Maya shook her head as she wondered what negative thoughts had filled her head. No matter what, she would never kill Lucian or even try to hurt him. She would never do that. “We are anticipating the amazing meal!” She heard Eden yell out to her and Lucian only let out a loud laughter. She rolled her eyes as she dished out the food and headed to the living room with a fake smile on her face. She pretended to be happy when she was far from being happy. Well, that did not matter. ”It smells so great!” Eden squealed excitedly as she saw the food bring dished out. It made her so happy. “Sure it does. Maya is a good chef” He commented while waiting for them to start eating together. For the first time in so long, a real bright smile spread across her face. She was super happy and excited that he had commended her. If that was all she got at that moment, then she was fine with it. They had their meal, with each of them being happy, Maya being happy the most for the compliment she had rece
Shock was an understatement of how the two friends felt as they opened their mouth in shock. They had not believed it. Anger welled up in Maya and bile formed in her throat. Her eyes suddenly became teary but she tried to hold it back.“Oh Lucian” A warm smile formed on Eden’s face. He walked with a few numbers of maids with gifts in their hands.“This is my gift to you, our Alpha to congratulate you on your new position as the Alpha. “ He smiled warmly at her and bowed. The maids bowed as well.Jealousy was boldly written all over Eden’s face as she frowned. She squeezed her face tightly as she did not know what she wanted to say. She was so upset and jealous that she did not hide it anymore. No. she knew she had to be strong and save her tears for later.“Congratulations, my friend. I am happy for you” Maya greeted even though it was obvious in her tone that she was not happy. Eden nodded excitedly as she was happy.“Did you both plan this? Did you know about this?” Eden smiled w3id
Maya stopped confused. She did not want to listen to anything. She was so upset and it was visible all over her face. “Hold on” He pulled her again, making sure no guard was looking at them nor any maid. Even if they were, he was definitely not going to say a word. “What on earth do you want from me? Stay away from me!” She yelled angrily. “Come on, hold on! Listen to me” He pulled her to himself and for the first time, she pushed him away, not wanting to have anything to do with him. “You want her, right?! Go get her!” She yelled, walking away angrily. “Lower your voice.” He pulled her again. She had begun to breathe heavily as she was already exhausted. She stopped and stared into his eyes. She looked away immediately and pouted her lips. “Listen babe” He pulled her face closer. “I did it for us. I did this for us” He managed to say. “Don’t play with me. Don’t you dare play with me. You gave her
Eden looked at the beautiful reflection of herself in the mirror. She looked like a Queen. The gown fitted her so well that it looked like it was cut out for her specifically.“How do I look?” She asked the maids who smiled back. They were impressed as well. She was looking so amazing.“You look like a Greek goddess” One of them commented, making her smile. Her heart was gladdened. That was exactly what she liked to hear. “You look like the Alpha that you are. Adorable and exquisite. Lord Lucian is indeed lucky to have you as his woman” Another commented. A saddening smile formed on her face. He was indeed lucky to have her. He wished it was really true. She wished he had her for real.She nodded and plastered a fake smile on her face. The conversation went on and on and she was gladdened as each maid ad something beautiful to say about her outfit. That was exactly what she wanted but her heart longed for more. She wanted to know what Lucian had to say. She wanted to hear what it was
Maya’s gaze landed on a maid that stared at them from a distance like she had heard what they were discussing. She heaved a sigh of relie as the maid smiled. Of course, there was no way the maid could have heard what he said. “Till whenever this is going to stop, refrain from saying what is between us. Refrain from seeing it just anywhere that this relationship is a sham” He instructed her, keeping his voice low.“Okay” She nodded as she tried every possible best to avoid his gaze. ”By the way, when is this going to stop?” She asked, demonstrating with her hands. “Till when we feel it is time we stop” He answered almost immediately. She nodded in approval as she had nothing more to say again.She walked away quickly, heading back to her room to get out of the outfit she was dressed in. The next day was going to be a big day so she knew she had to prepare for it.Lucian nodded and walked away as well. He knew they had to visit the elders so without saying a word to each other, each p
Maya’s mother got scared as she saw the action her daughter exhibited. Of course, she was not shocked as that was not the first time she did something like that but she was quite worried as she did not expect it from her at that moment. A frown formed on her face immediately. Her daughter had just thrown one of her shoes at the glass jar that she had just purchased a couple of weeks ago. That was the umpteenth time she was getting that same jar. Every previous one she had gotten had been broken by Maya.That was her way of expressing her anger. She gritted her teeth as she sat down angrily. A frown formed on her face immediately as she sat down, fuming. “What is the matter?” Her mother questioned, moving closer to her and trying to talk to her.“Do not talk to me, Mother!” She yelled angrily, making her mother mve back a little bit, startled. Her breathing was more on the high side.Her mother walked back to where she was sitting. It was not a new habit. She would talk to her when
Eden flung her eyes open as she could not believe what had happened. Her heart had begun to race like it was going to pop out that minute. She looked around and it was still too early. It was still dawn. “Are you okay?” Lucian asked staring at her. Coincidentally, he was still awake at that time. Or perhaps he had woken up instead. “I do not want to be Alpha anymore” She confessed, fear visible all over her face. Lucian hurriedly put on the light at their bed side to see if anything was wrong with her. She was already drenched in her own sweat. Beads of perspiration formed on her face as she looked so worried. “What do you mean? What are you saying? What happened?” He questioned her, furrowing his brows and coming closer to her as the distance between them was a bit much. The bed was a king sized one and each of them were positioned at the end of the bed. “Do not come near me!” She yelled, taking him aback as he wondered what had gone wrong. She could not have definitely known his
Eden furrowed her brows as she was trying to process what she had just heard. What was he saying? “I want you to stay. I want you to hold on” He managed to say. “Hold on, hold on till when?” She cried. “I am ired of living in this façade. I keep getting hurt each time” “Why?”“Because I love you!“ Lucian tried to hid his disbelief. Eden held her mouth as she did not know what to say. She had said it subconsciously. How would it sound to her friend that she had feelings for him? How would it sound to him? She held her mouth as she realized what he had said. “i… I am sorry, I….” She tried to say but no words refused to leave her mouth anymore. She had been so disappointed kn herself and she was embarrassed as well. She had convinced herself that she would carry that secret to the grave. She could no understand what had come upon her that made her confess her feelings. Just then, a knock on the door interrupted them. Lucian tried to discard whoever was at the door but Eden wanted
