BLAIRLucian abruptly stands, startling me. He turns and gives me an apologetic look before he just walks out of the room, acting like someone who is possessed.His eyes were that weird black. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand.We’d been talking and flirting. Probably the most peaceful conversation we’ve ever had, if you don’t include the one at the hospital. Why did he suddenly start acting weird?I wanted to wave it off, thinking maybe he just realized what we were doing was dangerous and it would be best to stop it.I agreed with that. I couldn’t help thinking it was something else, though.I decided to leave it till the next day. I was already too tired today.After turning and squirming for hours on the bed, I accepted that sleep wasn’t going to come easy. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw those dark eyes. I kept thinking of all the other times I’ve noticed it.I used to think it was maybe because he was turned on. But that wasn’t how he looked.“Ugh.” I grabbed one o
LUCIANI didn’t think Blair would be awake that late at night.After we dealt with the rogues. They were just testing to see if they could get into the pack. But since they were stopped on time, most of them retreated.No one was killed but a few of them were injured. I know my guys were all fine. Thankfully.I stayed with them. We needed as many people as we could get to keep the borders secured and make sure they didn't come back.Their audacity to actually try to get into my pack. It was baffling and not funny in the least.We haven’t had to worry about any type of breach in years. More than five years since the last time anyone tried to get into the pack.It was all so sudden and it rattled the patrol. They felt maybe they failed in one way or the other.As the alpha, I had to make sure they stayed on their toes and didn’t wallow in pity. We all hated that they got in, but we couldn’t sit and be thinking of how, we first have to make sure it wouldn’t happen again.While we were in
BLAIRI hated how weak I felt and sounded. But what I saw yesterday, both from Lucian and that window, scared the hell out of me.Because it made me realize I actually had no idea who the man was.I met him in a club and married him. I mean, I knew all this. But now, I am seeing that I have no idea who he is.And I’m in an unknown place with him.God, how was I so stupid?I couldn’t believe I did any of that, and even dad agreed and let this happen?Something I know he would never do. Just one question kept ringing in my head.How? How had he convinced all of us to believe him, to do as he wanted?It didn’t make any sense.Lucian doesn’t argue though, he shows me the way to the bedroom I know. We walked down the stairs in silence. He doesn’t speak to me and I don’t start a conversation either.When we got to the door, I started getting nervous.I was scared he would want to follow me in. All I wanted was to close the door and then have time to myself so I could think. Then I’ll figure
LUCIAN“You’re in a pissy mood.”Owen comments as I walk into the office for our weekly meeting.Enzo elbows him in the ribs, but he barely even winced, his full attention on me. I’m tired of his shit so I don’t bother replying.I walk around to the bar and pour myself a drink, before adding a potion. If I’m going to get through this meeting, then I sure as hell need to be fucking tipsy.“Your drinking habits are starting to worry me.” My brother says, sounding concerned.He still annoys me though.They aren’t the problem, I am. And I know that, at least. But am I willing to do anything to fix my shit? Right now. I’m just tired of everything in general.“Where the fuck is Jaya?” I grumble, swallowing the last bits of my second drink.The door opened just as I said that and she trudged in, her mouth twisted in distaste.“Well, well.” Enzo mutters. “Looks like you both woke up on the wrong side of the bed.”“It’s twelve noon, idiot. Some of us woke up earlier than that.” She shot him a
BLAIRI’ve successfully avoided Lucian for a week now.I still haven figured one thing out. At least nothing strange has happened. I know this and I’m sure of it because I’ve been sitting by the window every night for the past ten days.I always wake up in my bed. I’m convinced there’s a ghost that takes me there. (Just kidding)Jaya has been good. She didn’t ask why I have been locking myself in my room and acting like a vampire, which I appreciate. She just makes sure I get whatever I need. Even sometimes going the extra mile.She is an amazing person. I’m glad she is here. Really, I wouldn’t know how to act if she wasn’t.The welcoming dinner or whatever, didn’t happen. I didn’t ask why because I was glad I didn't have to go.I didn’t have to see or talk to Lucian.I’m sick of just sitting in my room. Searching websites for stuff that aren’t making sense. And seeing the same four walls every single day. I decided to go out for a bit of fresh air, and maybe take a walk.I didn’t ask
LUCIANBlair looks at me. Her lips part like she is about to speak but she changes her mind and presses her lips into a thin line instead.“Okay…” I drew the word out, not sure why I started speaking.But I’m never sure of anything I do when I’m around her.She squints, her lips twisting into a cute frown as she has a mental battle. If she should acknowledge me or go ahead and do what she wants.“Your next doctor’s appointment is a week from now.”I knew I was stooping low by using our child to get her attention. But what can I do? It is all she is offering me.She doesn’t fall for the bait. My heart gave a tug, like something hard was tied around me. A tiny fist squeezing the organ for all its worth.I only had two options then. To stay and succumb myself to this endless pain, or get up and get the hell out of here with my sanity still intact.My wolf growls in my head, of course not liking that option. I feel him push to the forefront of my mind, wanting to take control. He believes
BLAIRI got up to leave a few minutes after Lucian left. With him gone, the place seemed too quiet. Too lonely and I have already had enough of solitude.I went back to my room and kept my tab there. I met Jaya on the way and she shot me a smile, then she asked if I was good. I nodded in the affirmative and continued my journey. I’m pretty sure I left her a bit speechless.I couldn’t explain, I felt a burst of energy just now and I wanted to expel it. I’ve lazed around for too long.My body needed a workout. Something I haven’t done in a while. And I know they have a gym here. The day I’d met Lucian’s brother, he looked like he was coming from there.For now, I have another idea. I can go to the gym another time. Instead of heading to the kitchen to get something to eat for a refill. I found myself walking towards Lucian’s office.I remembered the way from that dinner. On the God forsaken night I realized nothing is alright about this place.Do I know what I’m going to do in his offic
LUCIANI hadn’t heard when she walked in. But my wolf was on high alert and in control.The smell of her arousal betrayed her dirty thoughts. It didn’t push me awake, thinking I was just imagining it. I wish I could say I was ashamed to admit I have thought of that quite a lot. Never did I think it would be a reality.I hoped for it. Yes.My wolf was having the time of his life. Basking in the attrition Blair was showering him, even if she didn’t know she was doing it.What started stirring me awake was her scent getting headier. Stronger as she moved close to me. I didn’t know what I expected her to do but she barely even touched me. She started moving back, then she paused and reached for my phone.He must have decided the mouse and cat game was enough. He reached out and grabbed her hand. That was what spurred me fully awake. Only to find that he has pushed me to the back of my own head and he is now in control.Shit. This couldn’t be happening.“Hand in the cookie pot?”The famili
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
