the time I collected it. Alpha Lucien was already wearing a kitchen apron. With those strong arms that could rip several woolves
in pieces, those thighs that looked like pillars and those claws that could snap someone's neck in a second, he looked falarious.
The sight was so unexpected that I couldn't stop staring at Alpha Lucien, the terrifying growing leader of this pack, as he stood
there adjusting the strings of an apron with a cartoon teddy bear smack in the middle. His sharp features were as serious as
ever, but the image of him wearing something
soft made my brain short-circuit.
"Did you listen to what I just said?" he snapped "Are you going to gawk all day?" he asked, his tone clipped, but his ears turned
faintly red.
"1" I licked my lips. "What did you say?"
The raised his eyebrow. Then in an intimidating voice said, "Go to your room and lie down. I'll get it for you."
I didn't argue with him, so I just turned sharply and botted to my room. But the clanging of pots and pans made me sit up from
where I was curled on the bed. My stomach grumbled faintly, and I was trying not to think about how hungry I was. I wondered if I
should have gone back to the kitchen. The sound increased to the level that I knew 1 had to do something, before the whole
place turned into a disaster before the cooks jenumed. So I stood and walked back.
Ala Lucien was standing his towering frame filling the space as he leaned over a pot, a spoon in one hand and a cookbook in the
other
He was frowning. Deeply

he said firmly and turned. "You're too weak.
1 blinked at his back, then quietly sat down at the small table, my hands folded in my lap.
The sounds that followed were chaotic, to say the least.
There was a loud crash, followed by a muntered curse. Then came the sound of something sizzling, though I was certain soup
didn't require frying He opened the fridge, stared at its contents, and pulled out what looked like a jar of jam. Soon, the kitchen
was a warzone. Chopped vegetables hered the counter, along with stray splashes of soup. A spoon lud somehow landed on the
floor, and there was a faint smell of something burning
Finally after what felt like forever, be poured the soup into a single bowl. He wiped his hands on a towel, smudging them further,
and turned to me with a look of pure triumph

"It looks interesting." I said politely,
He crossed his arms and watched ine expectantly,
So I picked up the spoon and took a cautious sip. From the moment the spoon touched my tongue, my eyes welled with tears.
The soup tasted like somarone had boded gym socks in dishwater and added a handful of spices just to make it worse. My taste
buds recoiled in horror, but Lucien was watching me with those piercing eyes, his arms crossed like he'd just conquered the
culinary world. He was waiting for my reaction with smug anticipation.
My lips twitched into what I hoped resembled a smile. "It

He took a deep breathi like he was holding it. "Go on. Eat it all.”
The second bite was worse. My throat seeped to protest, but I forced it down, my face heating up. My eyes watered, and I had to

I froze in my place. It was Sable Brown. As I wiped myself, I heard her coming towards him. I tiptoed to the main hall.
"You had left the charity event so early. I thought I'd ask you if you were feeling well," she said as she came to stand next to him,
and craned her
neck to see him
Lucien frowned lightly. I'm perfectly well Sable." He saw me from the comer of his eye. "Auren wasn't well, and so I had to return"
“Oh Sable's head snapped toward me. “I can understand. She is an omega breeder. What can you expect from a breeder? If it is
okay with you. I can help her with her diet. I I am a nutritionist and 1 can write a great meal plan for her. She lifted her hand to
place it on his chest. "She is here to give birth to your heir. After that, the curse will claim her. But until then she has to stay
healthy" She Buttered her eyelashes. "After that, I am here. to take care of you and your heir.? Lucien's brows furrowed and his
expression darkened. He took a step back, making her hand fall down abruptly. He walked to me, held my hand and brought me
with him to stand in front of Sable. Curling his hand around my waist possessively, he said in a dangerous voice. "Are you telling
me that my Luna is going to die soon? Or are you saying that I can't take care of her?" Sable paled. "Alpha Lucien, n-
He put his hand up to stop her. "I just made soup for Auren, and she loved it." He looked at me. "Isn't it?" When I nodded, he said
to Sable, "See I don't need a nutritionist."
Sable blushed so hard that I felt like giggling but pursed my lips to stop myself. "Im sorry that I offended you, Alpha Lucien," she
apologized.
"You may leave, Sable. Auren needs to rest. Saying that, Lucien grabbed my hand and walked me to the stairs towards my
room. I could feel Sable's eyes burning a hole in my back. But I felt.. happy.
Never in my life, for the love of the goddess, did I expect what happened next.
