Fated to love you 100: A ploy of deceit and Shadows.
Lola noticed the shift in my mood immediately. From the look of things, it seemed Charles did too because the moment I looked away he reached for my hand but on reflex I deflected it. My thoughts were swirling around in a confused motion and I couldn't decide what to believe or what not to believe. Maybe I was simply overthinking but it was crazy to think of what was happening. Was it even possible? A fresh string of rage hit me once more. Did he really fool me by keeping me for so long in the dark?Would Lucas do this to me? Was I nothing but a plaything to them? someone they could conveniently deceive and go Scott-free?I took another step back and placed my hands on my head in pretense."Um, you know what? You guys can go ahead without me, I suddenly developed a splitting headache and it hurts like hell to move" I lied. "Are you okay?" Lola piped, her concern shining through her voice and her scrunched-up face so much that I felt instantly guilty for lying to her and making her w

I didn't know who ended the call but at the moment I couldn't bring myself to care at all. Tears flowed from my eyes on their own accord and it didn't give me a reason to know if they were worth it or if they were not.It hurt that my one friend other than Lola was nothing but a bodyguard all along. Showing up at the most random places and acting like our meeting was purely coincidental. It stung like hell. But looking at it in hindsight I could see how perfectly orchestrated the whole thing was, even though at the moment I had written it off as nothing but a mere coincidence, Was anything even real? The night we met, he said he had been out and running too, but was that the truth? How many of our encounters have been premeditated and planned but painted to me as a coincidence which I happily bought into?My heart stung at the thought. Once more, ir suddenly made so much sense why I was paired with Lucas for the Alumni event. Because of what I knew now, I also knew that it really was

The first thought I had as the door of the car was opened for me was that, somehow, I had completely forgotten about Mac for a second and how quiet he had been since I got to school.This second thought was more treacherous, but it felt more like mine, like something that was born out of deep resentment and anger. Maybe this betrayal was good for me to finally steel my heart against the guilt tugging my heart at the thought of tricking Lucas into giving me some useful information. Deceiving him the exact way he had treated me by leaving me in the dark.But they were merely thoughts. Harmless imaginations, my brain strung and conjured together to justify the anger and rage it felt. There were no actions stringed to them, attached to the heap of these words, and it was so easy to think, but the execution was the difficult part. My fingers shook slightly as I was ushered into the grand building. For some reason, I had anxiety about all that was going to unfold. I didn't want to hear anyt

"What do you mean?" I walked closer to him. It was easier to read his facial expression from upclose but it made me more feel things I had no business feeling, like compassion and sympathy because several emotions swirled in his blue orbs and for a second, for a moment of weakness I thought he looked ridiculously vulnerable. His back was turned against me in an instant, I reached out to touch his shoulders but my hands froze mid-air. What the hell was I doing? I was the victim here.This wasn't what I planned and hoped today would be, and why were positions shifting in an instant? How did I somehow feel the urge and need to comfort him?"How can I trust you?" My voice wavered. It was thick but small with emotions "How can I take every word you say as a meter of truth and without deceit? You say you sent Charles to protect me, and I matter the most to you, but has it ever occurred to you that I am not yours? I am mates with Mac! The same person you keep talking about like he's the de

I walked out of his office with my body vibrating from all the pleasure I received only moments ago. I still hadn't recovered from it.I couldn't pinpoint the exact second he lost control, but I could tell that he had. There was something about that kiss that was feral and wild, something that had us both intertwined and too deep in it that nothing else mattered.I tried to catch my breath as I sat in the lobby outside his office and I tried to stop the blood flowing to my cheeks. There was no denial that they were flushed. Just like how my full lips were twice the size and so soft. I dragged my teeth over them as the scene replayed in my mind. Something down there was wet. The feeling was new and it felt obscene. The thought had me blushing and for once I was grateful no one was seated with me in the lobby because then they would see the look on my face, and they might catch on but I would die of mortification. The realization of what had just happened dawned on me in tiny bits: one

"Do you trust me?" He whispered once more.But I could barely hear the words. The myriad of emotions that danced in his eyes captured me like a spell and I couldn't find my lungs to breathe. They were missing now that I needed them the most. He stepped aside and soon his fingers were off me, his eyes too. "Do you trust me?" He repeated, staring after the blank floor now between us as if he was steeling himself for the answer he already knew was coming."I-I-I don't know!" I suddenly found my voice. He nodded then turned on his way out. before he stopped. Then whipped his head toward me in a swift motion, with raw urgency. Hie blue eyes lit up like electroity"You came for me" His voice was coarse and thick with emotions and restraint ad he continued. "I can still smell it all over you. You poured out like a sweet little thing for me." He took a step toward me and a step back immediately, he seemed to be in a confused state of what to do. He shook his head and once more turned to me

Bonus Chapter Lucas’s POV" Get Out Now!' I growled like the beast I was wrestling with inside. My wolf was threatening to take over and claim her immediately as the sweet smell of her arousal wafted through the air. It took every single ounce of self-control to hold back the beast in me from eating her flesh and marking her as mine. But I didn't want it to be done that way, not when so many things were unsettled and unclear, not when I wasn't even sure she wanted me at all. But perhaps want was too far-fetched. I wanted to know if she trusted me. If she has believed a single word that came out of my lips. Seeing her in the arms of Mac tainted the sacred kiss we once shared and It made me so reluctant to repeat the cause of action but my body couldn't stay so far away from her, not when she was near me smelling like the most lovely thing on the planet. I needed to know that she was mine and mine alone, I couldn't bear to share her, to see her this moment in my arms and the next mom

Bonus Chapter Lucas’s POVShit!I inhaled deeply and straightened my back, mentally preparing myself for what I was about to do. I was no coward and if this was what it took to finally know where I stand then it had to be done. I changed my stance from the relaxed one to a rigid and professional one at once. "Yeah, we have some pack members in Germany working to close the deal," I said and then there was silence.While I nodded as though Mark was saying something sensible to me. In those moments of silence, I prayed for her to walk in, to open the door, or say something because I could now smell her just outside the door. The lack of action on her path told me everything I needed to hear. She was straining her ears against the door, she was eavesdropping. DamnSomething broke in my chest, the sound was quiet but I felt it as sharp as the loudest crack. But I had to keep going. I gritted my teeth "Oh no no, the deal is almost sealed. we are merely in negotiations with the alpha on h

Fated to love you 154: I was always yours.
After the very intense and romantic dinner, which mainly consisted of Lucas staring at me with his electric blue orbs and me trying not to puke everything that had entered my belly due to the intensity in his eyes, he led us quietly back into the room where I perched awkwardly at the edge of the bed. "Where is everyone?" I whispered. I couldn't help but note the differences between his and Mac's houses. No pack members were sprawling around here, and no slaves or workers were moving to do his bidding. I was curious: was this how he lived as an Alpha?"I dismissed them," Lucas replied, dispersing the chaos in my mind. That made sense, I thought. Lucas continued to stare at me with something like longing in his eyes, and I had no idea what to do. He had said nothing would happen tonight, so why did he stare at me like that?As if sensing my thoughts, his long fingers wrapped around my jaw smoothly. " Don't think too much, just stay here with me." "What attracted you to me?" I whisper
Fated to love you 153: Glitters and Magic
"Oh, my goodness! I've told you, Amanda, I'm not going for something extra and shiny; I want something simple and nice!" She smirked as she handed me yet another one of her extravagant dresses. "You mean something cute and sexy?" My face went up in flames. "Oh my god! Amanda! For the hundredth time, we are not doing anything tonight!" "Oh yeah, and that's why you are spending the night with him?" "Urghhhh," I whinnied, covering my face with my hands at her absolute morbidity. It was practically impossible to win with this girl. In her most innocent voice, she added, "Well, since you claim it is nothing sensual, then you probably wouldn't want to wear a dress like this." She held up a red dress, and I lost my breath. "That's it," I whispered, and with one final squeal, I ran into the bathroom to get changed. At exactly seven pm, the doorbell rang, and Amanda ran excitedly to open it while I finished up my outfit. Spritzing perfume and taking deep breaths. I walked out to
Fated to love you 152: You are spending the night with me.
Two weeks later, there was no word from Lucas. If I had not seen the weary news and heard the whispered rumors I would have been scared, but now I was more upset than anything. His plans were already in motion. It was one downfall to the other of the Ashen subsidiaries, and the tabloid made sure everyone knew. Between clans, they could tell that things were looking bad for the Ashens. Even though they played all the cards they had, Lucas was smarter, strategically utilizing all his inside men to break down the very foundation of their business. Father kept us updated as he continued working there, despite the fresh rage I had seen in his eyes after that discussion and the hunger for revenge for Mom. He kept us updated on the incessant fights that kept happening while also trying to gather some men who were formally of our pack before they became slaves as a means of survival. I sighed for the fifth time, watching as the red mother broadcaster spoke about an outbreak of fire in the
Fated to love you 151: It all comes together.
When I got in, Father pulled me into a big, tight hug that left me both shocked and in awe, and I went to bed tipsy with happiness and the euphoria of everything that had happened. Finally, it felt like everything was all coming together, so for that night, I swallowed the questions I had for Father and basked in the sheer joy in the air, falling asleep with a huge smile on my face and a weight lifted from my chest. Soon, very soon, we will all witness the heavy downfall of Mac and the entire Ashen family. ****** The smell of pancakes and bacon that wafted through the air the next morning told me of my sister's arrival. Father must have called them over last night, and that could only mean that we were having a family meeting. I jumped down from the bed, excited to see them and eat delicious food after such a long time. "Fiona darling," Giselle's slender arms wrapped around me as I stepped into the kitchen, looking as ivory and as beautiful as ever with that flowery scent that ma
Fated to love you 150: It is settled now baby.
The ride home was silent and filled with the many words and thoughts running through our minds. I finally had enough time to process everything Lucas told me, which was a lot. The plan was for him to drop me off, but I knew I was going to tell my family the truth about everything that occurred many years ago and find out why Father hid so many things from me. Even if Lucas was fine with being the bad guy and being blamed for things he had no hand in, I wasn't okay with it, and I needed to get it out.I glanced at the brooding man on the wheel. Ever since we managed to pry ourselves apart and his almost confession, he had been unusually quiet and even more brooding, like he was lost in thought in a space of his own, and I had no idea how to reach him. "What's going on?" I asked, turning to face him and taking him in more; we had spent the past days together, yet he still looked handsome in a new way. I still couldn't get over how handsome he was. I didn't think it would ever be somet
Fated to love you 149: You would be the end of me.
Somehow the kiss transcended from my little kiss as Lucas took control, fighting with every urge in his body against his wold from ripping my clothes and taking me, and I could feel it in every strain as he deepened the kiss, picking me up from the floor, I wrapped my legs instinctively around his waist as I went in for more, grabbing a handful of his shirt. The desire I felt eroded my senses, but I knew it was nothing compared to the one a person with full access to his alpha wolf felt; all I got from my wolf was an intense need and constant purring, which rang out as moans as Lucas raked his hands hastily from my back to my waist repeatedly.Carefully and still deep in the kiss, he led me back into the room till I was dropped softly against the soft sheets and towered by him. My heart seized as I stared at his almost black-blue eyes now, electricity running up and down his blue orbs and desire fueling them so passionately I felt dizzy for a second. My own need propelled me to wrap m

"No," Lucas thundered, taking my soft fists in his large ones. I expected this, so I didn't budge. I added calmly, "I wasn't asking for your permission, Lucas. I was simply letting you know I am all in on this." "I don't want to drag you down this path. The Ashens are ruthless and very crafty. You are not ready, and I would hate for any harm to come to you on my account." "You think I don't know they are ruthless? Do you think I have no idea how crafty they can be when I have been a victim myself? I am well aware, and it is my knowledge that fuels my anger." I paused, inhaling deeply. "I, too, have been offended, and I am itching for my revenge, So train me or protect me. Whatever makes you feel better, but know that I will not sit and watch idly, and I will make Mac pay whether or not you let me in on this. I will beat him at his own game," I fought. He stared at me warily for a while before heaving a breath and nodding. "I will not put you in harm's way, but I will train you we
Fated to love you 147: Bring hell to the Ashen Clan
Lucas didn't come in for at least twenty minutes, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about the big bulge in his pants when he walked out of the room. I had felt it earlier when I laid down, and now it has become the most fascinating and most terrifying thing to me, but I just couldn't breathe my head to kick out the thought.I lay beneath the duvet, covering my red-coated face and my swollen lips from the past few minutes, my heart was still racing as though I had just run a marathon, and particles of the lightheadedness I felt when Lucas was kissing me still remained. I missed him immediately when he left, as he walked out of the door, as soon as his hands left my body. I came to the slow realization that my feelings for Lucas were rapidly changing into something big and beyond my control it was only a matter of time before they blew up in my face. The air in the room still smelled like him, like wood and soap and masculine sweat and for a second I imagined hi
Fated to love you 145: "For you I can be gentle"
Lucas caught up with me in no time, but I refused to give in when his large arms encircled me again. I thrashed against his body and bumped into trees hoping to scratch and loosen his death grip on me. "I'm sorry, Fiona, But listen, Hear me out first," He said, not sounding a minute breathless or like someone carrying a thrashing girl. "No, let me go!" I thrashed and kicked around the open air "You're only going to hurt yourself, Fiona," Lucas growled. " Stay put and listen to what I have to say for your own sake." "No, you listen to me, Let. Me. Go." I protested. Lucas sighed and wrapped his hand even firmer around my torso. "Why do you choose the wrong times to be stubborn and throw a tantrum? Do you have any idea how difficult it has been for me to watch you fawn over someone as horrible as Mactervish?" He scoffed, then continued in a ludicrous manner, "Or should I speak about how worried I have been every second that you have spent with him? dined with him, sat with him, a
