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
Lucien's POV She didn't say another word , just got up and walked out quickly from my office. Not even sparing a glance back at me. She didn't care and it was so obvious in the careless way she treated our new bond. Leaving me when I needed her support the most, cracking my soul in two and leaving me bleeding out to suffer alone. I gave her my heart just to have her toss it back at my feet like it was garbage. I was a fool.The hurt burned in my chest like it had been pierced by a silver knife. I had allowed myself to think she cared about me and now my heart was breaking because I let her in. All the progress I thought we had made wasn't real, the run we had together quickly forgotten when she saw her lover. The imitate touches and words ripped me apart , but I still watched silently at the interaction between them. Fighting back the urge to rip him to pieces the entire time for touching what was mine and speaking to her as if she was his. She was mine not his , the moon goddess had
Alisha's POV I've been sitting in this hard ass chair listening for the last hour as Lucien and my dad kept pounding into my head all the reasons leaving for back home was really a bad idea. How many times do they think repeating the same thing over and over again is going to help no matter how they kept rewording it. First off , I got it the first time but try telling that to any male who thinks it too complicated a situation for a female brain to understand. I can understand why Lucien is doing it because he doesn't know shit about me really but my dad that's another story. He knows how quick I understand things , he's must really be stressing over it is the only reason I can think of.I've sat here giving them both the best resting bitch face I have and yet the talk is still going on about all of the dangers. OK, I'm done here."You can both just stop now , I get it OK , I understood it the first ten times you went over it but you both just kept on and on. I was waiting for you bo
Alisha's POV The rest of the day the only person I saw was my dad and a few pack members who didn't bother to spare me an glance. We took our meals alone, Lucien choosing to avoid any contact with me. Fine, Dad was enough company for me anyway. Now dad isn't a chatty person but he's a good listener and I talked about everything but Lucien. He nodded as I relayed my phone call with Paola acting interested in our girl talk. Living with three females had trained him well for this role. All that female hormones surrounding him poor man had to do it to survive. We called it a early night, Mom would be here around noon tomorrow and I couldn't wait to see here. Sleep on the other hand didn't come easy, my brain refused to shut down until I was just too exhausted to keep my eyes open. I finally crashed around three and was up by seven. I've been trying to entertain myself since then without any luck. So dressed and ready I waited alone in the living area spread out on the couch.There was
Alisha's POV I sobbed like a three year old baby, all snot nosed and blubbering as I let it all out. My mom being here was just the trigger to release all my emotions. She didn't say another word , part of me knew my parents were mind linking as she held me tight against her body. I'm sure Dad relayed the basics going on with me. He had told me he didn't tell her everything because he didn't want her to worry being so far away. I'm sure Mom will lecture him later for that, she isn't one who likes being left out of the loop. Right now all that matter to me was both of my parents were here by my side. I needed to feel that love from them because I was feeling pretty unlovable at his point. It was my fault and there was no one else to lay the blame on. I had accepted that fact but it still hurt deep inside of me. I am so fucked up and that made me cry even harder. I'm not sure how long we were outside , it may have been only minutes I had no conception of time. As I started to settle d
Alisha's POV I soon found myself between both my parents standing back in front of Lucien's office door, I felt like a wayward child being taken to the principals office . In a way I was, my parents were determined to talk out the issues I had with my "mate" including themselves in the conversation. We were all going to be in this pack for a undetermined amount of time and according to Mom she "Didn't want this hanging over everything the whole time" . I couldn't argue with her logic , because if I had to be here for months and that was very possible at this point. I couldn't deal with the stress of avoiding each other, I would go nuts and take everyone down with me.Mom didn't hesitate as she stood there and knocked softly. She and Dad had been exchanging looks all the way here as I tried to drag my feet to slow this awful moment. How bad is this going to look, a naughty mate having my parents (more so my mother) trying to step in and solve our problems. I'm going to come off lookin
