[Lucien’s POV]As the girls massaged my neck and arms, I closed my eyes, finally able to feel calm and relaxed. There were two of them; Elda and Angela, my private masseuses, and sometimes, I fed on their blood. They were humans who dwelled amongst us and they also knew who we were, but kept it to themselves.Elda reached for my thighs and began to massage the left one, while Angela was massaging the right one. It felt so good, and I moaned softly, asking them to go on with it.“Do you perhaps want something else?” Angela asked with a sly smile, mildly touching my groin.“I’m hungry,” I said to her, returning the smile.“I’m all yours, then,” she said, then gently pushed Elda away and sat on my laps, trailing her fingers across my chest then leaning in to me, exposing the vein on her long neck for me to see. I smiled as it seemed inviting, and proceeded to just suck on it before letting out my fangs to crunch it and probably down in enough blood for the rest of the evening.“Lucien, y
[Nivera’s POV]Tears streamed down my eyes as I sat in the far end of the dark cell, isolating myself even when I was already isolated. My ripped blouse was held firmly to my chest and I kept on rubbing my fingers again and again as the event that took place an hour ago kept on playing and replaying in my head.Maybe it was no big deal to be seen in just a bra by most people, but often, Omegas were paraded and used like sluts and so, it sent a negative message like I was no different from them. It made me feel really uncomfortable and even though my stomach was empty, it wretched with disgust and I wanted to puke.I might have ended up in a bar, serving customers while topless, but somehow, I had been lucky enough to end up as a maid in the palace where everyone saw me as cursed and wanted nothing to do with me. I might have been treated like dirt all my life, but I found it way better than being forced to live a life as a sex worker, and after what happened earlier on, I felt like I
[Lucien’s POV]“I look weird,” she said, eyeing the suit jacket I had given to her to cover herself up. She wasn’t wrong. The jacket was way too big for her and reached her knees, which made it quite clear that she had clearly borrowed it.“What are you saying? You look good,” I lied.“I know you don’t mean that,” she said.I suppressed a chuckle as I took a right turn. “Are you okay?” I inquired.She heaved a sigh, then shrugged her shoulders. “I guess so. Thanks for coming to my rescue. I will be in deep trouble if they find out before I return that I somehow got out of the prison cell,” she said.“Return? Who said I’m taking you back?” I retorted in a gentle voice.“I do want to leave forever, but I need to return in order to accept the Alpha’s rejection or he would hunt me down and kill me in order to be free from me. He believes the mate pull is a bondage,” she explained.“He’s not wrong. No offence, but no one should be forced to be with anyone,” I said.“You’re right, I guess…
[Lucien’s POV]I headed to the waiting room, scrolling through TikTok and laughing to myself, but not because of what the TikTok creators were busy doing, but because thoughts of her kept dancing in my head and it just made me happy that she was close to me now.I was a little bit scared because of how Celeste had described the mate pull, that she might end up leaving my side, but just for now, I wasn’t going to let the thought of that eat me up.An hour went by, but I didn’t even realise it until the door opened and she stepped in. I looked up, pausing the video I was watching about a cookie recipe I knew I was never going to try, and my mouth flew open as soon as I laid my eyes on her.I stood up in awe of her. She was the prettiest woman I had ever seen, back then and even now, and her beauty radiated throughout the entire room.With fair skin which glowed like milk, long blonde hair which had been let down and touched her waist, and rare green eyes that sparkled adorably, she defi
[Nivera’s POV]The drive home had been peaceful and awfully quiet. After we left the boutique, he had taken me to an exquisite restaurant where I had had Chicken Fried Rice for the first time, Banana Spring Rolls for dessert, freshly squeezed orange juice and a shot of tequila.The awkwardness between us didn’t stop me from enjoying the meal as I had previously been starving. He had barely even touched his meal, and I didn’t really care since I now knew that food wasn’t exactly going to fill him up.The gates automatically opened as soon as he pressed a remote control to my surprise. It was as though I was on a planet different from earth. Everything just seemed so different from my Pack; things were easier and simpler, and people were more accommodating.I gasped as he drove into the large compound. It was my first time of ever seeing his house from outside. It was a mansion, three times bigger than the whole of the palace back home and in the garage, there were different cars of dif
[Tyler’s POV]“For the last time, Maynard, where is the Omega slave?” I thundered.With tears in his eyes, he looked up to me as blood dripped from his forehead to the floor. “I promise, your highness, I don’t know where she is. I was guarding the entire place throughout and she never left her cell. I don’t know how she suddenly disappeared,” he said.Maynard was the person who guarded Nivera’s cell, and he had been the first to raise an alarm that she had gone missing. It all didn’t make sense to me, and that was why I had insisted that he be tortured. Someone had to pay the price for her disappearance, and he seemed like the appropriate person to do that.The guards I had sent a few hours ago to search the whole town for her came back, and as much as I looked at them, I couldn’t see Nivera among them.“Where is she?” I fired at them before they even got the chance to come closer to me.“I am sorry, your highness,” the chief guard, Larry, said, hanging his head low.“So, what you’re
[Nivera’s POV]I looked up to see who was at the door, and a smile appeared on my lips as Celeste, Lucien’s friend walked in with a small gift bag in her hands.“Hey, how are you doing?” she asked with a broad smile.I stood up and offered a seat on the couch next to the bedroom closet. “I am okay. It’s good to see you again,” I said.“Same here. Lucien thought you would be glad to be around another woman,” she said.“He’s not wrong,” I said, smiling shyly.She slightly raised her brows in a suspicious manner. “Is it me or have you taken a liking to him already?” she inquired.I chuckled and sat beside her. “Who wouldn’t? He’s a really nice man, and he’s always so thoughtful,” I said.“Yes. I got you this by the way,” she said, giving me the gift bag.I opened it gently and was surprised when I saw what it was – a red velvety lingerie set. “What… what’s this for?” I asked.She feigned ignorance. “I don’t know. It’s just a present,” she said.“I get that, but it’s such an unusual prese
[Lucien’s POV]“Welcome, sir,” Mrs Phil said as I stepped into the living room, holding my phone in one hand and a plastic bag in the other.“Yeah, thanks. Where is Nivera?” I asked.“She should be in her room,” she replied.“That’s strange. Usually, she’d come out to welcome me once she hears the sound of my horn. Carry on with whatever you were doing,” I said and proceeded to go upstairs.“She might be sleeping. It’s best to not wake her up,” Mrs Phil hurriedly said.“My bedroom is also upstairs. Who said I was going to see her?” I calmly retorted.“Oh, I forgot,” she said, and continued with her chores.I started climbing up the stairs, and I could feel it already. Something was wrong somewhere, and during the time I went out to take care of my real estate business, something had happened which I was unaware of… at least, for now.Contrary to what I had told the housekeeper, I headed straight to Nivera’s bedroom and knocked gently on her door. She didn’t answer, but I knew she was
