Diane's POVMy heart was beating, my body was melting, and my core was dripping... And for the first time, I wanted him just as badly as he wanted me with no regrets.I knew that I was going to blame it on the fact that, I wanted him to forget about questioning me in regards to what I was doing in the library or even what I was talking about with Keith but the truth was, I needed him to touch me.I kissed him back with the same passion as he was giving. Our lips lapped against one another as we sucked and licked, till my toes were tickling with desire.His right hand descended my body and he pulled away the towel I had wrapped over my skin...His hand cupped my breasts and I let out a gasp as he began to softly caress and squeeze them between his fingers. My nipples were aching with need and as if he heard me, he broke off from my mouth and began kissing my neck, leaving trails of butterflies everywhere that his lips touched.The pressure between my legs increased and I let out a moan
Diane's POVI sat in a corner crying inwardly at how badly my plan was failing. All I could do was take note of all the shelves; the number of times people walked in and out; the food; and how Lucius moved around the large space.But as my eyes fixed on Lucius and I watched him closely —he was so invested in the files that were before him— I started calculating a crazy move.What if I pretended to help him rearrange the office? What if I proposed fixing his files —which technically were already arranged but I could try my luck?This would give me the chance I needed to go through all the files without any suspicions.A smile came to my lips as the idea started taking shape in my head. All I had to do now was to start from the farthest drawer possible. It would help me find the document I needed and when I did, I just had to worry about how to bring it out of the office without bringing it to Lucius's notice.Oh well, they always said when at a crossroads, the solution would come. All
Lucius's POVWe marched out with Keith till we got to the throne room where a very battered soldier sat wincing on the floor."Why the hell isn't he in the fucking clinic?" I yelled at Keith.He opened his mouth to speak but closed it as if he was thinking of the right words to say and then he bowed."I am sorry my King, I thought you would want to talk to him first before we take him to the clinic..." He replied.My wolf twisted and all I wanted to do at that moment was to claw a good portion of his skin off and then let him sit there on a floor for a while before allowing him to get treatment so he could understand how it felt. But he was an alpha, the least I could do was accord him some forgiveness.So, I turned to Lucas;"Get some guards outside to call the doctor and the nurses. Make sure they bring first aid, we can discuss with him after that has been given," I growled.Lucas knew better than to argue, he nodded his head and quickly stepped out of the throne room to get the or
Diane's POVMy heart did a double flip and it felt like a part of me broke off as fear and hope mixed within me. I knew that it was too much to wish for but what if...What if Owen was my son?The date was the same. The hospital was the same. And in all cases, there was no information about his birth mother.I had to leave this place. I had to get to the City Hospital. I had to speak to the doctors there. I needed to know if Owen was my son...Adrenaline was coursing through my veins and all I wanted to do at that very moment was to take Owen and leave. I had to take him to the hospital.But I had to calm myself. The last time I tried escaping, it ended badly. I didn't even make it far enough before Lucius caught me.This time, I had to think every step through, so I wouldn't get betrayed again.Sophie was coming for me but I didn't know how long she would take to get here. And then again, what if Lucius's men didn't let them take me?Then he would know that I was still trying to run
Diane's POVMy heart was literally in the pit of my stomach as I ran down the parking lot with Owen in my arms. A part of me wanted to run back to Lucius and probably talk this out with him, maybe he would take me to that hospital. Maybe we would come to the bottom of this faster. Maybe I didn't have to do this.An image of him smiling at me this morning caught in my throat and I was almost starting to rethink my decision but I shook my head and pushed forward.Lucius was a monster. He made me marry me forcefully by kidnapping my family.I would rather find out about Owen on my own because if it truly turned out that he was my child, then I had to take him as far away from Lucius and his men as possible.I continued down the corridors and kept praying that the guards would not notice my presence there.But so far so good, Keith had been right. The guards seemed to be busy about something and they barely paid me any attention.By the time I finally got to the parking lot, I started let
Lucius's POV"Thank you very much, my king. This is wonderful news," he said bowing gently.I waved my hand in the air and pulled him up quickly; "Please, we are family. You don't have to bow to me, especially when we are alone," I said to him with a small smile."No, I need to give you the right amount of respect. You are a good man. Thank you once again," he added.I nodded at him, "So, when do you plan to leave?"His brows rose above their normal line as if what I had said was a surprise to him."The thing is, I plan on taking Diane to the city for a few days just for her to relax a bit... So if you aren't in a hurry we can plan the trip together," I further explained to avoid any confusion.But the look on his face didn't change."You want to take Diane to the city? Is that safe?" He asked and it was my turn to raise my brows.We haven't told anyone about Jolynn's incident as we were still trying to put together the circumstances surrounding it and what could have been the cause.
Lucius's POVAnger so thick it filled up my entire body. I couldn't think of anything else but how angry I was.How could I have been so stupid?Diane had played me. I had stupidly thought she was finally starting to understand; that she could feel the bond between us. I thought she felt the butterflies that sizzled through our bodies when I touched her.I thought she wanted as much as I wanted her. I gave her everything. I allowed her to do whatever she wanted.And in the end, she chose to pay me back by making a fool of me.Here I was making plans on how I was going to take her to the city she so much wanted. I was making silly plans on how to make her happy but all that went on in her head was how she could leave me.My heart clenched with such an ache, I didn't even know what to feel. At one point I was disappointed. In another way, I felt betrayed. And deep in my soul, I was angry.I was angry that she could still think of leaving me after everything I tried to do to make her hap
Lucius's POVHer words felt like a knife had gone through my heart and the resulting pain pushed me over the edge as a blinding rage came over me.I grabbed her roughly and shook her as I glared into her face."What do you mean by they took him?! Who took him? What did you do to him?!" I roared, my voice echoing in the surrounding bushes.Tears filled her eyes as she helplessly look around like Owen was supposed to be there. Her movements only increased my anger because it was now very clear that she had no idea where he was."I don't know... I don't know where he is," she cried out, confirming my suspicions.My wolf was hurting and I could feel the pain within her as well but I refused to give in to our bond. She had overdone it and there was no coming back from it.The anger and pain within me blended and created a blinding force that pushed me close to losing my sanity."You fucking took him from me and now you have lost him! How dare you Diane?" I roared.My hands fisted and I was
