Lucille POV
The 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 pressed I ran into one of the cubicles.I whipped out my phone from my back, and I was shocked by the amount of missed calls I had. They were all from my aunt and Jacob. I ignored it and instead quickly called Davis.After a single ring, he picked up the call."Hey, Davis! I have something urgent to tell you" I started and closed my eyes to prepare the words I was going to tell him."You ran away from home and you didn't call for me," he said in a cold tone. I gulped, I was anxious. Was he angry? And how would he feel when I tell him that I spent a night with a werewolf?Ahhh my face flushed red just thinking about the scenes from last night but I have to keep Davis out of this."I was in a hurry and I got into a problem can you pick me up soon? I don't want to go home." I whined as I slowly left the bathroom.I almost tripped because of the sudden pain in my private parts, he was a beast but I enjoyed every bit of it.Grabbing hold of my hoodie I pulled the cap so it could hide my face very well. I didn't want to be caught by Ron's men or who would never let me leave.I quickly ran out of the hotel, turning into streets I finally got farther away from the hotel. And immediately I got a call, I thought it would be Davis so I blindly picked up the call."Da---""Lucille, where are you? Your aunt and I have been looking all over for you" he paused and I raised an eyebrow "Happy birthday" he added and I rolled my eyes, I was surprised I wasn't even in pain anymore. The love I had for him was killed last night."Oh shut the fuck up, Jacob!" I snapped at him. I wanted to hit the end button but then he squealed the nickname he gave me when were still in high school."You didn't even let me explain, let's meet up, at our usual cafe" he sighed and ended the call. I glared at the phone for a while before slipping it into my bag's pocket.I wanted to ignore his request and text Davis my location but then I had something to tell him. I had not slapped him yet.Calling a taxi I quickly relayed the name of the cafe, I was surprised at his speed but it was for the better.I whipped out my phone again and texted the address of the cafe I was going to."This better be quick" I grumbled as I leaned against the window and watched the cars speed off past our vehicle.And then some people walking by, I loved the quietness in this part of the city, and the thought of leaving it never crossed my mind but it was worth it.Soon enough the car halted and then I realized that I was parked in front of the cafe I so much loved because the man I thought loved me back used this place as our dating spot.What was he going to do hear? Beg me to come back? Give me some stupid excuse to come back to me. No matter what I was not going to budge."Ma... We have arrived... Ma can you hear me?" I heard the cab driver call out for me. I quickly turned to him and I paid him his money before getting out of the car."No matter what Lucille, you won't fall for his blatant lies" I assured myself. Breathing in to the fullest I breathed out yet again just for me to match into the restaurant. I went to our usual spot and before I even got to my favorite sit I saw Jacob laughing and giggling with Danielle..... What was this?Danielle was the first to notice me as she quickly adjusted her body to sit upright and have a neutral expression but I knew it was all a farce.She was laughing and beaming like a love-sick fool with her body leaning on Jacobs and now she is playing guilty?Haa! I laughed internally at how foolish I have been all these while to not have realized."Take a seat, Lucille" Jacob cleared his throat and urged me pointing at the seat opposite him.I wanted to shout but I looked around at the bustling people and decided not to, I calmly sat down and glared at them.I looked at Danielle but she refused to look at me, I chuckled.So fake...I picked up the menu and decided to call the waiter over and get whatever it is that I wanted. I was very hungry and I was not going to wait till they are done saying whatever it is they want to say before eating.After the waiter left, I turned right in time to catch Danielle staring at me with wide eyes."What? Don't you remember I have a wide appetite because last night I wasn't able to eat anything." I shrugged as I leaned against the chair, my stomach rumbled and smacked my lips in annoyance.Soon my food arrived and I immediately dug in not even caring about the people in front of me, judging from their plates they had already ordered before so no need to worry about them."I am glad to see you are doing well," Jacob said and I raised my gaze to meet his and nodded to his words, after I was done swallowing the steak I had on my fork, I decided to reply to him."Likewise, so... Why did you guys have to call me here?" I asked. Although I felt so uneasy that I was there with them I had to be bold and confront them like I didn't care."Lucille you don't have to be like that." Danielle suddenly declared and I just outright ignored her as I took another steak.I glared at her while biting on my steak when her mouth wanted to move again I decided to intercept her."Tell me something Danielle, what do you find in this fine man seated right beside you?" I asked as I swallowed another piece of steak.The steaks were very good but the people before me were interrupting my appetite."Umm, shouldn't you know how Jacob is? He is just too sweet and caring" A blush stained my cheeks as she mumbled.There was a sharp knife that drove into my heart it was hurting so much but there were no tears for me to cry anymore and I don't want to give them that satisfaction."Not until he sleeps with your other friends, be careful Lucille" I commented and I watched Jacob to check how he would react. His expression was cold and he looked pissed but that was what I wanted."You have still not changed. The beautiful face but a very foolish mind" he finally spoke what I wanted to hear.The reason why he cheated on me. I showed a skeptical look like I didn't understand what he meant.He chuckled for a while, making my heart skip a bit but even hurt me more."You think I would love a girl who refused to commit her body to the man she loves? You sicken me" he leaned while he whispered to me.I thought what he would say would make sense but I just leaned back and started laughing."Did you ever make a move?" I continued to laugh, "I mean you should have just told me that" I picked up another steak and bit into it and even giggled some more."My first night was amazing, he was even more handsome than you. My legs are even shaking and I feel so sore" I whined while looking at my plate and touching up my hair.My mouth pushed out in a pout. I lifted my eyes to check on his expression, the veins on his forehead had popped out and I could imagine the train horn blowing out while fumes seeped out of his nose. I smirked."You slut! You hoe! You are vile vermin! I should have known...." Something ticked off in my brain and my eyes dropped low the air in the restaurant became cold.I took the glass of water beside my plate and splashed the water on his face.I didn't give him time to react before I took my plates of steak and threw them at his face."Who is more vile than me, you cheating man whore!" I hit the desk as I abruptly stood up shouting while pointing a finger at him."What did you call me?!!" He also shut up and the next thing I noticed made me shocked and yet terrified I had to close my eyes. He raised his hand against me.Waiting for the sharp pain to spread across my jaw, I closed my eyes and flinched but nothing came I slowly opened my eyes to see a stranger standing in front of me tightly gripping Jacob's hands.I popped my head beside his arm even if he was a stranger he was my savior and I liked the way he twisted Jacob's hand, I raised my head to look at the stranger's face.There was rage in his gaze but he looked calm and cool but behind that expression was rage.Who was he? I never remembered having a friend like him, I looked at Danielle and saw the way she stared intensely at him, I struck my nose in the air at how much of a slut she was."Don't you dare touch a strand of hair on my woman?" The stranger threatened. His voice was identical to Ron but he was slightly deeper and yet felt chilling. I liked it.Jacob was too hurt to even speak a thing. He pleaded with his eyes to be released, and I didn't even show any form of pity at all.Instead, I grabbed the stranger's sleeves and he released Jacob."Come on Berry, let's get going" he turned to me and said. I almost melted under his soft gaze. He was freaking handsome.The gaze he used to look at me and the one he used to glare at Jacob was vastly different.And did he just call me Berry?!! Was he my pen pal Davis?!!!"Davis?" I asked him to be sure."No longer Davis baby girl. Call me Vladimir from now on" he corrected as he lifted my hand and kissed the back of my hand his kiss electrocuting me. What was this feeling?Everything was silent and I couldn't even hear any of the things that Jacob was saying, my eyes were only on him as he led me away.When I finally reached his car I snapped out of it."Davis! I mean Vladimir? How come it's you? Your profile picture is not you?" I asked him and he threw his head back bursting into a boisterous laughter."Lucille why do you think I would use my real identity with my face like this" he gave me a cool gaze as he smirked. He looked like a devilishly handsome being. I was entranced that I didn't even know that my lips were ajar."Close up honey" he reminded me as he leaned. I straightened up and averted my gaze from his."I mean you would have just told only me" I grumbled. I was pissed off, at the nerve of him to surprise me like this."It was a surprise""Then how did you know? I was the one?""You sent me a voice note and a picture, baby girl I don't forget the woman I am interested in" I raised an eyebrow. Interested in?"I don't understand" I declared and turned to him to look at his expression only for him to surprise me by placing his lips on mine.I was shocked I didn't know how to react so I didn't respond to his intense kisses. He suddenly stopped and stared at me.I blinked my eyes twice because I saw something like a swirl of red in his pupils but after blinking my eyes I couldn't see them again."You had sex? You gave someone your first?" he implored and I widened my eyes in surprise."How did..." I gasped as his hand passed my eyes and hit the seat."Answer me, Lucille Walker!" He bellowed.Lucille’s POvI 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 do
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
