Chapter 17

Alessia's pov

The twinkling stars in the dark night sky was a serene sight to behold.

Actually, nothing was so special about it aside that it helped to dissipate the raving scorn that feasted on my nerves for hours now.

Despite my absurd resolve to perambulate the mansion all afternoon in hopes of catching Lycan Cyril’s return, it all came out to nothing. It burned my soul. Especially when that foolish smirk always crawled on Lance's lips each time we walked into each other.

Lycan Cyril sure gave him a treat, abandoning our conversation like that, didn't he?

I huffed, walking out of the balcony. A glass of fine wine should do the deal, or I might not be able to catch a good sleep tonight.

The chandeliers committed perfectly to their jobs, providing lights in every nook and cranny of the mansion even down to the basement. It was almost impossible to believe the world outside was in fact black.

I approached the cellar and it hit me that it was probably locked by now. It

    Chapter 18**Alessia's povI passed the empty tray of dishes over to Melanie who received it with a bow. Once I was left alone again, I decided to place a call to Eliza. I listened to the line ring continuously without connecting. I was going to make my third attempt when Melanie returned. ‘’Excuse me, my lady. Someone is here to see you.’’ She reported, her gaze downwards.My heart missed a beat. Has Lycan Cyril taken the lead to come and see me? I was barely in decent clothing. “Who is it?’’ I inquired.The door swung open before Melanie could respond, snatching both our attention. My eyes literally popped, but my shock switched to stun when Astrea showed up instead.“Good morning, Alessia.’’ She beamed, flickering her fingers at me. What the hell was she doing here?Before I could comprehend anything, she came in and was standing right before me.“May I have a seat?’’ “Uh…em sure.’’ I swallowed hard, adjusting on the bed for her. She sat, her gaze trailing around the room, lea

    Chapter 19Alessia's pov I was going to release a heavy scoff as scorn ate up to my cheeks, but the whiff of sandalwood scent crossing my nostrils caught air in my windpipe. Approaching footsteps echoed, unmistakably belonging to Lycan Cyril. I swivelled around to the direction he came, and I almost doubted my instincts when I saw two figures advancing instead. “Cyril.!’’ Astrea squealed, skimming over to give him a hug already. Lycan Cyril’s eyes briefly met with mine but I cut the contact immediately, looking away from them— not without the upsetting picture of his hand firmly gripping Astrea's waistline, etched in my head. “Hey! You didn't show up for breakfast, why is that?” I could imagine a scowl on Astrea's face without having to look.“Not now.’’ His tone, low and throaty, regarded her, almost causing a drip between like legs.“I just missed you.’’ Astrea mumbled like an offended toddler. I didn't miss the fact that they were now just a few inches from me. My grudging he

    Chapter 20Dinner was quiet. And it would have been fine if it was just quiet but tension shook the air. Astrea refused to say a word, very not like her. Probably because she was aware of the situation between I and Lycan Cyril, and she didn't support my action. “Excuse me.’’ I stood. I avoided Lycan Cyril’s direction the whole time, but somehow my gaze swatted at him. A sharp pain knotted my chest to see that he barely even spared a glance. “You're done?’’ Astrea asked. I managed a nod and pushed my way out. Why did it hurt so much? I'd been the one ignoring him after all and I should be happy he was now returning the energy. I didn't go to my suite. I couldn't go there. Not with my head in a spin and my system reacting against my wish. I strolled down to the cellar, grabbed myself a bottle of wine to drown my feelings. I gulped down the first content in one goal. Poured out another and just as the rim of the glass reached my lips, the door creaked open. My heart skipped in fe

    Chapter 21Lycan Cyril.I darted my eyes to meet hers, seriousness and determination etched in her beautiful brown eyes. I sighed, shook my head, and returned to my almost empty glass. “I'm dead serious right now.’’ She gritted. “Don't be silly, Astrea.’’ I scoffed, downing the last content before getting on my feets. Astrea rushed to block my path before I could move, but what I didn't expect was grabbing me into a hug. Within seconds, she pulled back and slammed her lips on mine in a rigorous kiss.I gently tried to pull away, but she wasn't planning to let go. I didn't want to hurt her. Astrea was more than just a friend to me. If I hadn't grown up with the knowledge that my fated mate has been specially distinguished with a certain feature, I'd have fallen in love with her at some point in our friendship. She was beautiful, sweet, elegant, and hailed from a strong Lycan bloodline. She possessed everything that fit the position of my Queen.“Stop.’’ I caught her wrist as she tr

I was sure I heard a gasp at the door. “What are you talking about?’’ His eyes were still as harsh as they were when he carelessly yelled aloud seconds before. He was clearly oblivious of what I was talking about. Taking quick calculated steps to the door, I leaned my ear against it but not a sound. I ignored my panicking heart and summoned some courage to pull it open, but there was not a single soul in sight. I was pretty sure I heard someone behind the door.Lycan Cyril suddenly snatched my arm, pulling me back and slamming the door shut. He locked it before facing me. “You have plans to make our connection a public knowledge now?’’ “Someone heard us, I pretty sure of it.’’ I panicked. “You can't be outside starting 8pm that night.’’ He blurted out. ‘‘What?’’ I caught his gaze.Somewhere deep in the hollow of my stomach, I appreciated his pretty caramel orbs.

    Chapter 23Alessia's pov “Uhh.’’ I chuckled awkwardly, cutting eye contact with her. “I just…I just feel more comfortable with less revealing clothings.’’ I proceeded with my steps, hoping to hide my anxiety from notice. I heard her scoff. “You say 'less revealing’ as if you manage a little revealing clothes at all. Look at you, all covered up down to your thighs. I mean you could wear strapless tops or even off-shoulders, it's what young Lunas put on.’’“I-I mean I could but I just don't fancy those such dresses.’’ I answered, uneasy, adjusting the V-neck line of my dress. She let out a huff. “The training ground is over there, let's go take a look.’’ We watched for quite a while, I found myself enjoying the warrior spar against each other until they suddenly stopped to acknowledge someone.“Lycan Cyril?’’ I called out in shock.“What's so shocking about it? He comes to spar with the warriors too, he also needs constant training.’’ Astrea explained beside me.Why didn't she seem

    Chapter 24Alessia's povAstrea rocked Lycan Cyril like her life depended on it. Their lips locked on each other's while they tried to catch their breaths, Lycan Cyril hands travelled all over her body. If I had arrived about three minutes later, I'd have met them in a heated sextual intercourse. I stepped back, and almost stumbled on my sandals. I grabbed a shelf immediately, causing some books to pour down. My heart plunged to the pit of my stomach, goosebumps propping all over my skin. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me when I looked up to meet their gazes.“I-im sorry I—didn't didn't mean to interrupt.’’ I struggled for breath. I dashed out quickly before any reaction came from them. Why did it hurt so much, Lycan Cyril and I were basically nothing. Of course he saw me as less if not that I happened to be his mate somehow. How could I have rated myself so much?My phone beeping interrupted my thought, I deeply appreciated the distraction. “Eliza!’’ I almost brok

    Chapter 25 Alessia's pov We walked down the passageway in silence, both of us reeling in our own worlds. ‘‘Where exactly are we heading to?’’ I broke the silence. “Uhm, I didn't give that a thought yet.’’ She sucked air from her teeth. “Have you been to the garden before?’’ ‘‘Not really.’’ “Shall we then?’’ She offered. “The garden at this time, I don't think it's safe.” I shook my head at the idea. “Alright we could just seat at the porch and take in the beautiful scents.’’ She shrugged. I said nothing more and just struded with her until we arrived at the supposed porch. This one wasn't familiar to me, I hadn't been out through the back of the mansion before. Thanks to the effectual bulbs, lights beamed adequately around here so it was possible to see the thin road amidst the field on the ground that led to the garden. It was pretty close to the porch just like Astrea had initiated. Blissful flowery scents constituted the air, it was a beautiful moment to experi

    Chapter 53Thompson's povMy blood boiled. My veins flamed with smokes, burning my insides. I badly want to shove a claw into the Lycan's idiotic face. It didn't faze me so much to hear Alessia address him by his first name. So many times she had attempted it in my presence. I wasn't so shocked. I knew something like this was on between them. I only tried to believe it was Alessia throwing herself on the Lycan. Call it selfish or whatever, I couldn't afford to bear a grudge towards the Lycan king considering the great advantages I earned from him. If he had remained quiet and just let me take Alessia away, we'd have been fine. Everything would have been okay even though I saw him kiss her back with so much enthusiasm. And it wasn't too late either. He could stop the fuss and not test my patience any further. But Alessia was definitely dying tonight. “Ain't you curious, Thompson?’’ He creased a brow, tilting his head as if to get a clearer access to read me. Why did my heart drea

The cold night wind brushed a few strands of hair on her face continously. “Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?’’ I creased a brow, tilting my head to watch her more intensely. “Cause I've probably just seen one.’’ She spoke, breathing out, and folding her arms. Her face changed to a serious expression. “You should be in bed now.’’ I stepped forward, but she stepped back, causing me to stop. I guess my gaze were questioning enough. “Why are you talking to me now, have I been invisible to you all these while?’’ She proffered rather defiantly. “Just ignore me like you have been doing all day.’’“Alessia,’’ I called calmly after a moment of silence, but she bursted. “Come to think of it, we're not even anything. Haven't I been so cheap, giving myself to you so many times out of my stupidity? Let's just end it here. Stop what you're doing and I'll be fine with time.’’ She paused to ta

    Chapter 51Alessia's pov “Where are you coming from?’’ Thompson demanded before I even shut the door after myself. I stood before the door, my heart confiscating a bit as my rehearsed lie rolled on my tongue. “I asked a question.’’ He fumed, his eyes gleaming with anger and resentment almost made me flop.“I slept out.’’ I swallowed, almost choking on my words. ”Out where?’’ Thompson advanced. “Didn't you need space? I gave you the space you desired.’’ I fired, my back hitting the door as I tried to stylishly step out. I forgot I'd shut the door after coming in earlier. Thompson grabbed my neck in a strong grip, causing my breath to cease in my nose pipes. “Where did you spend the night? Don't you dare lie to me.’’ His breath burnt against my skin. “There are a thousand other bedrooms in this mansion. I could choose to sleep in any if them like you did the first time we visited here.’’ I used his very own actions against him. My killer counter-attack point. His fingers tighte

  • Fated for the Lycan   HER ADVANCES

    Chapter 50Cyril’s POVI couldn't resist the heat of her presence, especially behind these confinement. No one, not even Thompson, could be allowed access to this floor. The only reason Alessia was allowed in here was the general knowledge in the mansion that she was my mate. There were CCTV cameras at the entrance passage and the elevator which of course was under the supervision of security bodies. She would have gotten stuck in the elevator until they came to get her out. I watched surprise and disbelief cross her alluring facial features, her lips perking up like she was going to say something but didn't know what. It'd been a grave burden forcing myself to ignore her. But if I had to get her in the next one month as planned, I needed to stick to the rules of the game plan. I knew it'd affect her. I saw the pain in her eyes every time I treated her like a lint in Thompson's presence. The goal was to make her realise how much she truly craved my attention, my admiration, and my

So there's no point of you following me around.’’ I stopped him before he took another step. “I'll take this as your dismissal then.’’ He squinted shortly and walked away. Sighing exhaustedly, I entered the room to see two maids already fixing my wnd Thompson's stuff in. “Melanie!’’ My face brightened as I recognised her as the first maid. “Welcome back, my lady.’’ She lowered her head. “We're organizing the place, please be a little patient. We'll be done in less than ten minutes.’’ Her manner of politeness was nothing short of awkward. Yes, she was usually polite but not in a distanced ma

They ruined everything in the first place after all. I drove back home and went straight into the shower. I thought I had gotten over Cyril, why the hell did I go numb in his arms?Pulling my towel to wrap myself, I stepped out of the bathroom dripping wet to meet Thompson on my bed. He stared for a while, his gaze sweeping down to my feets before coming back to linger on my thighs.“How was your hang out at the beach?” He asked. Not like he really cared to know.“Didn't you leave for the office this morning?’’ I asked back, a little surprised to see him. A chuckle left his lips, one I thought seemed rather weird. “There's really much you don't know about.’’ He remarked. His comment cut like a sharp slice against my chest. Quietly, I strode to my closet to get some clothing. I was at it w

I rushed to get us ice creams from the beachside itinerant trader. There was a small crowd of buyers, so I had to wait a bit until it was my turn. I got three portions for myself and the kids and returned to our spot, only to meet the picnic mat empty. My heart flew off immediately, my gaze darting to the sea. By any chance, did they go into the water?I couldn't get a glimpse of them from the number of people playing at the beach bank. There was no way they could have gone into the water, not after my strict warnings in the car. I dropped the plates of ice cream and began waltzing, asking anyone around if they found the two kids on the mat earlier. My heart exploded dynamite against my chest at every negative reply I got. “Over there, they left with their dad.’’ A young couple I asked pointed towards a beach house not down the beach..

She kept insisting on going with me to the meeting in place of Alessia. “So make me your Luna. Get rid of her and make me your Luna, Thompson.’’ She yelled, sending a sigh off my lips. We've been over this since yesterday. I don't know what knot missed in her head but for some reason she thought she could be Luna.“You know nothing.’’ I sniggered, fixing my watch. “What do you mean ‘I know nothing’? You think I'm not worthy of the Luna title.’’ She twisted. “Hey.’’ I turned from the mirror to face her. “Don't get me twisted. I'm saying, you can't handle the stress that comes with it. I don't want you to.’’ I quickly added. She let out an unbelievable scoff. ‘‘Let's get this topic over with. I've told you…’’ “You don't want to divorce her, right? Now I'm hating Alessia even more.

I felt my urge build harder at the sight, my length pushing against my pants. “Come here.’’ I demanded. “The kids are home today, we can't have the door unlocked.’’ She seeked and turned to lock the door, her ass bouncing effortlessly. “Get on your knees.’’ I loosened my belt, letting my firm choad out to her face. She swallowed it up immediately, working her small lips around my size. I couldn't hold back the grunt that escaped my throat. I hardened my muscles in a bid to stop myself from grabbing her hair. Why was she being so submissive now? She was driving me crazy. After putting in a deep thought, I realised Alessia was probably going to make a protest last night but I hadn't given her the chance to. I was out to confirm my observations, but she was pulling a whole different attitude yet again today. I had almost lost it when Annalise kept scre
