"How could you!" Those words echoed in the black nothingness I was standing within, my heart racing in fear and trepidation. What was happening? How did I get here? I rubbed my arms, feeling a strange chill.All of a sudden, something opened underneath me and swept me in before I could even scream. I was falling into the same black nothingness, but my voice got choked as I found a huge jaw opened wide, ready to devour me."No… Noo! I can't die here!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, flailing my arms as strongly as I could. I needed a way to escape, but it seemed like I was stuck.I covered my eyes immediately, and I found it was too late. When I opened them again, I was in a beautiful room, a room I believed was the most beautiful I had ever seen.Blinking my eyelids slowly to adjust to the light, I yawned and lazily stretched. I was glad it was a dream. I could pretty much guess who was going to eat me up.I wonder what my aunt is doing right now. She must be looking all over for m
Lucile's POVI should have known that all my love interests were not human. The only human that ever loved me cheated on me with my best friend and had the face to insult me with his lips. His face always beamed when he saw me with a cheerful laugh when talking to him. I thought I was the only one.But his love was hypocrisy.But these men stood by either side of me. Where people I have never interacted with closely enough. One was a one-night stand and also my mate who I just found out was my mate not too long ago and the other was my pen pal, Davis.His name turned out to be Vladimir, he is a vampire and what he wants with me is quite unsure."Why did you lie to me?..." I hoarsely asked trying to hide the fear I had swirling in my eyes and my heart. I gripped the hem of my dress tightly. I was too tired to think anymore."I didn't lie to you. You just didn't ask" he gruffly replied and I couldn't refute his words. I returned my gaze to the quite marbled floor. But I didn't care abo
Lucille's POV The morning sun hit my eyes and I twitched. Uncomfortable, I turned away but didn’t expect to jam my nose against a hard but smooth chest. My eyes widened. Everything dawned on me faster than ever, I spent the night with Ron. Alpha of the Black Night pack, someone who could crush me if I said something wrong. I looked at him sleeping. Who knew something this strong would be sleeping at my side, even being vulnerable, wasn’t he scared that I could conspire to kill him? I rolled my eyes, I didn’t even have the strength to leave the bed so how can I kill someone? Even asleep, he looked deadly. After observing him for a while, I made up my mind to leave. I quickly slipped away from his arms and got dressed as fast I could not even caring if I looked like a mess. Once I was done I carried my backpack, and sneaked out. No bouncers were at the door. I sighed in relief. I didn’t want another drama to wake the sleeping Alpha who was always troubled. The hallway was jus
Lucille's POV I stepped between them. "I'm not part of this conversation, and I'm not whoever you're talking about." "You're exactly who I'm talking about, sugar." Ron moved closer, eyes locked on mine with that same warning look from before. What's with that smirk? Did he think I was some kind of Joke, somehow I felt triggered. Maybe I was really a child in their eyes and deep within me I wanted to prove I was more than a child. "You've got the wrong person," I said, hands up to block his chest. "Ron. Alpha Ron," he said coldly, then stepped back. I breathed out in relief. One more minute close to me and I thought I was going to collapse. "I'll be in the next room," Daniel said and left. I wanted to grab him and beg him not to leave me with this guy, but he was already gone. I was about to run when Ron opened the door. Then I remembered what my aunt said - tomorrow I'd meet my future husband for our engagement. Some random man would take my first without love, and yet... I tur
Lucille's POV "I don't want to see him. He should return to the woman he was mingling with!" The words came out sharper than I intended, and now my head was pounding even worse. Everything went quiet after that. Had he finally given up? "Just hear me out, Lucille..." His voice came out as a squeak. Muffled behind the doors but I could still feel how forced it was. I was so angry I couldn't even think straight. I grabbed the lamp from my desk and threw it at the door. It shattered everywhere, and I heard someone jump back on the other side. "You bitch! You will pay for the cost of that lamp," my aunt screamed, banging on the door. I just fell back on my bed and covered my ears with the pillow. Everyone was just pissing me off. After a while, it got quiet. I bit my lip hard. I couldn't cry anymore about this. What was the use of crying? When he... He wasn't even trying to explain anymore. He just gave up and left, I could hear his feet pad against the floor as he left with my
Lucille POV It was that time again – the day before my birthday – when my aunt tried to hook me up with every man she came across. This time, I don't even know who the guy is and just because it was my 20th birthday, she is in a hurry to get me off her hands. Even if I don't know the guy. "Are you listening to me, dear Lucille?" she asked in her honey-toned voice. I shifted my gaze from the bird that had just landed on my window and stared at her. "Yes, aunt," I said. Even after all the years we've spent together, I still couldn't understand why she was hell-bent on selling me off to someone to marry. Did she really hate me that much? Guess I would never ask that question. "I have told you several times that in order to pay off the debt you owe this family, you need to marry the richest man available. This person I've found brought a very _very_ suitable price, I was also shocked," she clapped her hands excitedly as she rose up. My eyes followed her movement without actuall
