Lucien groaned with each step that he took. The part of his arm that Carla attacked hurt him like a bitch and he wished he could stay to catch his breath but that would only mean that he’d be giving room for Xavier to catch up. So, regardless of the pain, he kept moving. A permanent frown was etched into his face because it seemed that the deeper he went, the more the silver root trees warped his sense of direction. And even though a part of him told him that he was going on the right path, an external force seemed to be telling him that he was doing something wrong. “Intelligent fuckers.” He mumbled underneath his breath as he realized that it seemed the further he went, the more disturbances he encountered, and that could only mean that he was threading on the right path. He pressed forward, ignoring the disturbances just like he had been taught while he was a tracker. He had his eyes ingrained on a certain tree in the distance where two roads interconnected, his chest beating w

Something cold settled in his chest and he went deadly quiet. No word came out of his mouth, his gaze remained fixated on the picture. His mother’s safety kept drifting away slowly and the thought of what could happen to her made goosebumps appear on his skin. Then, his jaw ticked and he snapped back to reality. “Let me have it.” He stretched his hand out to Finn who stared at him weirdly. “Lucien. What are you going to do about this? Whoever is behind this is obviously threatening you with the well-being of your mother, I think—” Lucien cut him off. “I’ll report everything first thing tomorrow morning. I still have the threat from the payment of the hospital bill, I’m not taking it lightly too.” Finn looked like he still had something to say, but with one look at Lucien’s frightening resolve, he shut it. “I really hope you get this sorted out soon.” Was all he could say. Lucien barely nodded, just walked over to his bed with his evidence in a file that he put on the headboard.

Adric stared at both of them for a while, face ashen with shock before she moved back. She said nothing and just left and that was worse than anything she could have decided to say at that moment. They were both quiet in the water for a while and even though neither of them said nothing at first, the fact was right there. Adric was very close to Xavier’s father, and if his father heard that he was caught in an intimate position with Lucien, things could get very bad, worse than the Carla situation even. At that thought, Xavier pushed Lucien away and even though his head was throbbing badly, he ran out of the water. He chased after Adric who hadn’t walked so far from the entrance luckily. “Principal.” He called out and Adric swiveled on the spot. “Oh, Xavier. You’re done with taking a dip in the water?” She asked, staring at his still wet body. “Whatever you saw back there isn’t what you think it is.” He grounded. “In a nutshell, you don’t have to report it to my father.”

“Maren!” Lucien yelled, running as he jolted back to reality. Maren swiveled around on the spot, “Lucien.” He said stoically. “No, you can’t take tomorrow off.” “I’m not asking for a day off training. I have a question to ask you.” Lucien said, shifting on his leg. “Shoot.” “What happened forty years ago?” He asked and he watched as confusion grew on Maren’s face. “With the Alpha picking, I mean. Was there a bonded pair?” He watched as Maren’s face shifted, going through different stages of emotions. Lucien waited for a response but he got one for a whole one minute because Maren was frozen. “A bonded pair did happen, but I can’t remember how it played out.” Maren responded, “All I know is that the academy can’t house more than one Alpha. It’s either that, or there’s none.” He moved back, “Focus on this one instead of trying to uncover the one that happened years ago. It changes nothing about what’s happening now.” He said with a ticked jaw and walked away. “Something is wron

Finn was at his side immediately and the moment his hand made contact with Lucien’s skin, he flinched and moved away from his as though the touch burnt. Technically, there’s nothing Finn can do as Lucien is an omega and he is a Beta. “We need you to get you to the nurse now. This is very strange.” Finn said, standing to his full height with worry lining his face. “No.” Lucien grunted, shaking his head. He knew that he needed medical attention but even with the amount of pain wracking through him, he understood that he couldn’t allow that happen. “But you need it. You need to get checked.” Another bout of pain wracked through him and he let out a very shaky breath.Omega heat is unrare in Dravenmoor and his definitely should have been covered up with the kind of stress and rigorous training he had gone through in the past few days. And because of that, he was very certain that the nurse would take it as a special case, and he wasn’t ready for any diagnosis that would make him unf
