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
Calla’s POVI woke up feeling well-rested for the first time in what felt like ages. My body was sore from the torture I had endured at the hands of Lucian the previous day, but the peacefulness of my sleep had erased most of the pain. I took my time getting out of bed and stretched my limbs, enjoying the feeling of my muscles relaxing.I took a good look at my body, most of the wounds had healed up leaving behind dark purple scars. At least being a werewolf is that wounds healed quickly. But the wounds made to my heart and mind remained fresh.I slowly got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom, turning on the shower to let the warm water wash over my body.As I walked into the bathroom, I turned on the hot water and watched as the steam began to rise from the showerhead. I undressed and stepped into the warm, cascading water, letting it wash over me.As the water cascaded down my skin, I closed my eyes and let out a sigh of relief. It felt like all the tension and pain from the
I stormed out of the pack house, my anger boiling over. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I needed to cool off, to find some peace, somewhere away from everything. But as I walked through the quiet streets of the town, I couldn't shake off the frustration and resentment that was building up inside me.As I reached the park, I slumped down on a bench, letting out a deep sigh. It was then I felt a soft hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see Stephanie, the Beta's mate, looking at me with concern."Hey, Calla," Stephanie said softly, sitting down next to me. "I thought you were in your room then I saw you leave the house, hope you are okay?"I shook my head, still too angry to speak. Stephanie didn't push me, simply sitting quietly, waiting for me to calm down. After a few minutes, I finally spoke."I'm just so frustrated, Steph," I said, my voice trembling. "Lucian doesn't seem to understand how I feel. He seems so focused on making my life miserable, just imagine what he did."Stephani
Calla’s POVAs I played with the children in the park, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched.I turned to Stephanie, who was watching me with a small smile on her face. "Do you feel that?" I asked her.She nodded. "I do. I think we're being followed."We stood up and scanned the area, looking for any signs of who might be following us. And that's when we spotted them. Lucian and Marcus were standing a short distance away, watching us with curiosity.I could feel my heart racing as I realized that the Alpha and his Beta had been following us. I wasn't sure what their intentions were, but I knew that it couldn't be good.We walked towards them, and I could feel the tension building inside me. When we reached them, I greeted them coolly, not sure what to make of their presence."Hello, Lucian," I said, my voice a bit dry."Hello, Calla," he replied, a small smile on his face.We exchanged pleasantries, and I could feel the tension easing between us. Lucian then surprise
