All Chapters of Seeking the Love of an Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

I woke up engulfed in a cloud of rum and leather; it saturated the air entirely, sinking its claws into everything around it, and I was no exception.My nose flared as I inhaled, his scent sinking into my pores, and my eyes fluttered, my brain turning into mush almost instantly.A little smile tugged at my lips as I shifted on the bed, turning to face my mate. It was the first time I would wake up to him beside me, and it was an image I wanted ingrained forever in my head.He was shirtless, surprisingly so, considering how he had been behaving like a conservative virgin these few days. His hair was tousled from sleep, some strands covering his eyes, yet the scowl etched in his brows was still very evident.Lucan shifted, angling his body towards me, and I swallowed hard. My gaze drifted to his perfectly sculpted torso that seemed to need more meat on it, the rise and fall of his chest as he took his breath.Enchanting couldn’t even capture all I witnessed, and my heart thundered even

I was almost beating myself up after the words left my lips, knowing I had broken one of his unsaid rules, but still I waited with bated breath, ready for his silence or even his snore at this time. Lucan had become the most unpredictable part of my life, and I had learned to brace for anything.But then he spoke, shattering everything I thought I knew about him.“It is what my life has become,” he said quietly. My head snapped toward him at the sound, only it was still dark, and even the ultra vision could only do so much. “Zoe came with light, making sense of the life I had lived and adding color to it, but then she left, taking with her everything.”The room fell into a heavy silence, thick with his grief, and my heart lurched. My fingers itched beside me, wishing to hold him and comfort him in whatever way I could.But I had begun to understand Lucan, and that was the fastest way to make him bolt. So, I force my body to remain still, listening to his words.Only nothing was forth

I have never really given thought to what it would feel like kissing Lucan. I was too deep in my grief to let such thoughts in my brain, and he was too cold to entertain such.I wished I did.Or maybe it was better I didn't. Because there was no way I could have fathomed this, as it was way different from what I could have expected.Lucan might have been ice on the outside, but his kisses were anything but. They burned hotter than anything I was prepared for, the flame igniting the more we spent tangled with each other.His lips on mine were paradise, and they moved against mine firmly, taking all he couldn’t take.My hands flew to his neck to steady myself, and my body shivered as delicious tingles swept through me at the contact.Lucan’s lips moved against mine like a man on a mission, and right now all he did was take and take until I was left aching.His lips were incredibly soft and inviting, melding against mine in ways that only made me fall even deeper for him.He hesitated fo

I was too deep in my shock to notice how Lucan had turned rigid beside me. His breath had even ceased, frozen as the intruder entered deeper into the sacred grounds.At first, I couldn’t understand why, and confusion lined my brows; however, the figure lifted his head, removing the hoodie he had been wearing, and the resemblance hit me like a blow.This was no ordinary intruder; he looked like the one fated for me.My breath caught in my throat as realization swept over me and, judging by the ripple through the hall, the entire pack.Slowly, the excited hum spread in the air, their faces lightening as they smiled, and they all collectively released a breath, relaxing in their seats.Yet there was a guarded silence, dare I say a wave of anger emitting from the man near me, and I turned to my mate, suddenly noticing it.“Lucan?” I called, looking at him with squinted eyes, but he paid me no mind, his gaze fixed on his twin. So I let my own drift to the man that wore a similar face to my

I jerked awake from the bed, the events of last night flashing in my head in scattered clips, and I made no attempt to piece them together.A lot had happened the day before, but all that was on my mind was my mate. My earlier resolve of waiting for him to come to me had dissolved into thin air because, truth be told, it could take a decade, or even a century, before such a thing would ever happen.And the thought of waiting till then was unbearable.I needed to reach Lucan to know how he was faring. He looked like he had seen a ghost from his past; maybe he had truly seen it, but I wanted to be near him while he recovered.My body was on autopilot as I stood up from the bed and pulled a robe over my body, fastening it. I was walking towards the door when a scent wafted inside my room, stopping me from going further.The scent was so intertwined with my mate that it confused me yet so distinct that it unsettled me. I felt no pull towards it, no urge to be near the person, yet my curio
