Lucinda's POV. The weight of his judgment hung in the air as I wanted to see what he was going to say concerning this issue. Not a lot of people would think it was necessary to do the right thing by a maid. I had a lot of things on my mind, but one of the major things that wasted my time was the fact that there was probably no vengeance for anyone who was not considered to be among the elite. Now, he was changing the narrative, and I could not be more proud than I should be of him. ."Apologize to her." He ordered while waiting a bit to see what Amelia was going to do. She was livid, looking as if she was about to do something else and it was just me trying to find out how and why she was wasting so much time before finally apologizing to someone she had truly offended. It was almost like everyone had turned against her but she was not still going to stop. The maid bowed down immediately, looking as if she had almost lost her life. "Please do not make her apologize to me. I acc
Author's POV.The man with a scrunched beard, moved closer to the edge of the forest hoping that no one realized his movements and reported them to the necessary authorities for he would like to remain anonymous and was counting on that to perpetuate his acts.Wilson proceeded towards the agreed venue and rested against one of the trees waiting to see who was going to come through so that he could speak."I gave you a simple task but you have failed woefully. How do you expect me to be happy with you especially everything that we have planned not going accordingly? I don't know how you think this is supposed to work but I know for a fact that you have been a nuisance and it is time to get rid of you."Wilson raised his hands in surrender with a little slight tremble. "I don't think I am in the wrong here. If you had told me right from the start that this was what to be expected maybe I wouldn't even be worried about a thing but here I'm trying to find out what you would like sir."Das
Lucinda's POV If anyone had told me a few weeks ago that I would be handling such important matters in this pack I would have told them that they were lying point blank but that was my reality now because Darcus had found out about my love for numbers and decided to bring me in to assist him even though he said that it wasn't called an assistance.This went on to make me have a lot of enemies because now everyone's eyes was on me and they wanted to get me out of the way when I had done absolutely nothing to stop them from enjoying whatever they wanted from their man. My only business with them was to go out and return without looking at anyone and they still have a problem with that. I went into his office to resume my duty with my head held high, courtesy of Abigail who had told me that everyone here was trying to stake their claim on a man who didn't even give two hoots about them and that made me even more annoyed at how they were acting like love sick puppies. I knew that I wa
Lucinda's POV I kind of figured out that I had stepped on a lot of toes, but I wasn't going to be apologetic about my nature, especially when I knew that I had not done anything to deserve such treatment from them. They were the ones who decided that they wanted to be a pain in my neck and it was my duty to put them straight.I moved through the shelves I moved through the shelves looking for the misplaced files according to their numbers even though I had no one to teach me what to do, courtesy of Chris' anger. This wasn't going to be a hard one for me to deal with because I had a lot of things on my mind, but I would rather just remain on my own doing what I knew how to do best, which was ignoring the situation and focusing on how to bring the best out of it. I was lost in my thoughts until I smelled Darcus' scent. It wasn't to be mistaken with anyone else. I glanced at Chris who suddenly Rose to his feet and started to assist me without even lifting a finger for so long. What
Darcus' POV. I watched her eyes glimmer with different emotions and couldn't help myself to be drawn into them. She had wonderful eyes and sometimes I wondered why I showed so much restraint instead of jumping her like I had done with the others. My wolf had been pretty insistent about me courting her properly like I would a wife and even though I didn't understand everything that was going on I kind of figure that it would be nice to show some restraints for a change. "I could accompany you anywhere you want as long as I know what to do so that I do not embarrass you over there." She spoke, with realness, her tone telling me that she didn't have any time for shenanigans and was ready to take up the role. I had never been impressed about a woman like I was with her and as much as I would love to explore whatever feelings I was having for a stranger I decided to tame it, I could tell that Chris was not happy with how efficient she was, but that was none of his business and he need
Lucinda's POV. Nothing prepared me for the insane amount of clothes that Abigail packed for me in my travel suit. She was of the opinion that I was going to need more than enough and I wondered what kind of meeting we were going for that required a fashion parade. She smiled at me in self-satisfaction and I kind of figured out that she was doing this for herself more than me. Raising my brows in curiosity I spoke. "Should I be worried that you are more concerned about yourself than me? I should be bothered about my appearance more than you are."She scoffed at me, watching carefully as I looked at her in horror. I couldn't possibly wear all these clothes in the space of a 3-day trip but I guess this was how they wanted things to go here so I had to pretend like I loved it. Abigail rushed towards me and grabbed my hand. "I know that this is probably going to sound weird but I want you to be at your best so that everyone can see how beautiful you are. This is going to mean a lot to
Lucinda's POV. Our car passed through various landscapes and I felt like coming down and running in my wolf form just to experience the grass beneath my paws. “You seem to be in love with nature right?” Darcus asked me, but I didn't know what to respond with immediately because now I was a little bit worried about where we were going because of how hyped it had been. Chris was in the same car with us and I could feel his eyes from the front of the car watching our interaction. I didn't understand their obsession with our relationship because it was not the conventional one. “Yeah, I think that the goddess made a lot of great choices when picking out a few places to make us dominate.” I whispered, getting into my feelings. Darcus smiled at me, looking at me curiously. “Are you one of those staunch believers?” I gazed at him in shock, “aren't you?”He shrugged nonchalantly. “I don't know but we perform the rituals as we have been taught. That doesn't mean that I have any personal
Lucinda's POV. I took my suitcase into the house hoping that I was able to navigate my way without complicating things and also feeling very aware of my surroundings and also didn't disgrace him like he feared. If there was any reason for me to be mad at him then I had to swallow it up. I also had to remind myself that he was dignitary and needed to be treated that way.Color me shocked immediately as we walked into the house, we were greeted by cheerful women, who looked like cheerleaders in high school, making me a little bit weirded out. “Relax, that is just the way of welcoming everyone for the meeting. You are going to be in the midst of very important people soon and I hope that you are able to compose yourself.” Darcus whispered, smiling at me.I fixed my face immediately and I realized that it was time for us to pretend to be chummy with each other. I took a deep breath and smiled at the welcome party, then waited for them to speak but was perplexed when an Alpha chuckled
Lucinda POV. Fixated on my goals I refused to allow myself to be deterred by anything inside. I've kept on moving and trying as much as possible to figure out what I needed to do next that was not going to disturb me too much. I had so many things that I wanted to make and put in place but I needed something that would last longer. The more I kept on waiting the more I was going to begin to think of different things and at this point, that was not exactly what I wanted for myself. I wanted something more and I was going to get it no matter how hard it was to find. After waiting for some time I decided to relax and just see what I could get. At least the least thing that I was entitled to have to be getting my answers already done and by the time I was through, I would be nowhere to be found especially when it came to discussing this. The only problem I was facing right now was that these men refused to live and I began to wonder why. It's surely not because of me because they wer
Lucindas pov. I could hear the voice of my daughter screaming in my subconscious, making me driven by fear and anger to destroy this guy who took another person's child. It was not going to be an easy thing and I was already sure of that because of all the issues that I had faced so far but the only thing that was going to keep me going was the fact that I had loyal supporters at least I thought I did. It was not going to be easy but at a point I was going to get the hang of it and then I wouldn't have to make too much noise about it. “So is there something that I should be aware of? I probably have a whole thing to deal with. I'm adding this to the mix and it is not even palatable at all.” I responded sharply. It wasn't going to happen just like that and no matter how much I tried I just couldn't fulfill all of that at the same time. One thing that was evidence was the fact that I needed someone who could assist in getting answers from everybody and then we could let the rest la
Lucinda POV. I headed toward the back of the pack, with my head held high as I thought of what exactly to do next. I didn't want to make it very hard for them to deal with. Instead I maintained my cool and was waiting as much as I could to just see what was going to happen in my absence. I knew that something was wrong but just couldn't replace my finger completely and that was my mission. If I was able to get anyone to come my way then I would not waste any more time but if I can't, I will have no choice but to keep on with my head high hoping that I was able to get everything done. My phone began to ring and I looked at it. It was Martha that was calling. What part of her not calling me did she not get? I was tired as hell and I didn't want anything to complicate issues any further. The only thing that I wanted to do right now was to relax and sleep and hope that I was able to get everything done. The only thing that I wanted to do again was to make sure that I found out where
Lucinda POV. The men in question couldn't believe their eyes that they were watching me defer everything that they knew to be true. It was either one way or the other going to work and I was sure that everything was being properly kept."You have no right to demand her release! We are the ones who say what we want, and it is definitely going to work out. I'm not going to stand here and let you bully me into thinking that we are not going to be able to deal with the situation!" I was not going to listen to them either. I was listening to my instincts, which told me to fight for this girl. Not because of anything that I could gain but instead because she deserved to be released. I knew what happened whenever girls were left in the custody of many Men. Rogues like this usually turn them into baby machines and that was not going to happen to this beautiful young girl I turned swiftly, moving to the side just as my wolf had directed. I was in tandem with him at all times, and we always
Lucinda POV. I chased her hot and hard towards the end of the road knowing that I was going to find something more delicious that was going to give me more energy than I needed right now. The little girl beside me also broke into a run and I could hear her panting tirelessly. "Some children are locked in the back. She doesn't allow us to leave. Now that you have come you're going to tighten her security. Can you see that I have not been lying all along?" She panted hard as she chased her former boss.I wondered what she used these kids for besides the trafficking and using them for their abilities. Instead of running after her I decided to wait for a minute and see where she would possibly go. There was a river that was going to mask her scent and running after her was nothing but foolishness. As someone who didn't want to indulge in anything that was going to destroy my lungs or my body I wanted freedom for these people and that was exactly what I wanted to get. Focusing on Feli
Lucinda POV. We approached a little hut that the little girl had pointed at and I was a little bit worried that this was not a place that somebody should even say that they lived. Well I couldn't judge them when it wasn't as though I wanted to provide solutions for them so I just had to look deeply and hope that I was able to understand everything that was going on here She looked very scared and I understood this from the amount of animals that I had trained a long time ago. She didn't look like somebody that was lying at all but I didn't want to give her the impression that I wanted to help her so soon. I needed somebody that would be able to understand that it was not going to be easy but we could always find a way to make things work I was waiting for her to be done with everything that she was thinking of then we would have that discussion. I think she's about to come outside. Please do not allow me to stay here for long. She's going to kill me if she finds that I have not d
Lucinda POV We lunged forward as Ramon took on the elders and the other rogues came for me. My fighting prowess wasn't something I ever doubted, moved fluidly, all these small fries would be eating dirt before they could touch me. I was faster than them, way faster in fact, maybe some of them had raw strength, but all that won't matter if they could not touch me. I twisted between two wolves, slashing their chests open before they could even lift their hands, and I acted like what I just did was overwhelming and so time consuming that there was an opening. One of the wolves thought it was a real opening and my foot was up his chin before he could even take three steps. I literally blitzed through them, I was pissed and I was also enjoying myself deep down. I was free and I was putting people down as they got in my way.I spared a second to glance over at Ramon. His fighting speed was slower than normal and it got me distracted for a while and normally the rogues were supposed to at
Lucinda POVMy eyes left Kira immediately I heard the howling sounds. We glared at each other and we didn't need words to communicate again. I knew I seemed to have disowned my people and I swore I would never help them again, but whatever it is, I did on instinct. Maybe I am a good person, that fact isn't something I want to dwell on, but when I heard those screams I knew I had to do something instinctively, our little squabbles were inconsequential at the moment. She broke into a sprint before me and she half dragged me along. She knew I would follow, it was instinctive, it was that instinct that drew us together because fundamentally, we weren't all that different, we had the same sense of morals and primal character. We were in a way meant for each other, but all that didn't matter now. I pushed forward, leaping forward as my heart beat faster with each step. I needed to know what was going on, Kira breathed heavily behind me. Our strides matched as we drove through the forest
Lucinda OVI ran forward as he sprinted into the woods. I didn't think I had much on my mind when I rushed through that forest, because I didn't even think I saw where I was going. I felt leaves brush at my face and I didn't even care, all my attention was focused on him. Ramon didn't look back, he needed to be away and for most of the part I didn't think he knew I was following him, he was so much entwined with his own thoughts, and all I cared for was him. I felt my body tremble, my heart palpitating. At a point in time someone was sobbing, but I didn't think it was me, although no one was around. I felt something stuck in my throat and I whimpered, my face was twisted in a sad manner. I didn't think I have ever felt anyone's pain this much. “Ramon!” I called for him and I think for the first time, he realized I was around. He paused and he turned around. Even in this manner, he still looked rather cute, but there was a lot of things going on so I couldn't really dwell on that.
