Diane's POVMy heart almost tore open as her words hit me. My eyes moved down to the bags in her hand and back to her face.I stepped away from the door and hugged myself. "Lucius," I called, not knowing what to say.I didn't know what to feel or what to think. My mind just went blank completely and I was left like a porcelain doll. I just stood by the door, watching as Jolynn carried her bag into the house even before Lucius could join me."What the hell are you doing here?" He roared at her.She pushed her bleached hair away from her face and smiled. "Come on my love, help me settle in before you begin to ask so many questions. Is she the maid?" She asked, pointing a finger in my direction."Are you crazy? Jolynn have you fucking lost your mind?!" He yelled. "That is my wife you are talking to...""Oh, but that is not what you told the council a while ago..." Lucius froze.Lucius looked at me and then at her. He looked confused if that was the right word to use. His expression was
Diane's POVWithout waiting for her response I turned away and moved out of the kitchen at once with anger flaring inside of me.I longer had an appetite and all I wanted to do was launch the oatmeal on someone but I held it all in.With my eyes completely clouded with anger, I ran into a wall."Shit!" I hissed as my balance on the bowl loosened and it slipped to the floor, the ceramic plate shattering on impact."I am so sorry." His voice filled the space between us, and that was when I realized that it wasn't a wall I had run into, it was Lucius.My anger seemed to shift away from the fake blonde in the kitchen to the man in front of me.Ignoring him, I bent down and started picking the pieces of the bowl."Leave it, let me do that," Lucius said, joining me on the floor.I blinked, my anger increasing to a higher level as I felt his fingers brush over mine."Stop it, Lucius!" I yelled, glaring at him.His eyes looked hurt but I didn't care. I knew his game and I knew what he was cap
Lucius's POVI took the phone from Jolynn and walked out of the room at once, my wolf already boiling with disappointment at my failure to defend our mate."Alpha Kasper, why are you calling?" I hissed."Oh, I didn't call. Jolynn did and she said you wanted to speak to me..." He responded on the phone and then it occurred to me that it was all a part of her game.I sharply turned back to the room, my patience completely exhausted."I am sorry for the disturbance, Alpha Kasper. Jolynn must have made a mistake," I said and ended the call before he could even respond.With red eyes, I moved back to the room and met the room thick with tension as the two women glared at one another."Oh, you are back. What did he say?" She chirped innocently like she wasn't aware of the damage she was causing.Not wanting to explode in front of Diane, I grabbed Jolynn by the arm and led her out of the room roughly."Have you lost your mind?" I hissed, pushing her against the wall.She smiled and bathed he
Diane's POV"So she lives here now?" Sophie asked as we sat at the pool, enjoying the sun on our skin."Well, apparently, she does and there is nothing I can do about it!" I puffed, wishing I could just turn back time and return to the moment I had accepted to work for Redskin in the first place.This way, I wouldn't have met Owen and Lucius wouldn't have asked me to marry him.I wouldn't be in the dilemma I was in right now."And Lucius hasn't said anything?" Sophie's voice slowly took up a higher pitch as she kept glaring at me with disbelief dancing in her eyes.I rolled my eyes and relaxed further into the outdoor chairs we were sprawled on. I couldn't go into the pool because of my injury but I insisted on coming out here because I knew this was the only place we could have a civil conversation without being interrupted by Barbie."Hold on, she lives here. Lucius is quiet and you have folded your arms and done nothing?" Her eyes moved over my body in fast movements before she sto
Diane's POVThe cut on my leg was pretty much healed and I could move around in my room properly without leaning or heaving with pain, but I still called Lucius for everything especially when Jolynn was around.She had come to the house with a purpose, now I was going to destroy that purpose."Why do you have such an evil look on your face? Who are you planning to murder?" Lucas's voice sliced through my mind and I looked up at him."Is it that obvious?"He chuckled and brought the plate of fried finger food he was eating to the couch where I sat."Let me guess, it's Jolynn, right?" He asked, wiggling his brows.I let out a sigh and nodded. "I have realized she is trouble you know... And I now feel bad that I had given Lucius such a hard time."He passed his hand around my shoulder and shook me slightly. "Lucius is fine. Well, he will be when you guys talk about it and I have just the perfect plan in my head."My brows knitted together and I glared at him. His plans were always crazy.
Lucius's POVMy cock twitched in my pants as I followed the movements she made with her mouth. She was so sexy, she didn't even realize it."What? I shouldn't, so what?" I whispered, letting her eyes sweep over me in a way that send shards of emotions coursing through me.All my wolf wanted to do in that instance was to take her. Right there.But I couldn't. We still had a lot to talk about.She had sort of forgiven me for the Jolynn issue but that issue hadn't been solved yet. Jolynn was still in the house. I had to find a way to send her out."Hey?" She whispered, snapping her fingers before me. "What's wrong?"I shook my head and smiled at her. "It's nothing."Her eyes studied mine for a few seconds and then a frown settled on her beautiful face. "You are lying. What are you thinking?""I am thinking of a thousand things," I whispered as my eyes darkened with my emotions. It was always a rollercoaster with her. One moment, I was thinking about a threat. The next I wanted to fuck h
Lucius's POVThe security had been increased just like I had instructed and I worked harder, moving between my pack and the human city to make sure no loopholes were left open.As the day to the party drew closer, I couldn't help the dreadful feeling that ate at the back of my mind.With Patrick lurking in the corners, I knew this was a very risky mood.I thought of canceling it but I soon rejected that idea. It was the best way we had developed to push Jolynn out of my life. If we canceled, I would have to keep dealing with her and Patrick."Lucius?"Diane's voice broke through the thick layers of thoughts in my head.I raised my head from the table and found her leaning against my office door with a worried smile on her face.My heart immediately jolted and I was up before I even realized it."Diane, what's the matter?" I asked as I moved closer to her.I took her arm and walked her into the office. I offered her a seat and pulled another close to her so I could look at her face."W
Lucius's POVShe was staring straight into my eyes, her focus never faltering as if she was testing my control. My wolf was on the edge. He was ready to tear her excuse of a dress off her body and just take her but those thoughts had to wait as the driver's voice filled outside of the car."Welcome to the Redskin club my King," he said and Diane snickered triumphantly."Oops, it seems the King won't be having any fun time," she whispered before moving her body away from mine.Her cheeks were tinted but she looked like she was having a swell time torturing me.I clicked my tongue nevertheless and pushed the door open before the driver could come for it. Then I stretched my hand toward her."Come on," I said, smiling at her. "Everyone's waiting."She stepped out of the vehicle with all grace and poise like she was made for occasions like this. As I watched her every subtle movement, I realized yet again that the goddess didn't make any mistake at all.Diane was perfect."If you keep sta
