Semua Bab Alpha Lucian Obsession: Bab 121 - Bab 130

ARIA“Listen, He just needs air. Space. I refuse to believe he will abandon his people.”“He gave you the pack.”I blinked at that. Slowly. No matter how many times it was said, it still didn’t feel real. “He didn’t even say goodbye,” I murmured, and that truth settled bitterly in my throat. “Not properly, anyway.”Tobias sighed. “He didn’t look like he could. You saw the look in his eyes before he left.”Yeah. I had. A familiar warmth brushed against my arm. Maren was suddenly at my side, trying to smile. “The council’s waiting. They want to talk land, territory, and representation. It’s a lot.”When did I forget she was part of Lucian's court? “Of course it is.” I gave a nod, smoothing the edge of my coat. “Let’s not keep them.” As we walked, the noise of chatter and shifting papers filled the air. I caught a glimpse of Aaron standing near the long table, arms crossed. He was the pack doctor, so his presence here wasn't entirely useless. His eyes met mine briefly, no judgment there.

ROWAN“Alpha!” Cade shouted the second he saw me barreling through the open gates of the Frostbite pack.My fur dissolved as I shifted into my human form, completely bare, and breathing hard. Cade kept his eyes on my face and I didn’t bother covering myself. With the wolves, modesty had long died with the battles we fought. Imagine being in a field of rogues… then trying to cover up? That would be ridiculous.I gave him a tired smile. “Cade. How are you?”He ran up to me, eyes wide with disbelief. “I’m good. But if you’re asking about the pack… it hasn’t been the same since you left.”I nodded slowly, dragging my fingers through my tangled, sweat-drenched hair. The journey hadn't been easy. “I figured. I didn’t come back empty-handed, though.”Cade’s eyes dropped to my chest. “You’re… you’re marked. You didn’t have that before.”I glanced down at the claw marks running across my collarbone. Red. Deep and still healing. All from that idiot called Killan. “I earned that in a battle for

KILLIAN “Your father is dead.” That was the first message Fin gave to me.I blinked. “That’s not fucking possible…”My father had over three hundred Gammas guarding the Alpha Room. How could he be dead?That easily too?“I speak the truth, Alpha. And nothing but the truth.”We were halfway to the main gates when Fin had ridden out to meet me. Dust still clung to his shoulders, and his horse looked half-dead. But Fin… Fin looked like a man that wasn't telling me everything. I stared at him for a long time.“You sure you’re not messing with me?”“I wouldn’t dare,” he said, and then hesitated.That fucking old man… a grin threatened to tug at the corners of my mouth, but I killed it fast. Because if it was true… if the old bastard was finally dead, then that was the beginning of my reign at the Stormwood pack.Finally. I cleared my throat and stepped closer. “Tell me exactly how it happened.”“I don’t know the full story yet, only that he was found in the inner chamber… body cold with h

LUCIANThe forest floor was slick with last night’s rain.I adjusted the thin coat around my shoulders, and raised my eyes to the darkening clouds. I knew it was a bad time to move through the forest but, it was important. I wasn’t far from Bloodfang, not geographically, but emotionally…It felt like a lifetime away.There was no way I didn't miss my people. However, I didn’t belong there. Not with the chaos Aria was about to face. Maybe I should’ve been calm. I should’ve been prepared. I should’ve been…Suddenly a loud screech alerted me. There it was. The messenger hawk dove from the sky and landed hard on my left finger. I tapped the beast for a good job, before taking the scroll tied to its leg.Kael. I stared at the name. Shadowsong Pack. I didn’t even need to open it. I already knew what this was about.Still, I unrolled the parchment.“Lucian,I am en route to the Bloodfang lands. Heard your girl is claiming your pack. Thought it was time I met the new Luna. I’ll arrive within

KAELWhen I pulled back, I breathed, “Thank you.”She gave a small smile. “Don’t thank me yet. Tomorrow might be hell.”I let out a dry chuckle and brushed my thumb against her cheek. “That’s why I love you. You never lie to me.” She laughed softly and leaned her head on my shoulder.We sat there like that for a long time, wrapped in the quiet, wrapped in each other. And while my heart still ached… for Aria, for what was lost, and for the boy I used to be.I felt something I hadn’t felt in years. Tomorrow, I’d face Lucian. But tonight, I’d hold Denera._____________#Lucian’s POVI stood at the edge of the rocky slope, watching and waiting for them to arrive. The wind changed just before they arrived. I glanced to my left and right. That was right. No one tailed me. Not even Tobias.I told him to go back because I could only entrust Aria to him, Maren, Aaron and that maid… Clara, I think. It was just me. That’s how I wanted Kael to see me. If I wanted to kill him, I would have taken w
