LOGINDOMINICK’s POV,I had forgotten an important file at the office and I needed it. I was trying to apply to another company outside the country—anything to relieve me of what was happening. I was not okay, I was not fine. The fact that I couldn’t be with the man I wanted was making me go crazy. It was better to leave, better to keep my fucking mental health in check.That’s why I came here tonight to pick it up. I didn’t want to come in the morning where I would have to come in contact with him. I wanted it to be fast and snappy.But the moment I pushed open the office door and stepped in—someone lunged at me in the darkness and in no time, I was pinned against the wall. I struggled hard but I could not shove the person off. He was a force to be reckoned with, one with immense power. As I struggled, he bashed my head against the wall and I let out a painful groan. As if that was not enough, I felt something sharp pierce the side of my stomach—the light immediately flickered on.It was
LUCIAN’s POV,As soon as I heard those words, my forehead creased into a much deeper frown. How the heck did they find out about Amira? This could only mean she told them. That bitch. I warned her several times but she wouldn’t listen.I clenched my jaw together and closed my eyes. I was about to lose my fucking shit and everyone would suffer for it.“What should we do, Alpha?” He asked from the other end of the line, “the elders won’t let you rest now that they have found out. I think we should—He was still talking when I ended the call and heaved a sigh.“Trouble in paradise?” The bartender asked as he handed me another glass of whiskey again, “you look like you have a whole lot on your mind”I smiled but didn’t say anything. I just picked up the glass and drank the entire content in one swift swig.My mind wandered off to Dominick again. I couldn’t help but wonder what he was doing. I badly wanted to be by his side but the more I kept exposing him to the world, the more scared I g
LUCIAN’s POV.I was the one who told him to stay away but I couldn’t stay away. I knew I was putting him in danger by doing this but this was the only way I knew he was fine.Knowing that he had an attack because of me unsettled me and I wanted him to be fine without any cares in the world.He has asked me a million times to drop him but I didn’t listen. It wasn’t until I entered his room that I dropped him on the bed and my huge frame towered above him.“What do you think you are doing?” Dominick asked, anger evident in his voice, “what the heck are you even doing here?”“The nurse will be here for as long as you need her” I told him, “and your doctor will be coming for routine check ups to make sure you are fine”“And who are you to make such decisions for me?”“I already paid,” I shrugged, “ I don’t have an issue if you want to waste the money but it’s for your own good. Make sure you pick up your phone when I call, Dimples” I added and turned to leave but his words stopped me.“Ar
DOMINICK’s POV.I had just got out of bed when the door pushed open and my sister sauntered in. She had a sore expression on her face. I was the one on the hospital bed and she looked like she was the one in pain.“What’s up?” I asked as she perched on the space beside me, “why do you look so glum?”“It’s nothing” she shrugged but I knew she was lying. I was way older than her and I knew exactly when something was wrong with her. Marie tried to hide it but I could see it in her eyes.“How did your interview go?”I remember when she told me about it last week. She sounded so excited that the company reached out to her. She had always had a knack for fashion and venturing into that was going to make her happy.“I didn’t get the job,” she answered with another shrug, “but it’s okay. It’s a shitty company, anyways”“What’s going on, Marie?” Now I was really worried.“Can we drop that?” She rolled her eyes to the back of her head, “I didn’t get the job and that’s fine. I will look for anot
AMIRA’s POV.That wasn’t supposed to come out. It was supposed to be a secret that I would take to the grave. I found out about his sexuality a long time ago but I kept it to myself. I didn’t want him to know and I wanted to use that as leverage but right now—I just blurted it like a fool.I clenched my jaw as Lucian turned towards me, his eyes bloodshot and his face expressionless.“What did you say?” He asked. His voice cold and lethal, his gaze piercing. He looked like he was about to pounce on me but he didn’t. He only kept looking, waiting and watching like he wanted me to make a mistake.“Did you do an investigation on me?” He asked again.“I didn’t”I shook my head in the negative, “I shouldn’t have said that”Not like he could kill me now but a call from him would end me. A call from him would ruin everything I have worked hard for day to do. A call from the almighty Lucian would make my life a living hell. Everything I was doing was from a place of pure hope. Lucian was the a
LUCIAN’s POV.Before I could kiss him again, I had to leave. I was about to break every single one of my rules for him but it was bad. It was bad for the both of us and for him especially. Finding out he was my mate had already done a lot to me. I couldn’t bear to see him in more pain again.After entering my car, I called a security company to have them send some guards over before zooming off. But my attention was drawn to the billboard in front of me. My picture and Amira’s were on it.My forehead creased into a deep frown as I read the write up. What the heck did she think she was doing?I picked up my phone again and dialed Lamita’s number, and she answered immediately.“My pictures are all over the billboard” I told her, “bring them down”“On it, sir”As I ended the call, my blood boiled. I was thinking of ways to curb what was happening and she dared to make an announcement for our wedding?My jaw clenched tight and I balled my hands into a fist.“Make a U-turn” I told my drive
DOMINICK’s POV.With a little grunt, I pulled myself off the bed but at that moment the door opened and Louisa walked in, a huge grin on her face.She was back after what happened yesterday. It was like she didn’t even want to accept the fact that we were done and over with. Seeing her now annoyed
LUCIAN’s POV.I walked into the large hall, and everyone stood up. Naturally, I do not come to these meetings but today I needed something to take my mind off Dominick and his shenanigans. I usually let Sebastian handle things like this because as it stands, almost everyone in the pack is scared of
DOMINICK’s POV.As soon as Lucian walked out of the room, I slumped back on the bed and closed my eyes. What the heck was I thinking when I asked him to kiss me? I was carried away by the moment and how I almost wanted to believe that but—he told she was not anything to him but she comes back and c
LUCIAN’s POV.Dominick asking me to kiss him was wild. He meant it because he was still staring deep into my eyes, waiting and hoping. I had told him everything I represented and he didn’t look like he was scared of that, he was accepting me.I should be happy and pull him into my arms, kiss the he
