"Lucia–" his voice snapped me out of my thought, "were you hearing me at all?"What was I supposed to say? I didn't hear him at all, he looked at me, his new hairstyle and in the dull moonlight that flared, he looked more handsome and more human than I've ever seen him."I guess I'm asking you to trust me." He said.I looked at him, but I couldn't do anything. If Andrea wanted me to trust him and be patient then I would simply have to do so."Okay." I said silently, "by the way if you want to enjoy your last few days as a bachelor, we should, I have an idea." He laughed again and I felt a pleased flush creep up my cheeks. Then his expression became serious. "It's like bondage." He said."I think so, my mother was never happy with him, somehow I felt they weren't mated." I vomited, I knew I wasn't supposed to be talking about this with him but I was nervous. "My mother was an omega, she always tells him I wished I never married you." I scoffed."In your presence? doesn't that hurt yo
Before Alpha Andrea my life was simple, I never really cared about love or mate bond whatsoever. What really mattered was my dream of living in Vienna, going to the beach and touching those white sea sands under my feet, living a free life far away from home. "This is an old book." She sighed, her age was already catching up with her obviously."It belonged to an old friend, can you help me decode it?" I inquired of her looking into her bewildered flickering eyes."Let me take a look," she said and I rolled it in her direction, she ruffled her hands through it, " it's the same." She breathed out.I was confused as I looked at her engrossed in what was in the book. "I heard you're a living amplifier," I breathed in, and she raised her head to look at me, I ran my hand through my hair, what was I saying? It was only hearsay.I pursed my lips and she hummed glaring and signalling I should continue, yeah right I had to even though it might sound crazy or direct."I uhhmm, need your help
I flushed my pale skin heating to an awkward temperature, I wasn't sure what was happening but somewhere deep inside me, I felt his hands caressing me softly. Leaving myself no time to hesitate I stood before him and reached towards his face, as though time had slowed as I watched him as he pulled me deep into his chest, my face fell on his jaw a giggle escaped my mouth as his stubble tickled my skin. I let my lip linger on his face for a while and enjoyed the way his hands wriggle on my waist.Andrea acted like he was in heat, but I never minded any of that, he dungs his hands into my shoulder afterwards as he bends in more, our breath hastened and I snapped out of his grasp."enough!" I muttered. "You're extremely affectionate today Lucia, is it because–" I cut in."Impeccable, see you later, '' I said, walking fast, and a smile crept on my face, what did I just say?As much as I wanted to be with my mate, this was the last place for any fornication to happen between the both of us
"Collins!" I called out at him.And he walked his legs towards me, fazed by the sudden outpour."What happened, Lucia?" He was confused."Don't tell me, you had hidden the truth from me all this while.""What's going on?" He asked and I pressed my lip tight, but somehow he seemed amused? I wasn't sure, his expression was too tricky for me to find out."The fact that someone had to tell me Dad attacked your family, and that's why you're here! Must you hide such a secret from me?" I explained and he narrowed his eyes looking down, unable to face me, he might probably be thinking about how he found out. Looking at his eyes I felt silence for a moment before he nodded an answer. "It's true, and–" he wanted to say. "That's why you never wanted to come with me? You should have at least told me you hated me for that." I said and his dark brown eyes assessed me."I don't hate you, Lucia, I wanted to be here and Fiona gave me reasons to find a home here." He said, stepping closer to me."Yes
I opened the door to my room and a startled grip escaped my mouth, Fiona Reed was lying on my bed, "Hello, you startled me," I said as I waited on her, usually she would jump at me with questions, but I peeled at her and realized she was deep sleeping her soul to rest. My brow lifted again. I was so intrigued by the way her eyes squealed and opened slightly like that of a fish while sleeping.I didn't want to disturb her, so I let her rest. I whisked to my wardrobe and pulled the handle unlocked. The wood creaked and It made a sudden loud noise.My face turned scarlet as she opened her eyes to see me packing some of my stuff. I wanted to evaporate and vanish, but I didn't have the privilege to do so."What are you doing by this time of the night?" She said looking at me as she open her mouth wide into a yawn. My hands were already clenched tight to some of my valuables.My voice cracked like a whale but I must pretend I wasn't doing anything controversial, "I was looking for my hair
His hands ran through my bare chest. No word could explain how I felt right now, my mate's hand rummaged my naked body and returned the same reflex.Pleasure swooning over me, my soul screamed. Andrea was just doing so well handing me in-between my sheets.He was gentle and soft the whole time and I couldn't deny how my body wanted to feel him. His warm hand crawled into my flat stomach at the end of everything. I was finally losing my virginity to the man I loved, my mate.Andrea was silent and leaned his head on my shoulder. He was acting strange, strange from what he had heard I think. I didn't have any right to complain when I was not in his shoes. What was I doing? He slipped his lips into mine again, and his kiss nuzzled down my neck, feeling his hard panting and his chest vibrating with growth as he took in my scent.Mate.I yelped and moaned softly as he pinched my sore nipples with his mouth as if his life depended on it, my hips advanced towards his lower body, rubbing my
And like that he changed my pale complexion to snow white. I fell asleep and his words like bubbles kept chewing repeatedly in my head.Alpha Andrea caught me under his flaps and for once I forgot everything I felt. Just like yesterday, I was battling with the decision to make, making me look like a pumpkin. I'm glued to my bed and I sniffed his scent lavender and rich scent out of the bed sheet. Could I get over Andrea that easily? I realized he wasn't here, I pulled on my gown and ran to the living room. The packhouse was unnaturally silent like I've ever seen the activities that were booming around the pack house had stilled.Just then I recalled Andrea telling me that the wedding won't hold anymore, I ran back to my room, stumbling on the stairs before finally changing into something speaking to the eyes. I checked the kitchen again, I didn't want to conclude he had gone after Ramanov, but when I checked my pocket the letter was gone I started to tremble, 'could it… no it can't.'
"How are immortals created?" I asked the old woman as I followed her to her cabin, trying to think back to my history lectures from the alchemist. Perhaps with an amplifier? She didn't reply and instead walked to the room, she was faster than me even with her age and everything, it might be the gene. Good gene. "What are the things you see in your sleep?" She asked from the other side of the room and I groaned, squinting my eyes upon hearing her whispers. It was very unlikely it was the first time someone had picked interest in my nightmares, and I couldn't bring myself to fathom how it's related to finding a way to bring the tyrant down. "You said?" Sadly I could never insist on getting answers from a tight-lipped person like her, but as of the moment, there was nothing to be done. "I don't have all day, girl." She snorted, the old woman was very obscene and low tempered. She pulled out a chair for herself, it was of today she was not sitting in her regular spot, she was sittin
"You can't be doing this, Fiona." Lola's voice cuts in but is hit by a stick with a nod from Fiona to the Beta soldier. Alpha Andrea came down staring at her. "You can't leave me for Lucia, she took everything I have ever worked hard for, understand me please..." She shook her head pleadingly and then exploded into bursts of laughter. "You felt that? Pathetic." She said, I pinned her hand to let me go and clutched onto Alpha Andreas' hands. "Please find her, find Moon, I can stand the pressure," I said as she continued with her pulling, she threw me to the floor once again. She rushed towards him and hugged him from behind. He pulled her away and walked himself out. "You can't find her, Andrea, even with your Alpha strength, my Lycans would love to have a taste of your breed, no more are they within these walls." She shouted after him, her voice filled with satisfaction, and Alpha Andrea's face twitched. His fist balling by his side, his eyes shimmering. He moved his steps towards
My head was buried in his shoulder as I cried my pitiful self out. No return or sound from Alpha Andrea, he was in the same dilemma as me. The fact that I have done the same thing again, keeping the truth from him. Hidden the very seed of his from him. It wasn't my fault either, he chose this, the fact that he rejected me and made me look useless as a mate, despite what we shared over his insecurities, the truth he conceived."Aren't I being selfish, that moment with Alpha Andrea inside there and I saw the revelation that no matter how hard I try, the nemesis would crawl its way in." My voice became thick with phlegm as I pushed to the limit of letting the word out."You're right but it's never too late, you protected her from the outside world and that meant you did what is right you protected your child, Alpha Andrea's child." He rubbed my back and assured me."No! I deprived him of the right of becoming a father to his daughter and that was greedy of me.""You ain't think he could
"So Lucia, how is the preparation, I can't wait to attend your nuptials," Fiona said as she dungs her fork into the pastries and rolled some.Her face was shimmering with satisfaction and some feeling of insecurities, she sat like that for a while and said nothing afterwards, her gaze flickered observant of her environment. I can feel my wolf anxiety flooding my head, maybe I shouldn't have let out that I was getting married soon, and to one other than Matt.Not replying to her Matt simply observed the environment and raised the ketchup apples more onto the French fries and Alpha Andrea was observing the atmosphere between us. Matt made it seem real, our little decoy to let them think we were not there otherwise."Oh, I guess you had put a lot of effort into making this." Taking a bite of the chicken, which tasted great, I complimented."Oh is that so? Thanks for the compliment, although it should be directed to Grace, she is such an amazing cook." A grin formed on her face. "And she
The drive through the road got quite eerie, whiffs of creatures were coming through our paths unlike the last time we had left, it was cold and " What is with this strange scent?" I questioned Matt poaching my nose in the air, my eyes teaching around circularly and my hands clenched tight onto the seat.Matt drove as fast as he could to get us out of the eeriness, had the place turned into a slaughterhouse or was it just filled with a bizarre scent."I think the Lycans are still around or maybe there was a fight between rogues." He suggested even thou his theory was not tenable enough. I cleaned my temple, with my hand checking if my eyes were still swollen as I stressed my head into the phone screen."Don't worry, it's not too obvious that you had crude the soul out of yourself.""You sure about that?" I placed it on my lap as I pulled my cascading hair into a doughnut and tired it out neatly."That's not good, so they kill themselves and make sure Lola is safe within the walls of t
Stepping inside I watched him from afar, he was having her dressed up and Lola's eyes were dark red on my path tearing me with her gaze that was a mix of what she felt towards me; pathetic."You're being stubborn again Lucia." She said as I tiptoed, and later cleared my throat, Matt looked at me and didn't say anything but inside he had a hope that I had learnt to accept my true self and do what is right, even when I doubt myself, maybe I should give it a shot."Crying won't bring your friend back, but staying strong and doing all you can to protect what you love would make him proud of you in the land of the spirits." Lola stood up and walked towards the stacked book on the field, somehow the part of the house reminded me of the alchemist's thousands of books, on average he could finish three to four."I know but it's the least I could do, he deserves more than just my tears." "Oh is that so? Your voice is determined,""Yes, my voice is determined because I want to know what killed
I paced myself through the staircase leaving Matt in the room, he wanted to stop me but I was way ahead of him outside. He sighed and returned to the room knowing that Moon got her eyes on him and was hungry he just left me to my emotional damage and tended to her needs, by serving her the food."Lola, it's not true is it?" I questioned standing before her, my eyes widened and reddened from the tears that had pooled out of them the instant Matt handed over the necklace that belonged to Collins, the sharp lights from outside reflecting in the room made me cover my eyes, boggy and swollen, they had a piercing effect sharp like a claw on it that hurt my eyes. Lola peered into my eyes leaving her knitting and letting the fact that we had just had ourselves hurt moments ago slide, she whisked her away from the grand seat, large it was, it looked like a double sitter, but wasn't completely one, maybe it's because it's an old model I couldn't figure the design, tailor-made like, not possibl
I wish I can wake up to a whole new world and I don't have to worry about rogues and some feverish Lunas alike."People are gonna think you're crazy, Lucia." Matt let out as the car came to a stop in front of a mansion, "They would still follow, this isn't a secret place, Matt." I reminded him that the small castle ain't gonna save us. And amidst all in isolation with an Omega that would be in my dreams."Calm down, breath in breath out." He made a motion with his breath and I mimicked him calming my pulsating impulses. "Good, I'm sure you would be safe here Lucia."Just as he was giving me an assurance, the gate creaked open with a long wailing sound, it felt like the old mansion had been put to exile, old rugged and intended to, the water was pulling out neatly and I was petrified, first Alpha Andrea Mansion in the middle of nowhere and now this place, the aura I felt were far from the ordinary. Might be enchanted.How strange…"Are you sure about this place?" I questioned looking
"You're nothing special, why did you have to show up now after all these years?" Fiona questioned, wearing a face that was dung into hate.I sighed in disgust."You shouldn't be asking me that, I thought the crescent pack, as well as the blood moon pack, only have one trajectory, staying hidden among the woods, what brought you to civilization?"She let out an annoying scoff, just when things were about to scuttle up I let out a laugh and embraced her. I might be mad at her but I wouldn't mind avoiding all the chaos possible."What with the sudden hug?" She muttered and I pressed her more.Alpha should know I didn't care more about his kinky affair least to his Luna, I would just be a barking dog without a fang."I am using this medium to apologise for all I have said and wish you a happy married life, old friend." She is already an old friend and nothing more, she stabbed me and lied about herself hiding her true motive, which was my mate.After what felt like hours of silent terror,
"Where are you going?" Alpha Andrea questioned."Probably to get fresh air and tend to some things, the garden got my nose." I let out smirking, he looked down and had his lower part wrapped in between the sheets."Alright, you can go." He said briskly."Who said I couldn't go?" I snapped holding my hand apologetically to my chest."You can't possibly leave me like this," he suggested with a growl.I snickered at him, "maybe next time," I'm sure this won't be the last time he would the same shit.I headed back to my room feeling as though my day had been eventful, I didn't want to be reeking of his scent for long, it would make me want to go over to him and maybe start from where I stopped."Wait did he think I was drunk so that he could make his way, never ready to give up, huh.""Somehow I enjoyed his pressure but you teasing him left him in a lull, not the type of breakfast he sought." My wolf said mockingly, she felt happy we led Andrea on."Oooh," I cooed, reaching to pick one of
