Lucian's POV
*****
When a guard handed him a flat-screen holographic tablet showing a message from the Eastern Wolves Council, he stiffened, fearing the worst.
But when he looked through the message, it wasn't the worst. He might go ahead and call it catastrophic!
They wanted him to marry Elian Ashford.
Which, in hindsight, wouldn't be the worst thing. But there was one problem which wracked his head with pure frustration.
"I can't marry someone already bound to another, mother." Lucian sneered, brushing his right hand through his hair. "Just this morning, Elian and Axel were… intimate. Getting closer."
He was having breakfast in the dining room and his mother, the Luna Queen, sat at the head of the table. Her expression seemed like she was about to choke because of her son's words.
"Sorry, son." The Luna Queen coughed, using her fingers to cover her mouth before taking a sip from a glass of wine.
