Chapter 50
Lucien POV
Remus berated me more than ever when Auren had gone missing. “You’re worried that others will find out that she’s our mate. Look what you’ve done? You’ve not only hurt her, she has run away from us. If we don’t find her again, I swear I will leave you.’
Already panicky and mad with fury, I groaned in frustration. You know why I was worried? It’s mostly because of you!”
“No, my choices are pretty clear, he growled. ‘I want to claim and mark our mate. It’s you who is not clear with what you want,
Instead of arguing with him, I blocked him and then ran into the forest, my heart thundering like a summer storm rolling in. What if Auren went to Eldermere! The forest on the north of my pack camed winds that whispered the cure,
Long ago, my ancestors had prohibited every Alpha to visit those forests or go to the ruins of Eldermere. It was said that the shadow wolves lived there. They were the spirits of our forefathers who were locked away for eternity in the ruins, and they sought salvation. It was a story/myth that ran parallel to the Bride Bane’s curse on my bloodline. It was engraved in our minds,
To test the myth, once Tarian and I had gone there when we were both sixteen. The ancient ruined temple was eerily beautiful. I still remembered how 1 felt when I saw the cracked moonstone. The wind hissed my name, saying dui I was cursed. (found myself drawn to the altar but Tarian pulled me away from there, afraid of the outcome. We heard a piercing howl from somewhere inside the temple. Both of us turned and ran for Jafety, When I looked back. I swear I saw a shadow wolf chasing us.
And that was why I was all the more anxious about Auren. Nothing mattered until I
found her, I don’t know why but I went to Eldermere on instinct where I found her lying unconscious on the Boor. Rage warred with fear as I scooped her in my arms and brought her back to my hone. There were a thou and questions in my mind and the foremost one was why did she go there‘
1 brought her back to the room, and called the doctor. He said that she was fine, just traumatized a little. I sat by her side and waited for her to wake up, my stomach twisted in a thousand knots. I contemplated if i should declare to everyone that she was my mate, but I knew that it would have so many repercussions.
When she woke up, relief flooded in my heart and I couldn’t help but stay with her. I promised myself I was going to compensate for my rudeness.
But how
I made her promise that she would never go to Eldermere temple ruins, but I knew through the mate bond that she had many questions abour L And even though I made her vow, I had put a heavy patrol party on that side and commanded every warrior to report me if they saw her traversing
that way.
“Come here.” I said, patting close to me on the bed. She had taken a bath and her scent was so tantalizing that I wanted to roll in it. It always calmed my nerves, but it was her touch that made me feel vibrant and energetic. She was like a drug I was getting addicted to
-Should we go down and have food?” she suggested.
“No.” I retaliated sharply. “Twant to make sure that you eat all of this and in front of me
Auren blushed once again as she looked at the place where I was paiting. Then she glanced at the food tray which was kept near me. Hesitantly, she made way to me and sat as far away as possible on the bed. “This is a lot of food” she said looking at the plate
I looked at the food I had ordered Vivi to make. Since I didn’t know what she would like, I brought everything–truffle scrambled eggs, juicy filet mignon, hash browns, caramelized banana in dark rum sauce, croissant sandwich with smoked salmon and caviar, Belgian waffles and Greck yoghurt parfait. Honestly, I didn’t know the names of these dishes. It was Vivi who explained what they were when she brought the tray to the room And I remembered in case Auren asked.
“It’s nothing,” I replied, not liking that she was sitting so far away. “Please eat. I waited like a puppy for its master. But she picked up one fillet
mignon.
broke it into two and ate half of that.
Frustration surged inside me. Here my wolf was planning to go back to the forest and hunt a bunny for my she wolf and give it to her as an offering, and she ate a tiny piece of mignon Goddammit! Without thinking, I reached for her arm, pulled her and made her sit on me, straddling my thighs
“What are you doing the squealed, resting her palms on my chest. Tingles of tantalizing sparks exploded in my body. Her hair cascaded in front as her face lingered over mine.
Suppressing my need to kiss her, I went back to lying on the pillow with one hand under my head and one on her thigh. “Now eat and make me eat as well. I’m hungry as hell and when an Alpha is hungry, he goes half insane.” At that her eyes widened, rounding at the comers and my lips curled up at my favorite sight. In a few seconds, she was feeding me. “My mood will nosedive, if you won’t ear,” I wanted her. Thankfully, she also started caring. Seeing her eat food was the most satisfying sight. But the most rewarding sight was her sitting on my thighs. Unfortunately, it was doing things to my cock. The fucker swelled. Her eyes landed on it, and the bastard twitched.
“D–Do you want me to massage it?” she asked softly. “You must be in pain.”
I groaned and pulled the blanket over it. Feeding her was more important even as I wanted to open my zipper and see her lips wrapped around in

Down boy! Nope. It was only going up. Yup, I was officially unhealthily obsessed with Auten.
Suddenly. Tarian contacted me via mind link. “Alpha, would you come to see the wedding preparations! I know Auren is awake and well‘
No I growled at him. “I have to be with her all day to ensure she is DOING well, so I can’t come. Deal with it I just couldn’t take the risk of leaving
