“How is he?” I ask the doctor, casually filing my nails with an almost bored expression as I cross my legs.
The Alpha is stabilized for now, but his health is weakening by the day,” the doctor says, pausing briefly before continuing, “I’m afraid he won’t last long with how bad his illness is spreading.”
A heavy silence follows his words, the doctor’s gaze darkens, his expression sad as if he is the one receiving the news instead.
LOL
I suppress a yawn, nodding absentmindedly as Sophia hands me a cup of tea. I take a slow sips, fighting the urge to just leave and go to sleep.
“Is that so?” I ask, blowing on the hot tea.
“Yes Luna.

I don’t know when it happened, but at some point, I had already tuned out his voice, hiding my eye roll behind the rim of my teacup
Sigh. I’d rather be anywhere but here right now–preferably with Raider. Just thinking about my earlier encounter with him is enough to make my body heat up, my face flushing a bright shade of red.
The fact that I hadn’t even finished when we were having sex earlier only made it worse. We were just in the middle of everything when Sophia sent a message through the mind link, urgently calling me back to the pack.
1 shift uncomfortably in my seat, clearing my throat as I try to push the unholy thoughts out of my mind.
“I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s in

I interrupt him with a dismissive wave of my hand before he can finish his sentence. “Yes, yes very tragic. Just keep searching. The Alpha cannot remain sick like this, so find a cure–whatever it takes. That’s what you are here for, isn’t it?”
The doctor looks flustered but quickly nods, stammering out an acknowledgment. Meanwhile. I take another sip of tea, entirely unbothered.
“Oh, and… “I pause, narrowing my eyes as I set the teacup down. “You know this stays between us, right? Not a word of this leaves this room. The last thing we need is rumors about the Alpha’s condition.”
“Yes, Luna, I swear, I won’t say a word the doctor replies, bowing hastily. His hands tremble slightly
A slow, satisfied smirk spreads across my face. “Good. Sophia, be a dear and reward the kind doctor for his efforts. Then, show him out,
“Yes, Luna” Sophia responds with a curt nod before guiding the doctor toward the door.
As they leave, silence settles in the room once more. I glance toward Lucian who remains unconscious on the bed, his face pale and barely breathing
Hmm, perhaps increasing the dosage of Lunacite venom to three was a bit too much after all but oh well, the bastard was taking too long to lose.
control.
After my session with Raider, I returned to the pack, and before I could even get a moment of rest, I was told Lucian had collapsed in the crimsoqu Shadow pack, unconscious and not breathing. For a moment, my heart dropped because I thought he was dead! He couldn’t die, especially since Raider had specifically said he didn’t want him dead yet.
Goddess, I thought I was in deep trouble for a second there. But then, the doctor arrived and revived him, much to my relief. Lucian can’t die—not yet. Raider still hasn’t gotten what he wants, so I’ll have to be careful from now on
I stretch lazily, standing up from my seat before walking over to the bed. My gaze lingers on Lucian’s form, and for a moment, I can’t help but admure him—admure low handsome and undeniably attractive he is, even when he’s dangerously close to the edge of death.
My eyes trail to his face and I study his features. His long hair falls messily past his eyes, and his sharp features are chiselled to perfection. His fair.
in and defined jawline frames his face, highlighting the sharpness of his features. He is the kind of man who looks as though he has been slowly sculpted to perfection.
“God, he’s so lundsome, so irresistable,” I mutter under my breath, my eyes fixated on his lips. A sudden heat spreads through me, and for a fleeting moment. I find myself leaning closer, my fingers reaching out to gently tuck a stray lock of hair behind his ear.

Chapter 60
One look, just one glance, and my body responds with a hunger I can’t ignore. My pulse races, my breath quickens, and a craving stirs deep inside me, making everything else fade into the background.
How can a man like him be obsessed with Elara? Elara isn’t even beautiful–she’s plain, an idiot who doesn’t deserve a man like this. Hell, she doesn’t even deserve Damien. These men have an appearance that could leave both men and women falling to their knees, yet all they can think about is her

by fault. I can’t resist him
But before my lips can meet their target, Lucian’s eyes snap open. My breath catches in my throat, my eyes widen in shock, and a surprised gasp escapes me.
His piercing green eyes are filled with confusion, but within seconds, they darken. Before I can process what’s happening, his hand shoots out, gripping my neck tightly. In an instant, he flips our positions, pinning me beneath him on the bed,
With his Alpha voice, he hisses under his breath, sending a shiver of fear through me.
“How dare you think you can touch me. Lion? Have you forgotten my orders, or do you have a death with that you so desperately w
