Lucy"I can not believe this is you. How have you been? Your adoptive parents?" She had ushered us into her office which was neat and tidy. When Teck had done background check on her, there had been no pictures, just her name and the address of her orphanage."Uh..." I didn't know what to answer. My heart was racing in apprehension? Nerves? Fear? What was it? Was Armando right? Did I have a sibling out there? "We're here for answers, Miss Fegrin." Armando spoke up.She furrowed her brows in puzzlement, her gaze glancing back and forth at Armando and me. Then her green eyes settled on me. "What is wrong, Luciana?"I was suddenly felt tongue-tied. This was the moment of truth, why was I not speaking? Was I suddenly scared of finding the truth? "She's not Luciana. Her name is Lucy." Armando replied."You do know short for Luciana is Lucy right?." Miss Fegrin said, she leaned forward, propping her arms on the desk before her. "Although she did not like being called Lucy. It was always
LucyRING RING!!!!!!!!!!My peaceful slumber was abruptly interrupted by the loud ringing of my phone, jolting me awake from a deep sleep. Groaning softly, I fumbled blindly around the bed, my hand searching for the source of the disturbance. But instead of the familiar cold touch of my cell phone, my palm collided with something warm and solid, sending a jolt of alarm coursing through my veins.Blinking blearily, my sleepy gaze focused on the unfamiliar face that loomed before me, watching me sleep. My heart leaped in my chest as I registered the presence of a stranger in my bed. As I studied his features, I noticed his chiseled jawline, tousled dark hair cascading gently over his forehead, and the faint hint of a dimple when he breathed softly . Despite my initial shock, I couldn't deny that he was quite handsome."Who are you?" I demanded, my voice edged with a hint of steel as I reached for the pistol concealed beneath my pillows. "And what the hell are you doing in my bed?" I add
Lucy As I rode through the city streets on my power bike , the roar of the engine drowned out my thoughts. Despite the rush of adrenaline that came with the ride, a sense of discontent gnawed at my heart.Maintaining romantic relationships, felt like an impossible feat when I couldn't even be honest about who I truly was. And as for finding my mate, well, that seemed like a distant dream, shattered time and time again by the harsh reality of my existence. I was born to kill. That's one thing I know how to do, and I do it quite excellently. But lately, I've been feeling lost. I've been trying to find myself. I feel like I can do something better with my life. I've had enough with the blood money and looking over my shoulders.Finally arriving at the base nestled within the heart of the city's nightlife, I was greeted by a sea of flashing lights and pulsating music. Despite the throng of people clamoring for entry outside the Red Lotus Clubhouse, I was granted passage with a mere nod t
Lucy"Wait," Alpha Jax called out from behind me, making me halt in my tracks. "Have you lost your mind?" he added, his tone laced with incredulity. "I'm the head of the High Table. To go against me is to go against the Ace of Spades. And you know what this means, right?"I turned around slowly, my face void of any smile. "Consequences. Yes, I am well aware," I replied evenly, meeting his gaze head-on.Alpha Jax pulled out a stick of cigar from his jacket and lit it up, his movements deliberate and intimidating. He held my gaze as he took a puff of smoke, the air around us thick with tension. "Do you think you can handle the smoke?" he challenged, his voice low and gravelly.I held his gaze with a touch of confidence, refusing to back down. "Doesn't matter what I can handle or can't handle. You're the one leaving me with no choice," I retorted, my voice steady despite the rising tension.Alpha Jax shook his head after another puff of smoke, a flicker of resignation crossing his featur
LucyWith a wide grin on his face, Alpha Jax folded his hands together and remarked, "Perfect, enjoy the rest of your night."Swiftly, he turned around and walked towards the door, his men following closely behind."Wait," I called out, making him halt in his tracks."Is there a problem, Angel of Death?" he responded, turning around slowly, his expression a mix of curiosity and impatience.I stood up from my seat, gently placing the glass back on the table and wiping the remnant of the whiskey from my lips. "This guy," I began, holding up the photograph, "you still haven't told me why you want to kill him so desperately."Alpha Jax twitched his face as if displeased with my question. "That's my business, Night Star," he replied curtly, his tone leaving no room for argument. "And your business is to make sure he dies.""I know, I know," I responded, glancing at the picture once more. "But this guy, he looks so majestic, almost perfect if you ask me. I wonder what he might have done for
LucyMy breath caught in my throat, my eyes widened in alarm. But before I could regain my balance and make sense of what had just happened, strong legs flipped me, and my back landed on the bed. He hovered over me shirtless, only his lower frame was clothed. The knife was now in his possession, the image of him slipped out of my jacket and he examined it in shock.“you were sent to kill me right,tell me who it is ? who in hell paid you to kill me?!” He growled, his eyes flashing a different color. I was werewolf enough to know it was his wolf trying to take over. His eyes burned with anger, and his expression was brutal enough to make anyone shiver in fear. But I was not just anyone.That strange feeling was still attacking my senses. Laia was saying some words I could not understand.“What is wrong with you, Laia?” I asked, using our telepathic connection. Every werewolf communicated telepathically with their wolves. She continued to say crazy things. Incomprehensible things. I tri
ARMANDOI saw the look of panic cross her features, even though she was trying to act tough , I could still see the fear in her eyes, I was only a few weeks in the city and someone was already trying to kill me, I was determined to get to the bottom of this and I wasn't playing around, I had no intention of killing her, but Caden my wolf wouldn't let me even if I wanted to , so I aimed the gun in an angle in which the bullets would only graze her skin, and then I pulled the trigger, she swiftly tilted her head sideways and the bullet merely grazed the skin on her neck and shattered the window behind her.The smirk I had on nanoseconds ago vanished to be replaced by a curious frown. What was that on her neck? a tattoo, I can swear to the moon goddess that I had seen that tattoo somewhere before, but I just couldn't remember where, it was a star image, and it rang a very strong bell.I approached her, closing the gap between us. She was still confined to the chair I tied her in."What i
LUCYThankfully it was dark, when I made my escape, diving into the pool and no one could register my face, even if they did, they would barely remember what I looked like . When I heard the policemen's voice, I knew I could not remain in that room. It was one thing to have my cover blown and another to be caught. If they had caught me and identified me as the Night Star, I might as well kiss my freedom goodbye.I was never seeing the light of day again, even if the ace of spade tried to use their influence.Desperate times really called for desperate measures. I had no idea how I had been able to achieve that feat of escaping even though I was tied to a chair, thankfully Armando's room had a pool side view.But that feat, though successful, had resulted in many bruises and an almost broken bone. I limped hurriedly, and hopped on my bike parked a few streets away from the hotel and sped off as fast as I could, desperate to reach home . I was fucking tired and exhausted, This mission t
