“Lucien, can we talk for a while?”

His heart tightened hearing the sweet voice, he stopped what he was doing and looked at the door which was tightly shut. He didn’t want to see her, he was disgusted by her because of her lies and cruelty but for some unknown reason, he couldn’t ignore her.

“Come!”

Ignoring the fact that he doesn’t like her anymore, he answered. Then the door of his study room opened as the girl once he loved came to his vision. He watched her from head to toe, she was gorgeous and delicate. She looked innocent but he knew that she wasn’t innocent at all.

She looked at him and slowly her pink lips curled upwards to a beautiful smile. Her hazel eyes were sparkling, they were showing the unlimited love she had for him. He moved his gaze away from her and looked back at the document he was reading.

“Speak!”

His voice was cold, then she immediately came and pulled the chair out beside her as she sat on it.

“I need to talk about us, Lucien..”

Hearing her, his heart turned cold. Slapping the document on the table he looked into her eyes with his emotionless eyes. He didn’t miss the way her beautiful smile slowly faded away by looking at his face but he didn’t give a damn.

“There’s nothing about us Arabella, we’re done. Why can’t you just let me fucking live peacefully with my mate?” he snarled.

She gasped because of his angry voice, little by little her eyes moistened and she clutched her skirt and lowered her head. He felt his heart was aching because of the way he shouted but he was just annoyed by her.

She kept coming to him with so many lies every day, it was true that they were lovers but everything had changed. His heart didn’t love her anymore, now he only loved his mate so he could not hurt the woman he loved.

She again looked at him and smiled painfully, she hid the pain but he could clearly see how hurt she was. He knew her more than anyone, she always used to bite her lips when she was hurt and sad as she was doing right now.

“Why can’t you face the fact Arabella? We are not mates. You will find your mate. Just don’t come to me anymore. I don’t want to see you.”

He rubbed his forehead as he said that. He looked at the time and saw it was already four in the evening. His lips curled upwards remembering his mate who was waiting for him at his house. He sighed and got up from the chair as he walked away from Arabella.

“How can you tell me that I'm not your mate while my mind was screaming that you’re my mate?”

He stopped and looked back at Arabella who was looking at him with tear-filled eyes. He hated seeing her tears when they were together but now her tears were nothing to him. He was also surprised by how fast he changed.

“Don’t lie to me Arabella, you always did nothing but lie to me. I'm done with your lies,” he said as he looked into her eyes.

But she kept shaking her head with tears. Her expression was honest and hurtful. His mind was telling that she wasn’t lying but he cannot feel anything about their bond. His wolf wasn’t telling him that she was his mate.

Even though his wolf was attracted to her beauty, he knew that wasn’t because of the bond.

“I lied? Did I ever lie to you, Lucien?” She stepped towards him and grabbed him from his arm. Without letting her hold him for a long time, he just shook her hand away emotionlessly.

“As the alpha of the whole damn pack, how can I choose a woman with lies to be my luna? She even tells me that she’s my mate. Heh.”

His mockery pushed her into a deadly silence. She watched him for a while and lowered her head. He knew she was guilty because she had lied to him about everything. If he didn’t meet his mate, he would have married this woman in front of him.

He thanked the moon goddess for sending his mate to him, she came and showed him what kind of a woman Arabella was. And now he knows everything about her true self. She was just a scheming woman.

“I smell your scent, Lucien, my wolf can. I can even feel your heartbeat but why can't you feel me? She’s not your mate, I am.”

His heart turned cold, he hated when Arabella said that Milena wasn’t his mate. Clenching his jaws and fists, he stared at the disgusting woman in front of him.

“Shut your fucking mouth. She’s my mate. I can fucking feel my mate bond with her which I cannot feel towards you.”

He grabbed her from her arm and dug his nails into her skin as he yelled. He was angry beyond imagination. He was just lost at the same time. Soon he realized what he was doing after hearing her hissing from pain.

Moving his hand away, he looked at her hand which was already bleeding because of his nails. His heart felt someone was stabbing him with a knife and soon he felt the pain in his hand. He didn’t know why he felt the pain, but he just didn’t care.

He looked at her face and smirked.

“This is what will happen to you if you try to say that I’m your mate.”

He warned her before walking out of the office while shutting the door behind him with anger. As he came out of the building where his office was, his mind was a mess. He didn’t understand why his heart hurt when he saw her blood.

It happened to him ever since they were kids. When Arabella accidentally fell down and had a little wound, it was him who became restless and hurt. No matter which part of her body gets hurt, he will also feel the same pain physically. Just like it happened a few minutes ago.

“Lucien... You’re home.”

His thoughts flew away, realizing that he had already reached home and his sweet lover was waiting for him at the door.

“How are you, angel?”

He hugged her and kissed her forehead as he asked. Milena looked up at him and smiled sweetly before kissing his cheek.

“I’m good,” she answered.

Then he chuckled and entered the house with her, as he entered the house his eyes fell on his sister who was looking at him with disgust. Then she let out a disgusting smile and walked away.

Watching her leaving, his heart filled with hatred which was aimed at Arabella. Arabella was the reason why his sister looked at him in that way.

“Lucien, don't be angry at her. I think she doesn’t like me that much”

Milena said with a sad face which made him feel bad for her. He shook his head and kissed her forehead.

“Don’t mind her, I like you and that’s enough.”
