There was something sharp piercing my eyes. Extremely bright. It was blinding. And it hurt.I sucked a sharp breath in as pain shot through the back of my eyes and in my head. It felt like my head was being squeezed in a vice. I tried to open my eyes to look around but all I could see was blackness. I breathed through the pain to bury my fear, and then tried to calm myself down.I remembered Lucinda attacking me. The fear was still alive in my bones. Had she blinded me? Oh god… I hope I am not blind! My fingers tightened in fists in fear. That is when I realized that my one hand was not empty. A few fingers were wrapped around my hand, and they tightened when I squeezed my own fingers.“Hi,” a soft whisper was there. A familiar scent was in the air. I took a few moments to recognize it, and then whispered, “Adrian?”“Right here.” the voice was more audible now. I could finally breathe without panicking. My fingers tightened around Adrian’s hand more, my heart thumping in my throat.
I was not worthy of being with Adrian before in everyone’s eyes. But now… now I was the girl who would be pitied if Adrian ever even thought of accepting me as his mate. My life was ruined, wasn’t it?Tears made way through my eyes as the mere thought of being a burden on mom throughout our entire lives made me feel even more miserable. She never had a moment of peace with her omega status in the pack and now I was going to be an addition to that horrifying life.“You are not listening to me!” Adrian snapped. That is when I realized that he was shaking me by my shoulders, trying to bring me out of my thoughts and back to reality. “What?” I growled, pushing his hands off me, “WHAT?! What is there to listen anymore, Adrian?!”I was more angry at myself than him. I am an idiot! “It is not disfigured for forever!” he barked, grabbing my nape and pulling me to him, “calm… down.”My racing heard started to calm a little as his words registered in my mind when I looked into his eyes, “...
The amusement in his eyes disappeared almost immediately. It was almost funny seeing how his expressions changed within a mere moment. The mention of his sister and Adrian together was clearly not a topic worthy of pleasing him clearly.“Stay in your fucking lane, Omega.” he growled dangerously. If I had not known that he had intentions of killing me one way or another anyway, my knees would have given away already. But I stayed calm, staring into his eyes and showing him my indifference. I knew that begging for mercy was never going to work on a person like him.His finger tapped at my forehead harshly, seething, “If it was not for the special plans I have for you, I would have snapped your neck days ago. Don’t cross your lucky stars to jump into a suicide lane already. It is very much easier for me to discard you as it was to kill Kaya.” he then smirked and took a swift glance at the wounds on body, “the lesson I gave you, isn’t it enough to tell you I can do the things that you don
Even though I usually lifted quite heavy things on daily basis, carrying a whole girl out of the dungeon was certainly not my cup of tea. Thankfully, having the future alpha beside me who was accustomed to heavy weightlifting made it easier. The fire was spread throughout the area. We could hear people calling fire department and calling reinforcements. Since the fire was spreading fast, no one dared to come close to the dungeon which gave us enough opening to sneak out from the back where no one was paying any attention, and walk through the woods to go to my house.It did not take long for us to reach my house. Since Adrian was carrying Lucinda on his back, it did slow down our speed.“This way.” I whispered to him quietly when he started to go inside the house, pointing toward the side of the house, toward the small backyard.He turned on his heels, following me. I bent down, wiping away the leaves that had covered the door to the unground room, unlocking it. Opening the door, I l
“Don’t you know what your dad is going through while you are having a nice little vacation in that cell of yours?” I raised my brows, baffled at how clueless she looked, “your dad is Beta of our pack! Do you even know how he has been BEGGING alpha to get you out of here as soon as possible? He keeps saying you are innocent and there must have been a mistake, but the footage everybody saw of you throwing that acid at me did can not lie, can it?”Lucinda’s lips twitched for a moment, even though she tried to hide the upset stare, “So what? My dad will get me out of here at any cost! My dad-”“Your dad is becoming the butt of everybody’s joke for raising a daughter like you, Lucinda!” I snapped, showing her the mirror behind which she kept hiding instead of seeing the tru
His eyes widened in shock dramatically and his mouth fell open, startled by my sudden appearance. But before he could recover from it, I took my chance and threw the small pill I had in my hand in his mouth, and grabbed his jaw from the bottom to slam it close with my hand. He gulped hard with bulging eyes in fright and I watched as the pill slid down his throat.Mission accomplished.I let his jaw go while his heavy hands pushed at my shoulders forcefully. I stumbled back to my feet, almost falling, but managed to catch myself.“What the fuck?!” he blasted furiously, “what are you doing in my house?”I turned back around to face him calmly.
“I thought we were meeting back at your place after you were out of the underground room?” he raised his brows in question, his lips thinned in an upset line.“Sorry.” I mumbled, walking over to him, “I- I got stuffy so I thought I should take a walk.”“A walk? Really?” he straightened, hands in pockets, glaring at me, “you have learned to lie to me too?”Shit. I kept quiet, and started to walk back to my house.He followed me, walking right next to me, “I am waiting for you to explain right now.”“There is nothing to explain.”
“It is about what is going on around pack.” Adrian said, moving closer to his dad and folding his arms to lean against the table in front of him, “you don’t really believe that Lucinda attacked August for nothing, right?”Alpha Bruno gave Adrian a look that practically translated to ‘are you seriously here to waste my time with gossip?’“I would not be unphased,” Alpha Bruno shrugged, dropping the file that he was reading on the table and then facing Adrian again with indifference, “it was just a bit of burn on an omega anyway. Lucinda got angry, threw a liquid on an omega for not doing her fucking job properly or whatever. She was thrown in the cell for her mistake to learn her lesson. End of story. What is the big deal?”‘A bit burn’? Adrian’s body stiffened, but he remained in control, “That. And Kaya’s murder. Since the day Leila came to our pack, Leila and Lucinda were together the whole time. Lucinda never did anything bad until Leila came to our pack. Suddenly her behavior ch
