"Lucian!" She called out his name, knocking across the door. She held her breath in anticipation, it had been hours since they last saw each other. She felt herself longing for his presence with each passing second. The calm atmosphere was adorned with classical music playing softly in the background as the front doors creak open, revealing Lucian the strikingly handsome man in his early twenties. He exuded charm and confidence as he stood there, dressed impeccably in tailored blue sleeves. His piercing golden eyes seem to mirror the sunlight pouring in through the sky.Standing outside with her flowing red dress perfectly complementing her radiant presence, Alexa looked slightly nervous, clutching her book as she craned her neck to meet his gaze.Lucian took a few steps forward, his eyes fixated on the enchanting vision before him. Alexa gazed back at him, a gentle smile dancing on her lips. She had only just realized how much she had missed him."Well, well, aren't you the epitome
"I do," She listened carefully to his next words with a tense expression, afraid she might dread his next words, for some strange reason, she already assumed the worst."I threatened him to leave town," He told "You did what?, why?," She asked with a puzzled expression. What secrets did the handsome stranger have buried in his closets?"He isn't what he seems to be, he was here for me," He replied while Alexa listened with a keen attentive gaze, "He is a ghost from my past,""How did you both meet?""I can't tell you...at least not now, but I need you to trust me," He said running his hands across her smooth delicate face, which held a glint of fear and uncertainty. It was like a stab to the heart seeing her reaction, nonetheless, he couldn't blame her."How do you expect me to trust me, if you won't do the same and tell me your secrets?," She asked, "I need to know if you are involved with the deaths in town..." She quickly placed her hands over her mouth. "Fuck! why did I say that?
Lucian's eyes bulged in shock at the unexpected twist of events. His mate was a witch. He didn't know how to react. It was as though his world had shattered into pieces. It made it worse knowing Alexa's mother might be the witch he was searching for. The witch who had cursed him at birth. "Lucian?," Alexa muttered his name tugging him adorably across the arm. She sensed the tension and uneasiness that suffocated the air around her. "Is your mother in town?," Lucian asked earning a furrowed brow from Alexa. Why did he seem interested in her mother all of a sudden?"No, she died a few years back," She lowered her gaze as a wave of sadness washed over her. "Fuck!" Lucian cursed, way to spoil the mood he thought, "I'm sorry for your loss," He told sincerely cupping her cheeks. It seemed gus assumptions were wrong. Alexa's mother although a witch wasn't the witch he searched for. Judging the lycan hunter Mason Salvador's words, he was certain the witch was still alive.He let out a sigh
As she walked into the doorstep, her eyes immediately locked onto him. He stood by the entrance, tall and lean, with jet-black hair and piercing blue eyes that seemed to catch the light and reflect it in a thousand different shades. "My God!" Skylar couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat as she took in his handsome features. He was more deliciously looking than Alexa had described. Honestly, word couldn't even describe the perfection of the specimen before her.She had seen attractive men before, but there was something about him that made her go weak in the knees. It was like he had an aura of unearthly beauty that drew her in and left her feeling breathless.She tried to avert her gaze, not wanting to be caught staring, but she couldn't tear her eyes away. "What can I help you with beautiful?," Lucifer noticed gaze drooling gaze on him, and he bit his lips with a small, knowing smile. He trailed his sight to her chest and instinctively licked his lips. He would make a good f
Warning this chapter contains strong sexual scenes, readers discretion is strongly advisedLeading Alexa back into his room, Lucian maintained a calm facade, but she could sense that he was battling a tumult of emotions."Lucian?" She called out softly, perplexed by his unexpected change in demeanor. Was he jealous? It was a side of him she had never seen before. He had always personified the words "cool, calm, and collected," yet now he seemed visibly disturbed and troubled by Lucifer's advances."I love you, Alexa," He paused, "Watching someone else vying for your affection is...difficult,""Lucifer doesn't love me and vice versa, he's just being a flirt," She clasped her hands with his, "I'm sorry you have such an asshole for a brother,"Lucian chuckled, "I'm sorry too," Without a word, Lucian gently cupped her face in his hands, the touch of his fingers sending tingles down her spine. Leaning in, he pressed his lips to hers, a soft and tender kiss that spoke volumes without a sing
Hours LaterAlexa slowly stirred from her sleep, feeling disoriented for a moment. As she blinks her eyes open, she is met with the warm, dusky glow of the setting sun filtering through the bedroom window. The room was bathed in a soft, golden light, casting long shadows across the floor.She stretched her arms above her head and let out a contented sigh, feeling the day's fatigue leaving her body. The world outside is painted in shades of orange and pink as the sun begins its descent below the horizon. The peaceful silence of the evening fills the room, broken only by the distant sound of birds chirping and the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze.She sat up, feeling a sense of tranquility wash over her. The setting sun's rays cast a warm glow on her face, offering a quiet moment of reflection and gratitude. Taking a moment to breathe in the serenity, she feels a rush of peaceful energy within her."Lucian?," She called out with no response. She could tell she was in the upper p
Alexa raced through the dense forest, the thudding of her feet against the underbrush echoing in the darkness. Her heart pounded in her chest, and fear propelled her forward, driving her to push her body beyond its normal limits. She could hear the heavy footfalls of the pursuing black lycan that was hot on her heels. Its growls and snarls were unnervingly close, spurring terror through her veins.She couldn't understand or comprehend what had happened, one minute Lucian was a beautiful man with golden locks and golden irises, and the next he was a black-furred wolflike beast. It seemed Tommy and Sheriff Byod were right. The Klaus brothers were involved with the murders.The murders weren't done by humans or wild wolfs as they suggested, but in fact whatever the fuck Lucian had transformed too. She felt her heart break and shatter into a billion pieces, the man she loved was a monster.Waves of panic washed over Alexa as she desperately tried to put distance between herself and the r
Alexa sat on the chair, the blanket wrapped tightly around her, her body shivering in fright. Her eyes were wide with fear as the memories of the attack of Lucian plagued her thoughts. She pulled the blanket closer, trying to find comfort in its warmth.Just then, a man walked in, his black hair and blue eyes glistening like jewels holding a steaming cup of coffee. He approached her, his eyes filled with concern as he saw her trembling figure. It was a relief she had agreed to come back home with him. Without a word, he held out the cup of coffee to her. "Here, this might help," he said gently.Alexa took the cup, her hands still shaking. She took a sip, feeling the warmth of the coffee spreading through her, chasing away the cold fear that had gripped her. Lucifer sat down beside her, offering her a reassuring smile as she took another sip of the comforting drink."Where is he? Lucian?" She managed to speak unable to meet his gaze "Locked In a prison underground, he should be back
