Lucian's POV "Axel, you will pay for this badly in ways you cannot comprehend." My gaze sharpened in a dark way as a sinister thought ran through my head. It seemed like Axel took every span and width of her heart, although he had already broken her into countless pieces. I lowered my head and looked at Calla's sleeping face. I felt pity for her. "After all he had done to you, why do you still hold on, eh?" I caressed her cheek with my thumb. I even began to wonder what I should do to make her forget her past and open up to me. All those thoughts attacked me from every direction and without mercy. I looked outside the window of the carriage, and all I saw was darkness. Yes, darkness. That was the state of my heart; it was all dark and gloomy. I only hoped that one day light will come and clear the darkness away. The carriage wound up into the mansion's wide courtyard and creaked to a full stop in front of the building. Calla was still asleep, so I took it upo

Calla's POV As I entered my room, I immediately slammed the door shut and leaned on it, slid on my bum to the ground, panting heavily.My cheeks still felt hot and flushed from the embarrassment I encountered back at Lucian's room.How did I ever get there? That wasn't the case. The prime question was what happened yesterday that resulted to me being taken to Lucian's room.Lucian was trying to say something, but my stubbornness had a better of me that I did not care to listen.But I heard something, he said I told him not to leave me. Me? That's sounds ridiculous, how would I possibly do that?As I got hold of myself, I stood up from where I sat and headed straight for the bathroom for a proper morning. I didn't need a maid to tell me that, well my armpits did.And also I was to join Lucian for breakfast but the little devil on my shoulder tried luring me to defy his order as usual. I had that severe want to make him angry. Since the maids weren't there to do the normal bath thing

Lucian's POVGasps of surprise sounded all across the meeting room. The words of the Alpha of Crismon Lake Pack came forth loud and clear, that I could not ignore either way.Marcus was the first to speak, following the moment Alpha George had spoken."What is this nonsense you speak?" Marcus's anger was clear."Supreme Beta, what I speak of is great urgency and seek instant brainstorming and intervention." Alpha George replied calmly.At my position at the head, my head already began to spin because of thoughts that created a typhoon. Even hearing Alpha George's old English intonation and speech made me sick and irritated."Why would you even say it? Can't you seek a better day and setting to divulge this critical information?" Marcus's eyes kept falling on me, like he was waiting to have a say.I remained silent and watched.Alpha George did his own part of answering the question thrown at him. "I would rather it be said here and now. It is true even though I may sound crazy.""Obvio

Calla's POVShards of glass and pieces of broken furniture scattered all around the room."What in the world is going on in here?" Stephanie exclaimed, flinging the door of the study ajar.My eyes landed on a large and majestic wolf which was undoubtedly Lucian, his fur was so beautiful that I was lost for a moment. White and silky, only that it was tainted with sweat and blood but it look overwhelmimg.Marcus panted like a thirsty dog, bruises and claws marks filled him body, as well as Lucian. The wounds on Lucian make my heart prick painfully.Even with our presence, the two large beasts fought with sheer earth-shattering energy, carefree of their environment. As they fought, wounds continued to multiply on their bodies every time a blow was exchanged.I had enough of it and I could no longer watch, so I moved to stop the fight myself.Stephanie promptly pulled me back. "Are you out of your mind? Do you want to die?""Leave me alone. I have to stop them." I pulled my arm away. My ey

Calla's POVI woke up to the sound of soft snores and my eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light in the room. It was later in the night, and I noticed Lucian sleeping on the sofa in an uncomfortable position. He must have stayed here all night to make sure I was safe.I couldn't help but feel grateful for him. He listened to me as I poured out my heart about the Alpha and promised to protect me. I remembered feeling so comforted by his words and the warmth of his hand on mine. He stayed with me until I fell asleep, and now he was sleeping here, in my room.Looking at him now, I could see the exhaustion etched on his face, but I was touched by his dedication to me. I didn't think anyone had ever cared for me as much as Lucian did despite my hard-back. I felt a warmth in my heart at the thought of him.I walked over to the sofa where Lucian was sleeping and noticed that he was in an uncomfortable position. I couldn't let him continue sleeping like that. "Lucian," I said softly, nudging hi
