a predator sizing up prey. His green eyes narrowed as he studied each face, lingering just long enough to make them squirm. Some couldn't meet his gaze, others tried too hard to appear innocent. While others...seemed to be a bit like me."Someone here," Jacob started, his voice cutting through the silence low and lethal, "has b

My fingers tightened around the phone. At least there was a bite of truth in his last sentence. "Then why are you calling me?""Your precious brother Jacob? He's in danger. And so am I." He laughed, cold and hollow. "Funny how things work out, isn't it? You're probably feeling betrayed, lost, sad, and angry."I swallowed and kept my voice low. "What are you fucking talking about, Heather?""Tomorrow, around four in the afternoon. Come alone." His tone turned threatening but also pleading. "And Farrah?" He added with a pause. "If you tell anyone about this call, if you bring anyone with you-your brother dies. Simple as that." "You're joking.""Try me. I've got nothing left to lose, sweetheart." Then the line went dead.I stared at my phone, hands shaking. The warmth from my moment with Roland evaporated immediately, replaced by ice now freezing my veins. What did Alpha Heather mean about Jacob being in danger and him dying?The threat in his voice had been real. Whatever game he was

"But Jacob said Alpha Armani is a he?"Heather laughed. "Oh, just like how your brother changed his name to Alpha Rasmus, Adrianna pretended she's a he. After all, they thought that males Alphas are the only ones that radiate power." He smirked slowly. "A female Alpha can too.""No one has seen my face since I ascended seven years ago after all. That Alpha Armani everyone else sees is but a puppet." She gestured to herself. "Here's the true queen."My mind reeled. Adrianna wasn't some old flame Heather had rekindled things with.She's an Alpha. The head of the pack that wants to destroy my brother.Adrianna leaned forward, her perfectly manicured red nails drumming against the armrest. "Your brother's been quite the thorn in my side, if you'll excuse the pun." Right. Jacob Thorne Sewell. Her laugh echoed off the warehouse walls. "But now? Now I have his precious baby sister right where I want her."The realization hit like a physical blow. I wasn't just a collateral damage in Heather'
