Chapter 35

Auren POV

"Lady Auren!" Vivi said in an excited voice. "I've been looking for you since morning. Won't you have breakfast? Where were you And why are you so flushed! Are you unwell? Should I call the doctor?"

Goddess, so many questions! My brain was already short-circuited after interaction with Lucien bit my lip "Ah no! I'm just feeling hot

Vi stared at me like I had grown two heads. "It's 40 degrees outside," she said, staring at me. "Are you okay?"

I let out a rough exhale and blurted, "I saw-" My words vanished from my mind because the kitchen door opened with a bang and Lucien walked in. What the hell. I thought that he had gone to the office. My eyes widened as I stared at him. I think I was about to get a heart attack just because I saw him naked

Lucien's intense gare pinned me in place, and fire crackled between us. Sweat appeared on my brows and my breath hitched. With a smirk, he sauntered toward me. Vivi and the rest of the kitchen staff watched us in pin drop silence. When he came to stand in front of me, he leaned in just enough for me to feel the warmth radiating from his body. His voice was a low, rough whisper when he said. "You keep looking at me like that, little wolf, and 1 might just forget to be a genile wolf"

I swallowed hard, my face buruing because it was then I realized that I was

staring at him. "I-I wasn't looking at you like anything" I sammered. Jeaning back, straining my neck up to see him

Lucien's lips curled in a knowing smirk, but he didn't press further. Instead, he straightened and walked past me, his hips brushing my shoulder. "Put that dirty mind and wicked thoughts to rest, Auren," he said in a husky voice.

Dirty mind? Mine! My jaw nearly hit the flour as I watched him walk away, his fingers raking through his hair.
