Lucius's POVAfter Lucas left, I kept thinking about what he had said until I gave up. I couldn't come to the bottom of that except I delved into it and as it stood, I already had too many pits to fill.To have a peaceful reign, I knew I had to solve all the problems and puzzles around me. To do this, I would have to take them one at a time and the first on my list was Diane.I needed to finally explain to her what was at stake and why I did what I had to do to keep her.I packed up the rest of the files and returned them to the drawers, taking only a few documents that I would need to review later in the day with me to my room.All important documents were always left in the office, I only took a few with me to my chambers to review and once I was done, I returned them to the office.I made my way out of the office, suddenly feeling a pang of hunger in my belly, reminding me that I had to eat anything all morning.A perfect idea then came to mind. As I walked, I pulled out my phone f
Diane's POVChanging Owen's mind proved futile. I had no choice but to prepare for the damned brunch just as Lucius wanted.My heart was twisted with hatred as I slipped on a blue dress I found in the wardrobe. I wanted to scream at Lucius and tell him how horrible he was but Owen was in the room. As much as I wanted to let out my emotions, I couldn't risk traumatizing the poor kid.I packed my hair to the top of my head and applied just a lip gloss then I stepped out of the walk-in closet to find Lucius and Owen, ready and waiting for me."Mummy, pretty!" Owen said and a natural smile covered my face."Thank you, baby, you are quite handsome too!" I said, placing a kiss on the top of his head.I expected him to come to me as he usually did but for some reason, he remained by Lucius's side."Mummy, Daddy?" He asked and I looked at him with confusion swimming in my eyes.His brows were dancing and he looked giddy as he kept grinning from ear to ear like this was Christmas Eve."He want
Diane's POVIt sounded more like a threat to me but I kept my cool for Owen's sake.At the end of the day, I got one message from the conversation, Aaron was never letting me go. If I was going to ever get my freedom, then I was going to have to try another escape. The rescue mission I planned with Sophie might not be the answer I needed at this moment.I volunteered to take Owen to his room after the long day spent at the picnic and I stayed with him till he fell asleep. I intentionally spent more time than necessary till I was sure that Aaron would have slept off while waiting for me, then I slowly slipped out of the room and I almost got an attack heart as I met with Kelvin at the door."What the hell! Kelvin, what are you still doing here?" I asked, holding my chest.He bowed and dropped his eyes to the floor. "I am sorry Luna but I am only... doing my job..."I cocked my head to the side and narrowed my eyes. "So you will keep standing here till when?""Till you no longer require
Diane's POVI spent the next couple of days searching for the documents in almost every room I could get access to in Lucius's wing but each time I came back empty-handed. There was nothing on Owen. Not even a little fever note and it made me start to wonder if the boy ever got sick at all because if he did then his hospital files would have been in his room somewhere.Maybe it was somewhere in his room and I wasn't searching properly.I got out of bed and quickly took a shower before Lucius could even leave the room, I started heading out.Ever since our little pillow discussion, he had retreated to himself and we barely talked anymore.A part of me was grateful for this for it gave me more time to focus my energy on the mission I was currently on but a small part of me wanted him to at least talk to me.As usual, I slipped out of the room and Kelvin was already out waiting for me."Good morning Luna," he beamed and started walking behind me."Good morning Kelvin.""Which wing would
Diane's POVI stared at the man in front of me not knowing what to say. I didn't even hear him enter the library until he came to give me the file."How do you know my name?" The moment it left my lips I realized how stupid I must have sounded, yet I let the question hang in the air waiting for the man standing before me to answer.He smiled and leaned against the shelf I was currently standing, looking deeply into my eyes."You are Luna... I think it's only fair that I know your name... What sort of ally will I be if I don't know my Luna's name," he said, his voice so confident that he could easily be fooling me and I would believe every word he uttered.He shook the envelope in his arms before me, snapping me out of my daze."I understand that you have been searching for something... I have been in the corridors, watching. I wanted to help but your guard has a very intimidating look," he said with a small grin.I looked at him all over once again, and I didn't think Kelvin would be
Lucius's POV"Why did you agree to her demand so easily?" Lucas asked as soon as Diane excused herself and left the dining room.I shrugged my shoulders and continued playing with the toothpick."I don't see anything wrong with that. She is my Luna. If she has finally decided to start paying more attention to the affairs of the pack, I don't see what is wrong with that..."Lucas narrowed his eyes and looked around as Diane would appear for the wall. Then he shifted a chair closer to mine and sat on the edge."You don't understand, you are blinded by love brother. Diane's change of mind is too abrupt. I am suspecting something," he said.I stopped playing with the toothpick and glared at him."What could she possibly do?" I asked, my eyes moving between irritation aid curiosity. "Her friend is gone. Jolynn is gone. We have blocked the tunnel in Owen's old room and there are about five dozen soldiers in the woods... You still think she wants to escape?""I still think she hates you and
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.
