Anger and Despair

Lucien's POVI watched as she walked away,not willing to stop her or hold her back. My pulse raced as I made my way to my office. The sentinels on duty pretended not to be listening or watching and I didn't care.“New Intel's just came in.” Ryan said as I made my way into the office. “Good, is it useful?” I asked, walking over to my desk.“Can I tell you something?” Ryan asked and immediately I had a feeling he wanted to talk about Sloane and what just happened.“No, I'm not in the mood for anything right now and certainly not any discussion that isn't about security.” He nodded in understanding.“So show me this Intel,I need to know what we're dealing with.”“This is it,” he said, turning the laptop to face me. “Our sources said there's a new road which was mapped out with red ribbons,I guess that's their way in and out.” I nodded.“So what measures have been taken to stop or block those roads and hideouts?” I asked. I could feel myself getting irritated partly because of the argume

Business Mixed with Different Thoughts

Lucien's POVInside the car, I decided to attend to more mails before getting to the company but I couldn't. Images of Sloane kept coming back to me. The look of pain on her face,the anger and cold shoulder.I pushed it off and shut my laptop. Ryan turned to look at me,he raised a brow but said nothing. Soon,his phone rang and immediately he got engaged in a conversation. It made me calm and happy. At least he'd stick his butt out of my matter.The car came to a stop and just then,he stopped talking on the phone. We got out and were immediately taken through the exclusive gate.“How many meetings for today?” I asked, already feeling tired. Handling a clan and the affairs of several corporations was taking a toll on me but I loved it and would do all my best to make sure it goes smoothly.As soon as I walked into the boardroom, everyone stood up. “Mr Moretti.” Mr Jack, the MD said,his smile was shaky.I knew they weren't expecting me today but the impromptu meetings had to be held in m

My Word Is Final

Lucien's POVThe moment Sloane stepped out of Mason's car, something inside me snapped.She looked completely oblivious, thanking the bastard with a smile while every guard around us stood frozen.Didn't they know who he'd just been alone with?Didn't she? I walked straight toward her, every muscle in my body tight. "Inside."Her brows knitted together. "What?""I said inside.""I'm not a child, Lucien.""No," I replied coldly. "You're my Luna, and you'll do exactly what I said." She stared at me for a second before scoffing and brushing past me.I followed her all the way to our bedroom, shutting the door firmly behind us. She turned around immediately."What is your problem?""My problem?" I laughed humorlessly. "You accepted a ride from Mason.""So?""So?" I repeated, disbelief filling my voice. "You don't even know who that man is.""He introduced himself as your friend.""My friend?" I clenched my jaw. "He lied." Silence stretched between us. "He isn't my friend and you shouldn't

A Restless Night

Sloane's POVSleep refused to come no matter how tightly I shut my eyes, Lucien's words echoed through my mind.Mason has assaulted women. The sentence replayed over and over until my chest felt heavy.I rolled onto my side and stared at the moonlight spilling across the room. I had smiled at Mason,thanked him and accepted a ride from him without knowing all these things.A shiver crept down my spine. If Lucien hadn't told me,I wondered if I'd have continued to accommodate Mason.I squeezed my eyes shut. "No," I whispered to myself. I wasn't going to think about it anymore.Throwing the blanket aside, I slipped out of bed and quietly left the room.The corridors were almost empty at this hour. Only a few sentinels stood watch, bowing respectfully as I passed. I still wasn't used to that because back in Moonlight Pack, I was invisible.Here,people looked at me as though I mattered. The library door stood open and a soft smile tugged at my lips.At least books never complicated anything

The Elder's Authority

Sloane's POVThe council chamber was already filled when Lucien and I walked in.The moment he entered, every conversation ceased then one by one, the council members rose to their feet.I followed Lucien's pace this time, standing the moment he stepped inside. He spared me a brief glance before taking his seat at the head of the chamber.A small nod,it was subtle, but I understood what it meant.I found myself smiling before quickly composing my expression."Be seated," Lucien ordered. The room settled immediately. Ryan stood beside him, several files neatly stacked in his hands.Today's atmosphere was noticeably different.Heavy,tense almost everyone looked as though they had arrived expecting a confrontation. Lucien rested both hands on the polished table."The first matter concerns Mason Carter." Murmurs swept through the chamber.One elderly man slowly rose from his seat.He had silver hair, sharp blue eyes and carried himself with the confidence of someone who had ruled for deca

Safe Haven

Sloane's POVRyan excused himself the moment we arrived, claiming he had reports to finish before nightfall, leaving Lucien and me walking side by side toward the mansion.Neither of us spoke and I still couldn't stop thinking about what had happened in court.An Alpha had objected and the elders had overruled him. Mason had walked free.The image of his smile made my stomach twist and without realizing it, I wrapped my arms around myself."You've been quiet." Lucien's voice broke through my thoughts. "I've just been thinking.""I know." I glanced at him. "You do?""You've been wearing the same expression since we left the council chamber." I sighed. "I just don't understand.""What?""If you're the Alpha... why couldn't you stop them?" He was silent for a long moment before answering."Being Alpha doesn't mean I make every decision alone.""It looked like they ignored you.""They challenged me.""Isn't that worse?" A small smile tugged at his lips. "Sometimes." We climbed the steps

Learning the Alpha's World

Sloane's POVThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was warmth; the second was that the warmth belonged to Lucien.My eyes flew open, and his arm was still draped around my waist, his breathing steady against the back of my neck. For one embarrassing second, I stayed perfectly still, wondering how I had managed to spend the entire night in his arms again.This is becoming a terrible habit. Very carefully, I tried lifting his arm, but it didn't budge. I tried again, and I let out a frustrated sigh."I know you're awake." His sleepy voice startled me enough that I nearly elbowed him in the ribs."I am not trying to escape," I muttered."No?""No.""Then why are you wrestling with my arm?" He asked as I frowned."Because it's heavy," I replied truthfully. A chuckle rumbled behind me. "I'll take that as a compliment." He said as I turned to glare at him."It wasn't."His eyes finally opened, amusement dancing in them. "You stayed.""I fell asleep.""In my arms.""Purely accidental," I r

An Unwelcome Guest

Lucien's POVThe moment Mason Carter walked into the conference room, every pleasant thought I'd entertained since arriving at the company vanished.His tailored charcoal suit and polished shoes couldn't hide what he truly was.A predator.Ryan stopped arranging the meeting files and looked at me from the corner of his eye."I was hoping the report was wrong," he muttered."So was I."Mason smiled as though we were old friends."Alpha."I acknowledged him with nothing more than a cold stare."My father sends his apologies," Mason continued smoothly. "An urgent council matter prevented him from attending.""I wasn't asking for an explanation."His smile remained firmly in place."I've been authorized to represent Elder Theodore today."Of course he had.Theodore knew exactly what he was doing.Yesterday, I had thrown his son into the dungeon.Today, he had found the only legal way to force me into the same room with him.Ryan leaned closer."We verified it with the Elder's office.""I

Under His Protection

Sloane's POVThe executive floor remained unusually quiet after Mason Carter finally left the building.Even so, I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling he'd left behind.It clung to me like a shadow."I'm fine."Lucien looked at me as though I had just said the most ridiculous thing he'd ever heard."I didn't ask."His calm reply only irritated me further."I can take care of myself.""I never said you couldn't.""Then why are you insisting I stay on this floor?"We stood in the hallway outside the training room while employees discreetly pretended not to notice the conversation happening between their Alpha and Luna.Lucien folded his arms across his chest."Because Mason Carter ignored my warning.""He left.""He ignored me twice.""So?"His silver eyes narrowed."So someone willing to challenge my authority inside my own company isn't someone I'm willing to underestimate."I sighed, rubbing my temples."I don't like feeling like I'm being guarded every second.""You aren't being guard

The Traitor in Their Midst

Lucien's POVWe were about to get into the car when one of the security guards walked up to me with a frown on his face.He looked worried and from his expression, I could tell there was a problem. “What is it?” I asked and immediately he stretched out his hand and gave me a file.“We have successfully gone through the footage and some files relating to the border, and a particular elder's name keeps coming up.” He said.“Whose name?” I asked, turning to look at Ryan, but within me, I already knew who we were dealing with.“I don't think it is right for me to disclose the name here. Please head to the security department and find out what they have.” I nodded at once and got into the car.“So what do you think?” Sloane asked after a minute of silence.I sighed tiredly and looked out of the window. “I think I know who the elder is, and if I am correct, I will have to do an intense investigation and a proper way of bringing him in to face the law," I replied.I heard Ryan snorting, and
