Livia’s POV: He crouched down looking directly into my eyes, I could feel his impatience, it's made me somewhat satisfied death I could torture him this way. No matter how powerful he seems to be, my resistance will surely win over. He grabbed my hand and I greeted my teeth in pain as I felt his grip tightening on my hand, he yanked my hand pulling me up and I took the opportunity to look into his eyes, just one glance and I sensed he was no longer in his sane mind. This bastard doesn't even have the real power to control himself. He suddenly held me by the hem of my blouse and forcefully ripped it apart, the tearing sound of my dress made me realize I had no advantage on my side. My entire upper body was exposed to him except for the thin top I wore underneath which did little to cover my breast leaving my upper chest and lower abdomen exposed. I saw him licked his needs as he was about to tear the last layer of clothing I had on, but a knock sounded on the door. He paused for
Livia’s POV: “See Livia…” he said, coming closer to me. “If you have me by your side nothing and nobody can harm you.” Oh, right. Nobody could harm me except him. If he thought I would throw myself in his arms in exchange for safety then he was dead wrong. “I rather take the lashes,” I said with clenched fists. He clenched his jaw and looked like he was about to slap me. He brought his hand up in the air, I didn't flinch but then he gestured for the maids to come. “Take her to the kitchen and give her more work in place of the beatings. No work, no food and if she tries to steal, cut off her arms.” he said with an angry expression. “Yes, my lord.” I followed the maids without fighting but it seemed like they wanted a fight. They would give me a push now and then as we made our way to the kitchen and once we arrived they turned my life into hell. “You just have to endure, child if you still want to continue with your training, try your best to finish your chores in time and be
Lucius' POV: I quietly followed them, completely abandoning my training, wanting to know what this weekend was thinking of, whether she was tough or just pretending to be, I just needed to check it out on the spot. The training Hall is very well equipped with all kinds of equipment to exercise strength as this is the most important building in the pack, it is here that the pack’s most powerful warriors are trained and every warrior will need to go through the baptism of sweat and blood here to enable them become real soldiers. I looked in the direction where Livia was, her test had already begun. The rule of the Crescent Pack states that all new members entering into the training ground must be tested by warriors who have a lot of combat experience. Only by getting beaten up before training can they be made aware of the cruelty of the training ground. I guess the young warrior had some pity on her, that's why he didn't introduce this to her yesterday. My current position was som
Livia’s POV: The battle continued as I dodged his attacks and attacked Ace with all my strength. His body was like a hard stone and my attacks were too useless. In a few minutes, I felt that my strength was about to run out and my body became slow. My dodging movement became overwhelming and suddenly he hit me in the shoulder with a punch. The pain came from my shoulder as my body swayed and almost fell from the tremendous force of the blow. I felt like I was hit by a rock. No! I had to hold on until the end! The pain was well within my tolerance! I greeted my teeth tightly and strained against his attacks. Now I can barely do anything to attack him, I can only keep defending, but my defense was becoming more and more difficult. A breakthrough! Ace kicked me in the leg, but this time I didn't have the strength to continue holding back. The tremendous Force made me lose my balance instantly, I fell to the ground uncontrollably. I had lost again! “You're a very tenacious girl
Livia's POV: I was still in the middle of taking a bite out of the long bread when I heard a sudden slamming in front of me and I steadied my eyes tensely at a woman who stood before me. She had a very bright face and a white kind smile across her face, proving her to be a very friendly person. As she named herself I returned her smile with another one and heard another voice from behind. “I told you not to surprise her, didn't I? Did you forget how many people you have scared of due to your rough personality?” She added from behind a snappy voice. Yuva turned her head, shrugging her shoulders, and took a seat across from me. Duh,l that isn't my fault here, and I don't call it rough! It's called being friendly, you know!” She rolled her eyes. “Yes yes, friendly to the point you scare someone off, that's the first time I've ever heard of that.” Her cynical tone added to her cold nature and a black hair but Ylva didn't take her friend's chidding tone to heart and seemed to be v
Livia’s POV: After lunch, the head maid gave me more and more work for everyday that passed along with insulting comments. At first, I used to get angry, but then I realized why they hated me so much. People like me who haven't gotten a reason to work as much as people like them do to make a living, but I still never got to leave a luxurious life, still I had no right to complain when this was their daily life since they were young. “Watch these as well.” One maid said throwing more clothes at me. “And stop being so slow and hurry now!” She ordered. A few maid giggled as they watched me from a distance. “Would you mind helping instead of giggling?” I called. “Of course!” She said then kicked dirt at the clothes that I had already washed. Now all of them laughed. Anger boiled inside of me but I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. When I calmed down I opened my eyes and stood up. This was enough and I will teach her a lesson this time. “Nancy!” Madam Kalliope stood at the
Livia’s POV: One afternoon, after training I had gone to perform my task to clean the west wing of the villa. Partly due to the fact that I was one of the few mates who haven't wolfed out yet and the slowly growing jealousy and envy of the other maids that saw the likeness Alpha Xandros had for me, I didn't have that much people to talk to. While sweeping the long hall, a senior maid with long curly brown hair called out to me. “Livia.” I turned my head, I didn't know most of the maids name as I was a new maid and I thought it would be rude for me to ask so I replied briefly while hiding my nescience. “What can I help you with?” “Do you know how to cook?” I nodded. “Yes, but not that well…” before I could finish my words, she clapped her hands. “Good! Come with me now! We are in a hurry for dinner preparation. “Let's go!” I didn't get the chance to ask what type of dinner I was supposed to help with. When I arrived at the kitchen, she led me to peel some potatoes and I sat the
Livia’s POV: The Moon was out again and this night I set out to go into the forest as I needed to calm my nerves and feel nature around me a lot more. At this moment, I remembered my favorite tree on the rogues Pack which I named grandma, how I had missed her so much, all I needed now was to hug her and feel her soothing embrace. I let my hair flow freely down my neck this time so as to cover the site of my face where Alpha Xandros had slapped me, not wanting to attract the attention of outsiders to me. I didn't think there was any need for me to hide from the guards anymore as I already traded my services and strength for permission to freely go in and out of the building, it's not like I plan on running away either. The marks on my face and the one to my body which I had gotten from severe hard tasks had already started to heal and had turned from red to somewhat purpleish and very soon not a single scar will be left on my body, except if new ones would be inflicted. It was
Livia's POV:I didn't actually feel pain when Lucius' hand whipped my bottom. It didn't feel hurt, and even if it did, the pain was quickly shifted to a tingle of pleasure when Lucius' finger gently caressed there.Still flustered, I stuttered to explain, “I-I wasn't trying to provoke you. I was genuinely curious as to what punishment,” speaking about it again made me want to find the nearest hole to hide in, and quickly I said, “we are going to be late. Can you help me with the corset?” “Okay, we can't be late after all the preparation we did.” Lucius pulled himself from my shoulders and I met his eyes before quickly showing my back.I felt him begin to pull the laces of my corset tightly, trying not to speak, I felt each pill of his hand tug my body from behind. Once the corset had been secured to a tie, I saw Lucius being gentlemanly enough to turn his back.Taking the chance, I quickly wore my petticoat to cover my legs before wearing my stockings which I later realized I had wor
Livia's POV:I could sense a shivering tone from his whisper, and even though I felt cold, my skin that was caressed felt warm on every movement of his fingertips.“You are a werewolf not a wolf, wolves eat people,” I whispered, meeting my eyes with his blazing ones from the mirror. “You wouldn't eat me, would you?”“I would,” he responded, noticing a raise of my eyes which widened, sweetheart the word ‘eat’ doesn't mean biting and munching you, there are many other meanings and I think you know now?”Lucius drawled when he saw my entire face burning in red.“D-do you know how to tie the laces?” I quickly deviated his attention from me to our talk. Being in one room was enough to make my body tingle, and it was even worse when we were in an enclosed room where each of our breaths felt as if it brushed each other.“I do. Spending many years in plans of revenge, you would pick up a few things to learn, be it a dress or painting or falling off cliffs,” Lucius ran his fingers through my l
Livia's POV:The first thing I noticed was the stone work on the collar of the dress which sparkled.I trailed my finger to the dress to feel the softness of the fabric and I could only watch with my face amazed.The dress was beyond beautiful in my entire life, I had never seen such a beautiful dress. Everything about the design was made meticulously to the smallest detail which was paid attention to in order to create the gorgeous piece.“The one who made this dress came from the south , where the best fabrics are made, which was why it took much more time than I thought it would, but seeing the dress now, spending the time was worth it.”He explained, his eyes not staying away from my smile that was wide with shyness and impressed.“Do you like it?” The question came from Lucius who watched my delighted expression with a satisfied smile.I looked at him before I nodded my head fervently. “I love it! This is very beautiful,” I could tell how much work was poured into the dress and L
Livia's POV:My cheeks immediately turned red as I tried to find the right words to speak, but after what Lucius had told me with his seductive smile, I felt as if something had stuck on my throat, and somewhere I was sure that it was my heart jammed on my throat.“What is this?” I asked, trying to force the heat on my cheeks and ears away by deviating his attention to my question.“What do you think? It's a dress that I had someone tailor for you,” Lucius entered my room seamlessly as if it was the most natural thing for him to do, dragging me inside, he closed the door behind him.A dress? I watched how Lucius made his way to the corner of my bed. His hand took the dress that Alpha Alexander gave me to take it to his hand, and next he placed it on the floor using it as some sort of foot rag.“Ah!” A gasp escaped from my lips when seeing the beautiful dress being rubbished on the floor.Hearing the concerned gasp from my lips, Lucius, who had taken a seat on the side of my bed took h
Livia's POV:I opened the box and my eyes stopped to see the blue dress which was folded neatly inside the box pulling the dress, I saw the dress which was made from a fabric that was soft to my touch. The skirt of the dress was long enough to touch the floor as I spread the dress. It was gorgeous.With the days passing by fast, I forgot to question Lucius about the attire I would be wearing, leaving me with almost nothing presentable enough to wear to the Ball.I only remembered the need for a dress last night, and spent your rest of the day thinking about what to wear to the Winter Ball.Lucius is a person of power and high status, I wouldn't want to go to an event like the Winter Ball with worn out and shabby clothes. It wouldn't look good on Lucius.Lucius told me not to worry about how I looked, but today I would be attending the Ball with him, and even if it was only for once, I want to look good in a beautiful dress.Sitting on the bed, I stared at the dress again. This dress w
Livia's POV:“You could choose whether to reply or not.” Lucius stated only to throw me to a maze of puzzles.Didn't he tell me not to be associated with Alpha Alexander? Then why did he now tell me that it was up to my choice whether to answer?I darted my eyes from Lucius to the envelope I placed on the table. When I saw him looking as if he was about to leave, I stood up from the bed, “Alpha Lucius… There has been a certain rumor going around the Pack. Are you and Lady Eleanor of Gray Pack in a relationship?”Lucius turned the side of his face towards me, an expression of confusion passed by his face when he hummed. Maybe I had the wrong impression from the rumors about him and Lady Eleanor, but I know they get to see often as most of the meetings Lucius attended lately were held in Grey Pack.“Will I be inside a room at night with a woman if I am?” Clearly Lucius didn't care about the rumors, he just wanted me not to misunderstand.“I may be a bastard of a person but believe me I
Livia's POV:“Did he touch you?” On the question, Lucius' gold eyes turned fierce before me and an intimidating air came to lace his voice.I was now pinned under his arm on the bed and I felt the situation was getting out of hand. I didn't know if I should move and my heart felt thumping even louder than when I was at that cliff.I opened my pursed lips and shook my head, “He didn't but,” I drawled my lips quivering when I saw Lucius' face was just a few inches from me.It was hard for me or anyone to keep our eyes away from Lucius. His handsome face and strong features only met one's heart when staring at him from afar and now I have to look at him with the distance of a palm of a hand. With both Lucius' hands over the side of my face, I had no way to go.“But?” Lucius saw me biting my lower lips and leaned his face forward for me to try sinking my head even lower to the pillow my head settled on.“Continue Livia, don't stop talking now, you are making me very curious.” “I accident
Livia's POV:“We've been revealing a lot about ourselves these past few days but you never thought of telling me.” As he spoke there were bits of disappointment in his eyes I could see that squeezed my heart.I didn't want Lucius to misunderstand me as someone who was hiding the fact and quickly spoke, “ I forgot to say it,” I said when I felt Lucius pulling my arm, bringing me to raise my back from the bed and pushed my body to rest on the place where he had slept on.My heart leaped out of its bound, my eyes panicked when I looked up but when I did I couldn't look anywhere else other than his eyes. Lucius placed his hands on the side of my head, pushing the pillow my head was resting on. His handsome face showed the observing look and I could see him feeling somewhere curious yet displeased. The thought that we were on the bed set my nerves haywire. “You forgot? Even though I know well how smart you are, sweetheart? There shall be no more secrets between us from today henceforth a
Livia's POV:I gulped, my heartbeat began to race in fear sensing that I was not alone in my room, and a very familiar presence was present with me.What made my blood feel like it was turning cold was the fact that I had properly locked my door but maybe not my windows, could this be my unconsciousness?Livia! I shouted in my mind. If this was a dream. I could wake up and solve the problem.Fortunately for me, my legs didn't fail me and I made my way to my bed which was the safest place I had right now. I could use my blanket as a protective barrier and its embracing warmth might be able to dispel this fear.Quickly pushing myself to the bed, I pulled the quilt to turn and see the glass window before feeling unsafe and turned my face to the other side of the bed when my emerald eyes met the gold pair of eyes.Surprised, my eyes widened and my body sprang back but as if it was Lucius' aim for me not to ever move back, my body stopped awkwardly where my hands was one on my back, seemin
