“Are you sure, Alpha?” Daniel asked hesitantly, holding the leather whip in his hand, looking at Lucille with a worried expression. Leonel was leaning on the wall with his heart pounding in pain but he bore it, wanting to teach her a lesson. “What happened huh? Get scared by a few lashes? Can’t bear your mate’s pain, huh? Pathetic.” Lucille mocked, sensing the suffering of Leonel and making fun of it. “You will never understand the condition of a worried heart.” Leonel responded with a sigh. “The word worry doesn’t fit in your ruthless box.” She ridiculed him. With another sigh, Leonel gave her a cold gaze. “I know. That’s why-” He turned to Daniel. “Make her countdown from ten.” He couldn’t bear more than that. “Alpha-” “Do it.” Daniel looked at his Luna. “I am sorry, Luna.” “I am not your Luna!” Lucille shouted. With a deep breath, Daniel hit her. Leonel knows he couldn’t do it but it wouldn’t be fair so he forced himself. “Where are you running? Come and witness, Cowar
Lucille And in that moment, I found the path I lost. The actions I should have done. My resentment wasn’t restricted to war or bonds, It could be in any form . I just lost my ability to apprehend and when now I do, He can’t outwit me. “Let’s negotiate!” I shouted, halting Daniel’s action at the very end, getting on my knees and lowering my head. If I have to swallow my pride to make you pay, I will. “Hmm?” “What did you say?” He said in his usual deep, tempting tone. Suppressing my smirk I whispered, “Let's negotiate… Please, spare her.” I repeated my words. “Do you think you are in any position to demand anything?” “Do you think I will let you mark me willingly?” I asked, raising my gaze and looking at him. He smirked, raising an eyebrow, “What are your intentions, love?” “My pack’s protection and for it, I will accept countless surrenders.” I responded honestly. “Ah. I see… Good enough for me. Release her.” Leonel ordered, moving back. Daniel let go of Wendy
“Okay then, listen to my terms as well then.” He said, clearing his throat, gaining my attention with a gist of worry. “Yours?” “It would be fair if both of us put conditions on. And not to mention you are the one at disadvantage.” He jeered, pissing me off. “What are they?” I asked. “Not much. First, your girls won’t interact with my members, no matter what.” He said. “Fine by me. It’s the same as mine. You just added interaction as well.” I scoffed, knowing it’s for the best because they might become friends but their leader won’t then it’s of no use. “Whatever. Second, you won’t take part in the matters of my pack.” I gave him a perplexed look, “I am their Luna.” I reasoned. “I don’t trust you.” “Violating my fourth condition.” I said with a smirk. “But my condition that you won’t be a part of it is still valid.” He said deadpanned. “If I can’t be a part of it, I need to be aware of it. No decision will be made without me, even if I won’t take part but I must know.” I sa
“No, Lucille please, life is giving you a second chance, accept it.” “And do you think Leonel, who died for a mate, would be happy to know that this body already belonged to someone else?” I exasperatedly asked about the foreseen events, knitting my breaths to fright. “He will kill me.” I told her the harsh truth. “He wanted his mate to be pure like a delicate flower so he could defile me himself, he wouldn’t let me go.” I said the bitter word which made me hate him. the painful reality which made me want to break our bond. “But what you are doing is too dangerous.” “I have no other way, I have to break this bond, I can’t… I am not ready to give myself a second chance.” I said sadly, biting my cheeks, remembering all these agonizing memories which killed me from inside along with an incomprehensible suffering. “We will consummate our bond.” I said in a low tone. “What!? Then he could read your mind and it would be-” I cut Henna off. “I know the deception of mind quite wel
“Are you sure Lucille? If Alpha Leonel came to know you are planning to destroy his pack, you’ll be his slave forever.” Stacy said, concerned while zipping my navy blue dress, having a long slit showing my thigh, adorned with beads, reading me up for my marking ceremony. Her worry is fair but I cannot go back now. If I let him take over him, he will restrict my breaths and I won’t let it happen. ...The earth and sky could become one but not us... “I’d be fine, all I have to do is control my mind and emotions.” I said, looking at my reflection, void of any emotions while applying lipstick enhancing my features more. “You don’t have to worry about me, I have faced worse situations.” Not looking forward to the upcoming event but thrilled too for finding a new adventure in which my prey would be none other than my mate. “Your habit of playing with fire hasn't ended?” Samantha’s ridiculing voice came from behind, releasing a jeering laugh at my words, knowing how I indulge p
Samantha whispered, leaning close to my face, smirking at my pathetic condition. “Don’t be ridiculous. I don’t give a damn about-” “You want to kill Leonel because you are frightened to fall for him, to lose him. Better kill him before things went too far. I never knew you were such a coward.” She laughed. I grit my teeth, her words are igniting a raging fire in my heart. ...There are things in your heart which if concealed, the better… And she was trying to let them out which horrifies me to see the missing piece. I won't fix my puzzle, I won’t let it happen. “Good Luck for your night.” She said, I scoffed at her words, belittling them and straightened my back. Finally regaining my affectation, I gave her a cold look, “Do you think I’d do this?” “You broke your facade for a second Lucille and I clearly saw how miserable you are.” She sneered. “Do you think I will let it happen?” I asked again in the icy tone. Her smile faded, “No. You are a villain. You will live in sorrow
Leonel “You are cursed.” Those three words echoed in my mind, stirring it, leaving me to the point where I don’t even hope to receive love from my mate. I sometimes ask myself this question- Why me? “When it could be someone, more savage and ruthless than me. I mean I never killed children except the kids who died in the fire at Raymeyer but it wasn’t my fault. They made me like this.” I was running away but how could I be a victim of a curse only because I have a thirst for blood in my heart. Why does my life have to suffer from hardships and especially a curse? “Okay, I get it I am cruel but isn’t life more heartless to me that it stole everything from me and Carl?” I asked myself Am I not hurting? “How delusional.” I mocked myself, shaking my head and letting out a sigh, disappointed at my vulnerable thoughts. I stopped thinking like this long ago but today my heart was sad. I continued to look out, watching the sunrise as the mark of my new life with a mate after a ce
I freshened up and had breakfast. After breakfast, Lucille left for the fortress, leaving us all alone. “Seems like she is gonna spend her time there.” Carl said, sitting beside me. “Hmm.” I hummed, leaning back. “I guess they even separated stocks from us.” Carl told me. “Those were independent women, they will consider it a mock that now they have joined us, they need us.” “It’s ego.” “Given to them by their Female Alpha.” I let out a hollow smile. “Also, Carl.” I called him. “Keep an eye on Lucille, I don’t want her to cause any trouble.” I order. “Roger, Sir.” “It’s hard to believe we are at a point of peace, she must have been plotting something beware of it.” I warned him. “Yeah… It’s hard to predict what she is gonna do.” Carl hummed. “She will break us from inside but we don’t know how.” I told him and turned to look at him, “She might start with Jessica or with some sort of deception.” “Why Jessica?” Carl asked. “Judging how much Jessica hates Wendy and how much she l
