LUCIEN’S POV It took a while before she responded to my kisses, and when she did.It was blissful, I nibbled, sucked, and teased her bottom lip which elicited a soft moan from her. Her soft moan turning me on.The kiss went from slow and steady to needy, and a little bit aggressive, my hand found the curves at her back, groping softly, and her hand running through the roots of my hair.This action seemed to stir the wolf in me, begging to be let out more than ever, I was having a hard time keeping it under a leash.I didn’t want to hurt her like this, and for a moment, I wished I was human. Wished that I could give her my all without afraid of a beast letting loose.Sensing my urge to pull back off she pulled me back in, one of her legs wrapping around my waist, as I teased her with my already growing bulge.This seemed to be doing the trick as she became a quivering mess pleading with me in small breathes not to stop.Letting out a small growl, I started to feel the changes, my
EMMA’S POV Ever since that day that Lucien had hung out my dirty linen for me to see, used my heart to play a game of ping pong, I couldn’t stand the sight of him.I was repulsed staying in the same space next to him, he didn’t get to treat me like that, didn’t get to say a whole lot of mean things and expect me to still be cordial with him.I mean hello, you do not get to do that.So that is why I have been ignoring him ever since then, focused entirely on my book, that seemed to confuse me a whole lot, and that stinging pain, and metal colliding with fresh was more prominent after every word I wrote.I didn’t know how to explain it, I didn’t know who to ask.I mean I could easily ask Lucien but then my ego would not let me.Right now I was on my way to the antique shop, after impolitely declining Lucien’s offer to accompany me.I didn’t necessarily want to be drawn to his bad energy.Because that was what he was a ticking time bomb that was waiting patiently to detonate taking ev
LILITH'S POVI could not explain the anger that rolled off my body after I found out the inkwell had been sold, I had been in an offensive mood ever since Brian brought the news to me, a smirk evident on his face as if mocking me. If not that I needed him, I would have dealt with him, made him beg for his life till I decided on what to do with him.At least, that would put him in his rightful position, and he wouldn't dare mess with me, for I was Lilith, the holder of lives and the one who could rule over fickle-minded men to the right path; I was their only path to salvation.I had made necessary plans in place, the pines field being one of my priorities. I needed to visit the antique shopkeeper and needed him to tell me who or whom he sold the inkwell to.As it was, my patience was running thin; I needed that inkwell like yesterday. to finally get all that I had ever wanted.I wanted power in large doses, I wanted to rule the world.I yearned for the satisfaction of seeing my own r
BRIAN’S POV I was spent at this point, I had tried going to pay a little visit to the shopkeeper, but he had placed a damn curse that smacked me right off my feet anytime I came close to the door. The door handle zapping me senseless. So I had planted trails that would lead me to the inkwell itself, although I had no lead, and I needed to discuss it with Lilith, I needed her permission. I placed a call to Lilith, the line only beeping twice before she picked up, her voice ringing through the room“It is about damn time you called Brian” she yelled, my ear ringing loudly.“You know very well why I haven’t reached out to you Lilith, “ I said exhaustion rolling into my voice“Are you sure that is the only thing keeping you busy Brian? She asked candidly, there was a long pause after The question.Which caused her to cackle, her devilish laughter reverberating through the phone, and I hated the way she always made me feel small.“I thought as much Brian, so when you are done philand
EMMA’S POV I couldn’t express how happy I have been since this morning, Lucien and I had already made out on the kitchen counter this morning, and it felt good every single time.I was happy with the way things were, I didn’t even have to think too hard. Whatever this thing was with Lucien, I was going to make sure I saw it till the end.“What are you thinking of Emma? Lucien asked, his breath fanning the crook of my neck.We were currently cuddling on the living room couch, watching a rerun of Harry Potter the pop corn lay half eaten on the centre table.Lucien seemed to be enjoying this movie, because he had been paying attention to the movie, his hands rubbing me In a soothing manner.“Nothing” I said trying to hide the blush that had started creeping up my cheeks. “Are you sure it is nothing Emma? Lucien asked sarcasm dripping through his voice “Ugh I hate you Lucien “ I said trying to hide my face with one of the throw pillows, Lucien laughter inciting me more, but in a go
EMMA’S POV I remember passing out on the chair, fatigue encasing my small body. I didn’t exactly know what I did that had me that worn out.It was well past evening I eventually woke up, with Lucien sprawled on the space next to me, his hand trapping me between him and the centre table. I just laid beside him, taking in all his facial features, he looked breath-taking with all his facial features relaxed. I traced my finger across his face slowly, trying to memorise the dips and every path of his face.The rise of chest bringing out different emotions in me, emotions that has me in a choke hold.“Take a picture Emma, they last longer” Curses! I hissed under my breath making me flush with embarrassment, the pink in my cheeks turning a deep shade of redHis laughter causing a small smile to form on my face.“I think we need to pay Mrs Clara a visit Lucien, it’s been ages Lucien “ I sighed, sucking air through my teeth, and I kind of felt bad .“It’s been what? Four days Emma: Luci
LUCIEN’S POVEver since the incident with Mrs Clara, there has been a dark cloud hovering above us, with Emma wallowing inside guilt.What_ifs swirling through every statement she made regarding Mrs Clara.No matter how hard I had explained to her that the deed has been done, Emma didn’t want to hear of it.Which is why every morning Emma made it her duty to prune the little garden in front of her house, as well as taking freshly baked croissant, and freshly squeezed orange juice To Mrs Clara.And that drew me nearly to the edge every single time because she forced me to accompany her every single time she wanted to run these little errands.That was why by 4 am this morning, Emma had roughly woken me up from bed, saying that she needed to try a new recipe and how she felt like Mrs Clara was bored of all the dry croissants she was shoving down her throat. So we had spent hours in the kitchen cooking varieties of goods that she felt would awaken Mrs Clara’s taste buds.Bile rises in
EMMA’S POV Ever since that incidence, I hardly ever saw Lucien, and I hardly got any sleep. This was way worse than heartbreak, and I still remembered the crazed look in his eyes like yesterday. The way he broke down and bawled his eyes or the way he was pit of his element, me crouching in a corner tossing objects at him while he carried out utter destruction in the house.Speaking of which, the house has been arranged like that cursed day never happened, like Lucien hadn’t murdered me with the words he chaffed out .He looking so dejected that he clued not even look me in the eye.And this one was different, and do you know how I knew. Anytime we had a fall out, Lucien was always the first person who would try to patch things up. He was always pining for a conversation, now I felt all alone, I was even too lazy to hide the huge eye bags that had formed on my face. Every single night I had been waiting for Lucien to either say those words that he had spewed to me, or rather take
LUCIEN’S POV “What do we do with this Lucien?” Emma asked pointedly, staring at the briefcase that the shopkeeper had pressed into her hands.“Uhm” I said clearing my throat loudly as I went through the content of the briefcase. The books as well as scrolls containing valuable pieces of information that could ruin this obsidian order, it could leave them in flames if words got out, their illegalities piling higher at every turn of the page.There were several counter curse books and spells that peeked out the brief case, and a gold ball that had strange marks on them, and red stones peeking out it’s body, it was rough to touch and finally a book about the inkwell in a big brown old book, relief seeping through us as we flipped it open.Our relief didn’t last for long, the big brawny book was just a repetition of what the shopkeeper told us earlier, each image deflating our previous excitement.Frustration and anger seeping through us as we flipped open pages upon pages of the book
LILITH’S POV Anger, or rather satisfaction ran through my veins as I saw the hordes getting tore up by werewolves, their acrid stench filling up the air as I watched them squirm for their lives. My sudden urge to kill dissipating as I watched them burst into flames, the hunt getting intense as the hordes ran through the maze.Several hordes scattered across the bleachers on the great fields as they watched their own die, the fear in their eyes exciting as I took it all in.Vashka and Mordecai sitting rigidly beside me on an elevated podium as we watched hordes and wolves dissolve into nothingness, my heart thumping with satisfaction as I watched it go on and on.Boredom suddenly overshadowing my initial satisfaction, the hunt seemed to go on for a long time, I had important things to do, my company was in danger and I didn’t have all day watching one useless match.“Stop the hunt” I said with a snap of my fingers, my sunshades sitting pretty on my face as I heard the moderator spe
EMMA’S POV These past days had been hectic, I felt like I was slowly loosing myself. I felt I was going insane, these shadows were popping off everywhere and anywhere.They had me in a chokehold, smothering me with their ominous presence and there was nothing I could do about it.I could not exactly explain this to Lucien because he didn’t see the same things I saw, he could not feel them. They didn’t show any form of mercy, the only time I was free from Their hold was when I was busy with work.And my book was almost as good as being published, we just needed to send it in for proofreading and editing for the third time before we finally published it.My marketing team was already on standby, teasing the audience with certain lines from my new book, I could even feel the success on my palms, I could even taste it.And now that I was finally going to know about the history of that damned inkwell, the shopkeeper was just going to turn me out on the street with half baked words. Nah,
LUCIEN’S POV The house had suddenly grown too cold, and it was all Emma’s doing. Ever since her breakdown in this damn living room things hadn’t been the same again. Things had started to spiral out of control and I had to watch Emma painfully loose herself to whatever insanity was going on. She felt different, looked different and even acted different. The sudden shift in her behaviour haunted me, it was all my fault.If only I had listened to her, if only I had seen the damn shadows she had talked about. We would not even be here.Emma had become detached, yes she was crazy about publishing her new book and she even met with this British publisher almost every time, or even spent hours on the phone with the blonde bloke.When she wasn’t with him, when she was not occupied with things that could keep her on her feet, she was a different person entirely. She was a mess, screaming and crying till her voice became hoarse, or sometimes she was yelling incoherent words that didn’t make
EMMA’S POV “Arghhhh.”I was so stupid, so so stupid.What the well was I expecting“Fuck !It was one thing getting lost in the moment it was another thing going through with it. Damn I looked so stupid, Heck I even sounded stupid.Even though it was something that I had badly wanted to do, but now that I had done it I wasn’t so sure about it. the look in Lucien’s eyes after had sent me reeling with shock and more importantly shame.“Uggh” What the hell was I going to do. There was no way in hell that I could stand before Lucien without getting embarrassed.I didn’t know what I expecting. I should have known that with Lucien it was never a straight line, one had to walk in damn circles. I just wanted to Bury myself and cry all because stupid Lucien left me out to dry.Anger sizzling through me as I made my way to the bathroom, the memory of us having sex plunging into my mind as I felt myself tingle with excitement and desir
LUCIEN’S POV There was something different about Pines field, although I could not exactly place a finger on it. Things about Pines field didn’t feel the same. It felt distant. And clearly, it didn’t feel as welcoming as it used to be, something about it just felt different, felt out of place, it just felt utterly different and cold. After drilling the placard on Emma’s front door, I decided to take a nice long walk. I wanted to feel that familiar semblance, wanted to breathe in fresh air and not the filth that horde island was filled with. The familiar streets breathing relief down my neck as I let myself take it all in, the burst of freshly groomed flowers giving me a certain peace that I craved for .I wanted to drink it all in, but there was that nagging feeling settling at the back of mind, growing wings as it set across my head. Leaving distaste and utter frustration in it’s wake.That particular sensation of impending doom didn’t subside a bit.
LILITH’S POV I could feel the anger swirl within me, Brian was taking his precious time to show up for the meeting, my forehead ticking with several emotions as I waited for him.The boardroom filled with agitated beasts as they sat, tapping their feet furiously against the table frustration written in bold letters on their faces.The ticking of the clock adding to their agitation. “Can’t we just start this meeting without Lucien?” Luke from I T department asked, the invisible wheels in his head working overtime as he tried his possible best to school his emotions.“For the hundredth time no” I snapped, shutting him up. The anger in his face evident as he glared at the pen in his hands, setting it on fire with the gaze in his eyes.“Luke! Half of the table cried put, smoke teasing their nostrils as the coughed, my mind reeling at his little tactics. “Where the hell is Brian?” Trisha asked through gritted teeth, agitation evident in her
EMMA’S POV I could still feel the flames of desire Lucien left in his wake, his kisses awakening all the desires i had kept hidden. The feel of his hands on my breasts made my head reel with a sudden need. his betrayal making my heart sink into a bottomless pit, snatching me from the little la la land i was in.The tears leaking from my eye didn’t show any sign of stopping.Not even when I had tried to yank myself free from the bedpost wishing it would snap into halves, its hold on me frustrating.But that didn’t even happen. No matter how hard I tugged, no matter how hard I tried to let myself loose.I just ended up injuring myself, the plastic cuffs eating slowly into my arms causing small blisters to form.I might have dozed off once or twice, my middle still throbbed with so much desire it threatened to spill out of me.My face was still stunning with pain from earlier, anger swirling through me at the thought of Vashka’s filthy hands on
LUCIEN’S POV Anger. I felt the sudden need to punch Vashka or Kavashka whatever his name was , after the stupid stunt he had pulled in the great hall. He deserved to be stoked to death, deserved all the meanness I could possibly think ofAfter he used his filthy horde hands to do series of atrocity on Emma’s fragile body, he deserved he’ll and more.“ Xi, walk slow” Xvii whined, his short strides trying to catch up with my own long strides. Although it hurt to leave Emma like . If I could. I swear I would tie her with me and just make a run for it.But that wasn’t going to be possible, I couldn’t risk losing weeks of rigorous planning just because I was irrational. I still remembered the look of betrayal that had shone in eyes, I could still feel the desire running wild within me,.But I needed to teach the beast a lesson, nobody had the right to put their hands on Emma like that, she was fragile and they needed to treat her like one.“You remember the plan’s right, we do it be
