“Lucan?” I gasped, staring at him and trying to ignore the obvious accusation he had laid out. “How are you doing?” I let my gaze sweep through him, at the black and white striped shirt he wore and loose pants.His eyes were a stormy green, fluttering between me and his brother, but I ignored it, letting my gaze drift lower to his hands. They were now tightened to a fist, twitching every now and then by his side.My gaze returned back to his face, but he was doing a good job ignoring me, choosing instead to stare daggers at his brother. “I asked you a question, Ridan!” Lucan barked, baring his teeth, and my hands reached for him, wanting to comfort him, but he evaded my touch, and I hated the feeling of worthlessness that clawed my throat at his rejection. “What could you possibly be doing with my mate?” His voice had taken on a certain timbre, a deathly tone to it, and I shivered despite myself.“Lucan,” I tried this smile, my voice softer. “I think you are just jumping to conclusio

“Hi?” I scoffed at the choice of words, one brow lifting.‘Hi’ was for friends you saw every day and talked with. Hi was for someone you have actually established a relationship with, and it was going well. Not for mates you pretended didn’t exist.I tucked my arms together, trying to control the wave of anger that was fast building up inside me. “What do you want?” My tone came out harsher than I intended, so much so that my companions whipped their heads to look at me, but they soon turned back to the TV and tried to pretend like they weren’t listening.If it were before, I would have worried about their perception of us, but right now, they could think whatever they wanted. I have ceased caring; besides, it was no rumor that Lucan hated me anyways.“Raya?” Lucan tried again, as if he knew what he had done wrong. His hands raked through his hair, all tousled and scattered from the motion. Yet, I refused to look at his face, refused to stare at anything that would make my resolve

“Okay…” I drawled as I continued staring at the empty space in front of me.That was weird, more than weird. This was no longer just avoidant. Something was terribly wrong with my mate, and he was sinking further into that abyss that threatened to claim him.I hurried after him, wanting to reach out to him, but he was already gone. His scent was faint enough that it was useless following his trail. Yet I searched, unwilling to give up on him, but it was like the earth had swallowed him whole, and my search was fruitless.That day, I broke yet another resolve in my heart and turned toward his room. My fingers curled around the doorknob, and I opened it, greeted by complete darkness. For a moment, I simply stood there, letting my eyes adjust and strangely comforted by his scent that wrapped around me like a second skin.I stepped inside and reached for the switch, my eyes adjusting as light flooded the room. Nothing had changed since the last time I had been here. His sheets were still

Raya’s POVI was numb as I walked down the path that led to the packhouse. If it were possible, I would have avoided it for as long as I could, but it was time to face reality.My fingers tightened on the doorknob, and I took a deep breath, preparing myself before I twisted it and pushed it open.I was greeted by a living area filled with people wearing gloomy faces, their eyes teary as they stared at me.I felt hands on me, patting my shoulders until one whispered to me. “We are sorry, Luna; the alpha is dead.” I barely acknowledged the words with a nod as I continued on my path, eager to reacquaint myself with my bed and just put an end to this, but they followed me, their voices as incessant as the pecking of birds.“He died of an overdose. We are sorry.”Why would they even be sorry? It wasn’t their fault. Apparently, Lucan had been taking a small quantity of the lethal drug every day, but he decided that today was going to be the last day and decided to just go in one swoop.Yet

I whipped my head to my savior, and indeed he looked every part of one. He was dabbed in a black shirt too big for his size and shorts that were swallowed by the shirt, but a black cap hid his hair and part of his face.“Let her go.” He repeated, the voice a low rumble, but I could feel his wolf in it.“Why would I listen to you?” My captor’s hold tightened on me so much that his claw dug into my skin, and I whined as pain flared up in the spot.In the blink of an eye, my savior was behind the man that was holding me, and I caught a glimpse of the knife in his hand as he pressed it to his neck.“One wrong move and this will be the end of your pathetic life.” He warned, a cold edge in his voice, and goosebumps spread on my arms with the danger hidden in its depth.However, my captor was neither moved nor intimidated; instead, he barked out in laughter, his shoulders shaking. “I have no care for my life, wolf; you should be worried about yours.”“Wrong answer.” My savior whispered, and
