Semua Bab Alpha Lucian Obsession: Bab 81 - Bab 90

ARIA“No. No way. You’re coming with me.” As expected. She was a headache. “I’ll catch up,” I said quickly. “I just need to take a little detour. I want to check something out. The watchtower.” “The what?” I pointed, just as the pale woman vanished into the trees. “Over there. I need to see it.” “Aria, no. I’m not leaving you alone. You need to come in with me.” “I can’t,” I said quietly. “It’s something I have to do.”Lucian is waiting for me, I added under my breath so she wouldn’t hear. Maren was already annoyed. “You are my punishment, Aria.” Of course. That sounded about right. I should probably ease her irritation. “How many patrol guards are on the border tonight?” She shot me a look. “Three in the south, four up north. One roaming.” “Perfect.” Maren narrowed her eyes. “You’ve been counting?” “Exactly,” I said. “So you see? I’ll be fine. And if anything happens… I’ll take responsibility.” Her brow arched suspiciously. “Do you even know what responsibilit

ARIABut not before I caught the flicker of sadness in his eyes. “Thank you,” he said quietly. “I needed that.” I nodded, feeling strangely awkward. Slowly, I moved toward my discarded clothes. If anyone asked whether I felt used—no, I didn’t. I felt… satisfied, even. Don’t get me wrong, I was sticky, messy, and somehow hornier than before—but Lucian… my heart ached for him. What was going through his mind?I kept my distance, sensing the weight of his Alpha energy. He was quiet for a long time, just standing there, arms folded over his chest, eyes fixed on something in the distance. The wind tugged at his shirt, ruffling it gently, but he didn’t move. He looked so still… too still. Like if I touched him, he might crack. I pulled my gown over my head and walked toward him, slow and quiet. “Lucian,” I called softly.His jaw was tight. I settled my bare butt onto a flat rock beside him, pulling my knees to my chest and watching him from the corner of my eye.He was worried. Ab

LUCIAN I said it quietly, my thumb grazing her cheek a second longer than it should have. “I will never share you.”Her lips parted slightly, confused. “What?”“Not with Killian. Not with Rowan. And definitely not with Darius.”“Lucian…” she breathed, uncertain.I didn’t back down. “You’re my mate,” I said with quiet finality. “Chosen or not by the moon goddess, the bond chose us. And I don’t care what it looks like from your end—I feel it. My wolf feels it. And I’ll fight whoever I have to, just to keep you close.”She shook her head slowly, like she was trying to piece it all together. “You talk like I’m something to own. Like I don’t get a say.”My jaw tightened. “You do. You always have a say. But don’t expect me to sit back while three other males circle around what I love.”She licked her lips, and I hated the way doubt crept into her eyes for fear of this… whatever this was between us. It was something that should never happen and something neither of us really knew how to han

ARIAFrom the corner of my eye, I could see the lady just standing there, watching with venom simmering in her gaze. If only I knew how to make her move… She’d tear this idiot to shreds.“You called me a whore,” I said.“Because you are one,” he spat. “Did you think I came here just to play house? Do you even understand why we all agreed to stay in this fucking pack?” He asked like I had the answer to why he was even born in the first place.I licked my bloody lips, tasting the sharp tang of metal. “Well, for starters, you came to escape. You were looking for a release from the suffocating air in your own pack. You used me as your excuse. And maybe, yeah, I still want to use you. But I won’t let myself be used. Not anymore. Above all, you’re a daddy’s boy, Killian. And I don’t fuck daddy’s boys.”Wrong move. I didn't see it coming. The toe of his shoe caught my ribs and I doubled over, gasping. I sucked in my lower lips, abusing the shit out of it as I clutched my side.I didn’t even

ARIAHe hid it well, but it was there—thrumming just beneath the surface. “Alright,” he said at last. “I won’t.”I swallowed hard. He said he wouldn't. The silence between us stretched for so long, I started to wonder if he was even still breathing. I glanced at him. His left eye twitched. Was that anger I sense? Shit. I looked away, focusing on the IV needle in my arm.“No matter how much kindness you’re showing me now, I’ll never accept you, Rowan Frostbite.” I wasn't going to formally reject him either. I was going to wait until they were complete. That was the rule. “You let Darius humiliate me. You stood there and watched it happen. You didn’t defend me. And then, you prepared to demote me. Your mate. Your own mate.” My voice cracked. “I can’t be with a man who doesn’t want me for who I am.”Rowan exhaled slowly, his eyes locked on some distant spot on the wall. He looked… tired. Not physically, but in that soul deep kind of way. “I ran for days to get here,” he murmured. “I push
