SCENTBOUND Chapter 43 - The Sovereign
LUCIEN POVThe words refused to leave my head.The Black Crown.I had never heard the name before, yet the fear in Rian's eyes when he spoke it unsettled me more than the attack itself.He wasn't afraid for himself, he was afraid for our child.None of us spoke.The storm outside raged until dawn, rain pounding against the windows of the estate while silence filled the dining room.Kael stood by the fireplace, reading through reports from the Task Force.Theo sat beside me with a blanket over his shoulders, absently rubbing his own stomach while Rian stood by the window, staring into the darkness beyond the lake, like he expected something to come out of the rain.Finally Kael tossed the report onto the table. "The bodies are confirmed."Rian looked over. "All twenty?"Kael nodded. "And the brands are the same."Rian closed his eyes. "Damn it..."I looked between them. "Will someone tell me what the Black Crown is or what they want?"No one answered immediately, even Theo looked confu
SCENTBOUND Chapter 42 - The Wound Beneath
LUCIEN POVMorning arrived quietly.After everything that had happened the night before, the silence felt unnatural.I opened my eyes to pale sunlight spilling through the bedroom curtains. Every muscle in my body ached, my lower back throbbed, my stomach felt heavy and the baby shifted lazily beneath my palm as if reminding me that I wasn't alone anymore."You picked a terrible time to start kicking," I murmured.The movement stopped for a moment, then another tiny flutter.Despite everything, I smiled.A soft knock came from outside."Lucien?" Theo called gently. "Are you awake?""Yes."The door opened just enough for Theo to peek inside, he looked exhausted but he still managed a small smile.He stepped inside carrying a tray, toast, fruit and tea. Nothing that would upset my stomach."I made breakfast," he said.I stared at the burnt toast. "You definitely did."Theo laughed and set the tray beside me before lowering himself carefully into the chair.His own belly was way bigger t
SCENTBOUND Chapter 41 - First Attack On The Enigmas Child
I nodded, resting my back on the couch.His hand was warm, he went still when he felt it.A small flutter under his palm.Rian's eyes closed, when he opend them they were wet."Hi," he whispered to my stomach. "I'm your dad and I will always protect you and papa, I love you both, always remember that."I smiled because he always say that anytime the baby kicks, then my nose twistched, my hole body did."Damn,"I said, my voice came out rough. "You're standing too close and your scent is-""What? Bad?""Overwhelming," I turned my face away, my ears were red. "What am I supposed to do."Rian laughed and leaned in just a little more, just enough that his scent wrapped around me completely."Sorry," Rian whispered, but he didn't sound sorry, he pressed a kiss on the top of my belly. "I will stop if you want me to."I didn't answer.Victory lit up Rian's face, he settled properly between my legs on the floor, arms around my belly now, talking nonsense."So, kid, your papa is still going to
SCENTBOUND 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
SCENTBOUND 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
SCENTBOUND 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
SCENTBOUND chapter 4-Breaking point
The sound followed me into sleep and dragged me out of it.Low, guttural, it was the sound an S-CLass Alpha made when control snapped and instinct took over.I sat up in bed, heart hammering, the guest room door was closed but it did not matter. His scent was bleeding through the vents, thick and a
SCENTBOUND Chapter 3 - The Offer
The alley smells of wet trash and ozone. Rain started falling in thin, cold needles, plastering my hair to my forehead, I hate it how Lucien's body blocked the rain from heating me.I hated how safe is made me feel. "Let go". I said keeping my voice flat. His hand did not move, if anything his
SCENTBOUND chapter 2- On the run
I didn't go home. Home was the 12th floor studio with a window that didn't open and a landlord who asked too many questions, if Voss Biotech was already tracking my scent, going there was suicide. Instead I took the underground to the red petal, an illegal club no scanners, cash only if I was
SCENTBOUND Chapter 1- The scent he can't suppress
The Voss gala wasn't meant for people like me. Crystal chandelier bled light over marble floors, men in tailored tuxedos and women in gowns that cost more than my rent, moved like the own the air, I hate it but hate didn't pay the rent and Voss Biotech paid triple for off the- books medic. "stay
