BLAIRI woke up to breakfast in bed, and arguably the sexiest man on earth, shirtless beside me. Lucian looked like he had been awake for a while and his attention was on me. Because the moment I opened my eyes, I found myself staring into his right blue eyes.“Good morning,” his morning voice was deep and raspy and that smile. Ugh, it didn’t things to my insides.I couldn’t obliterate the peace with my awful morning breath, so I clamped my lips shut and nodded. I moved to slip out of the bed and go make myself human again. But Lucian had other plans. He slipped his arm under me and pulled me to him.I let out a small shriek, not expecting the move. I recalled why I was even getting off the bed in the first place, and I brought my hand up and covered my mouth.“What are you doing?” Lucian asks, cocking a brow.“Nothing,” I replied too quickly for it to be believable.“I can’t hear you, B.” He rolled his eyes. And when I shook my head, he tried to peel my hand away from my mouth.I let
BLAIRAfter the tickling episode. Lucian and I had breakfast together. Traditional Tanzanian dishes. They were a bit spicy for him and I laughed, telling him it was the lack of excess melanin in his blood.“But that doesn’t make any sense scientifically.” He mutters, looking disappointed like a child.The only thing that was missing was the cute pout. And his lips would be perfect for that. I almost felt tempted to ask him to do that.“What has you smiling like that?” He questions, trying hard to not close his mouth. His face has started becoming redder by the minute. The tips of his ears too.He looked like he was being tortured with sweat on his forehead and his mouth slightly agape. It hurt to even look at his lips.“You.” I replied simply. He cocks a brow and asks why, to which I reply. “I think you’ll look cute with a pout.”The look he gives me is that of pure disgust. “Don't ever say that again.” He said in a threateningly quiet voice.“Just an observation,” I didn’t easily bac
LUCIANWatching Blair speak to her mother made a feeling of melancholy hit me. A sudden sadness I would say I haven’t felt in a very long time.It has been years since I lost my parents. I never really got the time to mourn them as I had to step up and become alpha. I had my siblings to look out for.Their relationship had been like a dream. It was one of those love stories you read in books. My dad had gone years without finding his mate, then he met my mum in a pub and they got along really well.They were both drunk and hadn’t realized their connection till the next morning. (I liked to pretend this part of the story didn’t happen). Long story short, she saw him gain, months later, when he visited their pack to speak to their alpha, her father.They recognised the bond instantly. He’d gone there to talk about them becoming allies, and he came back with a bride.I was born nine months later. And they were elated. She always made sure to tell me how proud she was of me. Since I was a
BLAIRI thought I was running fast. For a second, I even considered joining a track team. Because after not being physically active for a while. I felt I deserved a medal for being able to get this far in such little time. Best part, I wasn’t breathing heavily.It felt like I ran over the checkered flag when I made it out of the door without Lucian catching me.Seeing how ripped his body is, that guy worked out at least three times a week. And he may look like he worked in an office all day, but he got his body moving. Feeling like I was able to put so much distance between us that I wasn’t even hearing his footsteps. I was more than proud of myself.A gold medal on the way for me—“Ahhh!” I screamed at the top of my lungs when I felt something, or rather someone, wrap their arms around me.Not grab my hand or stand in front of me. No, a full hug.How the hell? How did he get here so fast? I didn’t even hear his footsteps. How is that possible?It was like he had superhuman speed or s
BLAIROur stay in Zanzibar was one of my best. Even though I didn’t get to swim. According to the tour guide, it was bad luck for the baby. I had no idea what that meant but she’d looked horrified. And well, self-preservation.Though it was equally satisfying watching Lucian swim. He made even that look hotter than it should.Our second location was Singapore. I recalled his look when I told him that. He couldn’t believe I wanted to go there. Even on the plane, he asked again why I wanted that. I didn’t give a solid reason so I just shrugged. We spent a week there, doing all the tourist-y activities.The girls were loving the daily videos that were like a vlog.When we went to Japan, I felt a shift between us. I couldn’t name it for the life of me and it had me worrying. Anxiety churned my stomach and for more than half of the day, I was in a weird state of panic. I don’t think Lucian realized, else he would have mentioned it. That I was sure of.We settled into our suite. Since I alr
LUCIANAll Blair needed was her orgasm, then she was fast asleep. I smiled watching her before I got off the bed and walked to the bathroom where I found a towel and wet it with warm water. After cleaning her up, I dressed her in the shirt I’d taken off. Something I found she liked and I took a shower and decided to get into bed with her.That sleep looked peaceful.When I got into the bed though, my attention moved to the bump protruding in my shirt. Her stomach has gotten even bigger now. You could easily tell she was pregnant. It made a force possessiveness wash over me whenever I see her.I moved closer to her, until there was no breathing space between us. My hands on my bump and the other supporting her head. She murmured in her sleep and snuggled closer to me.We had a dinner reservation for the evening. We woke up and lazed in bed for the rest of the day. We finally got ready a few minutes to eight, then stepped out of the hotel.“Ugh, we should have ordered in?” Blair grumble
LUCIAN“You’ve been here before?” Blair asked, closing the menu and keeping it back on the table.She looked through it again, after mentioning she had no idea what any of the things on it meant.“Not here, though.” I replied, watching her do the littlest things. Like how she moved her hair from her face often, the way she plays with her fingers.If there is one thing I can say about Blair is, she can’t sit idle. She has to be doing something. Movie her hands, touching This or that. It was endearing to watch, knowing not anyone would know this about her but I did. Because I saw her up close. Because she was free with me and she let me see all the small things she did.“I’m telling you about the country,” I nodded and told her, yes. I’ve been here a few times. “Why didn’t you mention it? I would have picked somewhere else.” She pouted, looking a little sad. “The whole point of going to places we haven’t been is so we can experience it for the first time.”I wanted to put that smile bac
BLAIRI never thought I would be the one overthinking school in this marriage. What I was even more shocked about was Lucian’s support.In my head, I thought he would just be his usual bossy self and he’ll implement what he thinks I should do. Which will make me lose it and we’ll have a fight. It was an endless circle.Except, he surprised me. He was more bothered than I was. Because when Sasha and Mikayla asked what I was thinking of doing. The first thing that came to my mind was deferring.I thought it would just be better to finish after my baby is here. I didn't want to put myself through much stress. It might affect my baby’s health. The thought of them not being fine made me feel like my chest is burning.In the end, he said we should leave the topic for another day. He wasn’t happy with me for the whole thing.I didnt know which school he went to. I’m not sure if his parents were in the house or what happened to them. But he has never brought it up.I felt like a crazy possess
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
