Lucien's POVInside the car, I decided to attend to more mails before getting to the company but I couldn't. Images of Sloane kept coming back to me. The look of pain on her face,the anger and cold shoulder.I pushed it off and shut my laptop. Ryan turned to look at me,he raised a brow but said nothing. Soon,his phone rang and immediately he got engaged in a conversation. It made me calm and happy. At least he'd stick his butt out of my matter.The car came to a stop and just then,he stopped talking on the phone. We got out and were immediately taken through the exclusive gate.“How many meetings for today?” I asked, already feeling tired. Handling a clan and the affairs of several corporations was taking a toll on me but I loved it and would do all my best to make sure it goes smoothly.As soon as I walked into the boardroom, everyone stood up. “Mr Moretti.” Mr Jack, the MD said,his smile was shaky.I knew they weren't expecting me today but the impromptu meetings had to be held in m

Sloane's POVSleep refused to come no matter how tightly I shut my eyes, Lucien's words echoed through my mind.Mason has assaulted women. The sentence replayed over and over until my chest felt heavy.I rolled onto my side and stared at the moonlight spilling across the room. I had smiled at Mason,thanked him and accepted a ride from him without knowing all these things.A shiver crept down my spine. If Lucien hadn't told me,I wondered if I'd have continued to accommodate Mason.I squeezed my eyes shut. "No," I whispered to myself. I wasn't going to think about it anymore.Throwing the blanket aside, I slipped out of bed and quietly left the room.The corridors were almost empty at this hour. Only a few sentinels stood watch, bowing respectfully as I passed. I still wasn't used to that because back in Moonlight Pack, I was invisible.Here,people looked at me as though I mattered. The library door stood open and a soft smile tugged at my lips.At least books never complicated anything

Sloane's POVRyan excused himself the moment we arrived, claiming he had reports to finish before nightfall, leaving Lucien and me walking side by side toward the mansion.Neither of us spoke and I still couldn't stop thinking about what had happened in court.An Alpha had objected and the elders had overruled him. Mason had walked free.The image of his smile made my stomach twist and without realizing it, I wrapped my arms around myself."You've been quiet." Lucien's voice broke through my thoughts. "I've just been thinking.""I know." I glanced at him. "You do?""You've been wearing the same expression since we left the council chamber." I sighed. "I just don't understand.""What?""If you're the Alpha... why couldn't you stop them?" He was silent for a long moment before answering."Being Alpha doesn't mean I make every decision alone.""It looked like they ignored you.""They challenged me.""Isn't that worse?" A small smile tugged at his lips. "Sometimes." We climbed the steps

Lucien's POVThe moment Mason Carter walked into the conference room, every pleasant thought I'd entertained since arriving at the company vanished.His tailored charcoal suit and polished shoes couldn't hide what he truly was.A predator.Ryan stopped arranging the meeting files and looked at me from the corner of his eye."I was hoping the report was wrong," he muttered."So was I."Mason smiled as though we were old friends."Alpha."I acknowledged him with nothing more than a cold stare."My father sends his apologies," Mason continued smoothly. "An urgent council matter prevented him from attending.""I wasn't asking for an explanation."His smile remained firmly in place."I've been authorized to represent Elder Theodore today."Of course he had.Theodore knew exactly what he was doing.Yesterday, I had thrown his son into the dungeon.Today, he had found the only legal way to force me into the same room with him.Ryan leaned closer."We verified it with the Elder's office.""I

Lucien's POVWe were about to get into the car when one of the security guards walked up to me with a frown on his face.He looked worried and from his expression, I could tell there was a problem. “What is it?” I asked and immediately he stretched out his hand and gave me a file.“We have successfully gone through the footage and some files relating to the border, and a particular elder's name keeps coming up.” He said.“Whose name?” I asked, turning to look at Ryan, but within me, I already knew who we were dealing with.“I don't think it is right for me to disclose the name here. Please head to the security department and find out what they have.” I nodded at once and got into the car.“So what do you think?” Sloane asked after a minute of silence.I sighed tiredly and looked out of the window. “I think I know who the elder is, and if I am correct, I will have to do an intense investigation and a proper way of bringing him in to face the law," I replied.I heard Ryan snorting, and
