"I had this room specially prepared for you," He pointed to a door with a pink board on it."I thought mates are meant to stay..." I trailed off, flushing.Lucian nodded, chuckling, "Yes, mates are meant to stay together. However, I want you to come on your own accord. You have all the time in the world to reject me. If you feel I am good enough mate for you, you should let me know."Reject him? How possible was it? After he had announced to everyone in the pack house about her being his mate. She wondered if she wouldn't be stigmatized more than this if she dared reject him.Emberlynn shook her head, stepping towards the door. Stopping, she swirled back, glancing at him. He was still where he was standing. He didn't move an inch."I won't reject you," she murmured. She couldn't. Lucian had helped her from Damien, and she was currently mateless. Also, she had a connection with him, so rejecting him would make absolutely no sense."You are my mate," she said, and Lucian nodded."It's g
Emberlynn nodded and muttered, "Right.""It's best you stop thinking about him. He's no longer worth your time, and I promise to be by your side all the time." Lucian said.For the second time, Emberlynn nodded. He was promising her a lot of things. She wondered if he meant what he was saying or if he was just saying it to make her feel better.Lily arrived a few seconds later, and Emberlynn turned to her as she bowed slightly."I don't know how you like your bath, ma'am, but I hope you can teach me," she said, her voice somewhat low and trembling.Emberlynn was aware it was due to Lucian's presence. Everyone in the pack house seemed to be afraid of him despite the admiration they still shared with him."I'll leave you now," he stated, walking out of the door without looking back at her.When he left, Emberlynn let out a breath and turned to Lily with a smile."Why don't you show me the collections of oil you have? I can make a choice from it," Emberlynn said."Yes, Ma'am," Lily bobbe
As soon as the morning came, Emberlynn was out of the room to continue her tour. She had pleaded with Lucian during the dinner to take her on a tour again, as she could barely recall where she had gone the day before. It was the truth. It wasn't as if she couldn't remember it all; the exhaustion that had seeped into her as soon as she stepped into the pack made her concentrate less on the details. Stepping into a sizeable warehouse-looking room, they rounded the corner and arrived at a door. She turned to Lucian with a brow raised, and he smiled at her, gripping the doorknob. Opening it, he extended his free hand to her, and she clutched it. "This is the meeting area," Lucian murmured as soon as they stepped in. Emberlynn smiled broadly as she took in the spacious room. It had a high ceiling and windows, and there were several doors in the room, which she believed led to other rooms. She stepped away from Lucian and to the middle of the room, looking at each member carrying so
"Shall we continue to the other room?" Lucian asked her, and she nodded.Connor and the others had resumed what they were doing and acting as if they weren't in their presence. She believed it would make no sense if they kept staying there waiting for a discussion with them.Emberlynn turned to Lucian, offering him a smile as well as her hand for him to hold."So far, how do you like the tour? Would you have preferred if someone else did? I mean, Connor is another tour guide, and he had been said to be the best." Lucian said, and Emberlynn shook her head."I like you better," she said. Lucian raised a brow at her."Like?" he asked, his eyes twinkling, and Emberlynn furrowed her brows, then she flushed as she caught on to what he meant."No, I mean I prefer you better as a tour guide. You explain everything as we move, even the things I believe should be known by me since I was from a pack before today," she said, and Lucian shrugged."I enjoy being a tour guide, although I don't do it
When they returned to the main packhouse once again, Emberlynn was exhausted, but she listened to everything that Lucian told her.He introduced more sections of the house to her, likewise the maids. Also, the room he had told her about Earlier, she believed it wasn't his main room as he pointed another room to her."That's where I stay most of the time," he said, then turned away, making Emberlynn raise a brow as he had omitted a part of the building.There was a staircase leading upstairs. But instead of going to it, Lucian had walked back to where her room was.Perhaps it wasn't important, she mused. If it had been, he would have indeed addressed it to her. Also, he didn't look like someone who would keep things from her."I'll see someone to bring clothes for you," he said as soon as they reached her door."Clothes?" she questioned, and he nodded."I saw enough in the wardrobe, and I doubt I'd be able to wear them all during my stay here," she said, and Lucian rolled his eyes, ign
Emberlynn groaned as she came awake, turning around on the large bed. Her eyes snapped open as her hand collided with something.Then she breathed out, seeing the pillow that now lay on a heap by her side, including the one Lucian had brought with him last night; however, he wasn't in the room with her.She patted his side of the bed; it was cold to her touch, which meant he had left the room a long time ago.Sighing, she shut her eyes briefly and opened them to look down at herself. Her clothes were intact, and nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary.She guessed she had judged Lucian too much and had forgotten how much of a gentleman he was.He had come to her pack house to save her, and she hadn't even thanked him properly. Also, during their journey here, he didn't do anything to make her uncomfortable.The journey had been a four-day trip, yet Lucian hadn't gazed at her sexually, making her wonder if something was wrong with him.At the same time, she was glad he hadn't done any
Looking out of the opened window, a smile formed on Emberlynn's face as she sighted Connor climbing down from the red Mustang.He wasn't alone. She counted about six more men coming down from the black van that had sped inside.It could only mean they were back from hunting. She saw some of the men attempting to carry a hippo. They stopped after several attempts and dragged it in instead.Frowning as she looked around for Lucian, she didn't see him; she turned around abruptly as she heard a voice behind her."My lady,""You frightened me!" she gasped, placing a hand on her chest."I'm sorry," Lily said, looking at her feet. Then she glanced up."The Alpha shall be here soon, and you mentioned having dinner with him. Would you like me to prepare a bath for you?" she asked, and Emberlynn shook her head."I only need a dress to wear," she said, walking away from the window.She stripped out of her dress, walked to the bathroom, and halted as Lily spoke."Do you have anything in mind? I m
Emberlynn waited in the dining room for Lucian. And she took the opportunity to look around her.Just like not being able to take the full tour yesterday, she had barely glanced at the dining room when she stepped in. She only wanted to eat and leave as soon as she could.It was warm and inviting, filled with the soft glow of candlelight and the rich scent of polished woodShe placed her hands on the large rectangular table made of dark oak tree she was sitting in front of, sighing.The walls, painted with soothing shades of cream, were adorned with elegant artwork and ornate mirrors, adding sophistication and depth to the space. A stunning chandelier hung from the ceiling, its crystals refracting the light and cashing a kaleidoscope of colors across the roomThe room was far different from Lucian's personality. She had thought it would be cool and mysterious like him. But it exuded something different. Something she liked and was comfortable in.The door opened, and Lucian strode in
