Chapter 146 Ava: Without His Knowledge...
Lucas watches me with concern and care, but all I can say is, "Oh."
Some part of me had expected Mom to stay in a coma forever. Or die.
I didn't think about her much. Ignoring her existence is easier than dealing with—well, everything.
"I would have to return to Blackwood in order to question her." Every word is careful and measured, as though he's not sure how I'm going to respond.
He doesn't invite me to go. I'm not sure I want to. He probably realizes that.
Selene glances toward us, her ears flicking as she listens.
"I don't think that's the best idea. Your pack needs you here. They need to see their alpha." I'm hesitant to speak up, but Selene's watchful gaze gives me a little confidence. "Alpha Clayton is still there, isn't he? I think he should lead the interrogation."
It's our first time saying his name between us, and I can feel Lucas' muscles tense.
Trying to give him a little comfort, I grab his hand, threading our fingers together. A silent message that I'm still here. That I've already made my choice.
My heart hurts when I realize how little I've really thought about the damage I've done to this man.
He relaxes, drawing me closer, his thumb rubbing against the back of my hand. "You're right. I'll call him."
It's amazing how warm my heart feels, knowing that I've given Lucas a little peace of mind, with a hint of my heart.
I've wasted so much time worrying about his intentions. Worrying about being trapped in a gilded cage.
Being brave is easier than I thought it would be.
He brings our joined hands to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss against them. "I have to meet with Kellan and discuss everything, but I'll keep you updated. I promise."
