LUCIANI spend the half hour drive trying to control my body’s reaction to Blair being so close to me. Her scent surrounded me almost like I was in a cocoon of her warmth.The fact that the last time we were sitting in the back of a car like this, we’d been tearing each other’s clothes off.Suddenly, I was wishing Owen was still here.Back on the plane, I couldn’t wait to get away from him. I’m seeing how his being closed had simmered my reaction to Blair. Mostly because I was upset he was making her laugh. Even envious.But we couldn’t have driven together even if we wanted to.If my brother, Enzo, had been here, then that would have been a possibility.While there haven't been many attacks on alphas and packs like a few years ago. We still chose the safe route and went separate ways. Knowing that it was a possibility for one of us to not make it home.And it would be a whole new problem to have the alpha and beta both gone.Even that thought doesn’t make my temperature go down.I ha
LUCIAN“I hope with everything in me that you ‘forgot’ to tell me she was pregnant. And by forget I mean, your memories got wiped and you didn’t remember how to use your fucking words!”Jaya yells, following me into my office. The first place I went to.After her very stellar announcement of something I thought to keep under wraps. I needed a break.Blair had looked confused but she nodded nevertheless.Jaya made more discoveries in those short seconds as she held my new bride’s hand. And I watched as each and every one unfolded before my very eyes.She didn’t look very happy about any of it.But she made a great show of pretending as she welcomed Blair to the family and finally let her out of the car.She called one of the omegas that work in the packhorse and told them to escort Blair to her room. Since they knew she was coming, they had it ready.Then she followed me and now, she is yelling the house down.It is just my luck to have two women yell at me now. The consequences of my
BLAIRLucian’s sister was a ball of energy, which I guess is what I need if I’m going to survive this place.The town, I guess a small town, where they live is beautiful. It doesn’t look real was my first thought.It was extremely beautiful. It looked like all those places you saw in books and wished you could live there.The aesthetics were out of this world. Sasha would kill to have the pictures. I doubt whatever words I use to describe the place will do it any justice.That asshole Lucian still has my phone. I realized after I followed the man who they said will show me to my room.I hated him a lit
BLAIROn my second day as Lucian’s wife, and being in his hometown. I have made two observations.They really respected him. Either that, or they were hella scared of him. I hate that I knew it was the former, even though I so badly wanted it to be the latter.They were friendly to me, but the moment it was confirmed I was his wife, they acted like they wanted to swallow me whole. In a good way.Jaya, who has been by my side since we arrived, told me he said he wanted to keep the baby private for the next few weeks. Or till after the first trimester. I didn’t have a problem with that.They were already treating me like I was a precious egg. It would be ten million ti
LUCIAN“Why the hell is Enzo not back yet?” I growled the question out, glaring at the door I expected him to walk through a minute ago but he was still gone.How hard is it get a fucking water from the kitchen?!”It was my damn fault for starting this before making sure we were fully equipped.Owen grumbles something from the bench, not bothering to look up at me.I want to throw him off just to make him uncomfortable. I push the petty side of me aside and instead follow my brother out.I found him standing in the hallway, looking unbothered and smiling as he spoke to someone.
BLAIRLucian is standing in my room, looking hot as hell in that tight t-shirt I’d seen him in, earlier. God knows how I was able to form words and not just drool like I wanted.I gave him a full look, not bothering to hide the fact that I was checking him out.He was doing the same to me so it was fair.Never have I ever been more grateful I wasn’t wearing one of my baggy t-shirts to bed. I was feeling a little sexy tonight so I picked one of the more provocative things I had with me.It was late and I knew Jaya had gone to bed. Surprisingly, she is an early sleeper.Alone in my room, in my bed, I thought I
BLAIRI looked into the mirror the next morning. My eyes wide and a little unfocused.I was somewhat glad I woke up to an empty bed. I didn’t know how I was going to deal with Lucian if I’d woken up and found him beside me.That would have made what happened last night more real.I knew it was, but I liked to lie to myself. Since he wasn't there when I woke up, maybe I imagined what happened.He didn’t actually come into my room. He didn’t make me cum three times, twice on his cock and once with his fingers.I groaned in annoyance when I felt that tingling sensation between my legs. Just thinking about him was making me wet again.Back to what I was saying. It didn’t matter if I lied to myself or not. He was here last night, and we had sex again. After I said that last time was the last time.This was starting to sound like a toxic relationship with that one ex you can never stay away from.I needed to get him out of my system. To find a way to make my body stop reacting to him that w
BLAIRI was waiting in the car for Jaya, who wanted to get something from inside the house.She forgot her phone, I think. Or was it her purse? I couldn’t remember.I was still going through my messages. A ton of them. They piled up with congratulatory ones which I had to reply to.Eliane sent me five messages since I left. Which was a record for her. She hated texting. I received three of her voicemails, which was also a record. She liked voicemails more than phone calls, because it was fast. So her taking her time to leave three meant so much.She was worried. Everyone was.I’d left with a man we didn’t know all that well and then I went MIA. I was always on my phone and the highest I left a message unreplied is a few hours. When I’m sleeping. It was unlike me to go days without any contact.Sasha was more dramatic. Her messages started with the usual gossip of what happened after the engagement. The people we were envious of and the likes. Then she started getting worried and asked
BLAIR “Wow.” The loud exhale made me turn around. Lucian was standing at the door, dressed in a tux with his hair gelled back and looking so hot. And the look in his eyes, the way he was watching me like he wanted to ravish me. It made my lower belly pool with desire and I couldn’t wait for us to get back so he could tear this dress off. “I can’t wait either.” He says against my lips. He got close so fast, thanks to his werewolf speed. It really came in handy most of the time. “You look better than the moon and stars, my love.” I had to clench my thighs when he said that. Those were simple words that have been said a million times. But somehow, when Lucian says ‘my love’ it sounds like the best words to have ever been said in the world. Even better than the words of the angels. “If we don’t leave, I’ll probably undress you and have my wicked way with you.” I stared into Lucian’s dark eyes and nodded, agreeing with him. “If we don’t leave. I’ll let you undress me and have your
BLAIRI stared at myself in the mirror, turning from left to right to make sure the dress fit perfectly. Wait, I know the dress fits perfectly. But I wanted to be double sure. Okay, triple sure. Fine, the millionth time sure.Tonight has to be perfect.“B, you look great from all angles.” Mikayla says while chuckling.I startled a little at the voice I wasn’t expecting. I totally forgot I was on a call with her and Sasha and Jaya.“Kayla is right, B.” Jaya is the one that said that. “You’re making me rethink my sexuality right now.”I breathed in and out slowly.“Give me one more twils mama. That ass looking thiccc.” I rolled my eyes at Sasha but did as she said.The girls all hooted and clapped when I did that, which made me laugh. My girls are literally the best hype women out there.“Okay guys, wish me luck.” I said as I went to pick up the tab, I’d positioned it on a shelf where they could see everything I wanted to show them well.“Hope you get laid tonight.” Mikayla says with a
BLAIR“How did you know the walk was going to be short for me?” I asked the girl when we stopped outside a large abandoned looking warehouse. The doors looked like they were once a blue color but now, they were a lot in hues of white dust and dark brown.“Because I made it short of you.” I looked over my shoulder, looking for my dad. He wasn’t close to us. “Don’t worry they’ll be here in a bit. I think there is someone inside you’ll be more interested in seeing.”“Lucian.” I said, huffing out a breath. She nodded and motioned for me to walk ahead of her.The doors opened as soon as I was close enough, thankfully. I didn’t want to touch it even with a ten foot pole.Warmth enveloped me the second I stepped foot inside the building. I didn’t understand how a place that looked like it was going to be cold from outside would be this warm. Then I looked up and it all made sense.There were many girls, similarly dressed to the one that escorted us, sitting in a circle. They all had somethin
BLAIR“You know.” I said to dad. There was no uncertainty in my voice because I knew damn well what I was talking about.I give him credit for not denying as he lifted his head in a nod. My mouth hangs open in shock and I turn in my seat to glare at him.“What?!” The yell slips past my lips before I could control it. “Why didn’t you tell me?”I asked incredulously. I was feeling a tightness in my chest. A feeling I could only describe as betrayal fills me. I couldn’t believe it.Really, who does that? To their own child!“I only found out recently.” Dad said in his defense but that wasn’t a good enough reason. And he knows that too because he adds. “And I know I should have told you, but what difference would it have made? You’re what, seven months along?”He motioned pointedly to my obvious bump. I scoffed, rolling my eyes. I was still upset and I felt betrayed. I would think mum would keep something like this from me, her idea of protection. But dad? He trusts me. He always believes
LUCIANLiquid fire was shooting through my body. Heating my bloodstreams and everything else. Sweat didn’t only form on my forehead and other parts of my body, it dripped. Like water was being rained on me. It drenched me completely.A low growl starts from my chest. In my head it comes out loud and makes the place shake to its foundation. I feel everywhere move, then again, it might be only my body that is moving.It was like something was drained from my head. Traveling through my whole system and leaving through my feet. I’d looked multiple times to see if there was a fucking snake or something. But it is nothing.The only real and physical sign that this is actually happening, is the sweat that has drenched my clothes completely.I’m sure if you strained it, it would pour. I didn’t even know I was capable of producing such an amount of sweat.No matter how hard I worked out, I rarely sweat like this.God, what the hell is she doing to me?“How long do we have to do this?” I asked.
BLAIR“Lucian is fine.” Dad said, squeezing my shoulders gently.Probably for the first time in my life, I doubted him. He looked like he was saying the truth and on any other day I would have believed him. But things aren’t adding up.Lucian went missing and suddenly he is here. From Revdville all the way to Cuba and he wants to tell me nothing is done? I’m not a child and I’m not stupid either.“Why are you here if you know he is fine?” I asked, the accusation clearing my tone.“Can we sit first?” I shook my head adamantly.“Blair, please.” He speaks in that fatherly tone and cupped my cheeks. “For your health, you shouldn’t be stressing yourself.”That made me cave and I took the seat like he suggested.“I’m seated. Now tell me what is going on.” I sounded like a demanding brat and he would have called me out on it any other day. But he let it slide, seeing how shaken I was.“Lucian is fine. And he will be fine.” The way he stresses the second part makes me have more questions. Wha
BLAIRLucian has been gone for the whole day. Well, for the three hours I’ve been awake. I even went out and took a walk around the place. Asking the people I ran into if they’ve seen him. But describing a man to strangers, even your husband, was hard.I liked to believe they understood what the hell I was saying since their answers were all no. I looked around the house more thoroughly when I returned. It isn’t like he is a needle that could get lost. Lucian isn’t even a small person to begin with. And let's not forget the commanding energy he has. I would feel it if he was present. But he isn’t.And I searched everywhere, hoping I would at least find a clue where he went. Or a note that I might have missed by mistake. There was neither of those things.Can a big ass adult go missing?I even considered him getting lost. But the man has better navigation than me. He remembers all the turns in all the places we went. He also had his wolf sense or whatever to tell him if the place he wa
LUCIANI was given a chair while Owen was tied to the ceiling by his hands. His mouth was still gagged but everything else was intact. If you asked me, he got off easy. I would have done worse to him if I were the redhead. But seeing as I was at her mercy too, I didn’t speak.I needed her help, so it is better she ignored him and got started on me.“How long do you think this will take?” I asked.She ignored me and kept moving around the place. Touching stuff and correcting the girls that were now sitting around in a circle. All of them were holding trays that had some weird objects on them. It looked like they were getting ready to perform a ritual. And well, I’m not really keen on being the object of those things.“As long as it takes.” She replied, after taking her sweet time. I’d almost given up on ever getting a response from her.“What exactly are we doing?” I said we, so she wouldn’t feel like I was dumping the work on her.I guess there is nothing I can say that’ll be right in
LUCIAN Before I could put the car in drive. A group of women appeared out of nowhere, rounding our car. They all looked like they were in their early twenties. About fifteen of them, dressed in all black. I glanced at Owen who looked more than relaxed. I wasn’t worried about anything but they were women. “We can’t fight women.” I told him silently. There was a woman, with bright red hair, glaring at the car with so much intensity. You would think she wanted to set us on fire or something. Owen noticed het too because he shrunk in his seat. “There’s a problem.” He whispers to me. I turned to him, seeing his eyes were on her. He was talking, but not moving his mouth as he did so. “You could mindlink, you know.” I told him. Wishing we were in an SUV instead of this car that was so close to the ground. An SUV is already intimidating. But this looked like a toy car to begin with. “In front of seers? That’s very dumb of you to think about.” I rolled my eyes. “Start talking. She lo
