ANDREAThis can't be happening again. I couldn't allow Nikolai to be so mad at me for the second time in a row. I had gone through a lot to make him calm down and talk to me, but everything was going down the drain."Nikolai!" I called the moment I stepped out of the training centre.He didn't turn to look at me, instead he walked as fast as he could down the path that led to the fountain. My heart literally broke at the coldness I was experiencing from him. This was definitely not fair.I bit my lips as I looked back at the training centre. Lucien was in there, and he was pissed. Though, I didn't care. He was the reason I was not able to bond with Nikolai. What was he thinking when he kissed me? Maybe, he was a sadist. He had said so many awful things to me, and I was an idiot to kiss him back in there. Damn it!With a grunt, I looked back at the path that Nikolai travelled in. How could someone so quiet have so much anger inside of him? I had to pacify him. With that thought in min
LUCIAN"Ok, man! There is some news about what happened in the North Area this morning. They were trying to distribute the..."I was softly tapped on the shoulder, and I looked up diatractedly. Raul had his brow shot lightly in defiance. "When did you come?" I queried, truing not to show how much he unnerved me."A long time ago. Where are you lost, brother?"I sighed as I shrugged Raul hand off, looking back at the video in front of me. "So many things are going wrong, Raul. There is an enemy in the pack, and we don't even know who it is," I whispered."What are you talking about?"I shoved the phone into his hands as I leaned back on the chair, slightly anxious for him to watch the video to the end. I may have some issues about sharing my mate with my brothers, but I knew I needed them to sort out this mess. I couldn't ignore that I couldn't handle any of these on my own. It was just not possible for that to happen."So, I don't see what you're trying to show me, man," Raul was sayi
LUCIAN I moved quickly to the table, almost hitting Raul on the head with my forehead. I did not apologise for it, and focused instead on the video in front of me. At first, it wasn't clear, but slowly I was able to see that it was a guard who had tampered with the car."Who the fuck is this bastard?" I snapped.The security officials shook. "I'm not able to figure it.""Then, zoom into the damn video!" I shouted.I didn't need to order this twice because he did as I told him at once. I sighed in frustration. This was not getting clearer at all. Instead, it seemed even worse than it had previously.I cursed as I slammed the desk in rage, straightening up. Raul was snapping at them to do some more colouring so it could be clearer, but I knew it was worthless. "That's enough," I grumbled. I could feel their gazes on me, and it made my hands pull into a fist in anger. "What do you want? That we should leave this whole thing and pretend that someone had not tried to attack our Luna?"
LUCIAN "No!" I blinked in shock at Andrea's words. Was she refusing because I was involved in this? She avoided my gaze, instead, she was looking at my brother instead."What I mean is, I need to switch a bit, so it wouldn't look like I'm neglecting my pack duties. I have not been able to do anything for as long as I can remember, and it doesn't really look good on me," She mumbled.Raul laughed as he moved to her, placing a hand on her shoulders. "You worry too much, Luna Andrea.""I have to," she grumbled.He nodded lightly. "Yes, that's a quality of a Luna, but you have to understand that the people also gets that you have recently being in an accident, and they don't expect you to jump right into servitude right now. Don't be like Lucien who always thinks about work at every minute. It's so boring," Raul whined.I glared at his back as I clamped my hands together angrily. "I'm still here, you know?"Raul flicked his wrist at me. "I can see that, but you're not important right no
LADY MEADE"He refused?" Valerie asked in disbelief.I frowned as I hit the fan against my thigh, remembering Lucien's harsh words. It was so irritating the more I thought of how he easily rejected Andrea doing the pack work. It has been the only way I could have dealt with her so easily, but now, it was closed."You don't need to shout," I snapped."I'm sorry, my lady," she said quickly. "It's just that I'm surprised. You had so much confidence that you could easily get the Alpha to do your bidding."I glared at nothing as we moved closer to the training centre. Almost immediately, the door pulled open and troops of guards moved through it. What the fuck was going on?I signalled for my maid to come close. "Did you know about this?" I snapped.She bowed. "Yes, my lady," she informed me at once.I slapped the fan against my thigh harshly. This was not what I was thinking right? When I saw Lucien the last time, he wasn't looking too upset, but engrossed in his work."Tell me what you k
ANDREA"Is this not too much?" I asked softly.Lily shook her head at me. "No, it’s not. I think this is the third time the Second Alpha wants you to have lunch with him. It’s important to impress him since that is what brings you both together."I rolled my eyes. "I don’t want to impress anyone, Lily."She gasped as though I had said some sort of blasphemy and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her. Lily was just something else sometimes, and I liked her for that. Carefully, I shook out the puffs that was attached to the dress. It made me feel like a queen and not just the Luna."Are you sure this is not excessive? I mean, it’s just lunch and nothing more." I whined.Lily brushed her hands on my clothes as though it was not already straight. "Please, don’t say those things again. You’re out Luna and you need to dress the part. Moreover, The Second Alpha is a fashion freak. You can’t be looking like a vegetable where he is concerned," she whined.I smiled.It was at the same time tha
ANDREA"You're so funny," I said as I slid away from the chair.Raul smiled at that, but other than that he said nothing. I appreciated the fact that he had not made things awkward after that drama, and the whole lunch had been lighthearted and fun. That was the best thing for me.Raul took my hands and led me further into the garden. I couldn't understand where we were going at this point. I looked at him and he had a sly smile on his face. He was seriously so different from his brothers, and it felt so bad that I had not realised that previously. "Ok, here we are!" He harped as we crossed the panel that led to the other side of the garden. A stream was right in the middle, and there were tall fountains around it. It looked so breathtaking with swams and peguins moving around it. How could something be so beautiful?"What do you think?" He asked behind me.I had not even realised I had moved so far from him, and I was blushing wildly at the way everything was playing so easily. He h
ANDREAI’ve been alone all day, and somehow it seemed like I was crowded. It was all thanks to everything that I had gotten from Lily. She had not meant any harm when she told me about Raul’s exes, but it didn’t mean I would be so thrilled at the prospect. I just hated that someone else had been in his life, and there was someone he held at a high regard. That didn’t seem fair."Luna, you’re not ready yet," Lily whined as she stepped out of the bathroom with a clean robe in her hand.Amelia and Lucinda chose that moment to show up with a tray of fruits. They looked in their new brown uniform. They bowed at me, and I smiled in response."Luna," Lily whined."I don’t have the urge to go anywhere today, Lily. I just want to stay in my room, and pretend that everything is fine. Can’t I indulge with that much?" I asked absently as I signalled for the maids to come closer with the fruit.I picked three berries, popping it into my mouth at once. It made a satisfying sound that reminded me o
