Lucas “Get the fuck out of my way!” I yelled at the driver who was in front of my car and driving like he had all the time in the world. He might have all the time but I didn’t. I had little time to save my mate and that was pissing me off. I had been so close to calling her before getting her distressed text messages. At first, I thought it was the council but it turned out that it wasn’t them. It was her parents. Her fucking parents kidnapped her and were taking her back home to marry her off to some stranger who she doesn’t give a fuck about. Cross told me about the guy and how creepy he acted. He is obsessed with Thalia and thinks she belongs to him. Okay, he was like me in that aspect because I was obsessed with her too and I believe she belongs to me. The difference between us is that she was actually mine and she wanted me while he was just a delusion and her parents played into his delusion by agreeing to marry their daughter to him. Well, not on my fucking watch.
Thalia “Why are you so in a hurry to leave?” I questioned even though I had wasted so much time already. I ate and then told them I was craving ice cream and Mr. Lim had reluctantly agreed to my request and I got ice cream that I didn’t end up eating. It was currently abandoned in the car. I looked at it, tempted to pick it up and start licking to waste time but my stomach was already upset and any kind of food would only make me uncomfortable. I decided against eating the ice cream to save myself, instead, I focused on being a pain in their ass. They wanted me to get out of the car but I refused. They were the ones that made me sit in the car in the first place after I got back from the restroom. I managed to get away to take Lucas’s call. I told them I wanted to pee and at first, Mr. Lim had said that I would do it on the plane but later agreed only if I let the men go with me which I did. They couldn’t get in the lady's restroom so they stood outside. I was about to
Thalia “We have to leave right now! There are so many of them! You can’t fight them!” I yelled at Lucas who ran towards the men but he didn’t listen. “Take her away,” Lucas yelled at Cross who obligated. He carried me bridal style and ran as if I weighed nothing I held on to him praying that his stamina was good enough to get us away without us falling. He was breathing heavily as he ran with me in his arms. I didn’t even know what I thought would happen when I called for them to come get me but this was far from what I would have thought. We did fall asleep I feared and made it to his car. He dropped me into the front seat, slammed the door shut, and rounded the corner to the other side of the car super fast! “Are we leaving him behind?” I called out when I realized that Lucas wasn’t with us. “He will be fine!” He said and started the car. “No! We can’t leave without him!” I yelled. It was seven against one, no matter how strong he was, they would crush him. I
Thalia “Oh, they are going to be so pissed, your name is definitely leaving that register now,” My inner voice whispered. I smiled because I knew it was true. I don’t mind being taken off the family register if it means I don’t have to deal with my mom and dad anymore. Especially my mom, I am so tired of her already. I really wanted to see how angry she would get. I wonder what they will do to Mr. Lim and those other guys. They failed so badly. Serve them right. I hope my parents punish them because they deserve it for allowing themselves to be used. The rest of the ride was quiet. I didn’t know what to say to the guys so I just stayed silent until we got to Lucas’s estate. “Wait, this isn’t your house,” I pointed out. Cross looked at me and nodded. I glared at him. He was nodding too much for his own good. “Are you forgetting that it’s my week?” Lucas asked from behind. Oh wow, so we are still doing that? I thought they didn’t want me anymore. I thought he agreed to
Thalia Cross’s growl of disapproval pulled us apart. I kind of forgot he was in the room with us. Lucas smiled when we pulled apart. I looked in Cross’s direction, wanting to go kiss him too but he wasn’t looking at me. I turned to Lucas who smiled, leaned in, and pecked me on the cheeks before letting me go. “Go call your friend,” He told me. I smiled and looked in Cross's direction one last time before I made my way upstairs. One step at a time, I already made up with Lucas. Cross next but first, I will have to make him admit that what he did was wrong and that he would never do it again. Only if he agrees that he won’t do it again. Will we be on okay terms? I put thoughts of him aside when I got to my room and took out my phone. I didn’t even know my phone would survive the whole ruckus but it did. “That’s because Cross carried you.” The tiny voice in my head reminded me. U smiled at how true it was. I realized that the voice in my head had gotten a lot bolder than
Thalia “That’s not what I came to talk about, Lia. I know that’s not your fault and I don’t blame you for what happened.” He assured me. “Okay, why did you come here then? What did you want to talk to me about?” There was a moment of silence after I asked him. Was he finding it hard to say? I let him have all the time he needed and waited for him to speak up. “Lia, I am sorry about what happened yesterday at the club. I messed up and I am really sorry.” I don’t know why the fact that an apology was the first thing he said made me feel happy but it did. I had to stop myself from smiling because to be honest, I wasn’t the one he should be apologising to. Yes, he wronged me but not as much as he did to Eden. He fucked up his face for no reason. “You should be sorry Cross but towards me. It wasn’t me who you beat up last night. You should be sorry to Eden. He’s the one that got beaten.” I told him. He nodded in agreement. “Yes, I know. I wrong him.” “Good to know that
Lucas “What a day,” I whispered and took a sip from my beer. Don’t ask why I was drinking beer by this time. I needed it. Cross was currently talking to our mate in her room, I told him to and gave them space. They needed to talk and make up. He was sorry and she needed to know he was. That doesn’t make me a good man, I just thought it was necessary after what happened today. Good, I can’t remember the last time I fought with a group of men and I have never fought with humans as a group. I didn’t see them as a threat but today, those guys had been a threat not like they were a match for me. I easily took them out and watched them struggle to get up. Only one of them got to me and the fucker played dirty. I still won. Not to mention that I healed already while they will spend some days in pain. I smiled. That’s what they get for trying to kidnap my beautiful mate. They almost succeeded. Almost. Thankfully, they didn’t succeed. We found her in time and got her back t
Lucas “You both decided to finally show your face again?” I questioned them when they finally got down the stairs. They looked at me and then back at themselves before laughing in unison. I scoffed and stood up. “We need to talk,” I told Cross. He nodded and looked at our mate who smiled, leaned him, and kissed him on the lips right in front of me. It didn’t feel weird nor did I feel jealous which might sound strange but it did not to me. “I will be in my room.” Lia told me and off she went without giving me my kiss. Well, I can always get mine once I send the psycho on his way. “Let’s talk over there,” I said, pointing Cross in the direction of my home bar. “Like a drink?” I offered and pulled out a second glass but he shook his head. “No, I have to drive.” “Right, I forgot you brought us back here. I see that you guys have made up, congratulations.” I told him. He smiled. A happy smile and for a moment I was reminded of a boy from years ago, a boy I spent m
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
