last update publish date: 2026-01-25 00:00:25

I woke up feeling refreshed, that same energy from when I came in from Coralridge’s Bonding Ceremony.

Except the problem was, I wasn’t waking up in my bed, next to my mate.

I was in my office, with the door locked and a guard posted outside, not letting anyone in.

I heard Vanessa try and get past the guard at some point in the middle of the night. He didn’t let her pass. That guy needs a promotion AND a raise.

Outside the world still slept, all was quiet. The skies

  • The Dual Claim   Chapter 187 Lucien

    “Lucien, please try to understand,” Bina pleaded for the umpteenth time in the last couple of days.I glared at her as I closed the refrigerator and stomped past her on my way out to the balcony. After the scene in the shower, I hadn’t said more than two words to her, or listened to her excuses as to why she didn’t tell me about her vision.Her bags were packed and waiting near the front door since yesterday when I told her to get the fuck out. Yet, she was still here.I wasn’t ready and she didn’t deserve my attention. Like a pup wanting attention, she followed on my heels.I whirled on her. Her eyes held a tinge of fear, and this time I didn’t care. If anything, that’s what I wanted to see. “Don’t you get it? I don’t care what you have to say. You had a life changing vision about me. Me! And you decided to keep it to yourself for weeks. Not a fucking day or two. Weeks, dammit.”

    “I think we can repurpose the old library and the high school,” Nakoa said, looking at the enlarged map of Coralridge’s town center. “The high school will be the easiest to renovate into studio rooms with the cafeteria for meals.”I grimaced, but he was right. We needed something that we could fix sooner than yesterday.We were interrupted by the desk phone. I recognized Sid’s number and picked up on the second ring, also putting him on speakerphone in the process.“Hey Sid, you’re on speaker with Nakoa, Seith, and Bear.”“Hey,” he replied. “I think we have a line on our Council spy.”I automatically tensed, mentally crossing my fingers that it wasn’t someone from the Pack. “Who is it?”

    I cracked my eyes open and saw the earliest glimpse of daylight around the edge of the curtains. Up until the last couple of weeks, it had been my favorite time of the day…waking the sleepy witch next to me little by little until she was putty in my hands and beyond ready to take me in.Something changed. I reach for her now, and she conveniently has something else to do, or sidesteps me completely.Every time I try to bring it up, she counters with my raging male hormones making sex more than it needs to be.My raging hormones weren’t an issue before. If anything, there were days when I needed all the stamina I could muster to keep up with her wants.Something else was going on, but she denied that as well.I could try and place blame on her coven, but there were always witches hanging out around the villa on a daily basis. I felt no ill will from any of them. They appeared to be genuine with their conversations and smiles toward me.I turn

    My phone vibrated in my back pocket just as I tried to put a sleeping Kali in her crib. Last night was another sleepless night for the three of us. Gabriel took turns walking her around the room.I don’t know if she was feeding off our energy, because we were all on edge since the night she was born.All the known LK within the pack felt a ripple go up and down their spine, along with the pull to come and pay homage to our little princess. Gabriel felt it as well, so Bear’s assuming he’s also LK. But he did say it could be because of our soul bond, but none of us are buying it.It makes sense that Luna would bestow her blessing on the alpha line of the Pack that originally worshipped her.Now, three days after her birth, LK women randomly stop by the Pack House with a small gift for her. They feel calmer being near

    A whole-body tremor pulled me out of a sound sleep. I couldn’t catch my breath, my fingers and toes ached with the pins-and-needles feeling.Bina’s head popped off the pillow. “What’s wrong?”I couldn’t even catch my breath long enough to answer her. As it was, I could barely shake my head. Shrugging my shoulders was not in the cards at present.“Do I need to call a doctor? Linsus?”As if those symptoms weren’t bad enough, I broke out into a cold sweat.“Lucien, what the fuck?” Bina cried, jumping out of bed. “You’re soaking the bed!”My heartbeat started coming back down to a manageable level, but Auron paced inside. I could feel his growls.“I don&r

    I watched Gabriel closely as he absorbed my words. His wolf had to smell the magick. If he didn’t, that would be unusual for an Alpha wolf.He didn’t disappoint.“What do you mean?” he snarled at me. I could tell that he just wanted to hate me regardless; but being magicked and not remembering wasn’t something one could ignore.I take that back; I obviously ignored it when that young woman was in the dungeon. That was guilt I had to live with. One day I might be able to look at myself in the mirror, but that was a very long time in the future, if at all.“One of my Elders has had me magicked since I was at the Academy,” I replied dryly.“What? No way!” he replied in disbelief. “How could you not know?”Gabriel slid the chair from the guard’s desk and sat so we were now eye to eye.“If you’re magicked, how do you know? It just becomes your life and how

    It was almost dawn before I saw the cabin off in the distance. Hours of trekking as human, and time resting as a wolf so I could defrost and transfer some of that heat to the woman were a definite necessity.I hated to take the extra time, but I think if we hadn’t, neither one of us would

    I opened my eyes, feeling refreshed. I sat up and stretched, taking in the beautiful meadow around me.Birds sang and butterflies flitted in the early morning sunshine.Somewhere in the distance, I heard the rush of water. I realized how thirsty I was, so I got up and ran toward it.

    I named her Jane, like Jane Doe, so I felt more comfortable giving comfort to a stranger. Naming her made her seem more of a friend.Once Jane was tucked in with extra blankets, I turned the small table lamp on across the room from the bed. It gave the room a warm glow. Just in case she wo

    I saw the recognition in his eyes.He was an alpha. He was duty bound to send me back.“Please,” I cried. “Please don’t send me back. You don’t know what they did to me. I didn’t kill anyone. They killed my wolf. Please.”The Alpha re
