The true blood alpha won't sit quietly

There was an awkward silence in the West mansion. Ivis, his parents, his friends, and his assistant were all sitting quietly in the living room, recalling the big news that Araki dropped on him.

Everyone in the family who heard about the news fell into silence. Everything happened so quickly that Ivis didn't even get to interrogate Araki about it. They were rushed to their cars and sent away as the Araki's men informed them that Azrail was coming there to check on Lucian.

Araki told them he will handle Azrail and they should leave. Kell didn't waste the time and hurriedly took them away.

In the present time. Lucian was under the observation of the doctor while staying safely at home. The doctor who checked on Lucian informed them there were no major injuries or health issues, which was miraculous as Ivis told them Lucian had stopped responding for some time. There were bruises, weak health, and the effect of drugs which will go away with the medicines given.

Lucian's mother bites her lips, hearing about the discomfort his son had felt her heart was shattered into pieces. "I told you something is wrong, my senses warned me. You two didn't take action on time." She says hurt to see her son in such a condition.

The doctor leaves them going back to the patient to keep a watch on him. Isa turns to her husband thinking about the mate thing. "Did we make the mistake of not being with our sons and planning for leaving the place?"

Gareth pats her hand and shakes his head "It is not your fault, you were just doing what could have been good for them."

She was not finding peace in the words at the moment, all sorts of scenarios forming in her brain. She was feeling guilty and blaming herself for not taking care of her child. "But look how things have turned out to be, he was struggling all this time and didn't share anything with us and my elder son was putting all his efforts to play several roles at the same time. We burdened them both."

Ivis sitting next to his parents embraces her and places a kiss on her forehead to calm her, "Mother needs not worry, we have no complaints. Lucianie and I love you dearly. It is good that he is resting or I would not have been given the chance to sit beside you." The parents smile upon hearing it. Lucian likes to cling to his mother even after growing up.

Myrril feels guilty thinking about all the things this family went through in just two or three days and more is to come their way but they were still smiling and acting strong. He looks up at them and apologizes for keeping things a secret. "I never intended to hide things. Cian never fully disclosed what he was doing, he said he was doing it to gain information. We should have informed you from the first day itself."

"But why was he doing this?" Ivis asks unable to understand his brother, he turns to his parents "Is it because of Grandad?"

The couple glances at each other and then at the children in front of them. They were all aware of the changes in Lucian's behavior after his grandfather's death and knew he might be blaming many for it. Lucian became more secretive and would always sneak out from home.

The reason that led to the Grandfather's death were many and none. They were not sure which among the many led to his end and could only speculate. Gareth wanted to investigate but as soon as he started the investigations, several dreadful warnings came to him, threatening him to end it.

Ivis met with an accident and a photo of someone spying on their work also was sent to him. He caught the culprit but was stopped by his family to not dwell further. This didn't get the closure they wanted but at least they were in peace. A person once gone becomes a memory. They lived with that memory but Lucian was not satisfied with leaving things behind.
