CALLA’s POVI and Lucian continued our stroll down the riverside. I would occasionally pick up stones or leaves and throw them into the water.I on my own battled with an army of thoughts threatening to invade my sanity.I tried to connect the dots, between Axel and Lucian.Axel is a liar and a trickster, undoubtedly strong but unreliable. He lied to get to me, and when he finally had his way, he messed me up and turned me into his plaything. When my time had elapsed, he threw me out into the wild to die.Regarding Lucian, first-hand ruthlessness. He is straightforward and could do anything to get what he wants. From my little time with him, I could say that Lucian is by far more worst than Axel.I could not bear the thought of being on his bad side but at the same time, I don't want to appear weak before his eyes. I needed to leave that impression in his mind that I'm not some sort of cheap woman that would throw herself willingly to anything on trousers.Dropping every sort of thou
Calla’s POVMy whole body became rigid, I found it hard to move because Lucian stood behind me.“Nobody dares go against me. Don't ever think you're an exception.” Then someone coughed, Lucian turned to see who it was, and so did I.A handsome and tall man stood at the door, with his head slightly bowed. His looks looked appealing and godly but he was nowhere close to that of Lucian’s.“What is it, Marcus?” Lucian asked impatiently. The man did not say anything, instead, he looked at me with questioning eyes. “Continue. She means no harm.” Lucian urged him to continue.Marcus straightened up and reported. “The other packs are still pressing hard on us, they still seek their rights to the uninhabited regions in the south. This led to a heavy brawl between our men and theirs. A lot of our men got injured and some died.” Marcus’s voice became forlorn for a moment, it returned to its former state.“The new Alpha from the Blue River plans to invade our pack region. I wanted to act but
Calla’s POVChapter 10“What are you doing with her?” He moved his eyes to me, then back to Anne.“Em. I...wanted to...to know about the pack, so I sought her guidance.”Lucian still had his heavy glare directed at Anne, who on the other hand kept her head down, staring at her shoes.Lucian didn't say a word, he walked past me and headed upstairs with his Beta trailing behind. I returned my gaze to Anne who stood frozen in one place.When I placed my hand on her shoulder, she nearly jumped to the roof.“Calm down. It is okay.” I tried to make my voice sound soothing as possible. “You can go back now. Thanks for your time, Anne. I hope we meet again under better circumstances.”Anne nodded stiffly and hurried away. Then my mind went back to Lucian. I had questions spring up in my mind.”Why did he stare at Anne in that matter? What did Anne really do that made everybody treat her that way? I remembered seeing blood all over his body. Why the blood and what happened? But those question
Lucian’s POVChapter 11 After I had finished my work on the desk, I chose to go lay my back to rest. I tried to close my eyes, but they refused to comply. Sleep deserted me completely and I became restless suddenly. My wolf wanted to have control over me, so we battled internally for dominance.The strong sweet smelling scent of my mate lingered in my nostrils, threatening to drive me crazy. The feeling of desire and unrestrained libido nearly overpowered me.Nevertheless, I calmed myself down and drove those thoughts clouding my head. At the long run, I got an idea that made me grin foolishly.How about I go to Calla’s room and taunt her a bit? That would be a great idea!I stood and headed towards her room. It’s party time.When I got to her room door, I contemplated whether to knock before entering or just barge in to scare her bit.The second option sounds good.Without wasting much time, I pushed the door and walked in. Calla who was in her nightwear, a short pink revealing gow
Calla’s POVThe scary memories of my encounter with Lucian yesterday remained fresh in my head. I saw the real monster that Lucian was, I have nothing seen someone so devilish and ruthless as he was. I almost thought he would kill me but thank the moon goddess, he didn't.He even it was all a joke. What kind of expensive joke was that? To be honest, I was very weary of Lucian.The loud sounds of my stomach reminded me that I had to eat something.I left my room after freshening up and went to the room. From a distance, I saw two people. I could make out the other two but not the third figure.Looking closely, The figure looked feminine. So I concluded it was a female.But who is she?I entered the dining room and greeted everyone warmly and then sat at my usual spot. “We have been waiting for you. Good thing you are here.” Lucian beamed widely like nothing ever happened yesterday.“You should have continued without me. It wasn't necessary to wait.” I said bluntly.From the corner of
Calla’s POVI had no intention to chat any further with Stephanie. I felt she had a motive behind it, probably Lucian sent her or something.But I couldn’t justify that.To prevent further probing from her, I walked away to the entrance of the park. I faintly heard Stephanie calling my name.Lol, I wasn’t going to wait. I hailed the next taxi approaching and hopped into it. Soon, I was already at the gates of Lucian’s pack mansion.As I was about to get in, I saw Stephanie running towards me, panting heavily. It was like my eyes wanted to pop out.How the fuck did she get here so quickly? It was then I remembered she was a werewolf, she used her beast form to run all the way back.“Wait!”Well, I don't care. I walked into the mansion and to my room.“Can you just wait for a second?” Stephanie kept running after me all the way to my room.“No. I can't and stop following me.” That was all I said.“Please. Just a moment, we can still talk all that out.” Stephanie kept pestering me like a
Calla’s POVI found myself once in the place I frequented and dreaded at the same time. Lucian had brought me back to the dungeon, perhaps to torture the living hell out of me.This was his method of showing me hell, if only he knew I was used to it.He secured my hands and legs with chains, leaving me suspended in the air. He tied me up in a way that I could barely move my limbs.He ripped my top, exposing my back to him. I was left with my bra to cover my breasts. I looked like a turkey that was to be roasted over an open fire.My eyes fell on the usual bag he kept his tools, this time he placed the bag on a table behind me. With that, I could not see what tool he would use this time.Before he started, he wore gloves on his hands, making him look grim.He appeared in front of me with a short blade in one hand and a lighter in the other. He lit the lighter and hovered the blade over its flame.He did this until the blade turned red hot. I gulped subconsciously at the sight, he was g
Lucian’s POVNoon had passed, and night crept in silently with the gentle evening breeze accompanying it. I stood on the balcony attached to my room enjoying it with a divided mind. I wasn't myself, so I prayed that the breeze helped me to calm down.It helped to an extent.I dipped my hand into my pocket and took out my phone, when the screen came on, as I looked, it was already past eight, time for dinner.I breathed out and went inside to freshen up a bit before I then moved to the dining room. At the table, only Marcus and Stephanie were seated while Calla wasn't.I became uneasy and annoyed. Where could she be?Pushing the thought aside, I began to eat, alongside Marcus and his mate. While eating, it was like the food became dry, refusing to go down my throat.Calla’s absence bothered me greatly.I stopped eating due to the discomfort that groped in my throat due to indigestion. I hastily gulped down a glass of champagne.“Where is Calla?” I directed the question to no one in pa
