Tempted by the lycan

Seven years ago, Ava vanished from Lucian's life, leaving him shattered. Now, a chance encounter reunites them, but secrets, a mysterious child, and a tangled past threaten to ignite a firestorm. Can love truly conquer all when ancient desires and hidden identities collide?

Seven years ago, Ava vanished from Lucian's life, leaving him shattered. Now, a chance encounter reunites them, but secrets, a mysterious child, and a tangled past threaten to ignite a firestorm. Can love truly conquer all when ancient desires and hidden identities collide?

The air in Lucian's opulent Parisian penthouse was thick with the scent of tobacco and unspoken longing. He stood silhouetted against the night-darkened window, the city lights a distant blur beneath him. Seven years. Seven years since Ava, his love, had vanished like smoke, leaving an ache in his chest that no amount of searching could soothe.

"Alpha!" Drake's voice, though respectful, grated on Lucian's raw nerves.

Lucian turned, his eyes, usually a dark, unreadable green, now held a glint of gold. "Lucian," he corrected, his voice a low, dangerous growl. The name 'Alpha' was a reminder of a life he'd tried to suppress since her disappearance, a life that felt meaningless without her.

"My apologies, Lucian," Drake said, bowing his head. "It's just habit."

Lucian sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. "Any news about her?" The question was a daily ritual, a flicker of hope he clung to.

"Not yet, but all signs point to her being here in Paris," Drake replied, his tone cautious.

Lucian's jaw clenched. Paris. Her favorite city. He dismissed Drake, turning back to the window. "Why did you bring me into the light, only to leave me in the darkness once more, Ava?" he whispered, the name a painful caress on his lips. His wolf stirred within him, a mournful howl echoing in his mind, reminding him of her absence, her scent, her touch.

He would find her. He would tear the world apart if he had to. He would not rest until she was back in his arms.
