"I know what you heard" Lucas whispered breaths away from my face. "I know everything "My eyes widened in shock. "You do?""Yes, I do. It was a trap too" A gasp escaped my lips. I flung my head away from his tender touch. My eyes watering instantly as the realization of everything dawned on me. "All this while....""Yes, I knew. I just wished you didn't break my heart that way, I wished you trusted me enough to believe my intentions were true""I'm sorry" I sobbed "I know" "Will you punish me?" I asked through tears "What?" He sounded incredulous. "No Fiona, I won't " His large arms cupped my face and he wiped the tears streaming down gently " Shhh It's all in the past" I flung myself into his arms once more."Wait, how many people were in on this plan?" I asked on his hard Rock chest. "Just Mark and I" Lucas replied, then thinking of the question he turned to me with a raised eyebrow "Why?" "The people who captured me, they wanted to know what I knew about you. it's almost li
"Fiona!" I felt large hands on my back rubbing soothing circles. I opened my eyes and the burning sensation vanished at once. I breathed in deeply and placed my hands against the bark of the tree nearby to catch my breath. "What happened?" Lucas asked, searching my entire face with worry evident in his blue eyes."It was burning, everywhere was burning. It felt like I was on fire" Lucas nodded and wiped my face. "It can feel like that sometimes, but you have to remember that you're the one in control, you're in charge. You and your wolf are one. You can control the fire and make it all go away." "H- How?" The sensation was coming back in little waves and I closed my eyes instantly, trying to concentrate and push it further down"Just focus and connect with her, she's waiting to meet you"I closed my eyes and tried my hardest to reach into that warm and fuzzy feeling. At first it burned so hot that I almost flung myself onto a tree, but then I willed it to stop, and somehow it did.
I didn't see Lucas when I turned, neither did I see a fleck of that white mane but after a few minutes I felt large paws propel me forward and my legs began to run as though they had a mind of their own.Breeze fanned my hairy face as I dashed across the forest, I felt like laughing. the feeling was so exhilarating. Now that I was in sprint I could hear Lucas running side by side as I jumped through the trees and leaped across large expense of land. The feeling was inhumane, so exciting for a moment I thought I was flying then I decided to climb trees and see how high I could go. I jumped from branch to branch filled with the euphoria of a starving child who had just been given a meal, if I had my voice I would have screamed till the sun came down. Who knew being a wolf was this good, who knew it felt this good. Lucas was always somewhere behind me observing as I explored my new identity with euphoria like never before. I didn't stop to question or listen to him as I dashed around
The next morning I woke up feeling a lot better and more refreshed. Lucas and I trained nonstop, and I got more and more acquainted with my mate, but sadly the next day, we had to leave.I had missed too much schoolwork, and Lucas had an empire to run. Even though I was unsure whether or not I was ready to face the outside world and all that it brought along, Lucas assured me that Charles would not be far from me and he would protect me this time, and I trusted him. But it didn't make things any easier. I had been traumatized, and I couldn't help the knowledge that one of the first things he would do as soon as he got home was to make the people responsible for my pain pay dearly for it. It pleased me more than I was willing to admit. The end of our stay was gradually approaching, and finally, the day was here when Lucas was convinced that I was completely ready. "Are you sure you're okay?" Lucas asked for the fifth time that hour, One arm was holding onto the steering wheel, and th
I didn't know what Lucas told Charles, or what his specific orders were but since I came back he has been following me around like a fly. Also Lola has been making sure we spend as much time as possible, it was as though the duo had some secret agreement to never let me out of their sight and to be fair I couldn't complain. I waited for weeks, checking if they would go back to their routine and spend time without me but it rarely ever happened and it was becoming a drag quite frankly. The fact that the sexual tension they felt for each other still hung in the air while the three of us spent time together made me feel like I was intruding something ..... intimate. What was worse was that it even extended over night sometimes, Charles would spend the night in our room and I would force myself to not think about all the things they were doing on that bed, all the things I wanted to do with someone. I knew for a certain that Charles had figured out that I caught him yet we never spoke
As quickly as the crowd gathered, they soon dispersed. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Mac's men infiltrate the place, searching for what I imagined was the guy, and turning things back to normalcy, I glanced at the person still standing in front of me. His eyes were on me, and he looked angry, but when has he not been angry? This was the first time in months we were coming in contact, and It didn't hurt that much until I thought about it right now. He was supposed to be my mate, but what was he really? Did he even know that I was kidnapped? Did he notice my absence? Would anyone have come to save me if Lucas had not come? I shook my head; that was a hole I didn't want to sink into, not tonight anyway. we could pretend we were strangers just like we famously did all the while. I stepped aside to walk past him, and then I felt his stiff hands grip my arm. Electricity shock raged through my entire arm, lighting up in small sparkles that left tinges all the way down my body. I
Maybe someone had told him, or he heard it somehow, I mean it wouldn't be surprising to me. He was an Alpha all. I wanted to make excuses for him. I so badly wanted him to take back those words and not utter them again until I told him, then maybe feign ignorance, but it was too late for that now; he had said it, and all that could happen was for him to convince me that he knew this some other way. "How did you know?" My voice quivered. A wave of Shock came over his numb features quickly for a second, and then it was gone. "I heard my men whispering something about it a few days ago. I thought it was merely a joke. I didn't believe it because it was bullshit. Who would dare to lay hands on something that belonged to me? Not anyone who wants to live for sure." He brought his eyes up to meet mine, I searched them hastily looking for some atom of truth in his words, something to hold on to but I found nothing I was searching for. " But tonight, sensing your bruises and seeing how f
The thing about being in the middle of two powerful people is that you always have to choose one, and your choice most times determines the course of your life forever. After watching Mac's frightening display, it seemed my thoughts for him began to soften at the prospect that he cared for me. But he had been so violent, completely blanked out for a second, but could I judge him for that? The love of his life was kidnapped. Or at least his mate was, so he was bound to blackout, right? And just because I didn't see Lucas with bloody and bruised fingers batter his men and snap their necks didn't necessarily mean he was the lesser evil, right? I sighed as I climbed the stairs up to my dorm. I was still shaken from the things I had witnessed and knew I had to filter certain parts of the story because I didn't want to scare my only friend and roommate; Lola made things seem even more miserable. "Oh my goodness, I was so worried!" Lola rushed over to me at once the moment I stepped into
