Lucien’s POV"Get the hell off me!"I slammed my back against the shattered pillar as I staggered through the yard, shoving Adrian’s hands away so hard he staggered back two paces into the mud."Lucien? You all, stand down!" Uncle Owen yelled, as he noticed it was me was standing there. He stepped in front of me, holding up a glass vial filled with a glowing blue tonic. "Your blood is boiling hot, Lucien! If you don't swallow this sedative right now. You need the strength, we wouldn't want your heart to burst before midnight!"I let out a laugh, now he wanted me alive to fight off the ambush? It was funny how this wanted me dead a few moments ago. He definitely deserved the best uncle award of the year. "Touch me again, Owen, and I'll tear your arm from your shoulder," I snarled, my teeth grinding together so hard my jaw throbbed. I remember that the high priest had come and told me to do anything that stressed me else the curse marks would never fade, but after Julian took Leah I rush

Leah’s POV Julian stood there for a long time and then the rage drained from his face. He looked down at his blade, then back at me, lowering his hand to his side."You're making the biggest mistake of your life, Leah," Julian said. Before I could answer, Adrian burst inside, his sword drawn and covered in fresh red blood, with two Blackwood guards close behind him."Lucien!" Adrian yelled, his eyes sweeping the room until they landed on the person on the floor.Adrian froze, his eyes widening in shock as he saw me lying over his Alpha King's body, shielding Lucien's chest with my own, holding a silver knife against Julian."Lower your weapons!" Julian commanded, stepping back toward the exit of the tent as the Blackwood guards raised their crossbows. "The rescue is over."Julian looked at me one last time, his eyes filled with a hint of disappointment that made my stomach twist. "I hope he's worth it, Leah," Julian whispered and with a swift motion, Julian disappeared into the woods

Leah’s POVMy breath hitched as my eyes drifted shut, my lower lip trembling slightly as I waited but all I could feel was the feverish heat of his body hovering mere inches from my face, his steady breathing fanning over my skin, drawing me closer like a pull I couldn't resist. Kiss me already dude! I wanted to shout at him.Seconds dragged into minutes as my heart hammered wildly against my check but then, his fingers gently brushed against my jawline, only to slide downward, cupping the back of my neck and pulling my head gently to rest against his bare chest, right over his beating heart as he giggled.I opened my eyes, blinking into his shirt. Gosh, he didn't kiss me. A wave of confusion and embarrassment washed through my cheeks, but as I heard the jagged, uneven thudding of his pulse beneath my ear, the tension in my shoulders melted away. He wrapped his arms securely around my waist, lifting his chin to rest on top of my head. "I was terrified," Lucien’s voice finally broke the

Leah’s POVI climbed into the passenger seat, the door shutting with a thud. Lucien walked around the front of the vehicle, he slid into the driver's seat and turned the key as the engine started.I looked out the side window as we slowly began to drive away. Owen was still standing in the center of the yard and beside him, the Elders were already whispering among themselves, their hands gesturing toward the car. "They won't let this go," I said, watching the gates swing open to let us through."I don't expect them to," Lucien said, his hands steady on the steering wheel as he guided the car through the gatehouse and onto the winding mountain road. "Owen wants the throne. He has wanted it before my father even died. He will use every rule in the pack charter to try to take it if I don't die and that's why he really wants me to send you away, but he forgets one fundamental detail."Huh? What did I have to do with his death? Did he mean the treatment I offered? Should I ask him or let i

Leah's POV.When the food arrived, Lucien picked up the burger with his hands, taking a bite. I watched him closely, waiting for his reaction. He chewed slowly, his eyes widening slightly as the full taste of greasy, delicious human comfort food hit him."This is..." he began, swallowing. "Surprisingly remarkable.""Told you," I laughed, dipping a fry in ketchup. "You can keep your roasted venison. Human diners reign supreme."Lucien chuckled and it made my heart do a soft flip. But as he looked around the sunlit diner watching an elderly couple sharing a pot of coffee two booths over his lighthearted expression softened into something I didn't understand.Hee set his burger down, wiping his hands on a napkin, his gaze fixing entirely on me."You sat here after work?" he asked softly."Yeah," I murmured, tracing a pattern on the tabletop. "At two in the morning my feet would be aching, my mind completely exhausted so I’d sit right here, look out at the streetlights, and just breathe."
