Cross “Have you decided to calm down?” Lucas asked when he got into his car. I could easily call for a cab or someone from my pack to come pick me up but I chose to ride with him even though he was so fucking annoying. “I have been calm” I grimaced. He ignored me and started the car. I waited long enough for him to be out of the club before I spoke again. “You were the one who agreed to let her walk away. You were the one who asked me to stop talking to her when I tried to stop her. Now what do you think would happen? What’s your fucking plan?” I fired the questions at Lucas. I couldn’t understand his sudden change of character, it was so unlike him to be so calm. Heck, he wasn't even calm before we got to the club. I shouldn’t have listened to him when he told me to let Thalia leave just like that. Yes, I made a mistake. I admit that I shouldn’t have lashed out at the guy like that. I didn’t think my actions through and I regret it now. If I could turn back time and just
Thalia “Lia! Help me!” I jolted awake and looked around, trying to figure out if I had been dreaming or if someone really called my name and asked for help. I looked around trying to figure out where I was. The room was familiar but at the same time, it felt like I shouldn’t be here in the first place. “LIA!” Emily’s voice yelling my name got me out of bed so fast that I stumbled and almost fell but I managed to steady myself and made my way out of the room I was in. I finally figured out where I was and why the room was familiar when I walked out of the room. Everything that happened last night came rushing back to me and a sinking feeling took over me. I suddenly felt nauseous but I held back and managed to find my way to Emily’s room and pushed the door open.Last night turned out to be what I didn’t want it to be. I didn’t think they would find me but they did and things went out of control after that. “Lily?” I called and heard her groan from her bathroom. I didn’t nee
Thalia “Lia? Did you know who fought?” Emily asked again bringing me out of my thoughts. I sighed. “Yeah, it wasn’t a fight. Some guy got beaten.” I felt bad for Eden. I wish there was a way to contact him so that I could check on him. I felt so horrible. I should have at least tried to speak to George and gotten his contact. I didn’t and that’s one of my biggest regrets. I don’t even know if I will ever see him again. “Who got beaten? Wait, does the fight involve you?” She asked with interest. I sighed again. I really didn’t want to talk about what happened but I know Emily, she won’t stop asking until she knows the full details of what happened last night. “Cross walked in on me talking to some guy and got so fucking jealous, he beat him up without even asking what we were talking about. Just saying what happened last night out loud again made me more furious with him. Everything could have been avoided if he had just stopped to ask questions. The fact that I wasn’
Thalia “Oh my God.” I whispered. The more I read the worse it became. How did they find out? Who the fuck gave the school press team something like this? It was so fucking accurate and I know they are talking about me even though they didn’t mention my name.Who else was seeing the professors? Who else was in Lucas’s office? He called me into his office in the presence of my coursemates. They all saw me leave the class that day.They will definitely know it is me. Even Mily knew without seeing my name. They were talking about me and Lucas. Whoever gave the information to the press team of the school knows. They must have seen me leave Lucas’s office that day. I fell back on the bed and my mind went over that day. I saw a lot of people while I walked back to the car that day but no one paid attention to me. Who could it be? For them to talk about an affair, doesn’t that mean they saw the way I looked that day? “Are you okay?” Emily asked. Okay? I wasn’t okay. It won’t take l
Thalia “Does that mean?” Does that mean they are really done with me? Not even Cross texted me even though he had been against Lucas's decision. Does that mean Lucas was able to talk him into agreeing? “Stop fucking thinking about them! They got you into this,” I reminded myself and bit down hard on my lower lips. That didn’t stop me from thinking about them. I wish they called. They didn’t even bother to check if I got home safely after talking about me being in danger all week. “I guess that was really made up,” I whispered to myself. If it wasn’t made up then does that mean they let me leave knowing that I would be in danger? Do they not care about me? I shook off thoughts of them and went on to search for videos of club fighting. I used different keywords to search for what happened last night but nothing came up. “Maybe no one posted. Maybe no one took a video worth posting,” I whispered, feeling a little relieved but then I remembered the school blog and onc
Thalia “It’s not up for discussion, Thalia! You can’t opt-out. You haven’t come home in a while. This is the right time to come home,” Right. I can already picture what would happen if I went back home. No way. I don’t want it. My life wasn’t great right now but I know it will be worse if I even think about going home. Especially with the marriage thing! Wait! That’s it! That’s why my mom suddenly asked if I wanted the jet. She wants me to come home so that they can talk me into accepting the marriage. “I didn’t even say I wanted to discuss it with you. I told you already! I don’t want to go home. I like how I am right now. I don’t want to ruin my mood by going over to the house.” My mom hissed. Well, if she can’t take how I talk then she shouldn’t be calling me, especially not at a time like this when I already feel worked up and still pretty much hangover. It was a bad time. My mom and bad timing go really well together when it comes to me. “If you are trying to sweeten me up
Thalia “Okay? Then what are you going to do?” I questioned her. “Don’t worry, you will find out soon. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. I tried to play nice but you clearly do not like being treated as an adult!” Here we go again. I wish she really did play nice. Wish because it never happened before and it will never happen again. “Yeah, yeah, mom. I am so scared.” I mocked. “You will regret this.” She hung up immediately after saying that. I scoffed and threw my phone to the end of the bed and lay down. Funny enough, the call from my mom made me forget my issue for a while and now, I don’t feel so anxious anymore so I can say she did something for me. My stomach rumbled, reminding me that I hadn’t eaten anything today and it was already afternoon. I got out of bed and picked out an outfit from the remaining clothes I hadn’t taken with me to Cross’s house. Thank God, at least I have something to wear and I don’t have to ask Emily for her clothes. I quickly took
Thalia “What? Who the fuck are you?” I let out even though I knew who they were. My mom’s people. I can’t believe she really sent them. They must have been around before she called. Must be some last-minute fake chance. Yes, I call it fake last chance because she damn well already had her people on the way when she called me. That evil witch. I should have known. I tried to shut my door again but it didn’t move. I glared at the idiot whose leg was holding the door. “The fuck is wrong with you?” I yelled at them. Big men like them should be using their power for the good of the society but they choose to use their strength for rich and wicked people. Such a waste. “We are here to take you home as instructed by your parents,” I scoffed. “And why do you think I would let you take me just because you said that? I don’t even know who you are. You could be anyone and bad! I won’t leave with you guys as I don’t know any of you!” I pointed out. They gave way and I though
Thalia “Were you waiting for me?” Lucas asked when he dropped me down. I glared at him for the question because what did he expect? “Sorry baby, I didn’t mean to keep you waiting. Let’s go inside.” He said, offering me his hand which I took even though I still glared at him for what he said before. “What did you expect me to do? Of course, I waited up! I have been waiting for you to come back all day.” I lamented. He stopped walking and looked at me. I made a face to show him how upset I had been. He ruffled my hair and I pouted in reaction. “Sorry baby. I had to take care of something at the company and couldn’t access my phone for hours. Since I was already on my way home, I didn’t think of calling. Next time I will call ahead.” He said apologetically. “You better! I was so close to calling my lover and having him steal me away,” I lied. “Lover? Who? That bastard?” I didn’t even think of Cross when I said lover. I just spoke without thinking but I nodded at
Thalia “When is he coming back?” I let out impatiently. I have had the urge to call him all afternoon but I resisted as much as I could because I didn’t want to come across to him as some kind of needy and desperate for attention kind of girl and I got through the first few hours after four o clock with the same mindset but now, it was way past nine pm and he still wasn’t back. Now, I don’t think I can hold on anymore without calling him to find out where he was and when he would be back. I had lunch on my own. I even made dinner hoping to share it with him but I ended up eating first because I wasn’t a fan of eating late. “Did he ditch me?” I let out. I know that’s not possible but it still didn’t stop me from thinking he did. He should have been back already. “You can just call him to find out where he was.” My inner voice advised. Yeah, I could call him but he could have called me to tell me that he won’t be home early or at least a text. Nothing from him since mo
Thalia “I trust you but if you need me, you know you can always talk to me, right?” I nodded and smiled. “I know. Thank you. I love you.” “You are declaring your love for me a lot more lately.” She observed. “Right. I should say it more.” “I love you too, Lia.” We talked some more and even planned our outfits for the trip. At some point, we added Elena who had been busy earlier to the call and we talked about other things. The call went on for about another hour before I hugged up and suddenly, I felt alone in the big house. I wandered downstairs to the kitchen and made a quick lunch for myself which I ate in the kitchen. I washed the dishes I used and returned to my room. I tried to study but I couldn’t focus. I kept thinking about last night and wishing for Lucas to come back already so that we could have a repeat. We might not be able to do anything in the next two days because of the trip. No way I would let myself near him with other students around to see us. I
Thalia “I don’t give a fuck about my family. And as for the guys, I just met them so I can’t love them more than I love you. I mean, I don’t think I love them. I do care for them but love? That’s too early. Don’t you think so?” I wasn’t even sure what I felt for them. It could be lust. Yeah, definitely lust. Look how happy I was after an erotic night with Lucas. Also, I was so offended and angry when Cross refused to touch me and then got mad at Lucas too for the same reason. Lust was definitely front, center, and back of our relationship right now. “It’s never too early. Love at first sight exists for a reason.” Love at first sight only happens in movies and books. Not in real life. Who would fall in love with a stranger on the first day? Definitely not me. “But you can sleep with a stranger on the first day? Make that first hour.” The voice in my head judged and I gracefully ignored her. “I don’t know, Em, I don’t think I am in love with them. At least not yet. How can I
Thalia “You know that you have been smiling like a fool for the past thirty minutes that we have been on this video call, right?” Emily called me out. I didn’t even try to deny it. I just smiled even more. I mean, I can’t stop myself from smiling when I feel so happy. This is the happiest I have been in a while and I had one hot man. No wolf, to thank for my current happiness. I smiled even more and could feel my cheeks heating up when I remembered last night and everything we did. Most importantly, this morning. I smiled at the memory of waking up to Lucas’s kisses and the slow, sweet, and tentative lovemaking that followed. The way he carried me to his restroom after and bathed both of us. The kisses he gave me before he left the house this morning. I don’t remember Monday being so lovely. I didn’t have any classes today so caught up on sleep and woke up to Emily’s call. We have been on video call for more than thirty minutes but I have barely said anything and couldn’t even
Lucas “Beautiful,” My wolf said with so much warmth and feelings. It was the first time I had ever heard his voice sound so soulful after over two decades with him. I couldn’t disagree. Thalia was indeed a beauty to behold and the amazing fact was that she belonged to me and with me. She was so good and her body was made perfect to fit mine. We moved together in such perfect sync that every other sexual encounter I have had in all the years I have been active faded out of my mind. I couldn’t remember any memorable moment with anyone but her. Her. Her soft moans, whimpers, and cries of pleasure. The little sounds she makes when the pleasure inside becomes too much to bear. They were music to my ears and I could still remember how they made me feel. Now she was sleeping after multiple rounds of lovemaking. I couldn’t help curving my lips in a satisfied smile. I could really watch her sleep all day, every day for the rest of our lives. Her little soft snorts added an extra
Thalia “Yess,” Lucas grunted out as he emptied himself completely inside me and stilled. His hands remained on my ass. Both our breathing labored. He turned with me in his arms and laid us back on the bed. It took a while for our breathing to return to normal and he brushed his lips over mine a few times. “You are beautiful.” I smiled at his choice of words. It was the same words he had told me that day many nights ago when he took me for the first time. “Too beautiful. All mine.” He whispered and kissed me on the lips. I welcomed the warmth of his mouth and kissed him back. The kiss went on and on until I had to tap him. “I need to breathe.” I told him breathlessly. He smiled and kissed the top of my nose before falling back on the bed and growling in satisfaction. I sucked in a much-needed breath and closed my eyes, feeling satisfied and contented. My body hummed in the aftermath of his lovemaking and I couldn’t help the smile that found its way to my face. I l
Thalia “Whoa,” I gasped when I finally fell back to earth enough to be aware of my surroundings again. "Seems like you needed that," He grinned as he hurriedly took off his clothes while I watched hungrily. My body was still humming from my orgasm and I was already wanton for him again. I licked my lips in anticipation when his cock sprang free as he tossed his remaining clothes away. He got on the bed, sliding up alongside me. “Are you ready for me, princess ?” I could only nod as he lowered his mouth over mine. He kissed me hotly, and I could taste myself on him. Somehow it made me even hotter, causing me to whimper, breathlessly, into his mouth. "My turn." I expected him to spread my legs. To just push between them and sink himself deep, all the way to the hilt, burying himself in my sopping wet pussy. Instead, I found Lucas rolling sideways, onto his back. He lifted me by the waist with two strong hands, pulling me onto him, and I helped him by throwing a
Thalia “No don’t, I will do it myself.” He let out, stopping me from taking off my clothes by myself after he put me down in his bedroom. I obeyed immediately, my hands falling to my sides. I only tried to take off my clothes myself because I wanted to speed up the process. Who was I kidding, of course, he would want to take control completely. I just have to be patient. The saying goes, good things happen to those who are patient, right? I don’t know if I said it right though. “Why?” I asked when he kept staring at me without doing anything. He smiled. “Nothing, I just like watching you have your conflicted thoughts.” I cocked my head to the side and folded my hands behind my back, the movement making my boobs push forward. The action wasn’t lost to him. His sharp intake of breath told me that he was affected by that small gesture even though it had been unintentional. “Are you going to do that all night?” I let out when he continued watching me. He smiled and pulled me
