Chapter 5

Sebastian’s eyes were filled with regret and longing as he looked at her. She wanted to ignore him and continue walking but he grabbed her wrist as he pleaded, “Lucy, please let me

explain.” “Don’t call me that!” Lucianne’s eyes burned with rage as she took her hand back with force. “Lucianne,” he pleaded again, his eyes glistening as she called out her name.

“Lucy, is there a problem?” Alpha Juan just exited the restroom, and Luna I-lale was only two steps behind him.

Lucianne assured, “Juan, I can handle this. You and I-lale go on in. I’ll be there in a bit.” Alpha Juan looked hard at Sebastian, and his Luna felt uncertain about leaving her alone with him.

“I’ll be okay, I promise. I’ll mind-link you if I need help.” She assured her leaders once more.

Alpha Juan seemed more at ease with this response but Luna Hale was still sceptical. Lucy was like family to them. She had been Juan’s childhood rival and friend, and she was the first

They walked away in slow steps, still wondering whether they were making the right decision. When they disappeared from sight, Lucianne said, ‘You don’t have to explain anything, Sebastian. There’s nothing between us.”

Sebastian’s eyes were filled with pain as he said, “No, don’t say that.”

“It’s the truth.” She said simply.

“No,” he shook his head and said, “The biggest mistake I’ve ever made is to accept your rejection. Please, give me a chance to redeem myself. Give me a chance to take care of you.” i

“No, thanks. I can take care of myself.” She wanted to walk past him but he stood in her way t 0 stop her from leaving.

“Lucianne, I wasn’t in the right state of mind. What you saw wasn’t what’s real.”

“I know.” When Lucianne said this, a spark of hope glimmered in Sebastian’s eyes until Lucianne continued, “What’s real is the fact that you defended your father when I asked about the rogue attacks. What’s real is that you lied to me when I asked you about rogue Lycans. You told me that they didn’t exist but then I catch you having the very same topic of

conversation with your colleague two days later, declaring proudly that you heard rumours of their existence months before the wolves. You want to talk about what’s real?”

He took in Lucianne’s words, and every single one felt like a stab to his heart. The lump in his thmat 5t°Dped him from speaking as Lucianne continued, “What’s real is you told me that

“Unnecessarily suspicious?! Do you hear yourself right now?!” Lucianne hissed. “And you let your sister talk you into lying to me before sleeping with another female?!”
