Tempted by the lycan

Lucian stood at the window, staring out into the night. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, savouring the taste of tobacco. As he exhaled, a cloud of smoke rose into the air, slowly dissipating into the darkness.

Behind him, a soft voice spoke, barely above a whisper. "I don't like you smoking."

He turned to see her standing there, a look of concern on her face. He smiled and pulled her into a tight embrace. "I will stop then, my love," he said, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.

But then, in an instant, she vanished. The warmth of her body disappeared, leaving only a chill in the air. Lucian stood alone, his heart pounding in his chest. He looked around frantically, searching for any sign of her. But there was nothing. She had disappeared into thin air.

It had been seven years since she had disappeared, but Lucian had never stopped looking for her. He had scoured the streets of Paris. It was as if she had never existed.

“Alpha”. Drake, his beta called.

He turned around, dropping the cigarette in the ashtray.

“Lucian”. He corrected, his voice low and dangerous.

"Drake, I've asked you before not to call me Alpha”. Lucian's voice was firm, and unkind.

"I apologise, Lucian," Drake said, his eyes cast downward. "I meant no disrespect. It's just a habit."

Lucian sighed, trying to keep his patience. He knew that Drake meant well, but sometimes his old-fashioned ways grated on Lucian's nerves.

Lucian had always treated Drake with respect, and in return, Drake showed nothing but loyalty and devotion

"It's fine, Drake. Just try to remember in the future."

Drake nodded again, his face still contrite.

“Any news about her?”. Lucian asked.

“Not yet. But based on all my findings she’s here in Paris”.

“Hmm”. Lucian nodded.

He has been hearing the same thing for the past two months now. At first he couldn’t get her location at all but now he find out she’s here in Paris.

“You can leave I want to be alone”.

Drake nodded before walking out.

Lucian turned back, staring blankly at the beautiful sight outside. He knew Paris would be the only place she would come. It was one of her favourite places.

"Why did you bring me into the light, only to leave me in the darkness once more?". He whispered in sorrow.

“I was so used to being in the darkness but you brought light into my life. Tell me how can I live without you in my life now? Why Ava?”.

Why and when she left was still a mystery to him. They were so happy and in love with each other.

Then why did she suddenly leave him?

“She’s gone, Lucian”. His wolf whispered.

“We might never see nor feel her touch again”. His wolf growls.

Lucian felt a knot of despair twisting in his chest. He wanted to howl in anguish, to lash out at his wolf for thinking like that.
