Livia's POV: I couldn't believe my eyes, why would Lucius choose those women when he clearly knows that and his mate, couldn't he have just rejected them? I couldn't just stand by and watch these women take my mate from me, I needed to do something fast to stop him from laying with them. It seems there would be no need for a battle since the Nightshade pack already came to sign a peace treaty with the Crescent Pack, so going out to meet Lucius wouldn't be a bad idea… he said I couldn't leave the villa confinement, technically I wouldn't.. When he sees me, he may likely reject those women, I hope. I quickly rushed out of my room, through the stairs and in no time, I was already out on the pavement just at the entrance of the building. I stared deeply at Lucius, almost to the extent that I felt I could see his soul. He didn't seem to notice me at first and kept on chatting heartily with Alpha Roshan. Wait! Aren't I making a mistake? What if Alpha Roshan recognizes me from the
Lucius' POV: Having Livia drink with him? In that instant I was almost covered in rage, but in the next moment I pushed that rage back. I looked at Alpha Roshan's face pupils had some slight trembling, I know now he and I are not the time to tear each other's pretense. Thinking of this I glanced at Alexander, this time I saw him give me a reassuring look, my heart instantly understood, then I looked at Alpha Roshan's face and put on a smile. "Of course, Livia you drink well with Alpha Roshan, do not lose my face!" After saying that I walked straight towards the far guest room with those two beautiful women in my arms. The people at the party were partying and the sounds gathered like boiling water, but the sounds only bored me. I waited until I got to the bed in the guest room and sat down, my mind was filled with the figures of Livia and Alpha Roshan, whose movements made me feel overwhelmingly prickly. Although I had instructed Adrian before, and there were many Crescent Pa
Livia's POV: Lucius was held up by them? This sentence is like a lightning bolt in my heart sparks. My whole person suddenly became incomparably sober, alert to the extreme, the mind inside some thoughts are disappearing, now is not the time to be sad. Nightshade Pack people why drag out Lucius, what other purpose do they have? When I thought of this, a lot of doubts suddenly appeared in my mind, why would Nightshade Pack people suddenly appear unannounced to make a sudden friendship with the Crescent pack… thinking about it now, this was exactly the same way they got to destroy my pack. My heart suddenly felt a burst of fear, then directly finished the wine in front of me, so that I became just as drunk, looking to the servant not far away and my voice also became blurred. "Wine ...... pour me some more wine! I want to drink ......" With that servant coming towards me, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Alpha Roshan glanced towards me, then continued to speak softly to
Lucius' POV: Where did Livia go? My eyes went towards the front little by little, but there was no Livia anywhere, Adrian and Alexander were having a drink with Alpha Roshan, and the seat where Livia was supposed to sit was empty. My heart suddenly became very heavy, like a boulder inside my heart, while a cold killing intent appeared in my eyes. If anything happens to Livia, I'll tear Alpha Roshan, the bastard, apart with my own hands even if I have to tear off my disguise! I hid my body once again in the shadows of the building and quickly explored my surroundings, my eyes barely missing every corner, and soon I was away from the feast. Where was Livia, where the hell had she been hidden? I felt as if I was burning with anxiety. I searched the parlor area, the kitchen, and the place where the Nightshade warriors are to stay, but found nothing. Just when I was about to lose my mind and start killing, I suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Where's Lucius...where's he gone!" It
Livia's POV: Those Nightshade Pack wolves didn't make a move. I was relieved to see that they didn't do anything, then I shook my body and shouted randomly with my mouth, pretending that I was in a drunken frenzy as I wandered around towards the surroundings. "How did Livia get so drunk, now what do we do?" "Let her be quiet and take her to rest, hurry up and catch up with her." At this time the voices of the two Crescent Pack warriors rang in my ears, followed by the sound of footsteps coming from behind as they tried to catch me left and right. They didn't know that I was pretending to be drunk, but I couldn't waste such an opportunity to be taken by them. I ripped their arms away hard and continued to wander towards the surroundings, then felt the traces around me with all my might, looking for where Lucius was. "She won't let us grab it, why don't we use some force?" "You're crazy, Livia is Alpha Lucius' lord's maid, we have to do our best to keep her safe, what if we hur
Lucius' POV: "Lucius, something's wrong! Alpha Roshan has got his wolves ready to attack our Crescent Pack!" When Livia's voice reached my ears, I could hardly believe what I was hearing, and all the doubts I had about her disappeared. He must have expected that I would gather all my elites here so that he could take this opportunity to attack my Crescent Pack! If I hadn't learned such information, I'm afraid the Crescent Pack would have been attacked by them without even knowing it, and when their attack was complete, they would have revealed their claws to us next! Alpha Roshan's smiling face appeared in my mind, and the anger inside my heart became more intense. This guy didn't just approach my Livia to get her to drink with him, he actually made such an intention, I really want to tear him apart right now. I glanced towards Livia, this time she was a huge credit. I looked at her face with some redness. It seems that some of the wine did not make her completely drunk, but a
Lucius' POV: "All warriors do not be afraid, although he is Alpha Lucius, but he is only one person, the woman next to him is not much of a threat, we are far outnumbered than them!" This fierce voice also carried some sinister inside, a giant reddish brown wolf who was a little stronger than the other warriors came out, his brown was not pure with some scars, I could tell in an instant that he was the Gamma of Nightshade Pack. I continued to look around and found that there were some other warriors of Nightshade Pack coming from other directions, all the roads were almost blocked by them, it seemed to become very difficult to kill out from here. My face became even colder, the power brought by the wolf jewel made my killing intent even more passionate, I want to tear all these guys who are in the way! "All of them!" At this time, with a command from Gamma of Nightshade Pack, those Nightshade Pack warriors around us rolled towards us like a wave, and I roared in anger, and my sh
Livia's POV: Before I could continue my attack, the wolves behind me had rushed up, and unlike the one that pounced directly, they stood in three separate positions, and I felt there were three simultaneous attacks coming towards my body! The sound of air being cut in my ears, three sharp claws blocked almost all the directions I could dodge, I adjusted my posture with all my might, but still one of the sharp claws landed on my body. A wound instantly appeared on my left shoulder, and the intense pain made me more conscious. My hind legs instantly shot up, and the next moment I was in the middle of two warriors, biting directly into the throat of one of them. A hard feeling came inside my mouth, I bit through this warrior's throat with all my might, but I felt the one behind me already lunging towards my body! Damn, these warriors are too strong, with my current training results I can't resist their siege! I felt some bitterness in my heart, the wind behind me was like the wind
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
Livia's POV:“Diana!” Martha hushed ,“where did you put the measurement?”Diana was startled by Martha's sudden sharp tone, “it isn't done yet.” She replied, startled by Martha's strict tone.“Then what are you doing, go,” Martha said the words for Diana's own goodness, unless she wants to turn into a corpse in the store. On her words, her assistance quickly scurried to finish the measurement.After her assistant had left, Martha then shifted her position to work outside and bowed in the presence of the Lord, “the shoes should be done by the end of the week, Milord.”“Wonderful,” Lucius retracted his hand from me. He stood up and I followed. I watched how Martha smiled at me with politeness and heard Lucius spoke, “Livia you could go in advance there is something I am going to request Matter to do.”I was curious but I went to leave the store as Lucius had said. Lucius’ POV:After I sent Livia on without me and heard the door click close, my smile turned to a different one where warm
Livia's POV:“Where is this street?” I asked as Lucius walked beside me, taking smaller strides to match my steps.I heard him say, “ this street is famous for people who would like to shop for shoes or clothing.” He then stopped for me to follow his steps and stop. “And this is the store I particularly like to shop when it comes to shoes.”I turned my head seeing the small store which didn't seem like a shoe store as there were no shoes displayed behind the glass which was against the door. If it was not for Lucius knowing the shop to be a shoe shop, I doubt I would notice the store to be one.We entered the persimmon painted store where the bell attached on the top of the door rang as it was pushed. Entering inside, I was awed by the amount of shoes. Outside, the shoes weren't visible to see as behind the glass was covered by an open wardrobe. There were many types of shoes which sparkled.“Good evening, my Lord, welcome to my humble store,”. Said the woman who came from behind the
Lucius’ POV;“A gap.” I repeated. It didn't seem like Livia knew who the fragile existence I meant was. It was right in front of me now, The fragile beam that I was afraid if I use some pressure it would break her which is why I'm taking everything slowly.Taking everything slowly was hard, I thought to myself and I didn't know when my patience would run thin.My dark gaze stayed on her lips that had spoken, looking lucious with the wet drop of saliva as she ran her tongue over it to moisten it.The urge to devour her came to surface which I managed to hold down.“I will try to do that from now on, and continuing from earlier, I assume you have taken notice of me repeating this many times, tell me what is in your mind Livia, all of it. I don't mind if you are being noisy, rather perhaps that would sound good in its own way.”Livia parted her pursed lips. She breathed in heavily before gathering her courage to say. “If I keep receiving from Alpha Lucius, I would be unable to keep you o
