Lucinda's POV. Dinner was set but this looked like a lion's den. I could bet my ass off the people here only wanted me to probably crash or do something. My head was banging but I didn't want to even bother myself with their shenanigans. I kept looking at Alpha Darcus, who looked like he was having a great time and wasn't scared about anyone's opinion. I guess I have to develop a thick skin to deal with the guys here. They wanted me out and it wasn't as though I had communicated with anyone. "Who would have thought that you could clean up so nicely?" A lady spoke, She was one of the quiet ones but I could still see the condescending look in her eyes. They didn't think I was worth breathing the same air as they did. It was a huge misconception from these guys, and I was not in the mood to correct them in any way. They could go to hell for all I cared while I tapped my feet and rocked my world. "Maybe if there was no reason for me to play dress up I wouldn't. Have you thought ab
Lucinda's POV. I hesitated just as we set foot at the entrance of his room with a small smile on my face. I didn't know what to expect and hoped that this wouldn't become a sorry case."Oh, you think I'm going to?" He chortled. "Damn, you didn't have to sound like that." I whispered.He shot me a knowing look. "I knew you were interesting from the getgo. How hilarious to think that I would attempt to make a move on someone that's supposed to be revered. That would be blaise of me." He laughed again. I forced a smile, still hesitant because he wasn't supposed to converse with me so well."Come on in, I wanted to show you a few things that would help your stay here." He said. I refused to get in immediately. "Maybe we can just speak here, if you don't mind." I said, "It would only take one person to start up a few rumors that I wouldn't be able to deal with."Chris looked at me appreciatively but in a respectful manner. "I think your going to be a handful. We've had other woman play
Lucindas' POV. The fact that he accused me of something that was absolutely out of my usual way of life had me thinking so much My head was banging as I tried to figure out what exactly he was trying to drive at. I had no reason to be worried or bothered about whatever he thought but I was his breeder and nothing more. "I was only discussing with him about certain things, I-it was how to become a better breeder.""Chris would never discuss that with you because he knows it is out of bounds. I don't understand why both of you should be discussing when you know how important this is." "Yes, sir..." I whispered even though I had absolutely no idea of what he was talking about but just to ensure that peace reigned without me bothering about a thing I decided to play along. "You do not understand." He shook his head in disappointment. "You are not supposed to be talking to Chris or anyone here. You are supposed to mind your business and if you have any issues you'll come straight to
Lucinda's POV. I was a bit worried about what was going on here because now I had a lot of things to think of. Even though Darcus had not said a word after mentioning my friend's surname, I couldn't help but remain restless. It was odd, to say the least. I had so many things on my mind to do but one of them that remained permanent was the fact that I needed someone who could hide me whenever there was a problem. If no one could then I would perish in here.Relying on Chris wasn't the way forward either. Instead, it would only give me a lot of problems in the future as I would have to keep on explaining to my alpha that I had nothing going on with his assistant. That didn't seem like the kind of life that I wanted to live so I decided to move past that. All I wanted right now was to relax and just prop my feet on a table while waiting for his next move. That would probably be more honorable than even trying to get into a conversation with him. I heard enough on the door, but thi
Lucinda's POV. I took out my phone and decided to reach out to my friend just so that he realized that I have not just abandoned him like that but that there was a major reason for me doing that. I knew that it might not make any sense to anyone but that was my truth and I was going to follow it to the latter. Marcus picked up on the second ring, sounding cheerful in the background. "My goodness. If anyone had told me that you were going to place a call through I would have told them they were only joking but here we are, lovely to hear your voice after so long." He said sarcastically. I didn't even know how to start explaining how I felt and what was going on because I just knew deep down that he was messing with me. A soft sigh escaped my lips as I tried to figure out what next to say without sounding offensive and ungrateful. "I should have called earlier but I was swamped with trying to save my neck. These people here are the devil's spawn, I don't even understand how they
CHAPTER 1Lucinda’s POVThe room was almost silent except for the muffled sobs which escaped my lips.Memories of my mate calling me a pathetic wolf, echoed through my head, causing me to tremble. My wolf howled painfully in my head, and I clutched my chest, I felt my heart beat painfully in my chest. Trembling on the single bed, barely enough for one person, my hands pressed against my lips, trying their hardest to prevent my sobs from escaping.My mate was just outside the room of this rundown motel that he reserved just for tonight.This morning, he told me to make time for our date tonight and I was ecstatic and eagerly counted the hours till we had to meet, I never could have imagined my heart would be completely shattered before me like this.I was used to the Ill-treatment from the pack for being an omega, a very low-ranking wolf but I never expected this sort of cruelty from Alpha Killian, the Alpha of Crescent Moon pack, and my mate.Honestly, I knew he wasn't particularly
CHAPTER 2Lucinda’s POVI had cried enough, to the point I had no more tears left. I got down from the bed and got dressed up. I turned to the dirty mirror in the room and took in the dress I was wearing.It was a short black dress that hugged my curves perfectly. When I told my mother about my date with Alpha Killian this morning, she bought this dress for me, especially for this occasion. Now I realize how foolish I was. Foolish to trust someone wholeheartedly. Foolish to think an omega like me deserved love. The werewolves of today view Omegas as close to humans and I was the fool who thought Alpha Killian didn't.My phone suddenly buzzed with a text message, I brought it out from my purse and saw it was a message from Alpha Killian, ordering me to hurry up.Did he still think I would still go with him foolishly? I frowned, tossing my phone back on the bed, when it chimed again, with a text message, saying he was downstairs.Bastard!I'd rather die than be in the same space as h
CHAPTER 3Darcus’s POV“Attention, everyone.” A guy climbed the stage to announce. “We’ll be having a new entertainer joining us tonight. She’s fresh with a killer body.” It was a chaotic mix of booing and excited hollering amongst the crowd. Good for them, at least they were having fun, one way or the other. For me, it was almost another boring night with all those numerous whores dancing around me, not even one could excite my wolf.He climbed down, and a second later, a girl was pushed onto the stage. Her unfocused gaze was an indication of how intoxicated she was, the confusion masking her expression was a telltale of how lost she was.“Are you going to dance or what?!” Someone from the crowd yelled, his patience wearing thin. Her lips slightly parted as though she wanted to say a word but couldn’t. They even quivered a little.Fright and nerves wrinkled the space between her brows as she tried to walk…no, it was more like wobble off the stage but immediately scurried back as t

Lucinda's POV."Walk with me to my room. I need to show you some things." He responded which made me a bit skeptical but finally realized that the best way to handle this situation was too tough for him to deal with but the only way he could go about it was to approach me with caution. "Take a look at the ambience, what do you think?" I blinked at the unusual question. That wouldn't be what I would ask myself if I was in shoes. "Um..." I stammered. "I think it is beautiful." "You don't sound sure." "Uh... I don't know what you want me to say. I am not a decorator. I think the people who handled this did a perfect job, besides the fact that there will have been uh..." I glanced around. "I would have preferred a bookshelf in here so that you can always get your business done without having to go over to your study."I clasped my palm across my lips. "I'm sorry." I said through a muffled voice. His eyes were direct. Curiosity-holden."I think it's a great idea. I would pitch it to
Darcus' POV. I punched the training bag harder than I should and My beta whistled loudly. "Someone has pissed you off. I wonder who that person is." He mentioned. I didn't want to tell him that he was unto something because he was going to tease me sorely about it. "Your new breeder? She looks like a feisty one. Hasn't she allowed you to get some?" Chris mentioned. I growled at his disrespect to her. I hated it when anyone spoke about her name so poorly. Chris raised his hand in mock surrender, adjusting the bag that was torn at the sides. "The last time I saw you pack a mean punch like this was when she left." He mentioned casually as though that was not enough reason for me to get mad at the situation. I ignored him and climbed down from the podium, heading towards my water bottle in the distance. I picked it up and gulped it down."Whoa, something very deep is happening and I'm just finding out. What the hell happened to you sir?" Chris asked. Chris was the only person that
Lucinda's POV Standing in my room and waiting to see what exactly the problem was that made him change his countenance in just one split second. Eyes shining darkly in the darkness waiting for a sign to help me understand what the hell was going on but I didn't think that was going to be forthcoming.My eyes were beginning to swirl but I tried as much as possible to keep my gaze focused. I was losing my shit, staying holed up in a place for so long without doing anything was going to make my brain cells atrophy. Depending on a man to feed me for the rest of my life didn't sound like a good idea either. According to his demands in the files. Although not that intense but still a bit stifling, I figured out that it was going to take a lot to deal with this situation and quite frankly I didn't want to be in such a mess. I would rather just stay away from becoming a kept woman for life. He wanted to buy me over totally yet giving me no room for creative expression of freedom. Was tha
Lucinda's POV.Exquisite. Magnificent.Those were the words that came into my mind as soon as I saw the interior decor of the office. For someone with such a blackish personality I expected his office to be completely dark. In hindsight I knew I was just judging him based on the things I had heard but that was my mindset. "You like what you see?" He asked with a smirk lining his lips.I didn't know what exactly he was asking for so I decided to play dumb. Jumping into conclusions was not going to help me around the house that I had been shown a few minutes ago. "I apologize for their behavior. You need to learn how to stand up for yourself while you are here. I would not always be around to fight your battles so it is better that you take a skill." He advised. Even though I knew that he was telling the truth I wanted to call him out for enabling their bad behavior. Imagine him apologizing on their behalf. Was he turning into a softie?"I would like to hear the apology from them,
