Chapter 19
Third POV.
That word-“Alpha–“–froze Arthur in place.
He remembered… Cara had called him that too.
Wait. That wasn’t possible.
Only Lucy had ever-
He shook it off. He must’ve misheard.
He braced himself over her, voice gentle.
“Don’t do that again.”
Lucy smiled, knowing she’d won.
That word always worked. It always pulled him back.
Then–Arthur asked suddenly,
“Where’s the ruby ring I gave you?”
Lucy’s gaze flickered.
It wasn’t with her.
She had to get it back.
“I left it at home,” she said smoothly, and moved on. Her fingers pulled him close again.

“I took an aphrodisiac, Arthur. Be my cure.

She leaned in, lips inches away.
Arthur’s mind betrayed him again.
He saw Cara’s face. Her lips. That kiss.
Lucy’s lips touched nothing but air.
He turned his face.
She pouted. “Why are you dodging?”
Arthur didn’t know why.
He’d loved Lucy for years. This should’ve been normal.

But he’d just kissed Cara. And his body remembered every thing.
As a man with strict habits and a deep sense of control, the idea of touching one woman
and then another…
It made his skin crawl.
Dirty.
A knock interrupted the tension.
Jack’s voice came from outside.
“Alpha. The antidote has arrived.”
Lucy blinked.
He’d gotten her an antidote?
Arthur gently removed her arms, stood up.
She hurled a pillow at his face. “Arthur! Are you even a man?!”

He didn’t react.
“Rest well,” he said coldly, and walked out.
Lucy stared after him, seething.
In the study, Arthur stood by the window.
Jack entered. “Alpha, Miss Lucy has taken the antidote.”
Arthur didn’t turn. “What about the one for Villa?”
“I sent our Omega assistant, but he said the room was empty. The Luna… is gone.”
Arthur finally turned.
“Gone?”
Jack nodded. “She was picked up by someone.”
Arthur’s expression darkened.
“Who?”
Jack hesitated. “We’re not sure…”
Arthur cut him off.
“Forget it. I don’t care.”
It doesn’t matter.
He didn’t love Cara.
She could go wherever she wanted.
“Leave me,” he said.

“Yes, Alpha”
Jack exited.
Arthur stared out the window.
He undid his collar slowly.
Reflected in the glass, he saw the faint outline of his throat.
A bite mark
Small. Delicate.
Left by Cara.
His mind replayed it all–her teeth, her kisses, her warmth.
And suddenly, the cold room felt too quiet.
