Alisha's POV I just stared at him after that statement, watching his face and thinking how nice it would be to give it a hard punch. I had forgotten just for a moment about that incident and now realize I still had that shit to deal with. Should have figured nothing was going to be easy anymore, everything for me has been a shit storm ever since I came back from the states. Part of me wishes I had stayed in Montana with my sister but my career goals are a priority in my life. Right now I don't even know where that stands after everything that's happen. All I can do is survive one day to the next and my future goals are sitting on the back burner. Do I even have a future anymore.I have to get too many other important things settled first and one of the main things is Alpha Lucien. As I meet him eye to eye , I have no idea what to do about him. So I sit here across from my true mate and I find myself questioning all the decisions that led me here. I was once so sure and confident abou
Alisha's POVIt's been over two hours since my conversation with my mate Lucien and I still haven't cooled down totally. His attitude about genders is making me grind my teeth, how could the moon goddess pair me with such a backwards male. The world I live in doesn't work with gender roles like that and I will never accept that kind of restriction. I suppose if we mated he'd want to keep me barefoot and pregnant, cleaning house and baking cookies . That is not who I am , nor will I ever be in the future. It's fine for those who want to do that but that's not me. Women should have just as much a choice in the path of their lives as men. I've met women in power who out shined many males in the same roles. We aren't just weak creatures needing a man to lead us around like some pet on a leash. Granted there are some females I grew up with that wouldn't survive without someone leading them around but I've known men too like that. We are all different and should be treated like the indivi
Lucien's POV I stormed out of that room as fast as my feet could take me, I knew that if I stayed another minute I'd shift and go ballistic. My control was almost slipping away rapidly. She was supposed to be mine, I was supposed to be the ONLY one touching her body in that way. My true mate betrayed me and I couldn't stand to be in the same room as her at that moment. Sure I said some hateful things but I never expected that behavior from her. She threw it right back in my face , standing up to be and not backing down. No female has ever done that to me before and it shocked me. Her attitude is so unlike the females in my pack, she demands respect and refuses to let her thoughts be ignored. I had thought she was going to be the quiet female I meet that first day.When I first saw her that day, coming out of the backseat of that car my heart stopped in my chest. She was beautiful, her emerald green eyes looking at me some innocently as they peered into my soul. I saw nothing but he
Alisha's POV The sound of those screeching alarms was deafening , with enhanced hearing it was so much worse. I felt like my eardrums were going to burst and I wanted to scream right along with them. I hate loud noises and this was horrible. The only good thing about it was it gave me more time to think about my answer . Everyone's attention was now on what was happening around us and off of me. I didn't mind it one bit, in fact they could just forget about it. I'm not going to say anything if they don't. I could see Lucien mind linking someone , his face became hard as his eyes narrowed in on me. Damn you'd have thought I killed someone, well yeah I didn't technically but not since I've been in here. This time no one could accuse me of anything, I've been locked up for the last three days in here and my every move was monitored by cameras constantly. For once I was glad of my circumstances, one less thing to be blamed for and the video was my alibi. The alarms shut off almost as
Alisha's POV That fucking bitch.She didn't like me from day one and made that very clear to anyone who would listen. The mistake I made was thinking it was all talk . I underestimated her and I'll never make that mistake again. Damn she is evil. Note to self, never ignore that little voice inside your head when it tells you someone is bad. The one thing I'm not sure about is why she would let Alvan go free, what purpose was there to that. Someone didn't think that action all the way through obviously. Was she hoping it would be blamed on me? Tie me in with my murderous lover's actions? Or maybe justify her accusations about me and the death of that male who attacked me. Of course I'm just guessing but I hope to get a chance to be there when she's questioned. "Do you have any idea why your mother would do such a thing?" Dad was just as curious as I was about her behavior. "None at all , but I'll get that answer soon enough." Lucien said before mind linking someone again. He was
Alisha's POV Lucien reached out for my hand, his arm extended and his palm up as he waited for me to take it."Let's go ma ange (my angel) " His dark sable eyes peering into mine , the deep look spoke volumes to my heart. I placed my hand in his and the instant warmth of the contact was like a direct link to my heart (and other places further south on me). What can I say , this man just lights a fire in my body with minimal contact. Must be something to do with the whole mate bond thing and I can't say I don't enjoy that part of it. It's very intense when it happens."I'm going to have to learn French aren't I ?" I smile at him "Every time you speak it I feel like l'm missing something important. " His voice is soft and seductive to my ears. He just gives me that pantie melting look , the same one he gave me the first day we met. "I would be honored to teach you mon amour (my love)" As he pulls gently on my hand encouraging me to my feet. I stand beside him now and we prepare to h
Alisha's POV Lucien opened his office door at the exact moment my Uncle had his hand up to knock on it. We stood there for a moment just looking at each other, each a little surprised to see each other. I knew I'd have to see him soon but wasn't expecting him to be right there."Alisha, I was hoping you were here. I'd like to speak with you if you'd allow me to. " He looked sincere . I just nodded my head before backing up into the room again. Once we are all inside, Lucien shuts the door to give us privacy from anyone who could be passing by. "You can stay if you'd like " He addressed Lucien "I won't keep her very long. " Lucien hadn't looked like he was planning on leaving even if he hadn't said that. It was his office after all and I'm sure he wanted to hear what my uncle had to say. He was very protective of me now and after my last encounter with my Uncle he knew I wasn't on good terms with him.I was still pissed at him, jumping to conclusions and putting out my business for
Alisha's POVI just stood inside that building, hiding from the world outside and wondering how my life ended up here like this. I had mixed feelings about Alvin before and even now it wasn't any clearer. I did know we would never see each other again and that chapter in my life was done. There was a big empty hole in my heart from losing him that much I knew. He was a good friend to me and I cared about him. I didn't love him like he did me, but I didn't want to hurt him either. I've never had to deal with so much in my old closed world and now Bam it hits me hard again upside my head. Ever since my eyes were opened to the supernatural world nothing has gone right. Now more than ever I wish I was back home in my parents home the innocent little girl being watched over and cared for, ignorant of the world hidden around me. The only worry I had was what to wear to school the next day and having to make sure my homework was done. It was so simple then and none of this adult supernatura
