LUCY. My heart began thudding loudly as I listened to Alpha Stone discuss sending trackers to find my family’s background. I closed my eyes and tried to even out my breathing before I answered him. "You really want me in your pack, Alpha Stone?" "Hmmm…" Of course, he would not admit it. "I already gave you my real name. Everly and Diego Foster are my parents. Diego is my stepfather, and he’s the only father I know." "Your mother never discussed anything about your real father?" "No." "So you’re not sure if you’re half-human or not?" He kept asking. "No." "You must be a fucking bunny!" His hand on my arm was now on my ass, squeezing it so hard before he slapped it that I couldn’t help but giggle. He then rolled over and hovered over my body. "But this little bunny under me can’t keep up with me. Shame." "You’re a beast!" I playfully sneered at him, my eyes beaming as my gaze took in his handsome features. "That I am…" His head dipped at the nook of my neck as he began nibbli

LUCY. My eyes snapped open at the same time my stomach growled as if something would come out of it. I shoved the blanket off my body as I glanced at the clock - it would be lunchtime soon, and I was still in bed. The Alpha did really let me rest, which was very thoughtful of him. I sniffed myself - I reeked of the Alpha and all the fluids that were mixed in and out of me, but I was not repulsed by them. But of course, I needed to wash it off me. With hurried movement, I rushed to the bathroom only to stop in my tracks when I caught sight of the bathtub. Someone had prepared a bubble bath, but the cold water and the almost-gone bubbles were a sign that it had been left standing for quite a while now. The Alpha might have done this, and I was sure they were for me because he told me he seldom used the bathtub. But because he had an unpredictable mood, he stormed off before we could enjoy this. I rinsed off my body from the cold shower and jumped into the almost-gone bubble bath wi

ADAN STONE. "Do you think, after you lied straight to my face, I have enough reason to trust you…" I didn’t want to tell her that, but it came out of frustration. Then Aeon’s words earlier suddenly came back. 'Some people are not comfortable sharing things that hurt them.' My gaze fell to her face. She had her head down and was biting her bottom lip so hard that I was sure she would be tasting blood soon, while her arms were hugging her body as if she was cold. I cupped her face and tilted it up, so I could meet her gaze. Frustration was flitting across her eyes. "Lucy… I want you to be honest with me." Her hands moved away from her body as she cupped my cheeks, and I let go of my hands on hers. "Alpha Stone…" "Adan…" I told her. A weak smile curled on her lips before she opened them to speak again. "Adan… Just give me time. It might just be a name for you, but… for me…" 'Some people are not comfortable sharing things that hurt them.' "It’s okay if you need more time." Her

LUCY. "Ready for dinner?" Adan asked as a warm smile tugged on his mouth. "Ready!" I smiled at him after I blinked back the tears pooling in my eyes. "Good, I’m starving. I missed lunch because some little bunny riled me up…" He teased me as we walked toward the dining hall with our hands still clasped together, and I just couldn’t help but giggle softly because he was right. We didn't come out of his suite after the incident at lunch with Alexa and Alpha Aeon, and we were just informed about this dinner when Beta Collin mindlinked him. We entered the dining hall in silence, and Adan helped me onto my chair before he sat beside me. Soon another older female with blonde hair came in, carrying a bowl of vegetable salad. She was so beautiful, and she looked like Alexa. Her eyes fell on me, and she gave me a warm, motherly smile as she placed the bowl on the table. She then walked to where I was seated, and I immediately stood up and faced her. "Oh, Lucy! You’re as beautiful as Adan

LUCY. The next four days went without a problem. Although Alpha Aurelius had not yet warmed up to me, he was at least civil and had not dropped any more questions or statements about my stepfather, which I was grateful for. As for Alpha Stone or Adan, he was just perfect as he was. He would throw tantrums once in a while and punish me for defying him. I had no idea if he was aware I was defying him on purpose so I could get punished. But at the end of each night, we would still end up in each other's arms, and it felt like there was a bond pulling us closer — something I always wanted from my mate, and somehow it made me happy that he was giving it to me. Alexa asked me about the secrets that I needed to tell her before my father took me away. And as much as I wanted to tell her about my demon side, I wanted to keep my promise to Adan that he would be the first to know. So I told Alexa I would tell her everything once I was able to tell Adan about it. She didn’t make a fuss about
