Chapter 34.ALPHA LUCIEN’S POV. Pearl’s pulse raced against my thumb as I tightened my grip on her neck, her body jerking and arching deeper into my hand.This should have been my warning to pull back, to pull away from her, but my fingers grazed the wetness on her thighs… slick, hot, and clinging to my skin in ways that branded guilt deep into me.Her body jerked against the touch, breath catching, the sound feeding the fire that should have been extinguished. Oh! My silly little whore. She should pull away, she should help me quench this demon that was threatening to confuse me, but damn it! Her body was rather yearning for more.I dragged a finger closer to her heat, the scent spiked, raw and sweet, curling into the air and burning with every breath I took.“Unmmm…” The subconscious purr tore past my lips and I tilted my head sideways, claiming her mouth rougher until she had no breath left to exhale.Our pulses raced in rhythm, the wet sound of our kiss turning frantic and dirty
Chapter 33.PEARL’S POV.Alpha Lucien’s lips crashed into mine, warm, rough, and demanding in ways I never thought they would have been.My breath hitched against my throat and a startled gasp slipped past my lips, body arching, pussy dripping. This was my first kiss. This kiss with Alpha Lucien, warm, rough, and demanding, was my first kiss and I hate to say this. I hate to say this so damn much, but every fiber of my veins was crawling, coming alive with fulfilled expectations. His teeth nibbled against mine and my body tensed under the pleasure of his mouth.So this is it? This is what it feels like to have his lips against mine?For years, I had imagined this moment, wondering what it would feel like to have Alpha Lucien’s mouth against mine, sucking and claiming me with every suck. And now, at the least expected moment, it was happening. His lips were on me, kissing my lips and claiming me like he didn’t push me away all these years.Alpha Lucien’s hand came against the side of
Chapter 33.Pearl’s POV.The moment my lashes parted, my eyes met the blurry ceiling. At first glance, I knew instantly that this wasn’t my room.I glared at the familiar ceiling through the haze of my blurry eyes, needing no hint to know where I was.I was in the room that gave me comfort. I was on the bed that I often crawled to when the nightmares came invading my sleep.I was in Alpha Lucien’s room. The very one he had banned me from coming to the very year I turned 18.A scent curled against my nostrils, strong and masculine, too familiar to be second-guessed.“Pearl.” His deep voice echoed in my ear, tender but startling.I sat upright immediately, wrapping my arms around my body like it was my first time in his room.“Alpha Lucien…” I bowed quickly, not sparing him a glance. Perhaps because I was trying to avoid the memories from years back.Silence settled into the room, but I could still feel the weight of his piercing gaze on me.My heart pounded against my ear, my body betr
ALPHA LUCIEN’S POV. Chapter 32. I shouldn’t have carried her away like that in front of everyone. I shouldn’t have brought her to my room. I should have walked straight to her room, dropped her there, and disappeared, but how can I do any of that with her breath heavy and her body weak? How can I do any of that when she was still very much unconscious for the past three hours? I leaned against the window in my room, watching the pack doctor while he examined her.“Alpha Lucien.” He bowed, taking a step closer.My eyes darted in her direction, glaring at her for some seconds before returning my gaze to meet his.“How is she?” The concern at the edge of my calmed voice echoed louder than I had intended.“Her pulse is weak for now. But she will be better after much rest.”My eyes lingered on her body for seconds longer, then I let out a gentle nod.“Send the Beta in on your way out.”“Yes, Alpha.”I remained by the window, watching Pearl whose chest rose and fell gently.She looked sm
Chapter 31.Today was an official training day, and it took Vera and Imani some persuading to get me here.I had promised not to attend training again since my only reason was to see Alpha Lucien and get along with him.Now that we weren’t on good terms, quitting would have been the best, but Vera and Imani insisted that I keep training so that I can have the power to find my parents’ killer when I finally get my wolf, and… that was just a perfect way to get me in. I had relented on doing a few research about my parents' killer, and all that was the outcome of my lust for the Alpha. Today, trainees will fight together to show how much they have built physical strength, and my wolfless self had picked a low omega to spar with. I didn’t have much physical or supernatural power, so sparring with an omega was better.The training hall was full and all contestants were present.Alpha Lucien wasn’t around, and that somewhat felt like a relief. It's better not to have him here. At least, I
Chapter 30.The air in my throat vanished and my neck went dry.After one week, Alpha Lucien was standing at my doorstep, draped in sins and ruin.His clothes clung to his body and… damn it! He looked hotter than any man was ever permitted to look in a black shirt with rolled-up sleeves.My eyes traveled across his body, dropping on his fingers. Oh… those adroit fingers that had worked my pussy before his words shattered my heart.My body tingled at the memory. I should be angry. After all this week of trying to hate him, I should be angry, but my pussy was reacting to his last act. The act of ruins. I raised my gaze to meet his, finally affording eye contact with him for the first time since the door opened.I pushed the lumps in my throat down, a flicker of nervousness flying across my body like tiny sparkles.He was so tall, and huge… and broad and lethal in ways I should have given up on. But damn my body for being so shameless. “Alpha Lucien…”His hand wrapped around my throat
