My Military System Chapter 265
What's this feelingAware of Sarah's presence in the doorway, Lucian invited her in with a firm, "Come in!"Sarah stepped in cautiously, carrying a bottle of beer in her hand. "Sir, I brought some beer from the cellar. I'm sure you'll like it.""I prefer the outfit you're wearing tonight, Sarah."Lucian took the beer from her hand, his gaze lingering on her long enough to make her cheeks flush. She wore a simple dress, one that modestly framed her figure. To her surprise, Lucian’s compliment was genuine, not dripping with the usual sarcasm she had come to expect."Thank you," she mumbled, eyes downcast. She wondered how a man who had her under lock and key could make her feel so vulnerable yet strangely seen.Lucian poured the beer into two glasses, sliding one across the table towards her. "Sit. Drink with me."Tentatively, Sarah took a seat, lifting the glass to her lips. The beer was cold and bitter, a stark contrast to the warmth spreading through her from Lucian's proximity. "Why

MisunderstandingWith trembling hands, Sarah replied, "I..."Lucian immediately snatched the phone from Sarah's hand, his expression full of anger. "Don't you ever do this again, understand?"Sarah, who was slumped on the floor, could only nod weakly. She felt increasingly squeezed into a predicament. Lucian pushed her away, pacing back and forth, trying to contain his fury."Why did you contact him?" he demanded, his voice shaking with a mix of rage and betrayal."I... I just wanted to understand why he did it," Sarah stammered, tears streaming down her face. "I wanted closure."Lucian's eyes softened momentarily, but the anger quickly returned. "You don't need closure from a man like Marcus. He's dangerous, Sarah. Reaching out to him puts you in jeopardy."Sarah wiped her tears, her voice barely a whisper. "I know. I’m sorry."Lucian sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair. He sat down beside her, his tone softer but still stern. "You have to trust me. Everything I do is to

(Walk in the woods)“Are you alright?”Luciano asked Talia when they exited the pack hospital.“Yes, thank you, Alpha Luciano.”, Talia responded.Luciano cocked an eyebrow at her. “Did you forget already?”She looked at him questionably, and he said, “Just Luciano. Say it.”Talia glanced around, to make sure no one overhears them. He is the Alpha, and she should listen to him, but if anyone else hears that she is addressing him casually, she might end up in trouble.Everyone they met so far addressed Luciano respectfully with his title, and Talia learned a long time ago that standing out is not a good thing.“Luciano.”He smirked victoriously. “Do you want to walk, or should I get a car? The packhouse is about fifteen minutes walking from here if we cut it straight through the forest.”She was not sure why he was giving her a choice. “Anything is fine.”“Then, let’s take a walk. I got stiff after so much time in the car, so it will be good to stretch my legs…”…Talia followed after Luc

(Welcome home)Luciano and Talia emerged from the last line of trees and Talia shrunk at the sight of the neat lawn and the mansion.Little by little, her steps became smaller, and her face was filled with reluctance.Talia understood that this is the packhouse, and things like a packhouse didn’t bring happy memories.The packhouse at the Red Moon pack was a place where she was fine only while hiding. In the forest, she was happy, and she didn’t want to go back to the attic.“This will be your home, Talia.”, Luciano announced and tugged her hand to start moving.‘Her home?’, Talia wondered if she heard him right.She knew that Luciano lives there, and probably Caden and Maya and any other high-ranking members of the pack. But what about her? She is a nobody.Talia forced herself to stay present and to observe her surroundings. It will come in handy if she needs to flee.In terms of size, the packhouse was bigger than the one at the Red Moon pack.They came from the side, but Luciano l

(Late Breakfast)A blissful smile appeared on Talia’s face as the buttery waffle with a hint of vanilla melted in her mouth together with the sweetness of the plum jam.‘Caden told me that this girl is different, but only now I realized how much…’, Stephanie’s voice reached Luciano through the mind-link.Luciano guessed that Stephanie was alluding to the way he helped Talia with food.‘There is nothing wrong with me helping the girl out.’, Luciano said and took a sip of coffee nonchalantly.‘I never said that it’s wrong.’, Stephanie immediately responded.It was not wrong, but Luciano never took a personal interest in any of the new members.Stephanie knew that Luciano waited for Talia at the pack hospital, gave her his old room on the third floor, and now served her food. This was unheard of.Stephanie was not considering the possibility that Luciano had romantic feelings toward Talia.She thought of Luciano as a child, and compared to him, Talia looked like a little girl, innocent,

(New room)“Based on your reaction, I can guess Alpha Luciano didn’t tell you that you will be staying in his old room.”“His old room?”, Talia repeated robotically. “Don’t you have any other room to give me?”Stephanie shrugged. “Don’t look at me, girl. I’m just following orders. Come inside and see how you like it.”“You traveled the whole night, and then went to the hospital. I guess you want to shower and rest, right?”Talia nodded at Stephanie’s words while observing the room and her sight stopped at the intricate woodwork on the mantle that surrounded a massive fireplace.“Uhm… they didn’t bring any suitcase for you. Do you have any clothes?”, Stephanie asked.“I had clothes wrapped in a bedsheet. That was in the trunk.”, Talia said.“Give me a second.”, Stephanie lifted her finger, indicating to Talia to wait, and she mind-linked Maya. ‘Did you bring Talia’s things inside?’‘What things? Other than one book and a few trinkets, Talia has only a few items that are worn out and do

(A way of protecting Talia)In the dining room, ten minutes ago.Luciano was caught by surprise when Talia left with Stephanie. He wanted to go after Talia, and his wolf agreed, but then Cassie appeared at the door and Luciano paused.If he goes after Talia, Cassie will notice and target her.‘You were supposed to get rid of Cassie a long time ago!’, Luciano’s wolf growled in his head. ‘Sent her packing and go after our mate!’Luciano pinched the roof of his nose. ‘Cassie is just a fly. But a fly with a hurt ego and big mouth can cause damage. Even if she doesn’t know that Talia is my mate, just the fact that I’m treating Talia differently will put a target on her back.’‘So, what is the plan, wise guy?’, his wolf asked sarcastically. ‘You will pretend that mate is not here until this annoying she-wolf leaves?’‘I can’t act differently. Talia’s safety comes first.’His wolf snorted in disapproval. ‘How about you go and shag every she-wolf in ten miles radius? In that way, no one will
