Chapter 231

231 Annalynne’s Scar Removal

“Reporting to the Luna, the Alpha of the Silent Walkers Pack requested an audience.”

Lucien choked on his coffee. He then coughed violently under the worried gaze of the guard.

The guard might think it was because Annalynne dropped by so suddenly, but actually, it was because Lucien was still not used to being addressed as a Luna.

Even before Lucien was introduced to them as the future Luna, the whole pack more or less already knew about Ronan’s intention. They just did not dare to refer to him as the Luna directly for fear of overstepping their boundaries.

After Ronan officially announced Lucien’s status to the whole pack, it became much easier. Instead of choosing between the address “Lucien” or “Mr. Clearwater”, they could just call him “Luna” directly.

Red from the coughing fit, Lucien replied with ragged breathing, “Cough... I am coming soon. Please let her in.”

Lucien barely stepped into the audience hall before Annalynne threw herself at her brother woefully.

“Lulu...!!!”

Lucien laughed while he pulled his sister into an embrace.

.....

“And I was just thinking about visiting you and Mom at Blue Hill City. Anna, what brings you here?”

Her happiness at seeing Lucien quickly faded, leaving a sullen expression on her face.

“I am here to take you home.”

“... Umm...”

Annalynne squeezed her brother’s hands and stared at him intently.

“Lulu, you still belong to the Clearwater family. It is not yet too late to break off everything with the two-timing bastard. I know that Kinnon is going to ask for your hand in marriage as soon as you get Ronan Silverback out of your life!”

Lucien’s eyes wandered to the two guards who stood by the door. He almost applauded them for keeping their poker faces despite hearing Annalynne’s words loud and clear.

Lucien sighed.

“Anna, come with me,” he hissed while dragging his sister with him to Ronan’s apartment. Thankfully, Ronan already went off to work early in the morning.

“Anna, you need to mind your position,” he chastised his sister as soon as they were alone. “You are an Alpha now. You can’t just roll into another pack’s pack house and badmouth the other Alpha in front of his pack members!”

Annalynne pursed her lips in displeasure.

“Maybe I do want them to know what kind of an unfaithful person their Alpha is! Like father, like son! Hmph!!!”

Lucien sighed again.

“Anyway, I can’t leave. If that’s all you come here for, I am sorry to disappoint you.”

Annalynne groaned and clawed into the air.

“Lulu! Arghhhhh!!!”

Seeing that his brother was not willing to go back to the Silent Walkers Pack with her, Annalynne deployed her Plan B.

“In that case, I want you to come with me to my scar removal appointment.”

Lucien raised an eyebrow.

“When?”

“Today. In three hours at St. Clarence.”

“...”

“Didn’t you say that you will still be my twin brother no matter what??? Are you not willing to accompany your twin sister on this traumatic event?”

What traumatic event?

The traumatic event was the one that caused the scar, and it was over months ago. If anything, this was a joyous event.

“I thought that you didn’t want to get rid of the scars,” Lucien pointed out.

“Well, now I do.”

“Because of Lowell?”

Blood shot to Annalynne’s cheeks in an instant.

“NO!” She blurted out. “I mean yes, he is part of the reason, but I mainly just want to be pretty again!”

“Oh, my baby sister,” Lucien chuckled. “You have always been pretty.”

Annalynne’s plan B worked wonders. Lucien called Ronan to inform him that he would be away to accompany Annalynne, but the latter was in a meeting.

“Would you like to leave a message, Luna?” Milroy asked on the other end of the line.

“Yeah, just tell Ronan that I will be at St. Clarence to accompany my sister.”

“Alright, Luna.”

By the time Lucien ended the phone call, Annalynne already grabbed Lucien’s coat and pushed him out of the door.

“Go, go, go!” She shouted excitedly.

For some reason, Lucien felt as if he was being kidnapped. Annalynne was just not being too obvious about it.

During the ride to St. Clarence, Annalynne could not stop chattering about Ronan Silverback’s despicable character.

“And you know what, Lulu? He hung up on me! That bastard hung up on me!”

Lucien could barely suppress his smile. Look at how energetic Annalynne was. If she had time to worry about Lucien’s love life, then she must have had no problem while settling into the Alpha seat. That was a relief.

“Why are you smiling?? What is so funny??” Annalynne demanded as they walked toward the cosmetic surgery department’s waiting room.

“Nothing,” Lucien replied while patting his sister’s head fondly. “So how is it going with Lowell?”

Annalynne turned pink again in an instant.

“Ohhhh what was that? It’s my turn. Bye Lulu! Please wait until I am done!”

She bolted away just like that. Chuckling to himself, Lucien shook his head at his sister’s retreating figure.

The man leaned back into his seat and stared at the hospital ceiling. It should not take too long now. He wondered whether Ronan already got out of his meeting or not. If he did, did Milroy share his message already?

Was Ronan going to be upset because he went away without any bodyguards?

He would surely scold him later when he got back home...

“AHHHHH!!!”

Lucien ripped his eyes open and turned his head toward the source of the noise.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

An elderly woman sat on the floor in a pitiful manner. A wooden cane with a pointy end lay one meter away from her.

“Madam, are you alright???”

Lucien quickly rushed toward the elderly woman to help her back on her feet.

“My... My cane,” she said with a hoarse voice, tapping blindly in the direction of her cane.

Lucien picked up the cane from the floor and handed it over to the elderly woman.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she looked up at Lucien, her eyes a beautiful color of greenish-blue.

“Thank you, child,” she beamed at Lucien while squeezing the latter’s arm.
