Lucille’s POv
I was slightly frightened at the way he glared at me but then looking deeper into his gaze, he felt like a trapped beast that's been hurt too deeply.Like a soaked puppy.I unconsciously laid my palm on the side of his face. He leaned into it and he revealed his hurt expression. I felt sorry.“Vlad. It was just a one-night stand.” I defended myself but he just sighed.“Who was he?” he asked as he leaned back into his chair letting my hand hang in the air. I withdrew it bashfully.“My mate. He is a werewolf and the Alpha of the Black night pack, at first I thought he was just a rude man but he didn't prove to be so. He helped me stay safe at night and..” I rambled on until my gaze landed on him.He had a dark look like he was ready to lash out from me. Then he began driving not even looking my way.Did I say something wrong? I asked myself. Why was I having this ominous feeling right now? Is Vladimir angry with me?I suddenly laughed and that brought his attention.“I don't believe I would be mated to a werewolf. I mean there is no evidence to back up what he said about being a werewolf.” I said as I shook my head. Although I was trying to calm Vladimir down it was the truth.She could still remember the small voices that were urging her to wake up this morning. What was that?I jerked my hand away when Vladimir touched my hand. I sighed in relief knowing that I was in a safe place. Just shocked.“We have arrived,” he said as he stepped out of the car. I did the same while picking up my backpack. Standing in front of his huge mansion I was in awe.“Didn't know you were so rich” I exclaimed with a smirk dancing on my lips. He raised an eyebrow and came close to me. I took some steps back only for my back to lean on the car.“Didn't know you didn't pack all of your things. Quietly come in” he said as he stepped away from me and went into the house.I sighed in relief while patting my chest, the thing is that I had a weakness for handsome men, and heck Ron and Vlad had one thing in common and that was— being hot.“What are you still doing standing there” I heard Vlad's voice echoing from inside just to find him poking his head out from the size of the door.I ran into his mansion excitedly just for me to see loads of banners and balloons with the inscriptions of “Happy Birthday Lucille” on them in his foyer.I didn't even know when the tears began to seep out of my eyes, I had to use my hands to close them.“Happy 20th Birthday Lucille” I heard Vlads voice up close and as I opened my eyes I found him standing in front of me with a medium-sized cake in his hands.“Vladimir…” I whispered his name, I felt so emotional, I don't think anyone has ever done this for me. It was the sweetest.“No. crying in my foyer” he declared and I quickly cleaned away the tears. “Here blow the candles” he urged me as he pushed the cake towards me.I leaned in and blew out the four candles. I guess he wouldn't expect the next thing I would do to him.I fetched a small pint of icing with my finger and smudged it on his face.After that, I took the cake quickly from his hands and ran away.Turning back to check if he was running after he wasn't there again and when I wanted to check my front I tripped and almost fell on the cake.“Argh..” I squealed but my head didn't fall into the cake on top of the hand, instead, when I was on my feet again I found that it was Vladimir that saved me."How did you?...." I asked but he didn't even give me time to say anything before collecting the cake from my hand and began walking away."You owe me some gist..." He said as he dropped the cake on a counter, I entered the part of the mansion he entered looking around only to find out that he was in the kitchen."Woah..." I exclaimed. Yes, he had a very big kitchen. My eyes landed on him yet again his collarbones peeking out of his exposed chest."Come here, baby girl..." He ordered and I flinched. I wasn't yet used to that but anyways he was my pen pal I mean we could work it out that way.I reluctantly walked to him, but instead of talking he suddenly snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me to his chest.While I was in his arms, having no choice but to look into his eyes. He brought a spoonful of cake to my lips. Using his eyes he urged me to take it and I wasted no time to open my lips.But expecting the cold steel to touch my tongue I watched him lean in and kiss my lips.I tried pushing him away but instead, he held the back of my head and continued to roughly dig all the corners of my lips. After he was done he let me go leaving me breathless."There is this tension between us... I don't want to give in..." He softly uttered while staring into my eyes in a woozy way. I was confused but at the same time enthralled."There must be a mistake..." I suddenly said as I pushed him away. He chuckled rubbing his lips seductively but I shook my head."Stop doing that Vlad!" I yelled at him and he shook his finger to silence me."Just because you have had sex with some stranger doesnt mean you have to be so tense with me. Remember I found you first" he suddenly snarled and I backed away from him.Was he the same man I once knew?"What are you saying?" I asked him slightly agitated. I was annoyed because he referred to me like I was some play thing he owned and I didn't like it. I clenched my fist.“No need to be scared baby girl. All I want is for you to be happy. I kissed you because I couldn't resist your charm.” he said I felt my brows relax.“Show me to my room I want to relax” I declared and turned my book to leave the kitchen I turned around and looked at the cake on the counter.“Put that in the freezer please…” I pleaded before turning back and walking out of the kitchen. I heard soft footsteps behind me so I know he was closely following me.Just as I was about to ascend the stairs. There was a strong wind that flew past my face and I had to close my eyes when I opened them I was standing behind a broad back.The place became so cold my teeth almost chartered. The person I was hiding behind was not Vladimir of course his back felt so familiar.“Vladimir” a deep rumble escaped from the person's lips and it was then I knew who he was, how did Ron even know I was here and how did he locate me.“Ron Ron” Vladimir's seductive thick voice echoed within the foyer. He had never sounded like that before. Did they know each other.“So this was the man you had slept with last night.” I heard Vladimir’s voice again but this time I believed it was directed at me, I popped my head out to answer but I was once again shielded by Ron’s large frame.“Yes she slept with me, and I am not any type of man but her mate” Ron growled and I flinched. What the hell is going on here? I finally found a way to run away from Ron's restraints as I pushed passed his big arms and stood in their middle but not blocking their way.“Hold on, there must be a misunderstanding here” I declared as I turned to look at Ron whose face was expressionless but the glazier in his eyes was enough to make me an ice block.I turned to look at Vladimir and he was also expressionless with nonchalance dancing in his eyes with a smirk stained on his lips.“Lucille, how did you know Vladimir?” Ron finally looked towards me. And I raised an eyebrow.“Vladimir is my pen pal Davis…” I stopped for a while before turning to look at Vladimir with a threatening cold gaze. “And he lied to me. I haven't even forgiven him for that” I crossed my arms a cross my chest showing my most defiant pose.His gaze never left Ron like I was not there. I harrumphed and turned back to Ron.“Did you know he is a vampire?” Ron spoke again and I uncrossed my arms, what did he mean by a vampire? There was this sudden fear that rose in my heart and I slowly turned to take a glimpse of Vladimir.At that moment Vladimir was no longer smiling, and his blood-red eyes began glowing. Something I saw a while back and chose to ignore.My fingers were shaking and I refused to believe it.“Yes, I am. A. Vampire,” Vladimir suddenly declared word by word.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
"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
Lucille POVIt was that time again – the day before my birthday – when my aunt tries to hook me up with every man she comes across. But this time, I don't even know him, and they want to rush into marriage because it's my 20th birthday."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?"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 for you comes at a very suitable price," she clapped her hands excitedly as she rose up.My eyes followed her movement without actually paying attention to what she was saying."So that's why you want to sell my happiness?" I blurted out dryly, then widen
Lucille POV"What do you mean by 'she is with us?!'" I heard the other guy, who told me to move, shriek in surprise as he made a swerve to glare at his boss. Well, I don't know if it's his boss, but from the aura which he exuded, he seemed like a boss."I won't repeat myself," he replied in a thick voice that quickly made me bow my head back. From the direction of his voice, he would be glaring at the other guy right now. So I took the leap of faith and raised my head, only to meet with that deadly stare again."Umm... Sir, ehh, my name is Lucille. I hope I didn't do anything that may have wronged you?" I nervously asked as I tried to not bite my tongue while keeping a steady gaze on him."Ron," he suddenly said and shifted his gaze away from me, then began walking away towards the hotel. I was rooted in my spot. Well, that was rude. I asked him a question, and the only thing he would respond with was 'Ron'. Was that his name or what?"Are you coming?" I heard his voice again, and l
Lucille POVThe sun's rays hit my eyes, and I twitched. It burned, and I had to open my eyes to adjust to the sunlight. I wanted to sleep more so I turned in another direction just for my nose to hit a hard chest.My eyes widened in sudden realization, I spent the night with Ron. Alpha of the Black night pack someone far beyond my power and who could crush me if I say something wrong.I raised my head and I was immediately awed by his beauty even when he was still sound asleep he looked deadly while compared to me I looked like a duckling.I quickly pried myself away from his arms and making sure he was still sound asleep, I quickly slipped into some clothes. Carrying my backpack I sneaked out of the room shutting the door quickly.I was thinking the two bouncers would be at the door but I didn't even see them. I was grateful, I even sighed in relief."I have to call Davis!" With that, I quickly made a quick turn towards the general bathroom. When I reached there pretending to be press
