Chapter 290

Lucas took a deep breath in. Then out. “How do you know this?”

“I went to visit Ayla,” Luther replied, then held up a hand when Lucas was about to argue. “I know you want no one to see her, but you are my son. I do not take orders from you.”

“I am your Alpha. You do take orders from me,” Lucas growled back.

Luther chuckled softly. “Oh, stand down. The day I take an order from you is the day the world turns upside down. Alya was quite helpful in a line of questioning, despite her madness. She made note that you never come to visit.”

“She’s obsessed. I don’t tend on feeding her delusions,” Lucas muttered, watching his father carefully.” What else did she say?”

“Nothing of any importance.”

“Liar.”

“You are far too paranoid for your own good. And your temper is worsening as of late,” Luther said. He walked to the other side of the counter to grab his keys.

“Ayla told you something else, she must have. What else does she know?”

Luther simply smiled. “I should be going. But keep in mind the needs of this pack. I will be seeing you on another date with Silva.”

Lucas ignored his father, who promptly left. He flexes his hands. Thinking. Elaine was investigating her miscarriage. He’d known she had questions but he thought he’d shut that down when he told her she couldn’t go speaking with Ayla.

Apparently that curiosity had not been snuffed.

But why was she doing this?

It had happened three years ago, surely there were far more important things than for her to go looking into the past like that. Unless..

“I know that look,” Kyle said, closing the door as Luther left. “You need to think rationally, Lucas.”

“Why is she investigating this?” Lucas growled out. “Unless she’s looking to get pregnant again.”

“Lucas…”

“There is no other reason. She must be…” Lucas‘ hands trembled at his sides. He squeezed his eyes shut. “No. It couldn’t be. But why else would she…?”

“Lucas!” Kyle reached forward, taking Lucas by the arms. “Think for a moment. This isn’t rational.”

“She isn’t sick at all! She is trying to get pregnant again,” Lucas muttered, pulling away from Kyle.” She’s going back on our bond!”

Kyke’s jaw dropped at the accusation.

“I’ll strangle him for this…” Lucas snarled. “Liam has no claim to her! It’s my mark she bears!”

“Lucas, calm down! It’s not possible for that to be–” Kyle started, but Lucas was already walking toward the door. Kyle cursed under his breath, reaching forward to try and grab his arm. He only managed to snag Lucas‘ jacket.

Lucas discarded the garment with a jerk. A small bag fell out of it. Kyle looked down at the floor.

He knelt down, picking it up. A small bag with traces of red powder inside. His eyes widened.

“Lucas, stop!”

The Alpha did not stop.

Lucas had driven with one thought in mind, though it was not a very rational one. Lately, that was rare enough. He felt as if he couldn’t think straight.

“I didn’t steal her, Lucas! She was divorcing you before I ever came into the picture.” Liam dodged a punch, blocked a second. “Think with your head!”
