Bab 70: Landon and Lucien

Landon...

Landon was crying.

'Landon... You are back...'

He kept crying as he ran and ran into the night.

'Please don't cry, Landon... Why are you crying?'

The wolf sniffled for a while before he finally spoke up.

'Why, Lucien?' he asked, his tone full of recrimination. 'You love Ronan. I know you do. So why? Why did you do everything to sabotage your happiness?'

Lucien sighed.

'Landon, you know why.'

'Don't give me that bullshit excuse with your father because I am not taking it,' the wolf snapped. 'What is the real reason, Lucien?'

'There is no other reason,' Lucien answered meekly. 'I had to do things in the best interest of my family.'

The cold wind whipped against the wolf's face.

'It is always like this,' he spoke bitterly. 'Always. Always making the decision that is good for everyone but yourself! You are even willing to sell yourself to the enemy!' Landon spat at Lucien.
