Mag-log inThe 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
Lucero rubbed the blood off his hands on the wall. He turned towards the door, his eyes wide. “Anaïs!” He looked around the office, but she wasn’t there. He looked down at the motionless Samantha, then at the door.He had an idea of what Anaïs might have seen when she looked through the door. Lucero rushed out of his office, chasing after his woman. He got to the hallway before the elevator. The elevator going downward had its light on. He knew she was in that one; he couldn’t stop a moving elevator. The executive elevator was free, but the wait to go down would kill him, and so Lucero’s took the stairs in a split-second decision. He jumped down straight, landing on his feet in a slight crouch. His actions startled the cleaner. The poor old lady jumped in fright, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.Second person in ten minutes, Lucero had knocked her unconscious. He didn’t check on the old lady; he hurried down the corridor, ignoring the curious glances of his employees. By th
Sometimes mates' bonds activate only when they touch. But those cases are special. So Samantha thought that her case was special too. If she just touched him, even if it was just a little, the mate bond would be activated, and Lucero would be drawn to her. She reached out to touch him.“GET AWAY!” Samantha jumped back in fear. She didn’t jump back because of his words or how he said them. But because the voice didn't sound like his. It sounded more primitive. More animalistic. More dangerous. She watched him wearily.Lucero’s body had a defensive stance. His beast was growling inside him. Not the usual possessive growl. Not the instinctive response of a wolf recognizing its mate.This was different. There was raw disgust.Lucero’s own stomach twisted. He, himself, didn’t understand why. It took a good second for him to recover his body. His beast retreated. “Why?” He asked. ‘She is our mate.’ His wolf answered. But something about Samantha repulsed him.No wait! Everything ab
Samantha sat, legs crossed, facing the man who had brought her into luxury, Lucas.He had a huge scowl on his face, arms crossed over his chest. His fingers tapped quickly on his arm to signify his impatience.“Look. It’s not easy, okay. Lucero is—““LUCERO IS A WOLF!” Lucas yelled, slamming his hands on the desk. The force was so strong it left a dent in the mahogany table.Samantha jumped at the sound. “How long does it take to seduce a hot-blooded wolf?” He asked very slowly. Samantha swallowed. “Lucero doesn’t come there. I’ve tried everything. He even got the housekeeper fired.”“Ughhh.” Lucas punched the top of his nose. Any other wolf would have given in. Any other wolf would have fallen into the trap. But this one was proving to be difficult. Lucas sighed. “I guess I have no other choice.” He picked up the telephone on the table and dialed his assistant.“Bring him in.” Then he hung up.Minutes later, there was a knock on the door. “Come in,” Lucas said. The door opened
“I don’t believe you,” she whispered, loud enough for his ears to catch every word. With one look at his face, she walked away without looking back. Lucero was left behind. Stunned.“She didn’t believe him?” He asked himself. His eyes watched the back of the woman disappear around the corner. He laughed. Loud and angry. ‘She didn’t believe him.’ He repeated in his heart. He began moving towards her, taking one large step at a time. He took off his tie first, then his suit jacket. When he was close enough to her, he took off his shirt. Anais turned around to see him storming towards her. His face twisted in barely restrained rage. She took off.She ran like she was running away from a hungry wolf. Lucero chased after her. He wasn’t going to let her go easily today.She had to be punished.She and that little mouth of hers that had now learned to say hurtful things to him. ‘She should be punished.’ His beast growled in excitement and equal rage. Thub! Thub!Tap! Tap!The sound of
"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
Chapter 5 “Kneel.” The words fell into the hall like a command from above. The pressure was so powerful that the weaker wolves also fell to their knees, while the strong ones could barely remain standing. The weight of the word settled. Gasps rang out across the hall. The elders stiffened. The
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
