Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien)

Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Earlier, when I saw Maris coming toward Auren, I knew too well that malicious intent she had in her eyes. Maris was looking for an opportunity to find her alone and then insult her in the best way she could. She was a classic case of rejection. (from me), and having unhinged jealousy toward Auren. It was evident how much she warned to be in the shoes of Auren.

When she spoke with Auren and humiliated her in front of the other two Lamas, I was listening to her, thanks to my extra sensory perception. Also, the reality was that I couldn't stop myself from listening to Auren. It was like my entire being was attuned to her. Even my wolf was purring inside me like a kitten, nagging me to sit with her. While talked to other Alphas, Remus was only paying attention to her. And he loved her enthusiasm. The boy was having moon eyes for her. Like she was the center of his universe.

So when I heard Maris spewing venom to my Auren, I couldn't stop myself. Leaving the conversation in the middle, much to Tarian's chagrin, I just walked there and lashed at Maris, hitting her on the right spot, below the belt, where it hurt the most. She left, her face painted with shame, but what happened next was something I wasn't prepared for

The two Lunas next to Auren bowed to me and left sheepishly. I sat next to Auren and asked, "You are fine!" I was surprised with concern in my voice.

She nodded, and then she looked into my eyes, Fuck. Those gray eyes-they could look into my soul, and destroy me and I'd accept it happily. I felt so exposed in front of her

"Maris was offered 16 you, Alpha Lucien!" she asked in a cautious tone.

I blinked at her question. I mean after all that she just went through she asked me that I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes to assess her. Was she jealous of Maris or was she sad about it? While jealousy was cute, her sadness was disturbing “It doesn't matter," I replied. "Her father offered her hand to me a few months ago, but I refined".
