Lucian's POV

"Goodness!! He has a sword in his abdomen!!!"

That was like a war cry for hungry warriors.

I staggered into the hospital, hoping they wouldn't notice me, but I was stupid for thinking that could ever happen.

I had blood, gut and brain matter splattered all over my body. Even I couldn't differentiate which blood was mine and which one wasn't.

I would've dragged the sword out of my body while the adrenaline was still keeping me alive, but it was a silver sword. It would not have healed naturally the way Alpha wolves heal from wounds.

Immediately the nurse made that yell, the whole hospital got into a chaos. They began rushing to me, trying to get me to sit down, but I couldn't.

"Where is Celeste? Is she awake?"

"Please sit down and let us help you-"

"Take me to her. I need to see her. Tell her that I almost died for her."

"We will, but please rest, first of all. We need to take you into surgery."

"Tell her to forgive me. I need to see her and tell her that I didn't mean t

  • My step-brothers; My mate   What ifs...

    Lucian's POV.I'd give anything to break the depressing silence that groomed between us in the car.This had to be the eeriest ride I'd had in a long while. There was so much to be said between the both of us, but she wasn't ready to have a conversation. And rightly so, because I knew she was hurt.I shouldn't have said those hurtful words to her before the accident. I shouldn't have denied her before Malcolm and Evelyn, just because I wanted her to leave and not be a part of the chaos that could've happened.It was my fault, but she wasn't giving me a chance to rectify it and clear the air.I finally parked in front of the apartment and she got down without waiting for me to get help her down.She walked into the apartment, and made straight for the room, but I stopped her with my hand on her arm.My wolf couldn't take it anymore. The torture of her cold silence felt my bones were breaking and crushing."Celeste, we need to talk.""There's is nothing to talk about, Lucia-""I'm tired

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Confession

    Celeste's POV.What the hell was I doing?How did I get here in the first place?I fixed my gaze on his eyes, and I saw something I'd never seen before.He'd never stared at me with so much lust in his eyes, and for some reason, I couldn't get enough of it.I didn't know that physical attraction was a thing until tonight. Like a magnet dragging metal, his eyes dragged me closer and closer to him until my hard nipples were pressed against his rough chest, and I placed my lips on his lips again.It felt like heaven.They tasted a little salty, but I liked it just like that. His tongue found its way into my mouth, and I allowed him to do what he wanted."Mmm", I moaned when I felt his hands grip my ass hard.As I ate out his lips, the thought of him killing a hundred all by himself got me even hornier. The more the heroic action crossed my mind, the more I felt myself get wet under.He broke the kiss, and I got the chance to get lost in his eyes again.He got up with me atop me, and he t

  • My step-brothers; My mate   A new home

    Celeste’s POV“Celeste? We need to talk.” My mother, Anika, said taking a seat right beside me. We rarely talked nowadays, yet we maintained the close mother-daughter bond we had since the beginning. I sent a text to one of my friends before turning to face her. “Yeah, what’s up?” I asked. Meeting her ocean-blue eyes, I couldn’t help but notice a tinge of emotion rooted deep in them. That’s when I knew that something was up. “Mom, are you okay?” I tossed my phone down on the couch, shifting closer to her. She nodded, clearing her throat, “Goodness me. I’m getting a little emotional here, don’t mind your little old lady.” She giggled, trying to wear down the emotion of the moment. “Well…” I leaned forward, “Tell me, what’s the tea?”Mom took a shaky breath, bobbing her leg up and down as she gave a small smile. This meant good news.But, the words that left her mouth next were more shocking than anything. “I’ve been seeing someone for a while, and….” she held her breath, “He prop

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Memories

    Celeste’s POV“I-” “Meet Cassian and Lucien; your step-brothers,” Theo said, introducing us to one another. Oh, but I knew them. I knew them all too well. This was like a disaster waiting to happen. I couldn’t help but tighten my grip on the backpack as I stared at both men. “Cassian, Lucien. Meet Celeste, your step-sister.” Step-sister. The word sent an unnerving chill down my spine.Both brothers stood tall, towering over me as I looked up at them. They were handsome, no doubt with their perfectly styled hair and muscular bodies. Cassian’s blue eyes pierced mine as he gave a small, knowing smirk. While Lucien was almost unfazed. I couldn’t quite put a finger on what exactly it was, but his aura was much more different from Cassian’s.“Nice to meet you, sis.” He grinned, extending a hand. I had to just play it cool right now. This wasn’t the time for any funny business. Just play it cool, Celeste.I forced my grip on the backpack strap loose as I took his into mine, returning t

    "Looks like you’re having fun without me?” Cassian frowned, a plate in his hand as he stared down at me. Mind you, my hand was still down my pants, and my shirt had been drawn so high up that he’d probably seen my boobs. I yelped, grabbing my blanket and quickly pulling it over myself. “Get out. Now!” I grit my teeth, grabbing onto the duvet so tight that my knuckles almost went white. “Oh, come on now. Don’t be like that, Celeste. Loosen up,” He smirked, “Have a little fun.” My face heated up as a pale blush spread over my features. Still, I wouldn’t let him get to me like this, “What are you even doing up here—in my room?” I spat, adjusting my clothes, my chest heaving. “Dad said I should bring up some cookies and milk. Seems you already got your dessert going on.” He not-so-subtly remarked, with a smug grin. “Oh my God. Just drop the plates and get out!” I screeched, covering my face with shame. And for the first time in a long time, Cassian listened to me. He silently obeyed

  • My step-brothers; My mate   You own me

    Celeste's POV.Was I going to let him take over me the same way he did twenty-four hours ago?I knew where this would end if I let him, so I put my hands before me to create some distance between the both of us and retreated. I ended up knocking over a bucket of water, but that was the least of my worries."Look what you did, avoiding the inevitable,” he teased."Stop." It took every fiber of resistance in me to mutter that single word. "I don't give a shit what you think about who I think I dance with, and you have no right to tell me whether or not to dance with him.""Are you sure? Cause your body is telling me otherwise,” he said with a smirk on his face as his eyes rested on my hardened nipples. "Your body is yearning to be controlled, and we both know that half man can't do the shit that I do to you."If there was anything that I concluded, it was that Cassian's ears were just aesthetics. There was no other logical explanation to how my warnings went over his head."I don't need

    Celeste's POV.I can't believe I allowed him to have his way with me again.It took me more time than expected to regulate my breathing and calm my heartbeat. I finally got out of the Janitor's room and tried to find the nearest exit without being noticed, but Freya was too quick to find me."Celeste! Over here! Look up!", She waved her hands from a distance and I had no chicken but to wait for her."I've been looking around for you. What happened? I just saw you come out of the Janitor's room that your step brother came out from..."Stepbrother...That was probably the Moon Goddess spraying a salt of guilt on me by remembering who exactly I just that ungodly escapade with."... And why's your hair all scattered and strayed?"At first, I felt amused by the fact that she asked many questions bluntly, but right now, I hate it."Can we just go home, please? I'll tell my driver to drop you off at your place before taking me home.""Okay fine, but someone's here to see us off."I looked u

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Brutal Wolf

    Lucian's POV.I closed my eyes, and by the time they popped open, I couldn't recognize them from the reflection on Malcolm's dilated pupils.The look on his face looked like he'd seen a demon in real time, and he wasn't wrong for thinking so."Wh... Who the fuck are y-"I took my arm back and gave him a full swing to his jaw. Upon impact, I felt his jawbone shatter into powder, but the force drove him straight through the ceiling, making the ceiling fan slice him a few times before sending him crashing to the ground."Arghhh!! Uncle!!", Evelyn shrieked in a horrifying sight. With the amount of blood that oozed from his head, it was obvious he was going to die in a few minutes. I could walk out of here knowing my job was done, but my wolf wouldn't have any of that."You want to know who the fuck I am?", I grunted with smoke exuding from my nostrils. "I'm not your typical werewolf. I'm a werewolf that shouldn't be messed with. I'm the prince of Silvermist pack, and a beast when you sho

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Angry wolf

    Lucian's POVAll the while, I'd resisted my wolf.Throughout the ride to laying waste to Malcolm's men as my human self, my wolf had been desperately begging to come out.The shivers...The canine teeth...The unusual wave of strength that kept me alive despite the accident and the amount of blood I'd lost as a result.I'd tried to force it out and make a bloody feast but I held it down for fear of not being able to get control over it.But not this time.If I needed to avenge Celeste and get out of here alive against a hundred men, I need more than human strength.I saw the men cock their AK-47s ready to end my life, and let go of holding back.My bloodthirsty wolf didn't waste the chance and taking over me. I felt my balled fists release to form hard, sharp claws. I felt the chilling wave as I deformed into the monster that I was holding back.By the time I'd fully formed, the only thing I saw was red. I relished the aghast look of shock and fear in the eyes of the masked men who h

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Regrets

    Lucian's POV.It was my fault. As my eyes rested on Celeste's unconscious on the hospital bed, I beat myself up multiple times.I thought I was umto something good when I saved Evelyn. Little did I know that it was going to lead to this chaos. I was stupid to have ignored Evelyn's threats. I should have handled everything there and then before leaving that warehouse.I wasn't going forgive myself if Celeste didn't survive this. I felt blunt pain everytime I moved, but it was nothing compared to the fear and rage that had refused to let go of me.I felt a buzz in my phone, and I checked to see that it was a call. The last thing I wanted to do was talk to anyone, but it was the only way I could silence the rebuking voices in my head."Cassian", I muttered under my breath immediately I picked the call, so Celeste wouldn't be disturbed."First of all,. please tell me that she's okay." He said, the worry in his voice matching the worry on my face as I sent a glance at unconscious Celeste

    Lucian's POVI heaved a long sigh and kissed my teeth in rage.I called Evelyn's uncle's threat a bluff, but it turned out he was serious. Now I knew the danger that I'd gotten into, saving Evelyn. Now I knew how vicious her old man was, and I knew that there was no coming out of this without someone dying.“How much did he pay you?”“I… I can't release that information-”The amount of pressure I made on his wound made him scream in unimaginable pain until he couldn't take it anymore.“Okay!! Okay!! I'll tell you!! He paid us half a million, but he didn't pay us personally. We were paid through one of his gang members.“So he has a gang?”“Yes… he's the head of the Blackops cartel. The whole family works in dirty blood.”I tried to digest the information, along with the realization that this wasn't going to get easy.“I've told you what you want, just please… let me go! Please!!”“In your next life, be careful of the kind of profession you choose.”“Please!! Spare my life!! Pl-”I ba
