Chapter 3

LUCIA~

My heart thumped fearfully in my chest as rows of maids bowed before her and rows of them came after me as soon as the car that was sent to pick me stopped in front of the gigantic building.

Before leaving, Jenny cried as if there was no tomorrow. If I was to act based on her demands, then I won't leave today.

But for the sake of revenge... Teja's death, I need to sever the cursed bond that binds me to my sister's killer, I pacified Jenny. "I'll be back soon. Just give me a month"

After the old lady left, they sent me this expensive wedding dress and sent the biggest make-up artists in the pack to dress me up.

Now, I'm standing before his home.... 'Teja. Just a step closer to avenging you' I thought, before taking a ginger step and entering the building.

In terms of wealth and opulence, this house could be graded as an all rounder. I believed he was rich, but this is way out of my imagination.

The floor was marble and crystal. Looking up, the expensive chandeliers glowed silver, adding allure to the already white walls.

My inner bravado was shaken for a while, just by looking at this house. 'Will I be able to do this?' I wondered, but my wolf reassured me.

When we got to a crossroads, that straight-up leads to the living room and the door on the left led to stairs and the right led to the elevator.

"My lady, use the stairs and wait in the first room by your door. The Alpha will join you soon." The usher told me with a bow.

I heaved a long sigh. Faced the left and hesitated for a while before climbing the stairs steeply. Anyhow it's going to be.... 'You have to be strong, Lucia. Teja is waiting'

If the hallway that I passed was wealth and opulence, then this room was heaven. I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my lips immediately I opened the door to see the king-sized bed. Its headboard was adorned with tiny shiny particles that shone brightly.

Looking to my left was a long couch that was inviting me to sit, but I hesitated. I didn't come here to ogle at the house. I came here to murder!

Still standing in the middle of the room in the heavy wedding dress, the door was knocked open with a loud thud and through the dim purple and red lights, I saw the shadow of the mate that took my virginity.

The mate bond appeared at this moment. He was completely in the room, but I couldn't see his face that clearly.

He stopped just some steps away from me. My heart thumps harder against my ribs.

"Mate?" His voice echoed throughout the room and it brought goosebumps to my body.

I gulped hard. 'Damnit, Lucia is this the time to ogle!' I growled and I bowed my head in embarrassment.

How I wish I could control it but still.....

"You... You're here?"

He advanced toward me. The thump in my heart increased and when he got to the middle of the room, I got a good glance of his face.

"You left hurriedly yesterday. I didn't get to ask you what your name is and...."

"You found that out already, right?" I cut in. Trying to make sure my tone and body reaction doesn't deviate from the cause I'm fighting for.

He smiled. A smile that haunted my brain and body in a way that I wished it never did.

A smile that should have gladdened my heart because he was my mate but only scared me to the bone.

I really wanted to freak out, but I clenched my fists under the gown. 'Get it together, Lucia'

"Sorry that it came unexpectedly. But mum won't let me be. She wanted to meet you and all that. So I had my men research you and... You know. I got your picture from F******k."

Few steps until he was close enough to hug me, I lost my cool and fell onto the bed, scattering the rose that was used to design the bed.

Even though I fell, the tall figure came closer to me, I was completely engulfed in his shadow, and there was no way to escape.

With bated breath, I manage to mumble, "What... What are you doing?"

He climbed the bed and loomed over me like doom. "I'm sure you missed me just like I missed you. The mate bond is stronger than I thought."

Another lump formed in my throat. My body was reacting crazily to his actions and the plan was for me to use this opportunity to kill him, which I should.

Jenny had planted a pocket knife at the hem of my pant when I was dressing up, and to use it, I have to let him sleep with me.

"Of course, I missed you too...." I whispered. Talking as seductively as I could.

He bent over, kissed my cheeks slowly. The warm breath spread to my neck and I almost drowned in pleasure.

"Your scent...." He draws it in. "Why haven't I met you earlier, Lucia?"

I gulped hard. "Fate decided to play this trick on us... But now that we're married, we can have each other as much as we want."

He leaned in again and kissed my lips this time, deeply.

I slowly guided my hand to my hip, preparing to get this over with quickly.

I promised Jenny one month, perhaps a day would do.

I closed my eyes as he continued to kiss my lips sensually. Finally, my hand was on the cold weapon and I stopped there, to let him get immersed.

Soon, he got immersed indeed and ripped the wedding dress off and his tongue found my bossom.

I gasped at this sweet torture until I felt I couldn't do it anymore.

I started to pull out the dagger but he stopped at that dangerous moment!

My eyes opened in shock. "Why did you stop?"

He got off me immediately. Like something struck him or so.

I sat up, my tits still exposed. "Alpha?"

His eyes instantly glowed, his voice turned animalistic, "Who really are you?"

My chest dropped and I gasped. 'Did he catch up or something?' My wolf was also scared. 'His wolf is going mad'

No! This can't be. He can't catch me this easily? If he really does, then I'm done for! He's gonna kill me even before I get to take my revenge.

Still faking a smile, I jeered. "What are you saying? I'm Lucia. Your mate and...."

"Stop lying to me!" He growled and raised the gown at a wind speed. His hand found its way to my panties.

Then he pulled out the small leather piece where the dagger was kept so it won't hurt me.

I gasped. He got off me and raised the dagger. "You wanted to kill me with this?"
