Chapter 6 Lucian smiled as he placed the necklace around my neck . You look so beautiful . Im glad that I have you , Freya , he said , his words soft , almost as if he were trying to convince himself . You stay with me despite my busy schedules … He always acted like nothing had changed , like everything was fine . You re perfect , he whispered , kissing my skin , his lips lingering for a moment longer . But I couldnt shake the feeling of disgust creeping in .

I couldnt help but wonder what would become of this pack once I left . After all , Lucian needed me , but he had become too arrogant , too full of himself . I smiled and continued toward his room , thinking he wasnt there . But as I approached , I heard the unmistakable sound of moaning . 3/5 Chapter 6 So good , Lucian ~ Vlanche s voice . echoed through the door , breathless and desperate . Think of that bitch as dead , she added , her words cutting through me . You re the most beautiful woman I ve ever met . Lucians voice followed , full of praise .

Why did you call me , Luna ? he asked , his tone calm , though I could sense the weight of the situation in his voice . I want to sever my bond with Lucian , I said , my decision final . What !? Thorne gasped . When are you going to stay ? You re homeless now , and this pack needs you . No , I said , my voice steady . I need to 8554 12:37 4/5 Chapter 6 do it now .
