Chapter 31 - Bond Pulls

when I got home I was so sure I hated him and I will take him to the council but each time I went to Kael's house to get Rian I couldn't bring myself to go inside.After some days Kael and Theo came by and I told them about the agreement that I had with the council. "What, are you crazy?" Theo said."Lucien are you sure you don't love him anymore and want to hurt him?" Kael asked."I don't know." I replied."I will never allow you to hurt Rian," Theo said. "Do you know how he has been after what happened? I know what he did was wrong and he hasn't been able to forgive himself and you are now bonded mate.""Can you please be quiet," I said. "Do you know how hard this is for me to accept, I'm an S-Class Alpha.""Calm down Lucien," Kael said. "We came here because we didn't want Rian going out for now, he has been miserable so please speak to him and clear this up."I didn't say anything and they left.My house was empty and too quiet, I could't focus, the mark throbbed every time I thi

Chapter 32 - Lies We Tell To Keep Him

LUCIEN POV"Shit." I whisperedThe memories hit me like a truck. Heat, me on top of him begging, calling his name like I didn't spend the last month pretending he didn't exist.Ten minutes later I heard voices downstairs, I knew it was Theo and Kael.I forced myself out of bed and into the shower, the water was scalding but it didn't wash away the shame and Rian's scent off my skin.When I came down, Theo was leaning on the counter watching Rian cook."Morning," Theo said slowly, his eyes were all over me."Morning Theo."I grabbed coffee, black, no sugar, I went to where Kael was seated and I sat beside him."Buddy, I won't lie," Kael said. " This guy got you so damn good.""What do you mean?" I asked with a frown"Look at you, I would never believe that you will submit to someone," Kael said, with a smirk on his face."Did you come to my house this morning to tease me?""No, but it's kinda funny, expecially with what Theo told me, but I will wait to Rian to tell you himself .""He

Chapter 33 - Choice Again

His hands were shaking. "Submit and bear." The word dropped then silence. My scent went ice-cold, that was Alpha shock and disbelief. "You're telling me..." I swallowed. "You can get me pregnant but I can't?" "Yes," he whispered. "And you let me-" My voice broke. "Four months, Rian. Four months I have been taking you apart, and you-" "I love you!" he snapped. "You think I wanted this? you think I like feeling like my skin's on backwards every time we had sex? I did it because I didn't want to lose you." S-Class Alphas, we pride ourselves on protecting our lovers and he just told me that I had been hurting him for months. "Why didn't you tell me?" my voice was hoarse. He laughed wet and ugly. "Lucien you would never have accepted it, that's why I did what I could." "So wait, all this was your plan? You made me find you on purpose-" Realization hit me mid-sentence. "What business do you have with the council?" I asked. He dragged a hand through his hair. "Lucien look-" I step

Chapter 34 - Partial bond

I stepped forward."Rian!" Kael said.I held up a hand without looking back, Varek's smile widened."That's it," he said. "Come here, Enigma."My pheromones were rising, I could feel them, hot and wild under my skin, not measured.They wanted out, they wanted to tear Varek apart."Rian." Lucien said. I stopped three feet from them. Varek's eyes gleamed."On your knees," he said.I didn't move.Varek's smile faded."On your knees," he said again, with fear in his voice.Lucien's eyes met mine."Don't," he mouthed.I felt it then, the bond between us, faint and frayed but still there.I couldn't let him die but I couldn't let him watch me break either, so I did the only thing I could think of."Get out," I screamed, Theo took Eli and rushed out.I let go of my pheromones, it hit the room like a wave.Varek staggered back, caught off guard, the knife slipped. Kael moved instantly, grabbing Lucien and dragged him back.Lucien coughed, hand on his throat.Varek recovered fast, snarling."

Chaper 35 - Feral

KAEL POV He was strapped to the bed, chest bare, restraints cutting into his wrist, his skin was slick with sweat, his eyes were wild. He saw me and lunged against the restraints. "Kael," he snarled. It wasn't his voice, it was rougher and deeper. Rian moved to the control panel, scanning it. "They injected him with something," Rian said quietly. "Suppressant reversal compound." Theo's eyes were locked on me. "Kael." he said again. This time it sounded like him but not complete. Rian looked at me. "If you reease him like this,"Rian said. "he'll hurt you." I walked to the bed, reached for the restraint on his left wrist. Lucien grabbed my arm. "Don't," I shook him off. "Theo," I said. Theo stilled, eyes focused on mine. "Kael," he said. This time it was his voice and he was calm. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Yeah," I said quietly. "It's me." Theo's chest heaved. "They're in my head," Theo said. "I can hear them, all of them." I nodded. "I know,"

Chapter 36 - Pregnancy and Rut

The chopper touched down on the roof of my house and I swear my knees almost gave out the second the rotors stopped.Kael carried Theo out of the chopper, he hadn't let go of his hand the entire flight."Get him inside," Dr. Selene said, the moment we hit the roof. "Now."We moved.My living room turned into a makeshift clinic in 30 seconds, monitors, bags, that sharp hospital smell. Dr. Selene was already cutting Theo's sleeve to get an IV, while Kael paced like a caged animal."Talk to me," Kael said. His voice was low but I heard the panic under it. "What did they do to him?""He's breathing," Dr. Selene said without looking up. "His vitals are stable but I need to check the compound levels."Rian's jaw ticked. "The suppressant reversal.""Yeah," Dr. Selene said. "That shit is nasty, it forces the body to burn through suppressants and floods the system with raw hormones, for an Omega, especially one who's-"She stopped, looked up then looked directly at Theo's stomach.The room we

Chater 37 - Acceptance

Our pheromones tangled in the air, mine sharp and steady, his hot and wild.It wrapped around us and we were still kissing until I couldn't tell where I ended."Rian," I gasped.He pulled back, breathing hard. "Should I stop."He looked at me, sweaty, desperate and eyes begging me, and I thought about Eli. About partial bonds tearing people apart, about how tired I was of running from this."I'm not in the mood to fight it anymore," I said. "I've accepted it."Rian blinked. "Accepted what?""The bond and all that comes with you," I said, flat and honest.Rian expression cracked, relief, something softer and a smirk that says. I know, you already accepted a long time ago.He leaned in and pressed his forehead to mine."Then...""Mark me," I said. "Again, this time I'm aware of it."Rian nodded.His teeth found the spot on my neck, right where my scent gland was, he bit down, not to hurt but to claim.Warmth flooded through me, the bond snapped into place, faint and frayed.I cried out

Chapter 38 - The Heartbeat

"I'm going alone." I met his eyes. "Please."For a long moment he just stared at me, that muscle in his jaw was jumping, when Rian was angry or scared, he got very quiet."Fine," he said finally, "R.L. Sanctum hospital, I want you to go there."I frowned. "Why R.L?""They are the best private care in the city.""Fine."Rian's hands came up to frame my face, his thumb brushed under my eyes."You look terrible, love," he whispered."Don't say that.""I'm joking, you are the cutest Alpha I have ever met." he said.I frowned, he kissed my forehead then my temple then the spot behind my ear, his teeth grazed me and I shivered."Go," he said against my skin. "Before I change my mind and tie you to the bed."I left before he could see how much I liked that idea.The car ride was hell.Every pothole made my stomach roll, every billboard smell made me gag, by the time I pulled into R.L sanctum's parking garage, I was sweating and pale.Why would someone name a hospital R.L sanctum?The hospita

Chapter 39 - The Head and The Ring

"Rian," I said. "Don't scare the doctor."He looked at me then the rage bled out of him, leaving only fear."Yes," he whispered.It was only when we were leaving that I noticed it.How the nurses stepped aside, how the security guards bowed their heads. Everyone in R.L. Sanctum looked at Rian like he owned the place.But I was too tired to ask.In the car, Rian's hand never left my stomach."What should we name our baby," he asked. "And I want twins?"I huffed a laugh despite everything. "Should we go back and ask the doctor to give us twins?"Rian smiled, small and real. "No, but I'm not opposed to trying for them but we can go home and make it two.""You are crazy," I said with a smile.The car stopped at a red light."Why were you following me?" I asked.Rian opened his mouth-Six black SUVs cut us off."Out of the vehicle, hands up. You are under arrest by order of the council."Task Force.Rian didn't even look surprised."Rian, run," I whispered. "Please."He turned to me, squee

Chapter 40 - The Truth That Hurts

"Don't," I backed away. "You're the head, you lied to me, you let me think you were just- just some agent, you let me think-" "I know," Rian said, he looked wrecked. "I know." "Did you plan it?" the question tore out of me. "The attacks? The dangers? Did you put yourself in danger just to keep me close." Rian flinched. "Some of it," he admitted, voice raw. "I made choices, bad ones, to keep you close and also to keep you safe." "And the rest?" "The rest was Ilyana," Rian said. "I tried to tell you many times but I couldn't tell you, I was scared of you hating me for taking your place as the head and also me being a top, but if you want the ring back I will return it, it has always been yours but please don't leave me." I shook my head, tears were burning. "You idiot, do you even remember what we went through, we almost died because of your stupid game, do you think I'm angry because my father gave you the ring and made you the head of the council and Voss Biotech? Damn
