Lucy's POV The appointment with the hairstylist took time and I got to Dominic’s apartment late. I have forgotten to ask him for the passcode, I just hope he isn’t asleep at this time. I know I told him I would be late, I never expected it to be this late.I rang the bell, waiting nervously for him. The only person I have shared an apartment with is Joe and the rest, it was them giving me the passkey to their penthouse or appointment. Tonight, I was different and even if he didn't notice, he would be the next day.Somehow I was hoping to hear him tell me about it, the door opening bringing me out of my thoughts. I sucked in a deep breath when our eyes met, he glanced at me and then walked away sluggishly causing me to slump my shoulders dejectedly.‘I guess, I have to do it the slutty way!’ I thought and then stepped into the apartment. He can act cold and distant for all i care, my mission is to bring him down either way and repay him for making me staying in that fucked up prison f
Lucy's POV Two weeks!Two good weeks had passed me by, but it felt like a blur with the days passing by. Dominic turned stone cold, only focusing more on business and also working me till my limbs couldn’t handle it. Late night sleeping, and he keeps checking and treating me like I am his servant.Heck, even at his apartment, he just goes into work mode. Honestly, I am tired; I haven’t been able to get close to him like I thought I would. Those signals he sent my way just vanished as if they hadn’t been there. I wonder what went wrong?Had I gone too far when I pushed him away? Was that wake-up call for him?A sigh escaped my lips as I shook my head slowly. I put on my dress and heavily sprayed the perfume Lassandra gave me. I glanced at the content in the other bottle; I needed to ask for a refill. Two bottles had finished, and that’s because of how strong he is. Lassandra has made known that he is an Alpha; though not taking over a pack, he is still an Alpha born.‘What am I going
Liam's POV We got home earlier than expected. Kaden was jumping immediately. Hazel's scent wafted through my nose. I hastened my steps just so I could get to where she was; a smile glistened on my face when I saw her in the kitchen.Elara was helping her out, looking like Hazel got some stain on her body. It’s very cute to see her try something new; Hazel hated cooking. She’d told me the reason why, and it was the most hilarious reason ever.And now she is trying to learn, which is so cute, seeing her draped in an apron with her hair tied in a neat bun and two strands loose at the front. “Busy with something, uh?” I said calmly in a teasing tone.Hazel jumped up in fright as if she weren’t aware of my presence. She lost her balance, almost slipping, but I was fast enough to catch her before her butt landed on the floor.“You!” she half-yelled, hitting me on the chest while I helped her up before stealing a kiss. “Liam,” she shrieked, but I laughed.“So tell me, what are you doing?” I
Liam's POV Things have been good lately, with Hazel giving me a chance and the kids happy to start a new school. Today, I was having a meeting with the other Alphas. Slasher is becoming a pain in the ass. I thought he was something I could handle later, but with the complaints we are getting from the rogues and the threat, in addition to the missing people’s case, I knew I had to call a shot.All Alphas took their place at the table; their piercing eyes were on me. Neither knowing why I had assembled them here, when the next meeting was supposed to take place in the next three weeks.“I called everyone here because the matter at hand is an emergency,” I said and paused, my eyes taking in all of them. Slasher had a forced smile as he played with the ballpoint pen in his hand as if he were forced to be there and can’t wait to be out.“Is it regarding your mate? Want to perform another ritual?” Pascal, one of the alphas, asked while I shook my head.“This isn’t about my mate, but the r
Lucy's POV Today is going to be the day I get rid of my old life. The number of times I have tried to hold my grip together is countless. I thought he wasn’t interested in me, but the stolen glances and smirk he sent my way were mischievous.It made me wonder if he’d found anything or am I beginning to think a little about each expression he made my way?“Care for a coffee?” he offered, and I stared blankly at him.“Sure,” I responded after a second thought. I was supposed to lead him on and not try to push him away from me.“Black or you want some milk and sugar in it?” he inquired. Acting so sweet which is super weird because what i heard about him was the opposite.“You are weird,” I blurted out, not hiding how uneasy I felt around him.“You are acting differently from what I've heard, well apart from the night you called me stupid,” I snarled and he pushed his back letting out a short laugh which got me more annoyed. What’s funny about him calling me stupid?“I never saw you as s
Hazel's POV The first thought that entered my mind was to pull away from the kiss; instead, I did the opposite. I tugged him closer and deepened the kiss like my life depended on it. My hands found their way to the back of his neck, claws digging in, moans escaping from our lips. Our tongues clash, neither wanting to back out. It was so intense that I rolled over on him. My legs clutched tightly to his waist, and his hands were on my waist, one free sneaking up to my bosom, and before things went too far, I backed out. My chest was heaving hard as I tried to steady my breathing. He tried to initiate another one, but I stopped him. “It’s late; let’s go back,” I muttered. I could see the frustration on his face after being cockblocked. I thought he would plead for us to enjoy this moment—heck, if he’d beg, I would have given in, but he didn't, which was quite relieving and also not. I stood up and adjusted my clothes. “Should we race back?” he asked, his brows shooting up.If we had
