Chapter 17
ALINA’S POV.
“Now, what am I going to do with you?” He muttered.
The smirk on his face darkened considerably.
Oh no.
He tilted my head to the left, then to the right, his eyes scanning my body to check if I was hurt. When he was satisfied, a tinge of relief flashed through his eyes–but only for a brief second before his glare returned
“Why do you keep on defying me?”
His tone held genuine curiosity, even though his glare remained cold and hard.
“I’m sorry, Lucian. it’s not what-
“You’re not sorry.” He cut in sharply, placing his thumbs between my lips.
His sudden proximity made me freeze. His next question came low and dangerous.
“Did he touch you?“,
My brows scrunched in confusion.
Was he talking about the guard?
“Did Vaughn touch you?” He repeated through clenched teeth.
Oh.
He was referring to Adrian
I quickly shook my head in response, my lips still parted under his thumbs.
“Why?”
He asked again, this time removing his thumbs so I could speak
“Huh?” I blinked, confused again.
Was he asking why Adrian didn’t touch me?
“Would you have preferred if he had touched me!”
My voice was barely above a whisper, laced with confusion and vulnerability.
His glare sharpened and his eyes darkened. His hand moved to wrap around my neck–firm, but not tight
“Do not test me, Alina. I will kill that little boyfriend of yours and lock you away. Don’t think because I love you, I won’t.”
He growled the words, his voice a mixture of fury and possessiveness.
His use of my name told me he wasn’t messing around and that sent a cold shiver down my spine.
“II you’re hurting me.” I whispered, tapping weakly at his hand.
He wasn’t really hurting me, but acting weak was the only way I could think to defuse his wrath.
His hand immediately dropped from my neck, and he shuffled away from me quickly, staring at his palm like he couldn’t believe what he’d just done.
I stood slowly from the ground and cautiously approached him.
“Ludan.” I called softly.

Chapter 17
“Don’t.” He warned, his eyes flashing as he took another step back then he stormed out of
training room.
I rushed after him.
“Lucian, wait… please!”
1 nearly tripped as I hurried up the stairs. I was only a few feet behind him when he entered his room locking it
sroom and slammed the
in my face,
“Lucian, please open up!” 1 banged on the door, but there was no response.
“Lucian!” I shouted, knocking harder. Still nothing.
“If you don’t open up, I’m just going to sit out here and wait until you open the door and let me explain!” I yelled, then slowly lowered myself to the floor, settling in for however long it would take.
Let me tell you, do not be deceived by how fancy the flooring was, it wasn’t comfortable at all.
With a sigh, I pulled my phone from my purse and dialed Talia.
“I’ve been waiting for your call, are you okay?”
That was the first thing she said to me as soon as she picked up.
“It’s Mr. Blackwood, isn’t it?” She guessed knowingly.
“Is that news to you?” She asked, confused. “You’re always pissing him off and not caring about it. Besides, I told you, he wouldn’t like it if he found out you snuck our. Worse, that you went to see Adrian.”
Talia was as blunt as ever.”
“Trust me, you were horrible. Now answer me. Her tone was firm and demanding.
“Because… I realize he genuinely loves and cares for me. I don’t want to piss him off anymore.” I confessed quietly.
“Well, that’s surprising.” She said, obviously caught off guard. “Tell me what exactly happened?”
What would you do in my position?”
