"Tell me." He insisted."I'm sorry, I think I'll be less of a trouble for you," I said and his face turned into a frown, but I veered around without saying more than an apology.Leaving Andrea, I went to Collins, stunningly I saw the old woman observing us from the angle where she leaned back to the walls."Let's go," I said to him, and as expected his face rolled into a frown, it was sudden on him."Where are we going?" He asked and I stood looking at him, he ought to know beforehand and I was so selfish to think of only myself, maybe the critics were getting to my bones. "Home, we're going home," I replied to him, and he let go of his hand from the still before him, standing solo on his own."I'm sorry but I can't follow you?" He spiked.I screamed out in frustration and Collins, surprised by my outburst, clearly hadn't expected me to react sensitively, not ever, this place might have had an influx on me."Why? Do you think they'll ever accept you? No, they won't. It's either they
In the silence, the calm grew and the fear walked away yet my lips quivered, the alchemist had no relatives whatsoever, I could faintly see through the flickering lights."Lucia," he called out, removing him from his grip on my torso. I waited for a very long time to take in the voice before mouth my mouth into a D–"Dad… what are you doing here?" I asked surprised rubbing my two thumbs to my eyes, to be sure I wasn't hallucinating, I checked again he was leaning towards the wood.Like a spike, I started to speak without a single composure. "I didn't know she was going to die, I did hit her, but she stuck the knife through her heart," I trembled, even though I didn't miss him I owe him this much, an explanation, the truth they might have skipped."Fine, you ran Lucia, you should have come clean if your claim is valid." He said running his hands through his hair, which was stacked together."And what would have become of me, would you have saved me? I was scared.""She's dead, and ever
"Andrea, what are you doing here?""I'm used to hearing that from you often, I'll repeat myself. Is this how to thank your lifesaver?" He said."I didn't…" He cut me off."Did he touch you? are you okay? I was worried." Apart from the scratch on my ankle, I was fine. I glance up at his pale profile, the sharp jaw, the emerald eyes."You need to rest, you're safe with me, so don't worry." Except for his bitch Luna to be, I always feel secure around him, but now I feel distant."You shouldn't follow me, next time stay with your pack member." I slammed at him. "It's just us," he answered.I grilled at the little thrill that went through me at the word us and made myself clear, "there's no us." I didn't want to turn into a mistress like those historical books I've read, they always end up being the villain, Out there I realized nothing lies beyond the walls of the crescent pack for me, I stared at him, I've never been this close to Andrea, it'll either be the fear of getting caught by s
Claire was already in the dining room, she sat at the end by herself eating her breakfast in silence. She didn't look up as we entered and Andrea went straight to the compartment. Claire's face wasn't pleasant at all and I did my best to ignore her as well.I went to Collins room and I hesitated then knocked softly, the noise quieted abruptly then after a moment I pushed the door open and peeked inside, Garrett was standing by the tiled terrace of the room, his face furious."Sorry," I said and began to back out the door.But Collins snapped," come in." When I entered and shut the door, Collins gazed at me amused."How are you, Lucia?" Garrett said, and I saw a glint on his face, he must probably be glad to see me and I snickered behind my hands."I'm fine," I managed. "My trainer obviously misses me." My lips curled into a sinister smile.Collins pulled me from the room to outside the house, "why do you look so down?" He asked.Collins has the sense to discover when I'm feeling down
"Lucia–" his voice snapped me out of my thought, "were you hearing me at all?"What was I supposed to say? I didn't hear him at all, he looked at me, his new hairstyle and in the dull moonlight that flared, he looked more handsome and more human than I've ever seen him."I guess I'm asking you to trust me." He said.I looked at him, but I couldn't do anything. If Andrea wanted me to trust him and be patient then I would simply have to do so."Okay." I said silently, "by the way if you want to enjoy your last few days as a bachelor, we should, I have an idea." He laughed again and I felt a pleased flush creep up my cheeks. Then his expression became serious. "It's like bondage." He said."I think so, my mother was never happy with him, somehow I felt they weren't mated." I vomited, I knew I wasn't supposed to be talking about this with him but I was nervous. "My mother was an omega, she always tells him I wished I never married you." I scoffed."In your presence? doesn't that hurt yo
Before Alpha Andrea my life was simple, I never really cared about love or mate bond whatsoever. What really mattered was my dream of living in Vienna, going to the beach and touching those white sea sands under my feet, living a free life far away from home. "This is an old book." She sighed, her age was already catching up with her obviously."It belonged to an old friend, can you help me decode it?" I inquired of her looking into her bewildered flickering eyes."Let me take a look," she said and I rolled it in her direction, she ruffled her hands through it, " it's the same." She breathed out.I was confused as I looked at her engrossed in what was in the book. "I heard you're a living amplifier," I breathed in, and she raised her head to look at me, I ran my hand through my hair, what was I saying? It was only hearsay.I pursed my lips and she hummed glaring and signalling I should continue, yeah right I had to even though it might sound crazy or direct."I uhhmm, need your help
I flushed my pale skin heating to an awkward temperature, I wasn't sure what was happening but somewhere deep inside me, I felt his hands caressing me softly. Leaving myself no time to hesitate I stood before him and reached towards his face, as though time had slowed as I watched him as he pulled me deep into his chest, my face fell on his jaw a giggle escaped my mouth as his stubble tickled my skin. I let my lip linger on his face for a while and enjoyed the way his hands wriggle on my waist.Andrea acted like he was in heat, but I never minded any of that, he dungs his hands into my shoulder afterwards as he bends in more, our breath hastened and I snapped out of his grasp."enough!" I muttered. "You're extremely affectionate today Lucia, is it because–" I cut in."Impeccable, see you later, '' I said, walking fast, and a smile crept on my face, what did I just say?As much as I wanted to be with my mate, this was the last place for any fornication to happen between the both of us
"Collins!" I called out at him.And he walked his legs towards me, fazed by the sudden outpour."What happened, Lucia?" He was confused."Don't tell me, you had hidden the truth from me all this while.""What's going on?" He asked and I pressed my lip tight, but somehow he seemed amused? I wasn't sure, his expression was too tricky for me to find out."The fact that someone had to tell me Dad attacked your family, and that's why you're here! Must you hide such a secret from me?" I explained and he narrowed his eyes looking down, unable to face me, he might probably be thinking about how he found out. Looking at his eyes I felt silence for a moment before he nodded an answer. "It's true, and–" he wanted to say. "That's why you never wanted to come with me? You should have at least told me you hated me for that." I said and his dark brown eyes assessed me."I don't hate you, Lucia, I wanted to be here and Fiona gave me reasons to find a home here." He said, stepping closer to me."Yes
