Chapter 62
Lucien POV
I had returned in two days from the High Council’s library not because I had found what I was looking for, but because of the vision I saw. Of Auren bathed in crimson blood. The vision was so disturbing that Remus forced me to go back to see her.
And true to what I had thought, Auren was in the hospital. I rushed there. Seeing her lying unconscious on the hospital bed sent a sharp, visceral pain through me as if someone had ripped out a part of my soul. Her face was too pale and she was so fragile that my savage wolf stirred with a desperate need to pull her in my arms. I clenched my fists to stop trembling.
“She insisted on training, Alpha,” Tarian said, lowering his head. “I wanted her to go back, but she is my Luna. I couldn’t stop her.” Then he lowered his voice and added, “And she is stubborn.”
1 growled in warning but I knew that Auren was stubborn. Last time when she fought with Max, she warned not to interfere.
When Tarian said that she won against Julie, I was astonished. Even though Julie was at the beginner level, she had gamma blood and that was much superior to omega blood. Julie could easily take down Auren. But Auren not only won against Julie, she managed to inflict injuries on her. Julie was in the ward, bandaged and healing with red marks and cuts.
I felt like killing Julie right on the spot, but controlled myself because if I did that the pack members would raise questions. Remus was going insane inside me to break free and shred Julie to pieces. ‘Kill her, he growled. ‘She hurt our mate‘
‘I can’t. Auren wanted to fight with her as well.
‘So what?‘ he argued. ‘No one gets to hurt our mate!‘
I had to push him down with difficulty.
I was shocked when Elias said that Auren had healed completely. He said that by the time Tarian brought her to the hospital, her skin had begun healing. In a few hours she was absolutely fine. Her skin had stitched up. Elias said that she was unconscious because of mental trauma. He also heeded that she might eat a lot of food in order to gain strength once she regained consciousness.
I couldn’t leave Auren in the hospital, so when I saw her there, the first thing I did was on instinct. I picked her up and carried her back to our house. Surprisingly that calmed Remus to the extent that he stopped demanding for blood.
True to what Elias said, Auren ate a hearty meal the next morning much to my delight. I watched her stuffing her food into her mouth as she explained how she tackled Julie in the ring.
“Lucien, I want to go for training regularly. I know I can do it!”
I shook my head. “No, I can’t risk it anymore.”
“But why?” she whined.
I didn’t hear her argument at all. “We are going to the human town now,” I said, leaving no room for discussion. We finished breakfast and walked to the garage when all at once, I heard Sable. “Alpha Lucien!”
Ignoring her, I opened the door for Auren to sit inside, extending my hand and helping her in.
“Alpha Lucien!” Sable called me again. “Are you going somewhere?” she asked.
I gritted my teeth. “Human town.”
Her eyes briefly went to Auren. “Can I come with you? I also have some work.”
“No,” I replied gruffly and went to sit at the wheels. “I have to take her for an appointment. Besides, you can go on your own!”
She gawked at me. “You are taking her for an appointment personally? Someone else can take her.”
I narrowed my eyes on her. “Oh, so now I have to take your advice on how I work? What else would you like Miss Sable? Should I report to you when I return?” I asked sardonically, as my thoughts turned darker by the minute. “And how dare you question me?”
Sable withered under my glare. “I’m sorry, Alpha Lucien,” she muttered.
“Be careful of what you say,” I growled. “Your father’s position can’t protect you all the time!”
Sable’s mouth dropped to the floor.
Angry at her interference, I sped the car out of the mansion. I had to teach this girl a lesson one day. She took advantage of coming to my house on the pretext of training in the arena which was situated in my estate.

ghed at Auren who didn’t ask me anything. Instead, she sat in her seat and looked outside as the scenery changed, looking unbothered. Which
The road to the human town wound through the dense forest, and I loved watching her take in the scenery. My wolf was busy rolling himself in the sweet and warm agysle smell that filled my black Maybach Now all I wished was she held my hand or better if she sat on my lap as I drove. I glanced at her wondering if I could take her hand in mine, but refrained. That made my muscles coil in tension, and I clutched the wheel tightly. I didn’t want to Ask Ake a pervert even though all my thoughts were in the gutter.
“It is at Best time going to a human town. Where are we going?” she asked.
nan bour, we drove in front of a grand hospital that Auren was stunned to see. “It’s huge!” she rasped.
I chuckled “Yox my pack keeps giving them donations. That’s why they are so grand. As we walked inside, I couldn’t help holding her hand. Her hand was so small and soft as I covered it in my large ones. But I felt better.
There were so many unmated handsome doctors in the hospital that my wolf was already getting restless.
Told you to mark her already. See what you’ve done! All these doctors are staring at my mate. Should I kill them?‘
Calm down I chided him.
“Wow she chirped, snapping me out of my murderous thoughts. “It’s beautiful!”
