Looking at Arabella's house, his mind started to show him how he secretly came there while everyone was sleeping. Especially Arabella's brother. Climbing to the balcony, he walked towards her room as she welcomed him by opening the window of her room. They really spent so much time together, they really had a past together.

Remembering how Arabella and he played with her dolls and teddy bears, his lips slowly curled upwards to a smile. He didn't know why, but his heart felt so comfortable remembering that. Raising his head, he looked at Arabella's room and saw the light was on. He felt the desire to see her, he wanted to see her but he didn't know why he felt like that.


Ignoring the fact that he wanted to see her, he sighed and lowered his head as he turned to leave but he stopped and again looked at the house. As he saw Arabella was standing at the window of her room and looking at him. His heart tightened seeing her, his fists subconsciously curled to balls. He didn't move his eyes away from her, he stared at her eyes as she did the same.

His mind was a mess, he didn't know why he came here and why he's looking at her without leaving. He forced himself to look away and leave but he couldn't do it because he felt he was just tied by invisible threads. After some time, Arabella moved away from the window making him unable to see her. Letting out a deep sigh, he lowered his head. But he again looked at the window of her room but she was not there.

When he was about to leave, he saw she was walking out of the house. His heart suddenly filled with happiness. He felt that she still loves him and that's why she's coming out from the house for him. Walking towards him, Arabella stopped a few feet away from him. Then she looked into his eyes. No one said a word, there was a deadly silence between them. But soon she broke the silence.


"Well, Lucien. I think it's time for me to return these things." She took a few steps closer to him and put her hand into the pocket of her housecoat. Then she took out something and curled her palm covering it as she raised her hand and gave it to him.

He couldn't see because she was hiding it inside of her palm, but instantly she slowly opened her hand as he saw there was a ring and a pair of earrings. His heart was stabbed seeing it, clenching his jaws, he stared at the pearl earrings in her hands. He didn't remember! He knew it was a gift from him to her but he couldn't remember when he gave it to her.


And then, he moved his eyes and looked at the ring. It was a beautiful ring, it had two pearls and a little pink diamond in it. Watching it for a while, he moved his eyes to Arabella who was looking at him with reddened eyes but there was a hint of achieving freedom in her eyes.

"Take these. You can give it to Milena now. You can use this ring for your wedding." she muttered.

Even if she asked him to take it, he couldn't. His wolf was forcing him not to take those jewelries from her hand. Without taking it, he stared at her smile. His heart was aching, he didn't understand anything but he felt he had completely lost her. Without uttering a word, he turned to leave but his hand was grabbed by Arabella.

Then taking his hand, she placed them on his palm before letting go of his hand. He looked at the things on his palm for a while and then looked at Arabella. Her eyes were filled with tears, and soon they rolled down from her eyes. But wiping her tears, she forcefully smiled at him and turned to leave.

"I don't want them back. You can keep it with you"

Without letting her leave, he spoke. Then she stopped and looked back at him. Taking a deep breath, she smiled, shaking her head. Which made his heart filled with both hurt and regret for something he never knew.

"I don't want Lucien. I just need to move on. Keeping these things means that I will never be able to forget you. So take them with you, if you don't want to, just throw them away. I don't mind."

She said with a smile and then looked at his hand. After looking at his hand, she lowered her head. Lucien didn't miss the way she clutched her nightgown tightly. Her body was trembling. She stayed like that for a while and again looked at him. Curling her lips upwards to a bright smile she looked into his eyes before turning and leaving. Even though she smiled at him like that, her smile was filled with both pain and heartbreak. He felt it. His wolf let out a painful cry as she left. He watched her until she disappeared from his sight and he even waited until the light of her room disappeared.

Knowing that she went to sleep, he lowered his head and looked at the earrings and the ring in his hand. Without doing anything, he put it into his pocket and walked away from her house. While walking, he tried to remember when he gave those things to her but he got nothing but failure. He couldn't even remember and he didn't know anything about it. He felt helpless and lost. He didn't know who's right and who's wrong.

Walking towards the pack house, he looked at Rowan who was looking up at the sky while playing with the silver lighter in his hands. They were all trapped inside of a maze, no one knew how to get out of it. Not even Rowan. Both Lucien and Rowan were following a mirage, which both of them saw as Arabella. She was their mirage, which they didn't want to lose.

While Rowan followed her for love, Lucien followed her for the truth. Even if Lucien had chosen Milena over Arabella, his heart and mind still was with her even if he failed to understand it. He will never understand it until he loses her completely.

"Stay away from her, Lucien!"

Hearing Rowan's warning, he looked at him. A chuckle escaped from Lucien, taking a few steps closer to Rowan, he stared at his emerald eyes. He didn't know from where Rowan got the guts to warn his alpha. No one dared to warn their alpha and go against his words but look at Rowan, he had completely changed.

"Who are you to order me Rowan? If you don't want me to rip your head apart. Shut the fuck up and stay as a filthy dog!" he said with a smirk on his face.

"Who am I? You really wanna know who I am? If you are really curious I will show you but once I showed you who really I am, you'll never see the light again. Wanna try alpha?"

Rowan's challenging voice made Lucien's heart turn cold. He stared at Rowan's face, there was a cruel smirk on his face which Lucien could not think of as simple. But he wasn't scared of Rowan. He would just rip his throat if he crossed his line.

"I hope my alpha doesn't want to die from a filthy dog's hands. But the filthy dog you mentioned can be a hellhound too."

With that, Rowan walked away. Lucien emotionlessly stood there without doing anything. A hellhound? Even if he became a hellhound he wouldn't give a fuck because he's loved killing tough things.

"Tsk.."

He chuckled and turned as he walked into the pack house, ignoring Rowan's presence. Then he looked at everyone inside of the pack house and raised his brows. The warriors were looking at him as if he was a ghost. Letting out a deep sigh, he sat on his chair.

"Any information about it?" he asked. Then his warriors sighed and shook their heads. Seeing their expressions, Lucien nodded and helplessly and moved his eyes towards Rowan who was lowering his head.
