Chapter 72
The Wolf's Old Can Of Worms

Alexei POV

After an hour-long jog outdoors by myself to start the morning, I'm on my laptop to get some work done with a cup of coffee. Lucien is in the kitchen making breakfast with the maid I hired for our stay in this cabin. I want him to have all the help he possibly could need.

"You- y-you d-dirty, despicable wolf!"

He taps on his phone and shows me a picture in Instagram, a paparazzi shot of a young woman and me, his former roommate Destiny in particular, kissing.

"I-I've never s-seen this before, a-and it's posted less than a-a day a-ago" Lucien says quietly. "The caption i-is d-disturbing to m-me too."

I mentally sigh, and try to gently take his hand into mine but he just tenses even more. His eyes are glistening and it hurts my heart to see him like this.

"Stop what you're thinking right now, Kitten. Who do you trust, will you let me explain?"
