ログインThe door closed behind her. She heard everything he said. And with it, the last fragile hope she had carried into that room disappeared. Outside the mansion, Anaïs kept walking. Trying to keep one foot in front of the other. She got into her car, started the engine, and drove off.She didn’t drive back to the castle. She circled the city. She didn’t know where she was going. She only wanted the breeze to blow against her face, blowing away her raging thoughts too. Her chest hurt. Every breath felt difficult. Her stomach was queasy. She pressed a hand against her stomach, trying to calm the sickening feeling twisting inside her.She had expected this all along. He chose his real mate. The words he said repeated themselves in her head.She had known this day might come. She had known that the law surrounding destined mates could make her position complicated. She had even asked Lucero whether he intended to let her go.He got upset at her for doubting him. He had told her he would n
The sound filtered through the small crack under the door. She recognized the voices; one of them was the same voice that had whispered to her every night just a month ago. Anaïs stopped.For a moment, she didn’t want to open that door. She did have the courage to face what was inside. Her heart beat faster. Her chest ached from the force. Her knees were quivering. “Could it be?” She asked herself and pushed open the door. Her eyes fell on both people behind the door. She stopped. Not because she wanted to…But because she couldn’t move.Lucero and Samantha were on the queen-sized bed. Both naked from the waist down. Their clothes were thrown everywhere, as if they'd been in a hurry. Samantha’s arms were around his neck, her lips close to his ears. Her legs were around his waist. Fingers slowly loosened around the door handle and covered her mouth. Lucero and Samantha had also stopped what they were doing when the door opened. Both turned toward the entrance, their eyes landin
The picture looked like it was taken from a secret position, and that made it worse. Anais narrowed her eyes at the picture. Lucero stood still and straight, while Samantha wrapped her arms around his waist and her face pressed against his chest. From this angle of the picture, it looked like he had willingly embraced her even if he was stiff. She shook her head. Maybe this was a doppelgänger. It wasn’t impossible. But for a doppelgänger to be this perfect. He brain already agreed that it was him, but her heart refused to settle. She still remembered the near kiss they almost had at his office. Anais stared at the screen. Then she saw it. Her heart began pounding.“No.”She enlarged the image. Lucero’s face was partially visible. She couldn’t tell what expression he was wearing. But Samantha looked perfectly comfortable, if not happy, to be in his arms.But that wasn’t what she saw. The clothes he wore were the clothes he changed into yesterday. And on the floor, almost cut out f
Lucero heart was heavy as he walked into the office. Matthew followed him right after. Lucero's eyes went to the spot where the incident happened.It had been cleaned up, but there was a small dent on the wall. Lucero stared at it.Matthew stopped behind him. He cleared his throat. “The dent was supposed to be fixed in an hour.” He said.Lucero looked away. “Have the office renovated. Move my desk before tomorrow.” Matthew swallowed. “Yes, boss.” The office was enormous, with a large desk, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a separate door hidden behind a tall bookshelf.Only two people knew about this room, and that was Matthew and Lucero himself. He pushed the door and got into the room. It was small and almost entirely bare. There was a narrow bed, a chair, and a heavy silver chain attached to the wall.This was where Lucero had stormed off to the night he quarreled with Anais. The chain wasn’t for decoration. Before Anais, this was an emergency room for when he went berserk in the
The guards at the gate felt the air pressure change seconds before the howl. They got out of the building, looked down at any visitors, and saw Lucero on his hands and knees outside the gate.At first they were at a loss for what to do. They thought he was only sad because his mate wouldn’t let him in. Then they saw his claws sink into the ground so easily; the ground felt like cake. Then they saw the most. They paled. Lucero froze when he opened his eyes. Black mist seeped from beneath his shoes, curling around his ankles before spreading upward to his thighs and downward to the ground. His eyes blazed a fiery gold. The air pressure became violent. Then came the howl that carried tremendous power. The guards at the gate felt it immediately. Their knees buckled in fear.They were trained to withstand whatever situation with courage. But this…This was different. One of them stumbled backward, his wolf screaming and fighting him to abandon his position. “What is that?” Another g
Lucero froze. “What did you just say?” He slowly turned his large head to stare at the guard menacingly. The guard swallowed. For several seconds, Lucero didn’t speak. Then his eyes narrowed.“She did what?”“Her exact words were that nobody should open the gates for you.” The guards said, wringing their caps. He closed his eyes, waiting to be pounced on. Lucero stared at the pale guards as though they had all suddenly lost their minds.“This is my castle!”“Yes, Alpha.”“Then open the damn gates!”The guards looked at one another. None of them moved. One finally cleared his throat.“Forgive us, Alpha. But in your own words, “the Luna’s orders take priority.”Lucero’s mouth fell open slightly. His own servants, whom he paid every month, were refusing him entry into his own home.Because of Anais, and the worst part?They were not even wrong.Even before Anais had become Luna, the servants had learned that her words carried more authority, and it was Lucero who made it that way. Bu
Chapter 4 She knew who exactly he was. The realisation hit her before she could stop it. ‘Of all people…it was him.’ A bitter thought spread in her chest. This perverted wolf. Lucero looked down at the woman with a cold face. Anais sucked in her breath. ‘Was he here to mock her too?’
Chapter 3 LUCERO He had received the invitation three days ago; a formal dinner between packs. The meeting was political. Necessary... A Waste of time. His father had insisted he attend, saying it was beneficial for the peace and progress of his pack as the next alpha. But he knew better. N
Chapter 2Damian stopped in front of her. He opens his eyes. His face twisted in disgust.“The fuck?” he muttered to himself but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. “Why her?” As soon as he spat out these words the whole room froze. Then their faces curved with mixed reactions. They began to
"What the fuck? Why her?" His voice echoed through the silent hall. Hundreds of mocking eyes turned toward Anais. Her Destined mate was staring at her like she was dirt stuck to his shoe. Chapter 1 Anais balanced the tray carefully on one hand. She ignored the eyes on her, the wolves that hud
