Livia’s POV: The scenery kept changing until we reached a part of the forest I was familiar with. Then I knew we were back within the Pack's boundaries. He didn't stop running and kept on going deep into the forest towards the pack. I was a bit confused at this but decided not to question him, the forest gradually began to clear out and I could see the tall buildings of the pack up ahead. “Once we get noticed by others?” I finally asked. “Are you trying to hide anything from anyone?” He said looking back at me. “Oh, I forgot. I'm just used to hiding away from people.” I didn't realize how stupid I sounded until I was done talking and I immediately regretted why I opened my mouth to speak. The training building stood tall in the center of the pack and as we passed by the building, I could tell it wouldn't be long before we reached the villa. He reduced his pace at this moment, maybe because he took into consideration what I said earlier. One could hardly detect him if he was
Livia’s POV: I turned my back to look at the person who just spoke, and I swallowed hard when I saw that it was madam kalliope. “Madam Kalliope, you're still up by this time?” I said with a quivering voice as beads of sweat gathered on my forehead. “That's not the answer to the question I asked, what are these flowers doing here?” Her face was void of emotions. I couldn't tell if she was angry or just disturbed by the presence of the flowers. “I… I want to make a syrup with it.” I stammered because I knew she knew the effects of the flowers. “What kind of syrup? You are Alpha Xandros’ personal maid and you know as much as I do that he is allergic to these flowers.” She said coming closer to me. “I know madam kalliope, but that's the exact reason why I need the flowers. Alpha Xandros is trying so hard to force himself on me but once he notices that he is allergic to the smell that comes from me he will have no choice but to back away.” I said, trying to get her to see reasons wit
Livia’s POV: I picked up a medium size bowl as I took the flowers and started to pluck out its petals one after the other into it. They both possess a pleasant smell but would smell poisonous to Alpha Xandros, my lips curved into a smirk at this thought. “Madam kalliope, why is Alpha Xandros called alpha when he's yet to be crown ruler?” I asked, still concentrated on plucking the flowers. “That's the Royal order and no one does disobey it. In less than three months now he would be crowned alpha and it wouldn't matter anymore.” “The coronation is a great event we all are looking forward to as we would get to witness the Jewel of Camelot as it transfers its energy to the newly crowned Alpha.” she looked up as if trying to recall something. “The Jewel of Camelot? I haven't heard of that before.” I raise my eyes to meet with that of madam kalliope and her lips curved into a smile. “It's a jewel possessed only by The Crescent Pack. This part of the forest was once called Camelot be
Livia’s POV: It's dawn already? It helps like I had just fallen asleep a few moments ago. I quickly went into the bathroom and bathed with cold water as there was no time to prepare a hot bath. I washed my hair with the shampoo Madam Kalliope had provided for me. I inhaled deeply as my nostrils were filled with the heavenly scent of the hibiscus and rose flower shampoo. I left my body to dry naturally as I was focused on my hair, using a face towel to dry it. I walked into the room and came to stand before the dressing mirror. I looked at my full reflection in the mirror and couldn't help but admire my body which I had left bare with no coverage. I use my hands to feel the skin from the nape of my neck to my breasts which was just a little bigger than an average sized Orange. I used both my hands to feel my stomach which was as flat as a pancake, I wondered where all the food I ate was stored. My hand then came down to rest on my hips, this was the only powerful weapon I possessed
Livia’s POV: Adrian brought me to a group of young werewolves. These young wolves were all adolescent wolves. Looking a little weaker than the adult Ace. They seemed to be the weakest group of all the training teams. “You can train with them for now if you can't hold on, don't force yourself to continue.” I didn't refuse his offer. I knew that I was not physically capable of matching those powerful werewolves now. “Adrian I hope you are strict with me. I promise you that I will be able to complete all the training,” I said seriously towards him. Adrian nodded in satisfaction, though I could still feel the worry in his eyes for me. The training began. The first exercise was a physical running exercise. I ran along with the teenage werewolves. The wind blew past my ears, and I could feel that although these teenage werewolves were physically weaker than the adult werewolves, they were still stronger than me. I couldn't lag behind, I had to train with all my strength. This trai
Livia’s POV: I stood still before the room of Alpha Xandros with his lunch in my hands, not because I wished to but because my legs had failed me again. I had already zeroed my mind to fight back against him if the syrup failed to work. The door finally opened after what seemed like ages and I went in after Alpha Xandros had given the permission for me to come in. “Finally, you're back, I have been anticipating your return.” I could feel his gaze lingering in me as he eyed my body. “Yes, I…I'm here to deliver your lunch,” he didn't let me finish before cutting my sentence. “Yeah, yeah, I know you're here to deliver my lunch, drop it on the stool over there and come to me, you're what I want for lunch.” I felt disgusted by his words and more disgusted as I saw him licked his lips and rubbed his palm against the other. I closed my eyes and said a silent prayer to the moon goddess in my heart before bending slightly to drop the plates on the stool. I used the corner of my eyes to c
Livia’s POV: “Aren't you the new maid?” One of his mistresses asked while I cleaned her feet. I nodded. “Have you ever been intimate with a man?” Her question made me stop in my tracks. I was not used to speaking about intimate things. “Oh, come on. Don't be shy, we're very open here.” Another one of his mistresses spoke. “So tell us. Do you think Alpha Xandros can give you multiple orgasms? Does he appear as the passionate and erotic or sensual type for you?” “You know he is all that and more.” Another one spoke and then continued speaking about him. “I hear the Alpha also wants you as his mistress, but you are refusing. Is it more fun to wash his mistresses feet?” She looked at me with genuine curiosity. I could understand her. Many women fought for that position and here I was refusing, but she couldn't understand me. I wasn't all these women. I am Livia. “I must tell you how stupid you are. Men use women, they use us for our bodies, and you, my dear need to be smart. Us
Livia’s POV: He stood up from his seat then walked up to me. “I have been thinking…” he began thoughtfully, “if I want you to like me, I have to treat you well, right?” Was he delusional? I scoffed. “I will never like you. You attacked my pack and took me captive.” “Its nothing personal, that's just how war is and everyone does what they have to do to protect themselves. You should also do what's best to protect yourself and it's not being on my bad side.” “You speak of liking while threatening me.” He was unbelievable. “Look, look,” he watched even closer then grabbed my chin before looking into my eyes. “You can be more than just a mistress if you stand by my side. By a very powerful Alpha's side. Think about it.” He said in a low voice. “There's nothing to think about.” Ignoring my remark. “I'll give you some time to think.” He said before leaving without further discussion. I let out a sigh before I carefully sat down to stop my shaking legs. I wasn't tough. All these w
Livia's POV:“But now, I think I have begun loving winter and that is because of you. You make my days full of warmth, and that's also because you are a warm person.”Lucius swipe his finger under my eyes, his smile wasn't full of mischief but kindness and gentleness one could never guess they could see from him.“Sweetheart, you have gotten smooth in seducing me aren't you? Sometimes it worries me that you could seduce people while not knowing it. How do you like the dress?”I was now covered and felt less nervous than before. Turning to the mirror, my eyes stopped at the red dress. The color was almost the same as Lucius red eyes which burnt red that complemented my pale skin and silvery white hair. It looked heavy but when I tried to move, I noticed how light it was despite the many layers that I wore. I wondered if I could go running in the dress.“It's the best gown I've ever worn in my entire life.” I said with a tone of delight.If a dress was enough to make Livia happy, he wo
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
