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
Calla’s POVJust after Lucian stormed out of the restaurant, Stephanie leaned over to me and whispered, "You should go apologize to Lucian."I furrowed my brows in confusion. "Apologize for what?" "I haven't done anything wrong to him."Stephanie sighed, clearly frustrated with my stubbornness. Just go talk to him. "He is obviously mad at you."I shook my head, unwilling to budge. "I don't see why I should apologize for anything."With that, I returned to my food, ignoring the rest of the group's conversation as my mind drifted off into my own thoughts.I couldn't help but think about how I still didn't have any friends in the pack, despite being back for a while now. It seemed like everyone was either against me or simply didn't want to associate with me.Even Stephanie, who had been so insistent on us going out to lunch, didn't seem genuine in her attempts to befriend me. I couldn't shake off the feeling that she had some ulterior motive for wanting to spend time with me.Lost in my
Calla’s POV“Get off me, you beast!!!” I struggled to wriggle free from his grip. I jumped off the bed immediately and stood a safe distance from him. “You must be very stupid to do this!”“Don’t make this hard.” Lucian’s voice sounded slurry.“Are you crazy or something??” I yelled. “You literally want to have sex with me, against my will!!!”Lucian only stared at me blankly. It looked like a go-ahead to keep shouting.“Is it because I did not agree to be your mate? Look Lucian, I don't care if you are the strongest and richest Alpha in this parts. Don't you ever think you can have your way with anybody you want.”At the moment, my mind and heart was so messed and derailed. I felt insulted by Lucian’s action towards me. Does he think I am just like one of his pleasure mistresses?I saw a smirk spanned across his face.“Don't be so naive and hot-headed.”I cut off sharply. “So not letting you have sex with me makes me naive? Wonderful!”“The truth is that you can't get out of this pack
