"Lucian Montgomery, do you remember me?"
The commanding voice cut through the hum of the upscale bar, freezing Lucian mid-sip. He turned, his emerald eyes meeting the stormy blue gaze of the woman he had long thought lost. Kara. The savior from his past, the ghost of a fleeting yet unforgettable night. The memory of her had been a whisper in his mind, a regret that lingered in the shadows.
"Kara," he murmured, masking his shock with a carefully composed expression. "What are you doing here?"
She stepped closer, her presence commanding and urgent. "We need to talk, Lucian. Now."
He gestured towards a dimly lit booth in the corner, away from prying eyes. As they settled into the booth, the weight of unspoken words pressed down on them. Lucian could sense the gravity of her presence. This was no casual encounter.
"Out with it, then," he said, his voice a low rumble. "What’s so urgent that you had to seek me out after all this time?"
Kara's eyes flickered with a mix of anger and desperation. "I have a son. Our son."
Lucian Montgomery had always believed that destiny was a path forged by one's choices, but fate had a way of interweaving lives in unexpected ways. He was born into the prestigious Montgomery pack, a lineage of Alphas known for their strength and leadership. Lucian was groomed from birth to take over his father's position, to lead with the wisdom and power that coursed through his veins.
Yet, beneath the polished surface of his life lay secrets and burdens that even an Alpha struggled to bear. The Montgomerys were guardians of a powerful artifact, the Moonstone, believed to bestow extraordinary abilities upon its holder. This legacy came with enemies—rogues who had been banished from the pack, living on the fringes of their world, constantly seeking to disrupt the delicate balance of power.
One fateful night, three years ago, Lucian's life had taken an unexpected turn. During a mission to retrieve the Moonstone from a rogue faction, he encountered Kara, a fierce and enigmatic warrior from a distant pack. They fought side by side, their bond forged in the heat of battle. In the aftermath, they shared a night of passion, a fleeting moment where their guards were down, and the world seemed far away.
The next morning, Kara had vanished, leaving Lucian with nothing but memories of their connection. He returned to his responsibilities, haunted by the brief but intense encounter. Life moved on, and the memory of Kara became a distant echo, buried beneath the demands of leadership.
But destiny had other plans.
