Calla's POVI was now in the safety of my room, but I could brushed off the feeling of uneasiness flowing in my veins. Right from the time back in the park where he picked the call that came to his phone, his either demeanor changed drastically no matter how he tried to hide.I had theories on what could be the possibilities for his change in mood. I knew his anger wasn't targeted at me but someone else. Someone must have done something wrong to him or something else. My brain couldn't just grasp unto it, so I decided to take things into my hands and find out what was happening.I inquired from one of the maids whether Lucian still held the meeting with the men that I saw earlier. She said they were still having a meeting.So my plans now set into motion, after some minutes of thinking and confirmation, I dressed up and moved out.It was already past 10 pm in the night, so the hallways were empty, save for one or two maids or guards moving around. When I sense someone was coming, I w
Calla's POVThere came his chilly chuckle."You don't want to know."My curiosity increased by another ten folds that I even started tugging at his shirt.Lucian gave him his coldest smile. "This person is an old friend and someone close to you.""Oh Lucian, please. Why the suspense?" I could not bear it any longer."That was for the spicy buildup." Lucian laughed.I frowned at him in a way to warn him but he laughed even more. I listened to his laugh carefully, I wonder why I did something that weird, it did not sound happy as I thought it should but it sounded more like pained, broken and looming anger deep down.He was trying pass a message I did not understand."Who is it then?""Axel." It was like cold water was poured on my head. My toes curled up and goose bumps ran all over my skin."Axel?" I had a hard time getting a hold of myself."Yes. I'm not saying this to scare you but he is also coming for you.""Why??""I don't know but I have to send a message back. I will have to ki
Lucian's POVAs the battle ended, I stood with my Beta and some of my trusted men, analysing the situation. The enemy wolves had been taken care of, but we had lost some of our own in the process. It was a hard-earned victory, but a victory nonetheless. We needed to ensure that we were prepared for any retaliation from the enemy.I turned to my Beta, "Give me a rundown of the battle."He stepped forward, "Sir, we came in from the south and took them by surprise. Our warriors flanked them from both sides, and we were able to push them back. It was a fierce battle, but we managed to overpower them."I nodded, "Casualties?""Eight dead and twenty-three wounded, sir," he replied.I sighed, "We'll take care of our own. Make sure they get the proper treatment."As we were discussing the next steps, one of my men came up to me and whispered something in my ear. I felt a chill run down my spine as I listened to him. I couldn't believe what I was hearing."Are you sure about this?" I asked him
Calla's POVI woke up with a start, my breathing heavy like I had just experienced a nightmare. I looked around the room, taking in my surroundings. It was a spacious room with stone walls and wooden furniture, giving off a fortress-like vibe. The bed was comfortable and there were blankets draped over me, keeping me warm.As I stood up, I noticed that the room was bordered by an open hallway, and as I stepped outside, it was foggy and I could not see 2 metres in front. A chilly wind hit my face and body. I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself, wishing I had brought a coat.'this place is terribly cold, where the f*ck am I? Is this a dream? What time is it?'Just as I turned to go back inside, I bumped into Lucian who had been standing behind me silently. I looked up at him, feeling my heart skip a beat. He looked at me with concern in his eyes, and I realized that he had been watching over me all this time."Are you okay?" he asked, his voice low and steady.I nodded, feeling a
Calla's POVStill on my bed, covered in blankets, I heard a knock on the door. I answered and rose to see Lucian already standing at the doorway. He smiled at me and came inside, then settled on one edge of my bed "How did your tour go?" He asked."It was wonderful," I replied. "I saw so many beautiful things. The paintings and sculptures were amazing, and the library was fascinating.""I'm glad you enjoyed yourself," he said as he asked unexpectedly. "What did you think of the weapons room?"I was surprised he knew I went to the weapons room.My face flushed with embarrassment as I remembered my little accident. "It was interesting," I said hesitantly. "I may have accidentally cut myself on one of the swords."Lucian chuckled. "I hope it wasn't too bad," he said as he took my hand and examined the cut."It's just a small scratch," I reassured him. "It's already starting to heal."Lucian nodded and then asked, "Did you see anything else that caught your attention?"I smiled, thinking
Calla's POVI stepped out of my room, feeling elegant and confident in the beautiful dress that was waiting for me. As I walked down the hallway, a guard appeared and escorted me to the dinner room.As I entered the room, my eyes immediately sought out Lucian, who was already seated at the table. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him, and I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my chest.He stood up as soon as he saw me, and my eyes were drawn to the way his shirt stretched tightly across his broad shoulders. He took a step towards me and pulled out a chair, gesturing for me to sit. I blushed at his chivalrous gesture and sat down, my heart pounding in my chest.The table was set elegantly, with crystal glasses and silverware glinting in the light of the candles. I couldn't help but marvel at the luxury of it all, and the realization that I was dining with Lucian filled me with both excitement and nerves.The dining room was indeed luxurious and lush, a true sight to behold. The walls
Lucian's POVI stepped into the meeting room and felt like I had been transported to the medieval times. The room was decorated with wooden panels, tapestries, and metal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling. The walls had displays that showcased the history of our pack, including old maps of the territory, portraits of past alphas, and shields with the pack's emblem.I walked towards the table in the center of the room, which was made of dark wood and had intricate carvings that told stories of battles and victories. The chairs around the table were also made of wood and had cushions for comfort. The room had large windows that allowed natural light to filter in, giving the room a warm and welcoming feel.As I sat at the head of the table, I couldn't help but admire the displays on the walls. They reminded me of the pack's history and how we had come so far. The old maps showed how much the territory had expanded, and the portraits of past alphas reminded me of the sacrifices the
Calla's POVAs I rose from my slumber, I was greeted by the soft glow of the morning light. The sun was slowly rising over the icy landscape, casting a warm glow over the snow-covered mountains in the distance. I walked to the window and looked out at the breathtaking view before me.The landscape was covered in a blanket of white, with sparkling icicles hanging from the trees and frozen rivers winding through the valley below. The sky was a stunning mix of oranges and pinks, the colors blending together in a beautiful and peaceful harmony. The air was crisp and cold, the frosty breath escaping my lips like a dragon's smoke.I watched as the sun continued to rise, its light slowly melting the ice and snow from the trees and rocks. The landscape came to life as the sun's rays touched it, creating a stunning display of glittering diamonds.I was in awe of the beauty before me, the serenity of the scene filling me with a sense of calm and tranquility. It was as if the world had paused fo
