LUKAN
The car gilded slowly before it stopped in the parking lot, I glanced at my watch and realized I was fifteen minutes late.
"If they can't wait they can go home." I muttered to myself as I took the steps up to my office.
"Good morning sir." My receptionist greeted me with a low bow , I gave no reply and walked away when I saw my PA but I pretended not to see her . She came out of an office smiling sheepishly obviously engaged in a gossip.
" Good morning Alpha Lukan." She said half running after me and trying to keep up with my long strides.
"I sent you two emails and you never gave a reply, " I said, taking another bend.
"I did , but I was waiting to congratulate you." She said in a rasped breath and I stopped in my tracks.
"Congratulate me for what?" I asked lines of anger etched on my

MERIDAI still couldn't believe he could do such a thing to me even when he left , I was still feeling embarrassed.My stomach rumbled again and with the little strength I had left , I pushed the door open , my eyes meeting the spiral staircase which made my eyes water.I took a step at a time and the smell of freshly brewed coffee flew into my nose making me salivate. I told myself this morning that I could stuff myself with just enough food .As I came to the dining hall I momentarily forgot about Alpha Lukan and I wanted to grab every piece of fried chicken that was on the table.There were dessert and appetizers , coffee and toast , just anything to make one go crazy.Back home I never had any of this and I wanted to start eating right away. I was still in last night's clothes and I really wanted something to eat.

MERIDA I blinked , the sun on my face and I squinted. My leg sting from the pain which drove through meLemuel stood awkwardly beside me, he glanced at an angry Lukan and then back to me, as though unsure whether to help me up or not. "Lukan!" I gasped, my voice cracking , this was the first time I was calling him by his name.He stood there, staring down at us, his eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. There was something funny in the way he looked at Lemuel, as if the very idea of us together made him angry.I tried to scramble to my feet, but my leg throbbed, and I winced, I stayed put. “I... I tripped,” I stammered, trying to explain. “It was an accident.” Lemuel quickly nodded, his face pale. His cheeks flushed “Yeah, she fell. I was just—”“Just what ?" Lukan's voice was cold and low.He didn’t seem interested in Lemuel’s explanation, nor mine. The way he looked between the two of us, there was something else swirling in his mind—something I didn't think was possible. Jealo

LUKAN.I took a sip from the wine flute , from the corner of my eyes , I could see Merida stealing glances at Lemuel. My wolf gave a silent growl and I wonder what's with all this nonsense.

I almost laughed , it feels so absurd.I clicked against the empty wine flute with my fork drawing attention to myself. Everyone stared at me and the hushed discussion paused.Better .I cleared my throat and looked around for sometime , Merida stared at me before looking down at her food."I have some very important news to share with everyone." I announced and from the corner of my eyes I could see mother beaming . " All preparations have been made,"I said after a few seconds. "Preparations?"Lemuel asked and he exch

Too bad I won't be wearing it ever again.*"She couldn't hold the glass properly." * Zayna had said but she was lying and I couldn't say anything ,just anything to defend myself.As usual my tongue betrayed laying limp and dry in my mouth tasting like dry paper ."Yes, I should go and change."

Zayna said, looking around."Thank you." I said sheepishly."Not you . I was complimenting the room." She intoned , her voice so sweet for someone that mean.
