Lessia's POV: As much as I didn’t want to, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking that there was no much difference between living with Kian and living with Maddox.One was a prison without freedom and the other was a prison where I had the power to do anything I wanted, as long as I didn’t go out.I had been indoors since I found myself in Kian's abode and recently, I did not seem to like that anymore. I couldn't seem to overcome the feeling of being restricted like an inmate.Of course I was glad he accommodated me very kindly since the incident, and was altogether concerned about my safety and welfare, but I was in desperate hunger for the cool, unconstricted breeze and bright, beautiful skies.After the incident with the vase, Kian hadn’t met me leave his house. And even before then, he never let me go out without him, I felt caged. That’s why I finally mustered the courage to ask him for permission to go out.I had a feeling he was really jealous that I wanted to go with Nichola
Kian's POV: The movie was so erotic I almost got up to complain to the management why they would let an erotic display such as it, get played to the public. And then I got to remember that it's a Cinema, and everyone sitting around should have been more than eighteen years of age on average, or they wouldn't have let them. Usually I don't come to places like this for their overly public nature.If it were left for me, Lessia would have seen any movie of her choice in the house. But I noticed the way her eyes lit up as she mentioned wanting to go to the cinema, and I just couldn’t take that away from her.During the drive to the cinema, I saw how ecstatic and anxious she looked, it warmed my heart to see her that happy.After I was done getting the tickets, I spotted her with some guy, I immediately felt a tinge of jealousy surge through me, but I held my composure when I realized it was probably a teenager talking to her.After the movie came on, didn't take long for my body to star
Lessia's POV: I didn't know what took over me the night before. When we woke up, I found out that the door was barely shut. Kian was too in a frenzy to have considered locking it up before coming over to make love to me.I felt exposed. Most especially, when we got to the reception. A number of people were there and I immediately got this feeling that perhaps all of them might have heard the both of us moaning because we were too loud.I avoided the gazes of people, as I held unto Kian who didn’t seem to care about the people present.I saw a man staring intently at me, he looked very familiar but I couldn’t place where I knew him from. His stare was beginning to make me uncomfortable, so I held on to Kian tighter.The receptionist threw subtle glances my way. I wondered what she was thinking, but if it had anything about her expecting some sort of apology from me, even though I was feeling pretty down at that point, then she would have to be considered, not just mad, but mad in th
Maddox POV: It turned out that I couldn't stop myself from feeling guilty about what happened that night at the brothel. It weighed heavy on my conscience, that I didn't even check to see if Lisa had survived her wounds. And so, I drove there that night once again to see just how well she was doing, and in any case, apologize to her.It was an odd feeling to me, I had never felt the need to apologize to anyone, even though I was wrong. But Lisa’s innocence made me feel somewhat ashamed for my actions.I went back to the bar, hoping she had survived the damaged I had inflicted on her that night, and was back to work.There, I sat at the same table as I was sitting on that day. Also with me was a bouquet of flowers I intended giving to her. The women around it kept staring, as if to see who it was, among them that I had come for.I called one of them forward with a gesture from my fingers, and she pranced forward, a bit too jovially."Hello sir," she said, placing her elbows on the ta
Lessia's POV: Waking up to the news that Kian was about to travel, was by far the strangest, most shocking piece of information I had heard ever since hearing that some woman who looked like me went about breaking special vases at night. That took the award for the most strangest thing, until now.I didn't know which to do; beg him to stay, or beg to go with him. I didn’t want to seem desperate to him, even though I was, and just couldn’t imagine staying here all by myself, without him.It felt like if I chose to go with, I would end up being monitored by him without pause to leave his sight. If I begged him not to leave it would still be same. So I chose a different evil from the rest; just staying and trying to cope with the sure boredom that normally accompanied his absence.And to make matters worse, he wasn't the only person to be leaving; turned out Tara was to follow him too, as the cook that she was. Coupled with some other staff too.It was depressing. Especially with the f
Kian's POV The attacks were becoming alarmingly frequent and I feared for the safety of my pack. The feeling of anxiety covered my mind whenever my attention was drawn to any issue at the guard room. Subconsciously, my mind calculated the number of casualties in state by each waking morning. It kept getting worse and the reality that I could not do anything on my own to stop it made me restless.Whoever was behind this attack definitely had personal issues with me. Because the motive behind the attacks seemed to be the weakening of my pack.I had to act on this issue and quickly, of course. I thought critically, trying to produce tangible ideas that could turn out to be possible solutions. Then, it struck me. Forming an alliance with a powerful Pack Alpha would surely do. All that would require would be an understanding of some sort, where the end benefit for me, especially for my pack would be protection from the external forces of opposition packs.I started running through the nam
Kian's POVBy the time I concluded the meeting with Alpha Matthew, it was almost dusk. The sky looked almost golden, yet dim. A flock of birds formed the letter V, as they flew past the clouds to their nests. At the far East, the moon had began to peek it's bright, beautiful face from beneath the golden orange clouds. The view was serenely beautiful, almost magical. It reminded me of Lessia.Noticing the gradual changes in the atmosphere, I knew it was getting late, and I needed to get back before total night fall. I stood up after finishing my glass of wine. I smiled at Alpha Matthew and extended my hand for a handshake. He declined this gesture, looking at me rather suspiciously, without saying a word."I would like to be on my way now, sir". I said calmly.A light frown kissed his face. His eyes narrowed as he squinted, making them look quite smaller than they actually were. From his facial expressions, I could tell the message he was trying to pass to me, but I decided to feign ig
Lessia's POV In minutes, I came to start thinking of how I looked. I began craving for the mirror. A feeling of low self-esteem flooded my being. In that minute, I felt like nothing but a rag with feelings.I wished I had a better life, other than the one my parents offered me. Maybe if I was born of an influential Alpha and I was properly taken care of, I wouldn’t feel insecure about how I looked.Or maybe it was just the men in my life that made me feel that way. From my step father who made me feel like an abomination, to Maddox who was originally my mate, but rejected me because I was unfit to be even the servant of his Luna, just like he had claimed.Although, Kian was different, I couldn’t stop the feeling of insecurity gnawing inside of me. What if he went to her because he didn’t want me anymore.I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Kian's supposed ex girlfriend, ever since I got told about it by Sonia. I imagined how she would look like. I guessed how her voice might
