LUCIAN’S POV I pulled my door open and the first thing I saw was a beauty staring right at me. Andrea was looking at me coyly as she held a tray up. I couldn’t see most of the outfit, but I loved the way the shirt seemed to flay around her body. "What are you doing here?" I asked as I mentally shook my head. She swallowed and I noted the blush she had on. "Well, I thought that we should eat breakfast since the dinner date didn’t quite work as planned. But, this is probably the wrong time to come in here, so I would take my leave." "No!" I cried at once. She lifted a delicate brow at me, and I simply moved out of her way, noting the way her eyes seemed to follow my chest hair. I wondered vaguely what her wolf thought of me. Did they excited? If they did, then, it could be easier to get her to free me of the curse. Andrea tore her eyes of my chest as she walked further into my room. Her eyes noted the dark wood and brown carpets easily. Everything about me was dark, and I didn’t i
ANDREA’S POV I slowly walked out of the room, closing the door behind me. And, took four steps down so they wouldn’t have to note my scent inside. I was pretty sure that they were up to something, and it was my duty to find out what. 'You’re only going to succeed in hurting yourself,' Kezav informed me softly. I closed my eyes lightly as I touched my lips lightly. 'I have gotten severely hurt already as my own mates see me as a prey and not someone with a sou. If I don’t fight them at every turn to preserve my heart, then, I fear, I might not be able to stand in the the test of time.' 'But...' 'Let me listen to their scheming, Kezav. It wouldn’t be repeated if lost.' My wolf sulked into silence and I sighed a bit. She was all for the romance, but there were serious issues that had to be solved. I had been a slave, and I knew what it was to fight for survival like it were your last. Nothing would change that. "We should test this on her by taking turns to kiss her," Nikolai was s
ANDREA I slowly made my way through the passage to the first garden where I was told that Brody’s mother was waiting for me. I had no urge to go over to where she was, but it was not something that I had been given an option in. There was a coronation to plan. I bunched my clothes carefully with my fingertips as I moved. The gown I wore was tighter than normal today. My maid had informed me that since I would be meeting the Beta’s wife, it was important for me to look ravishingly beautiful today, and I would do well not to forget that. So, here I was, hurting down the path, hoping I wouldn’t fall flat on my face. At the edge of the door, I noted that Brody’s mother was chatting with another woman. It had to be the fashion designer. I had not seen her before, but I held tales of her, and they weren’t good at all. She was so condescending to people and no one in the pack was taken to her. I honestly hope that she won’t dampen my mood this morning. It would be a disaster. "Good day,"
NIKOLAI With my hands stuck deep in my pants, I made my way down the path to the pack house, hoping to numb every of the thoughts in my head. It was at that moment that I noted Aurora standing in the middle of the path, looking lost. I turned towards the direction she was looking at, and saw the ball move right at her. Without thinking twice, I moved to her direction in rocket speed, pulling her to me, and closing my hands against the ball. My hands held her close in that moment and I simply couldn’t breathe. She was just too cute. A series of 'sorry’s' could be heard behind me, but I didn’t pay attention. "Are you ok?" I asked softly. She lifted her head from my chest and looked at me. Her eyes were wild in shock, and I could tell that she couldn’t quite believe what had just happened. Her lips opened to speak, but no words came out. I resisted the urge to peck her on the forehead, and slowly released my hold on her. "Kids, you should leave," I ordered the gamers, throwing the ba
ANDREA I felt Nikolai’s hands slide up my waist, and I slowly tried to pull back, but he didn’t release me. I looked into his eyes and noted that they were as soft as ever, and not in a bad way. It was so right and sweet. His second hand lifted my chin, and then, he leaned over and kissed me like I was the next thing best to ice cream, and I felt like I was melting. My hands rested on his chest, as I parted my lips slightly, letting his tongue slide into my mouth as I sucked on it. 'I thought you didn’t want to kiss the boys anymore,' Kezav moaned in my ears and I couldn’t help but gasp in panic. I tried to pull back, but Nikolai wasn’t letting go. In a moment of indecision, I had no choice but to step on his right foot. He released me then, and I stepped away from the mat, fleeing out of the training room. "Andrea," he called out. I turned a bit, careful not to hit the bench at the side which held a complicated working tool. "Good bye, third Alpha," I grunted out. With that, I
NIKOLAII smiled as I watched her flee from the training room. She was cuter than I had imagined and I was shocked that she was the only one that seemed to get me properly. My left hand slowly moved to the crook of my neck as I massaged it lightly, knowing fully well that I was growing red. It was one of the things I hated about being softer than my brothers. But, my mate didn’t seem to mind, or maybe, she had noticed it yet?"What was that all about?" Raul boomed.I turned lightly to where he stood as he looked as confused as ever. "I don’t understand that question. Please, can you be clearer?"He frowned as he walked closer to where I stood on the mat. Yes, I have been standing there like an idiot, thinking that she would come back, but there seemed to be no prove that she would. Maybe, she was even worse than I was when it came to shyness. I can never tell, but I would find out, of course.Raul clasped his hands together as he stood in front of me. "I saw Andrea, and she looked li
I CAN’T DECIDEANDREA’S POVI tried to turn on the bed, but there was a weight pressing me down. What the hell was going on? I opened my eyes at once and all I could see was Raul leaning on me."Get off!" I screamed in panic.He simply stared at my face. It took me a moment to realise that he was looking at my lips. Oh, no! Don’t tell me that he wanted to kiss me! This can’t be happening!"Didn’t you hear me, second Alpha?" I cried."Be quiet," he said softly.I bit my lips, not having a choice. Even if I was his mate, I knew that there were some things I just couldn’t tell him, because it would become disrespectful. No one disrespected the acting Alphas and went scot-free. And, I have lived such a horrible life anyway, and I didn’t want to go to a place worse than I had been before.Raul was still looking at my lips, making me so self-conscious. The moment I lifted my head a it, his lips touched mine. My eyes went wild in shock, as he slowly deepened the kiss. I bit his lips accidenta
LUCIEN’S POV I stared at the window for a long time, replaying what happened earlier this evening. Andrea had refused to kiss me at first, but then, she somehow agreed to it. I had no idea if she did it out of fear or something, but all I knew was that my wolf didn’t even make a sign that he was there. I had been left on my own to grapple on nothing, and that was beyond annoying. "Damn it!" I swore as I rose to my feet. I grabbed a hold of my phone as I dialled Nikolai’s line. "Meet at the edge of the forest in 10 minutes, relay the message to Raul too." "Ok, Lucien," he said at last. I disconnected the call at that as I made my way to the other side of the room, switching the lights of. I was going to be fine if I saw my brothers. No matter how much we fought, they were my lifeline, and I cared about them too much to wish for someone else in my life. I wanted to be a part of their soul if possible, I itched my hair as I walked out of the office and to the lone corridor. Everywh
