LUCIOUS POV.
Alpha Lycan's groan still echoed through the hallway long after Aisha dragged him a few steps away. The sound wasn't normal. It wasn't a mere cry of pain. It came deep… from the kind of place inside a man where fear lives.
He clutched his hand like someone had stabbed him with a poisoned blade.
My brows knitted tightly as I stepped forward.
"What happened to you?" I asked sharply, eyes trained on him. "Alpha Lycan, what's wrong with your hand? Why did you groan that way when you touched her?"
I wasn't just confused but I was suspicious.
Very suspicious of him and his Luna.
The way he reacted when his skin touched Diana's… it didn't feel random or accidental. It felt like he knew something. It felt like he had seen something inside of her that the rest of us couldn't.
He tried to speak, but only a choked noise escaped him. His jaw clenched in agony. His eyes were still dark, trembling wildly.
