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
BLAIRI looked over my shoulder when I heard Lucian come out of the bathroom.“Well, that was fast,” I stood when I saw how he was looking around the room frantically. His eyes were slightly wide and he looked panicked. Like he’d just seen a ghost.Confused, I looked behind him at the door of the bathroom he just walked out of. Not sure what I was looking for.“Is everything okay?” I asked, getting up from the bed.Lucian is now by the bedside table he’d kept his phone at. His fingers were moving with a speed that almost made my eyes turn, across the screen.I placed a hand on his shoulder and he shivered. I became even more confused as to why he was acting like this.“Lucian, why are you acting like this? You’re scaring me.” My voice shook as I said that.I couldn’t understand the sudden feeling of fear I felt. I was trying to see his face, searching for something. It wasn’t normal for someone to just act this way.He looked fine a minute ago when I walked out of the bathroom and lef
BLAIRI turned so fast I almost tripped. I flail my arms, trying to catch onto something. Again, I didn’t reach the floor as Lucian was already by my side, his arms around me and tugging me against him.“When did you become so clumsy?” He asks, his voice soft.I went even more stiff if that is possible. It was surprising my heart was still beating. And then everything stopped. Including my breathing and heartbeat. It seems, it is all just in my head.“Blair, I…” Lucian lets go of me and moves to the side, putting a bit of distance between us.I finally felt like I could breathe again. And I took advantage of that by inhaling a very much needed breath.Lucian moves further back. I couldn’t tell the expression on his face but he looked hurt. How does that even make sense?If anyone was supposed to feel anything. It is me! I was the one who was lied to, lured into this marriage.“You look scared.” He comments.I wanted to say, no shit Sherlock. But I couldn’t bring myself to move my mout
LUCIANI can count the number of times I have felt real fear. Real unadulterated fear like I was feeling now.And this morning was one of those. When I had first woken up and found it a little hard to take control from my wolf. I didn’t think much of it. And I managed to switch. I didn’t want to bother myself with it anymore than I had to so I didn’t let myself think of it too much.But then after I noticed the class marks, I knew something must have happened. I didn’t know what or how it happened. I just knew it was going to be bad.The walk from the bathroom to my phone so I could call Owen, and have him do what? I didn’t know. I just knew it would be best if I wasn’t alone with Blair and my wolf when I couldn’t control him.He’d taken back control and locked me out from my mind. The fucking asshole.I was murderous. And if there was a way for me to kill him without bringing any harm to myself, I would have done it at that moment.He scared the hell out of Blair. And I could still s
BLAIRWerewolf. Werwolf. Werewolf.I kept repeating that word in my head over and over again. Was it to make sure I was doing it the right way? To confirm if it was what I heard? Or was I hoping it would change along the way and I’ll realize I misheard Lucian?I didn’t know which of these options to pick. Because it wasn’t even either of them.I had been sitting here for about an hour and the world didn’t change. Nothing major happened. And I didn’t wake up to find that it was all a dream. A crazy dream.There was nothing I hadn't thought of yet. And I have been eyeing my phone that was on the nightstand, for minutes. Probably for as long as I was sitting here. Contemplating and being indecisive as I thought of who to call. Who to tell what I just found out.No one would understand what I’m saying or going through. They will probably think I’m crazy for even saying that. Because it didn’t make any sense. Werewolves don’t exist.They are fictional right? Something you see in supernatur
LUCIANWhile Blair was eating, I remained in the living room of the resort I’d picked out for us. I thought we would spend more time here, together. Just the two of us, enjoying each other’s company. But now she wasn’t talking to me. She didn’t even want to see me. The sight of me disgusts her.I’ve felt how her entire aura changes when I walk in the room. The sweet musky of her arousal when she usually sees me, has turned into something dark and bitter. Disgust. That was the only emotion she felt now.I hated that I was even able to perceive it in the first place.How could everything change in the matter of hours?This past month has been the best month of my life. Now all I could think about was her face after I’d told her the truth.I was never under the illusion she was going to easily accept everything. But I at least thought she would give me a chance to explain everything to her and let her see we could make this work. I thought she liked me even a little. Just enough for her
LUCIAN“What do you mean?” I ask, stressing each syllable.“Yeah. I don’t know exactly what that is supposed to mean. But the beta of Lakeview pack said his alpha had mentioned seeing three claw marks on his back. And a few hours later, he started acting crazy.”Stars danced in my vision. What I’d seen earlier replaying over and over in my head.“Lucian, you there?” I think I replied to his question but I’m not sure.I’m still trying to recall what happened most of the day. But I couldn’t for the life of me. All I can think about is my wolf taking over me. He is the main reason everything is going to shit now.Does that have a hand in this happening?“Lucian, are you okay? Do you need me to call anyone?” Owen’s voice was starting to get louder. He is panicking.I know all the signs. I closed my eyes and inhaled slowly. Then I let the breath out in a puffy exhale. I did that again a few times, trying to focus on one thing, and making sure it wasn’t my wolf.“Lucian.” I groaned in annoy
