BLAIRWhat Elaine said shook me to the core. And I couldn’t even hide it because immediately when I got back to our table. Lucian asked if I would like to go back to the hotel and skip dessert. I was grateful to him for that.He did ask if my sister was okay. He didn’t ask the basics of it or what was going on, just if she was fine. And I know I’ve said it before, but right now, that made me believe I was falling in love with him.My friends have said it many times. The way to my heart is through my family. And if that made me easy, then so be it.But as long as you’re good to me, you respect and care about family, and you aren’t rude to others. I’ll love you forever.It doesn’t have to necessarily be in a romantic way. There are a lot of platonic loves.But there is no mistaking, what I feel for Lucian is nothing platonic.He hailed a cab for us back to the hotel. Another positive point for him because that was thoughtful. And during the entire ride, he didn’t release my hand. When w
LUCIANBlair’s question came out of nowhere but the answer wasn’t hard to find. If anything, it was too easy.Many ways to tell her how much she is important to me and how this is the best thing that has ever happened to me, come to my head. But nothing makes it past my lips.In the end, I settled for watching her silently, hoping she could see the truth in my eyes.You’re fucking dumb. That growly voice in my head mutters.I ignore my wolf, not planning on letting him ruin this moment of peace between us. I’d seen his reflection in her eyes when I first turned to face her. And she looked stunned for a second before going back to normal.I told myself it was nothing and she saw nothing.It was getting harder and harder to control my body’s natural instinct to protect. With how possessive he is getting, now that we can clearly hear our pup’s heartbeat in her womb. He wanted to show her his true self, and he wanted her to accept this.In my head, we lived in a perfect world where she wo
BLAIRThe rest of our Japan trip was amazing.Lucian and I were getting closer. So much that this felt like a real marriage. It was surprising how that thought now makes butterflies swirl in my stomach. Instead of the panic I used to feel before.And I found out his middle name is Elijah.It wasn’t anything unexpected, but I didn’t really expect it. I started laughing after he told me, and that made him torture me with tickles. Thankfully, that ended with messy, sweaty sex. So I wasn’t really complaining.We went to Singapore from there. Funny how I have been looking forward to going there but I couldn’t remember most of it. I just lived in the moment, sometimes forgetting to get the videos the girls said they needed. And yes, needed. Apparently, it was as important as oxygen.Greece was also fun, and like Singapore. I lived in the moment.Now, after a month of travels, I couldn’t wait to go back home.Lucian had asked if I was tired and ready to go home. I wouldn’t say I was tired, b
BLAIRI don’t know what I was expecting when the plane landed and we exited the car. But maybe a sense of familiarity. Something I could remember from being here. But nothing rang a bell and everywhere looked different.“Did I lose my memory or have I never been here?” I asked Lucian, when he opened the door for me to get in.The SUV seemed familiar. In the sense that, it was his go to ride all the time. But apart from that, there was nothing familiar.Not even the men getting our things, or the driver. I waited for the ‘alpha’ comment, but they only called him Mr. Vladimir.“It is because you haven’t been here before.” He replied coolly. I turned to look at him but he only smiled and nodded. “Get in. I’ll explain.”I gave him a look but got in as he said. He closed the door and got in through the other side. I was already facing him when he got in and he laughed seeing my expectant expression.“Calm down, babe. Not kidnapping you.” I paid no attention to how my lower belly clenched w
LUCIAN I’d imagined how amazing the week I planned for us to spend in Cuba would be. Then I woke up the next morning feeling a little out of it. Still, intent on having the time of my life with the woman I want to be with for the rest of my life. I chose to push the feeling aside and had breakfast with Blair. She already made a list of all the things she wanted us to do. I was looking forward to all of them. I recalled what was at the top of the list. “Get a tattoo?” I asked, looking up at the eagerly smiling woman in front of me. “Yep.” She replied, nodding frantically. “I’ve always wanted to get one but I know my mum and dad would freak out, so I never did it. But I’m married now.” She said, giving me a big grin. “So, I can get it.” I chuckled in response to her excitement. “You’ll probably not like this then,” her smile immediately fell and I wanted to put it back. “You can’t get a tattoo.” She gave me a look, cocking her brow. She moved back, my hand that was on her waist fa
BLAIRMum picked on the second ring, then she asked if I could video call because she hasn’t seen her baby is so long,Could you believe this woman asked me to stand to move back so she would see my bump?! It was the baby she wanted to see. I felt extremely unloved at that moment and I told as her much.“Oh, don’t be a big baby.” She said, chuckling as I pointed. “I still love you.”“Just not as much as the baby.” I mumbled and she snapped her fingers and gave me two thumbs up after.“You’re so smart.” I rolled my eyes and returned to my seat, grumbling about how much work she was making me do. “The house looks big, where are you staying?”I looked around the place I slept in. This is the first time I’m seeing it. Though to be fair, Lucian was here and my attention wasn’t on any of it.Now though, I could appreciate the beauty of it. The feel of age it had and the structure and design. Everything was amazing, especially the decor. It was homey and lovely.“A house, I think.” I said be
BLAIR I met up with Lucian in the room, he was engrossed in a phone call that seemed important, a frown marring his features. “Then call an emergency meeting. What the fuck do you expect me to do right now?” He growls into the phone. I felt bad for whoever was listening. His lips were turned down a frown and he looked like he wanted to throw hands at someone. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him this angry at anyone before. The person says something that he doesn’t like because he looks even angrier now. I didn’t know that was at all possible. Not knowing what to do, I stood by the door awkwardly and waited for him to finish off his calls. More yelling, sometimes in English and a few other languages I couldn’t tell. He finally ended the call and turned to me. He huffed out a breath and gave me an apologetic look. “I’m so sorry this came up during this trip,” I was quick to shake my head, seeing how guilty he looked. “You don’t have to apologize, shit happens.” I told him with a shru
LUCIAN Blair’s plan worked. We were able to salvage the situation before it got out of hand. We moved the unveiling of one of our hotels and that took the attention off whatever was going on with Wallace. Any other time, I would have been on my way back to the city to do this shit by myself. But I didn’t want to leave Blair. How happy she seemed here, so free of stress. I couldn’t do that to her. Or me. Cause yeah, I loved being with her. And I felt this is where I could be with her as much as I wanted without all my responsibilities pressing down my neck. The stock that had gone down for the first few hours after Wallace’s arrest came up, went back up the next morning. The board of directors were happy and I didn’t have to deal with their bullshit. That gave us the chance to enjoy our trip to the fullest. It was one of the best times for us. And I noticed, the more time we spent together, the closer we got. And being close to her makes my wolf damn happy. That all changed when
