I opened my eyes slowly. How long was I asleep this time? The last time I remembered was asking for my Alpha’s forgiveness and given him… I am sure he would blame himself for not protecting me again especially that I passed out in front of him, with poison and wounds all over my body, plus the fact that I had used my abilities when I had already swore to him that I won’t use it ever again because he fear it.
Not in the way he fear it will harm him or our pack, but rather he fears that I might not be able to wake up and if I do wake up, they might already passed away.
I know I was being reckless with my body and didn’t think of the consequences it may bring, but how could I just stay still when I can do something to find my son?
I let out a helpless sigh. I will ask for his forgiveness, I’m wrong this time for making him worry and now I felt guilty.
But if the time reversed, I would still do it again. Even if Lucien were the one who got kidnapped and I know that he had some means to escape, I will still come to save him.
The same way he would come through hell and water to save me.
And it goes without saying with our child.
I can’t waste any seconds of doing nothing knowing that my loved ones was in danger.
If I were a second late that night, who knows what would happen to my son who was facing the enemy?
Just by thinking that I was minute late, made my whole body shivers.
Also, is my son okay? What about his friend? Also, the other kids?
I raised my gaze, looking around and couldn’t help but frown.
Darkness pressed in from every direction, thick and suffocating, as though the world itself had swallowed the light.
It settled heavily in my chest, wrong in a way that made my skin prickle.
What’s going on?
Lucien never left the lights off.
I raised my hand and was about to touch my bedside, only to find out I couldn’t move my hand.
Or more like, it was held by someone tightly that I couldn’t even break free from it.
“Lucien?” I called out hesitantly, frowning my head.
I used my other hand that wasn’t being held by him and reached out, tracing his face under this uncomfortable darkness.
As expected, it was really Lucien
Before I could touch him further, my wrist had been grabbed.
“Scarlet.”

Hearing his voice. Het out a sigh in relief and reached out to him. “Why didn’t you turn on the light? It’s too dark. I can’t even see a bit.”
Hearing nothing from him, et out a helpless light and using his hand as my guard, I sat from my bed, reaching out as I hugged him tightly.
“I know, I was wrong. I was reckless. You told me to stay put but I can’t stay put. I even called Kathleen and Agnes for their hand to help me monitor the Nightshade and the Crescent Moon Pack while I would go to search for our son.” I softly explained while burying my face on his shoulder. That was our beloved son we’re talking about, Lucien.”
A warm hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me easily to his arms as I easily rested on his lap.
“But you are my beloved, Scarlett.” He was calling me by my name again, not the usual endearment he called me—he’s still
angry.
I pursed my lips, hugging him by his waist. “I’m sorry… it’s just that I can’t sit still and do nothing, wasting my time by waiting instead of doing nothing.”
“You don’t trust me.”
His tone was cold, sharp and piercing that it made my body freeze.
I looked up at him, facing him in the dark, shaking my head frantically. “How could I not trust you?”
“If you trust me, why did you go and have to use those abilities I feared?”
He was shaking.
His voice was trembling.
Even without lights, I could tell what expression he had like now.
And because I could tell, it made my heart feel like it had been clutched by someone and there’s a lump in my throat right
now.
I reached out instinctively, my fingers brushing against warm skin.
Slowly, carefully, I traced the familiar lines of his face-his cheekbone, the curve of his jaw-mapping him by touch alone. gauging the angle of his face the way I always did now.
My hand stilled.
Something wet clung to my fingertips.
I froze.
My breath caught as realization settled heavily in my chest. I leaned closer, following instinct rather than sight, until I found him. Until my lips brushed his skin.
I pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek.
Salty.
His tears.
My heart clenched as I lingered there, kissing away what I couldn’t see but could feel all too clearly

Lucien was crying

“I’m sorry, husband…” I uttered in panic. “I won’t do it again… I won’t worry you again. It’s not like I don’t trust you. It’s a mother’s instinct… I can’t explain it clearly but I—”
I couldn’t finish my words as he had already claimed my mouth, completely shutting me down as the arms around my waist, tightened pulling me closer to him, that could feel his body on me.
“You only call me ‘husband’ whenever you’ve done something wrong,” he whispered in between our kisses.
As if he were complaining about it.
But how could I explain it to him that I’m shy to call him by that in front of everyone. I can only do it when we’re alone. Now that I think of it, it seemed that I only called him that way whenever I have done something wrong and was guilty about it, and also… during our intimate times whenever I begged for his mercy, for him to stop since he had an infinite stamina to go on even for days.
He liked it when I called him by that endearment.
The way I like to feel his heart races whenever I call him that way.
“I was wrong…” I admit helplessly under his mercy. “Please don’t ignore me next time, it made my heart ache.”
“I wasn’t ignoring you,” he answered, tightening the hold on my waist. “Besides, how much more when I saw you trying to act normal despite being hurt? Your body was battered filled with wounds, your eyes had the color as your name, some of your body parts had turned purple, clearly you’re poisoned. You even swallowed your own blood to not make us worry.”
“Tell me, what should I feel when I saw you in that situation, huh?” his voice was sharp, yet there was tremors in his tone that made my lips purse as I hugged him tightly, kissing his cheeks and lips.
“I’m sorry…”
I couldn’t even think of anything other than feeling sorry and guilty. If I were in his position and I saw him the same, I think I would go crazy with worry.
That made my heart ache.
I was reckless.
I still haven’t change these past years of being together. I was still reckless and do what I want to do, not completely relying to my Alpha.
ľ
His hand slid to the back of my head, fingers tightening as he pulled me closer. His lips captured mine, rougher than before, stealing my breath as a sharp gasp escaped me.
I tasted something metallic between us for a fleeting second before he softened, his mouth lingering, his kiss deepening as if he was trying to ground himself through me-through us.
The world narrowed to that single moment, to the heat of his touch and the unspoken desperation behind it
He was the one who pulled away first.
