Lucian’s POV
I looked at her, a familiar feeling rolling through my body. Lust, love, and adoration. I couldn’t love this girl, she was a rogue, she was banished by my Alpha. I feel my face twist before I realize it, disgust apparent on my face. I can’t love this girl and I won’t, but I can’t help with the way my heart splinters with the look on her face. She knows I’m here to kill her under the king’s orders.
I reach for her, I’ll make it quick, but her sobs stop me. I have to mindlink Adrian and explain to him I can’t do this. It’ll be like killing myself. I reach to his mind and tell him, I can’t help the relief I feel when he tells me to keep her alive. Princess Celeste has business with her, she needs to stay alive and protected. I hear crunches behind me and I know it’s Tyler chec
