Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien)

Lucien POV

Rizy paled when he heard my animalistic growl. He lowered his voice and said. "Alpha Lucien, what has gotten into you?"

"Have I made myself clear. Ry!"

He stared at me without saying anything. A few moments of silence later, he answered, "Yes."

"Good." I replied and leaned back. "Is there anything you want to talk abou?"

He clenched his teeth as if tense. Then he relaxed a bit and said, "If it's okay with you, Sable can accompany you to the events from now on You know that Auren's purpose is to have your heir. What are you going to do after that! You would need someone to look after the pup, your heir. And you need a constant presence beside you. Not someone who is doomed."

I wanted to put a silver bullen in his head right now. I was going to enjoy killing him. With the way he was going, I knew that things would escalate

I narrowed my eyes and tilted my head. Sickening pimp. "You know very well that

I can't marry Sable. So what I understand is that you're willing to offer your daughter as my mistress?"

pup. She is sacrificing

Taken aback by my crude words, he jerked his head back. "No," he denied, "Sable is offering herself to take care of your liste po her life for the sake of the pack's future."

"I see." I replied, unable to fathom his shallowness. He cleverly underestimated the sacrifice of Auren over here because she would be truly giving up her life for me and my pack. Instead he highlighted his daughter's grand future as her sacrifice. Did he think that I was a fool not to understand that Sable was interested in being the most powerful woman in the werewolf community! I highly doubted that she was interested in taking care of my pup. "Well," Tadded. Thanks Rizy. I'll let you know when the time comes"

He nodded, his eyes showing hope. He got up and bowed to me. "Thank you, Alpha Lucien. I'm glad that you see the reason why Sable is interested. Then he turned and walked out of the room with his chin high. Just before be exited, he turned and said, Theard about Finn and Jace. It could have been molded. I mean because of the breeder you killed two of our warriors.

"Are you challenging my authority!" I mareil, my Alpha wolf trying to break free.

"No, no, Alpha Lucien!" Rize Truve, indining his neck into submission because my Alpha aura spilled out. "I was just-

Tarian came behind him and grabbed his upper arm. "Don't challenge our Alpha," he growled. “Else I will be compelled to shred you in pieces

Riev looked like he could shit in his pants. "N-no," he spluttered and quickly left

Goddess above. I had to control Remus to stay put because he wanted to murder Rizy like right now. He had never been this feral in my entire life. but with Auren, he had become so fucking protective that his feelings surprised me sometimes

Besides, killing two people in a day was going to raise some eyebrows.

"That bastard is growing balls," Tarian snapped.

"Keep an eye on him, I growled.

Hirv Brown was one of the prominent pack members. Close to the Elders of the Shadowfang park and also close to the pack representative to the High Council which was our law body,

The High Council consisted of the Lunar Alpha who was the highest-ranking Alpha chosen by all the packs and the pack representative other than die Elders who were old werewolves with deep wisdom and experience.

I wasn't afraid of Rizy, but I knew that he was a fucking calculative, manipulative ass. I had to deal with him carefully, yet assertively because the sneaky bastard could harm my Auren. I would have killed him by now, but that would mean that I acted unreasonably. So 1 needed a reason to eliminare him. And right now, I didn't have any. I had to keep my eye on him until then.

When I woke up in my room, it was already evening. My heart thumped with a mix of hope and fear as I recalled the morning's incident. Alpha Lucien was being overprotective about me. But why? Maybe because he didn't like his authority to be questioned and since I was associated with him in some way, he was careful. I decided that I had to be careful as well and wouldn't jeopardize any pack member's life because of me

I had spent many days hiding in the shadows, feeling small and unwanted. Maybe that was best for all around me

I tossed the sheet and got out of the bed. Taking a deep breath I made my way to the main hall. As I entered, I noticed some of the other omegas looking at me curioudy. A few of them nodded in silent greeting, like they were accepting me. Then I heard murmurs about how face and Finn were dealt with A shiver ran down my spine and I realized that they accepted me out of fear of Alpha Lucien.

12:18 PM

One older woll gave me a

e a small smile as I passed by and hurried away

Later in the kitchen, I helped Vivi and Tom with food preparation. Tom looked me in the eye as I carefully sliced strawberries. "Good work, Lady Auren," he said. His voice was rough, but his praise was sincere. " seems like we finally got someone to tame the Alpha of the North"

Vivi chuckled and elbowed him. "Do you want to end up in the dungeons Tom just rolled his eyes, making me chuckle..

At dinner, Alpha Lucien didn't retum. I noticed a few of the omegas whispering while glancing at me, like they were disparaging me. I sat quietly. trying not to show how hurt I was. With my appetite lost. I walked back to my rooms even though Vivi really urged me to eat something.

As the day ended, I sat by a window, watching the sun set over the pack territory, I thought about all the small moments that had made me feel accepted-Tom's praise and Vivi's jokes. I realized that even though the pack could be harsh, there were gentle souls among them too. Maybe they were enough to spend my last year happily. Maybe it was time to focus on the niceties of my life instead of brooding all the time.

Just as 1 was pondering in my room. Vivi came looking nervous "Alpha Lucien has called you to the meeting room. The entire council is waiting for you." "W-why!" I stammered.

"I don't know!" she said. "But hurry!"

Was he going to break the alliance and send me back? No, please goddess, no, I walked into the meeting room, where the council members were gathered. Convenations died as soon as they saw me. I found Luciers standing at the head of the table with a smirk on his face, his eyes locked on me intensely

The breeder walks ansong is," someone muntcred.

"She won't last king," another snickered.noveldrama

1 clenched my fisis and swallowed down the lump in my throat. Yes, they were

going to send me back. My hands trembled slightly.

Lucien pointed at the chair beside him for me to sit. I walked there and what happened next shook the hell out of me
