Semua Bab After Two Years Blind, I Ended Up with My Husband's Best Friend: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Thinking back on it, I should have noticed something was wrong long before.For the two years I couldn't see, "Lucian" had grown colder and colder with me.He rarely spoke. There was something like distance between us whenever we were together.I was blind, and no matter how much helplessness I carried, the shame pressing on my chest kept me from ever asking.I was still working out what to do next when the door opened.Behind me came Silas's voice, doing Lucian's."Leona, I'm home."I had to admit, Silas was good at it. No wonder I had never suspected a thing.I lifted my eyes slowly, my blank, unfocused gaze landing on the hard rise and fall of Silas's chest.The best body in the werewolf world, everyone said. They were not wrong.The cold, untouchable god of a man the whole kingdom knew about, always wild, never tamed.Nobody understood why he would let Lucian order him around, why he would keep up a fake performance with me for two whole years, why he would go so far as to form a m

After I had bathed and changed at the Alpha King's estate, I happened to catch Lucian and Silas talking in the corridor.Lucian's face was black, and he roared his question at him."Silas, you're supposed to have all that self-control. Why did I just see you react to Leona?"Silas unfastened one cuff with his free hand, silent for a moment before he answered."Lucian, I'm a wolf. I'm flesh and blood. I've shared a bed with Leona for two years, and I smell that scent of hers every single day. You know how strong that pull is. Of course I react to her."Lucian's breathing went ragged with disbelief, and he shouted, "But Leona is my fated mate, and she's been cold as a stone these two years, so how could you possibly... Silas, you're going to promise me. No matter how much Leona throws herself at you, you do not sleep with her. She's my Luna!"Silas's expression turned cutting."Leona is my fate now. Or have you forgotten?"Lucian said nothing.Silas gave a mocking laugh. "You're in love

Silas went still for a moment, and something like a smile came into those deep eyes of his.Lucian turned to him, unable to believe it, his voice shaking before he could stop it. "Are you telling me the baby... is yours?"Silas admitted it without hesitation. "Yes.""You bastard!"A roar tore out of Lucian's throat, and his fist came flying at Silas's face."You promised me you would never touch her. You could hold out even when they drugged you, so how did you end up putting a baby in Leona! You dared to lie to me!"Silas fell back a few steps, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "Lucian, you know what I'm like. I've never been the kind of man who involves himself in other people's business. If I felt nothing for Leona, I never would have agreed to use a witch's potion to mask my own scent and beg the Moon Goddess to tie her bond to me.""You bastard, I treated you like a brother, and you slept with my wife. You're a disgusting, shameless piece of work!"Silas's

I moved back into my own house.Silas set his work aside and gave himself entirely to taking care of me and the baby.He even signed up for the new-dad classes run by a senior pack doctor and started learning how to look after an infant.Our days turned quiet and warm.Then one day, while Silas was out on an errand, a group of rogues broke into my house, knocked me unconscious, and tied me up in a car.When I woke, my arms and legs were bound to a chair.There was nothing in front of me but black, until Lucian pulled the blindfold away and I found myself looking at his cold, terrible face."Lucian, what do you want?" My chest tightened.Lucian's face was frost, his voice ice. "Leona, you're my Luna. I won't allow you to be with Silas! Drink the witch's memory potion and every painful memory will be gone."I screamed at him, "Lucian, don't you dare. I make my own decisions. What gives you the right to do this to me!""But you're my Luna!"Lucian patted my shoulder as if to comfort me. "

The day came to break the fated bond.Lucian arrived in a wheelchair, pushed by his Beta.Thea was there as well.Two Betas held her by the arms, forced her onto her knees in front of me, and pressed her head down to the floor in apology.Thea's eyes streamed as she choked out the words. "I'm sorry, Leona. I shouldn't have provoked you on purpose. I shouldn't have set you up..."Lucian watched her keep bowing her head to the floor with perfect calm. Not a trace of the old affection or tenderness was left on his face, only cold indifference."Leona, I looked into it. At the Alpha King's birthday banquet, she went after you deliberately. And at the hospital, she threw herself down those stairs. She framed you, and she owes you an apology.""She's apologized. What about you?" I asked it evenly, and I saw the surprise cross his face before I gave a short laugh. "Lucian, did you do nothing wrong?"Lucian went blank for a beat, then smiled bitterly at himself. "You're right. I did wrong too,
