“WON’T YOU regret it, though? If you do that, only the enemies will get to have a taste of me. Darling, aren’t you curious about what I’d taste like?”
The corner of Luther’s mouth moved up a bit. He looked so relaxed and so confident as if he was having the greatest time of his life at the moment. “Trust me. Once you have a taste of me, you wouldn’t dream of tossing me away. I guarantee you would ask for more. You’re going to love me. I mean not to brag but other women would kill for what you have right now.”
“They could kill each other then. That would really benefit me and my clan a lot.”
Luther chuckled as he spun me around the dance floor. “I could almost hear the gears in your head whirring. Relax, darling.”
The devil works fast, but Luther works faster, that’s what I realized during the dance I had with the Alpha. He received a report stating that after the wedding, the humans headquarter had exploded. It was the place which took us quite a while to find. And the Alpha had sent the Beta and some of the wolves to invade it tonight while everyone was still busy because of the wedding.
Unfortunately, when they arrived, the place was already beyond saving. And the last person who came out of the headquarters minutes before the explosion was no other than Tristan, Luther’s righthand man. That was according to Clay, the Beta who arrived in the area first and was waiting for the back-up when the explosion happened.
But based on the noises I’d heard around, even the Governor was surprised by the explosion. And it seemed genuine judging by the sound of his heartbeat and how his face had lost its color which only meant that his beloved son acted on his own. In fact, his father was looking at Luther right now while the rest of the humans were all screaming and cursing me with their eyes, I just know it.
Yet, Luther didn’t seem to give a damn. Where is his confidence coming from? What kind of secret weapon is he wielding?
But if he thought I’d be swayed by what he did to their headquarters, he was wrong. He must have pulled that off hoping to win the pack’s trust. If he could betray even his own father, that just proved how dangerous and deceitful he is. And he could do that to a bunch of people, too. I wonder who will he betray next?
“You’re staring quite a lot, darling. Why? Are you now tempted to have a taste?” Luther asked as he pulled me closer to his chiseled body. Once again, his hand roamed up and down my exposed back. I shivered when I felt what seemed like an electric current that traveled from my back to different parts of my body. I took a rough breath when I felt the strange sensation even between my legs. And if only we weren’t being watched, I would have smashed his face already.
Too bad, I can’t do that, not yet at least. I must hold back. I have to keep his face and bones intact until I get what I want from him.
“Just say the magic word and we could leave right this very minute,” he added in a teasing voice.
“Don’t pretend like you don’t know what’s going on. What scheme are you cooking up, Lucifer?”
I know I needed to gain his trust but if I play the role of a good wife too soon, he won’t buy it. He was way too sharp for that. In the following days or weeks, I may have to act like he’s slowly winning me over. This mission will take time, but it doesn’t matter. That was the beauty of revenge. We don’t mind the waiting part. We had waited for years. We could wait for some more just to make sure that we’ll get even this time around.
“It’s Luther, darling. Did you really forget or you're doing this on purpose to rile me up? How cute.”
“I knew it. 'Lucifer' really suit you better.”
He clicked his tongue. “If only your manners had matched your face, I’d have been the luckiest groom in the world.”
“Spare me that crap. Your mother’s been spreading rumors that there is a woman you’ve been in love with for quite some time now. And you were supposed to marry her. But because of this alliance, you were forced to end things with her. Was the explosion your way of avenging your first love?”
Luther chuckled. “Love? Oh, please. It’s 2022 and you still believe in that stuff?”
So, I was right not to believe Mrs. Molly who was still busy spinning a sad tale to gather more sympathy. But what I found more entertaining was the fact that the guests still bought that story when Luther looked like he’d believe in aliens more than ‘love’ and ‘marriage’. Even now, I could still hear Mrs. Molly spewing big, fat lies while eating with the guests.
Well, I hope they all get indigestion.
“Then what was the explosion about?”
“It’s about you.”
He didn't deny that he was behind it. I narrowed my eyes. “What game are you playing?”
“For now, just know that I play to win. But if it’s you, who knows? Maybe I’d be generous enough to lose for the first time in my life.”
Talking to Luther was a game itself. You have to guess which was the lie and which was the truth.
When the song was over, he was about to release me. But this time, I was the one who pulled him near me when I held his collar. Our faces were so close now that we could smell each other’s breath. I could smell the wine from his mouth which I found strangely intoxicating and yet, I went on. I pressed my breasts against his chest. And when I saw how his jaw clenched, I smiled and licked the bitemark in his neck.
When he froze, my eyes glistened. So, it wasn’t just me. Luther could feel it, too. Just like me, his body burns and shivers to my touch. When our eyes locked, my stomach tightened when his eyes darkened as he stared at my lips.
“If what you said was true, then tell me. What will it take for you to lose this game?”
“You, darling. All of you.”
(Luther) “I WANT YOU heart, body, and soul, Alexandra.” I swallowed hard when Alexandra suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck. She tiptoed and pressed her forehead against mine. Our lips were barely brushing against each other. She was one hell of a beauty and she knew it. She knew how to use her face and body as weapons. And it was working. Alexandra had the ability to arouse people’s greed. The second I saw her walked down the aisle, I’d been resisting the urge to take her to the nearest room, pin her against the wall, and claim her. Every fiber of my body wanted her. And she was not helping me fight the temptation with her this close to me. She was just making me want to gobble her up right now. “If you’re aiming for me, don’t you think you at least have to be worthy of me? I’m not just anybody.” Of course, I knew that. She was not the only one who did a little digging about backgrounds here. I’m aware that my little wolf’s existence had made quite a history. Alexandra was t
“YOU SHOULD have just sent us a gift. I heard you came straight from the airport. I’m sure you’re tired. You didn’t have to bother coming all the way here since the gift would have been more welcomed and more appreciated than your presence,” I told Giovanni, the Vice President’s son as soon as I saw him at the gate. Giovanni’s fully-armored guards stood behind him. There were seven of them, mine were five. And they all seemed ready to kill including my cousin who rushed forward and grabbed me by the collar. “Why did you do this? You knew my feelings for Alexandra! I was only gone for a while!” he yelled. “I was supposed to be her groom! You were aware of my plans and yet, you betrayed me, you bastard!” “I may have known your plans, but I didn’t say I would simply go along with them and do nothing. This is why you lost your chance. You let your guard down,” I replied in a neutral voice as I brushed off his hands and straightened my suit which had only intensified Giovanni’s anger. “T
(Alexandra) “I SEE an incredibly gorgeous man and you see an enemy. We are seeing things differently, dear.” I frowned as I glanced at Beatrix, my cousin, my best friend, and my assistant all rolled into one. She was on the left side of the hall, a few tables away from me. She raised her wineglass when our eyes met. Beatrix showed up as Kenji’s partner for tonight and no one doubted her because she was a famous model in the country. She also had an established background and was also known for supporting charities. There was only three people Luther had kept close all these years. Tristan, Isaac, and Kenji. And since the twin brothers were constantly in San Antonio, Beatrix targeted Kenji who worked in Manila, and seduced him so she would have a reason to return here one day since San Antonio was also Kenji’s hometown. Now, Beatrix got the playboy billionaire wrapped around her fingers. I snorted. “Have you forgotten what the humans did to us, to our family? It’s impossible for me
I BIT my lower lip so I wouldn’t burst out laughing after getting in the bridal car since the men who escorted me out of the hall after I pretended to faint were just nearby. I haven’t had this much fun in years.Luther couldn’t join me in the car since Mrs. Molly begged him to stay with her. She was afraid to be alone in the police car after her husband walked away on her. As for the aconite issue, the verdict will be out tomorrow afternoon once the Governor and the Alpha had sort things out in the morning.For now, Mrs. Molly will not get to have her beauty rest in the hotel or in her mansion. She would be spending the night in the cold prison cell since both Luther and his father cannot contact the Alpha. Before that, I know that Trix had already informed my father not to accept any of their calls at the moment. It was the Beta who told the Sinclairs that the Alpha and the Luna were away and would be back to meet them tomorrow.Mrs. Molly cannot avoid imprisonment after I exposed w
WHEN Luther’s hands spread my legs, I immediately opened my eyes. I sat straight and was about to slap him when he caught my hand. He chuckled as if he was already expecting my reaction. Was he just teasing me? I’m stronger than him. I could easily take my hand back and slap him with my other hand or even punched him in the gut. But I stopped the second I saw just how mesmerizing he looked as he laughed that I had to turn away. My chest felt like it was going to explode but not out of anger this time. What was this strange feeling hanging within me? “What are you doing here? What about Mrs. Molly?” I asked when I returned to my senses. I coughed. “I think with a little rest, I will start to feel better. Tell her that what she did broke my heart, but I’ve forgiven her that’s why I hope that she learns to forgive herself, too. This is my second chance at life and right now, I’m just grateful that I’ve recovered from the poison.” Luther looked at me with a knowing smile on his face. “
“WHERE are we heading? This is not the direction towards Luther’s mansion,” I told Mark after he passed by the route which would have lead us to the mansion which the Governor had given to me and his son as a wedding gift. Before the wedding, the Governor toured me and the Alpha to the ‘love nest’ he bragged about that’s why I knew the way. I only had to see things once to remember them. And we are now so far away towards that extravagant nest which he filled with his people disguised as servants. “The Boss instructed me to send you to his real house, ma’am, and not to the mansion which the Governor had bought for the two of you,” Mark explained politely. “We will be there in about twenty minutes. For the meantime, please feel free to take a nap if you want to. I will wake you once we have reached the house.” “No, thanks.” Not long after, my phone vibrated. The voice message came from Luther. Like me, he probably got my contact number through his assistant. “You are not lost, darl
(Luther)“I’VE HEARD about your wedding. Congratulations, Mr. Sinclair. You got yourself a very gorgeous wife. Alexandra, wasn’t it? Without her werewolf gene, she would have been perfect. It’s such a shame.”I glanced at the police chief whose words had stopped me from getting inside the police station. He was among my father’s puppets. But tonight, it doesn’t really matter.I only went out for a while to talk to my assistant when I saw this guy at the entrance. He was smirking as he leaned against the table with a cigarette in his mouth. I know him. He was famous for being an asshole. I even heard that he made quite a ruckus when he learned that he was not invited to my wedding.Talking to my parents had already sucked the energy out of me. And now I have to deal with this scumbag, too? I almost feel tempted to believe that I was being punished.“This is why people like you suck, you know. You don’t realize that my wife is perfect just the way she is. Her being a wolf is actually on
“WELCOME back, son.”I swallowed after hearing Suzanna’s affectionate greeting. No matter how many times I tell her to not wait for me each time I’d drop by, she never listens. It was past eleven in the midnight. The parade had caused a stir. I had to attend the organization’s emergency meeting before I got to drive home.“I’m glad you will finally get to live here. I know it had been a tough day, but knowing you, I’m sure you did well. Congratulations on your wedding, Luther,” she said with a smile.I’ve heard the same thing over and over again today. But Suzanna was the only one sincere about it.If she was my real parent, maybe I wouldn’t be the man I am today. I wouldn’t have to spend my whole life treating my parents’ house like a warzone. I can’t complain, though. Being a Sinclair had its benefits, too. This marriage, for example.When the cold wind blew, I fixed Suzanna’s shawl. “Thanks for waiting for me. It’s cold. Get inside.”“I heard the news from Mark. I know you’ve been
