Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Lucian Broke Down

Lucian couldn’t breathe.

The weight of it came crashing down like a tidal wave of knives. His hands clutched at his face, trying to smother the sound, trying to hold himself together—but it was no use.

He sobbed. Not the silent, restrained kind of weeping a warrior is taught to master.

No. He completely broke down.

Right there on the floor, in front of his brothers, in front of Maela and their beta, in front of the ghosts of every sin he had ever committed—Lucian wept like a man who had lost his soul.

His broad shoulders shook. His fingers tangled in his hair as if trying to rip the guilt from his skull. His breath hitched again and again and then came out as a raw cry, full of everything he had buried for years.

He didn’t care how he looked.

He didn’t care that he was supposed to be an Alpha.

Because right now—he wasn’t. He was just a broken man. A man who had shattered something irreplaceable.

His mate. His Selene.

And not just her body—not just her trust. No. He had crushed something even more fragile.

Her hope.

Her love.

Her first, innocent dream was of a boy she had believed was meant for her.
