for Austin had saved me more than once already in his wolf form , so did he really not care for me?He could have just left me to die on both occasions but he didn’t .
“We will miss you Lucy.”Marcus whispered .
I felt the tears form in my eyes again , it felt amazing to have brothers who cared this much for me , I’ve been separated my entire life from them but yet I knew I would give my life for the men in front of me now and I also knew they would do the same for me.
“Oh for f**k’s sake Marcus , look what you did now.”Thane grunted.
A sad smile made its way on my face. “Thank you so much for coming to find me , the fact that you did means the world to me .”I confessed .
My brothers pulled me into a group hug as they all surrounded me .”We will always be here for you Lucy , whenever you need us , we’re always watching over you , remember that.”
I nodded my head and turned to go.
“Are you sure you don’t want us to go in with you?”Thane asked for the hundredth time.
I shook my head .”no Thane . I already saw what happened on the first meeting between Austin’s family and you , I don’t want a repeat of that.So please don’t.”
Thane sighed but nodded in understanding .
I gave them all a faint smile before waving goodbye .
It was time to face Austin and his family and tell them everything I’d just found out.
.
Austin’s POV:
“WHERE THE f**k CAn SHE BE!”I roared , Lucy had been missing for an entire day and we’d already searched the entire f*****g kingdom.I hadn’t slept , had ensured none of the pack members did either , every single person I could command I had them out in their numbers searching for her.
And still, we got nothing , not even a single lead on where she could be.How could this be?It was like she vanished without a single trace .When I barged into the room last night to check on her , restless on being away from her for too long with the condition she was in and found the room completely empty with the windows opened , I f*****g flipped .not a single soul had seen me act the way I did last night , it was hard to explain but not knowing Lucy’s whereabouts was driving me insane and I was growing more insane with each passing second that she wasn’t near me.
“Alpha.”Alex interrupted my thoughts.
“What?”I snapped , my anger on the verge of collapsing .
“We just got word from your parents , they found her.”He informed me.”She’s home.”
I didn’t waste time at the news and immediately made my way hometo her.
It wasn’t long before I was inside the palace’s gate , opening door after door,impatient to finally see her, my footsteps slowing only when I spotted her .Her beauty filled my vision and I couldn’t help but let it sink in ,both my wolf and I relieved to see her.
for a moment I just stood there taking in the sight of her ,enjoying every little detail , her long dark hair was flowing gracefully around her shoulders while her delicate fingers slowly pushed it out her face as she stood there talking to my family , her gaze suddenly looked up in my direction as if sensing my presence allowing me to finally see her face.
My heart clenched like a fist at what I saw , her cheeks were flushed and under her eyes swollen , had she been crying? The thought made my gut twist .
I crossed the room to her , intent on pulling her into my arms but froze as a familiar scent caught my nose .
A muscle ticked in my jaw as I felt anger quickly overcome all my other emotions , felt it rushing through my veins .
“Lucy.”Her name dripped from my mouth like venom. “Why the f**k do you reek of the fire Cross Pack?”
I flinched at Austin’s tone.
How did I explain to him that the family that betrayed his family was my very own?
How did I explain that even though my brothers hadn’t spoken about the past that deep down I believed that they were good people and could have never done anything bad to his family?
“I-I -“
“WHY DO I SMELL THEM On YOU LUCY!” He roared .
“That’s where you went missing for an entire day? You were with them? “He demanded. “After knowing what they did to my family you would actually stoop so low and still leave with those bastards?”
When I said nothing , Austin grabbed hold of my hair and brought me inches away from his face so that my only option was to stare deep into his eyes.I gasped at the hurt I saw there , my heart clenched tightly in my chest , unable to see him this tortured because of me.
“I hate their scent on you.” He whispered against my ear, my body trembling in response.” Only my scent should be all over your body Lucy .”
“no one else.” He added , his voice a hoarse whisper as he closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against mine.
His lips were inches away from mine and his sweet breath fanned my face , my knees suddenly felt like molten lava .
I was left speechless , my body paralyzed .
When he finally opened his eyes it was as though the hurt was buried deep inside , replaced by anger . His gaze hardened as he let go of me abruptly and it took all of my strength to not fall at the sudden abruptness .
“Are you going to f*****g answer me?” He shouted , my entire body jumping at his deadly tone , surprised at the sudden change in pitch of his voice.
