CHAPTER 76 : Lucian's Return

• Adams had been completely consumed by his connection with Clara, forgetting the existence of a certain Lucian. Being in Clara's presence had transported him to a realm of love, where worries seemed to dissipate. However, her question brought him crashing back down to earth.
• He knew that Lucian would inevitably return to the town and the mansion. It was only a matter of time. Adams was certain that Lucian, his alpha, would disapprove of his relationship with Clara. After all, Adams was his Mano beta, destined to remain by his side.
• Clara adjusted her position, sitting upright. "Tell me, are you in some kind of trouble? Those men who accompanied you to school that day, who are they?" Her fingers intertwined with his, and Adams found himself captivated by her gaze.
