Se connecterKaty POV I sat across Lucian as I watched him cut my steak into small bite sized pieces. He never ceases to amaze me honestly. I was getting frustrated waiting for him to call me while he was already at home making us dinner? What a pleasant surprise I have to say. After he finished slicing, he passes the plate to me. " Eat up!" He commanded, a smile on his face. I obeyed and took a bite. " Oh my gosh, this is delicious." I commented, looking at him. He should have been a chef not an Alpha. " So tell me, what else can you do? Because I thought you were an Alpha, a businessman who knows nothing about cooking." I teased, a playful smirk playing on my lips. " A good Alpha knows a little of everything." Lucian responded with a wink. " So you know how to cook, you know how to lead, you are rich and handsome. Anything else?" I asked. " I'm also yours." He responded, making me blush. I was expecting him to brag but instead he said that. That must mean he is feeling remorseful for
Katy POV I sat across Celeste who has been doing nothing but fidgeting with her cup of coffee. She has hardly taken three sips and now I am convinced something is going on." Are you going to finally tell me what's wrong or continue playing with your coffee?" I asked, a smile on my lips. It was rare to see Celeste this flustered. Actually, it's the safe to say this is the first time she is flustered in my presence.Celeste looks at me then looks away." I do want to tell you but I don't know how." She replied making me raise my eyebrows at her." Celeste," I called, taking her hand in mine. " You can tell me anything and I will listen." I encouraged her." Is this about Victor?" I pushed, curious if that little nudge will make her get the courage to speak up.Her eyes widened dramatically. " So,it is about him." I confirmed." How did you know?" She asked, looking like figuring that out needed a genius person." It's very obvious. Now tell me what's wrong or bothering you. I though
Nova pov "Now, let's go inside. It's getting cold."He helped me up and led me back into the warmth of the apartment. As we walked inside, my phone buzzed on the coffee table. I picked it up, my heart skipping a beat when I saw the caller ID.It was Ben." Hello?" I answered, my voice a little shaky." Nova, it's Ben. I hope I'm not disturbing you." He said, his voice sounding tired." No, not at all. Is everything alright?" I asked, my concern for him and the pack rising." Things are... settling down." He said. "Margaret's loyalists have been dealt with. The pack is in a state of... shock, but they're healing. And the Alpha... he's getting stronger every day." He revealed. A sigh of relief escaped my ears hearing that. I had been worried about him but since we had no relationship before despite being Darvis' father, I couldn't bring myself to reach out. " That's great news, Ben." I said, and I meant it." There's something else," he continued. "The Alpha... he wants to see you.
Nova POV It's been a week since we took down Margaret and saved the old Alpha. My wound has recovered and I am back to the city. With Margaret gone, the threat on Aria's life was gone too so my mom brought her back. Now, I can finally have a peaceful life with my daughter and husband.Well, he is not yet my husband because he hasn't married me and we haven't completed my mating bond but yes, he proposed.It was the the grandest proposal. I was injured and in a hospital bed when he popped the question. I said yes because I never needed anything fancy, just a man who loves me and my daughter. Elias has been that to us.Now, we are back to our normal life except that I am not allowed to go to work yet. According to my boss who also happens to be my friend, I am supposed to stay at home and recover.After a week of staying in bed, I feel bored already and want to do something with my life. No one will allow it so I have come to make peace with it.The door to my room is pushed open and
NovaWhen I opened my eyes, what greeted me was white walls and a strong smell of antiseptic. I inhaled, only for a sharp pain to cut through my shoulder. Then memories of what transpired last flooded my mind. I remembered Margaret firing that shot and me pushing Elias away and... Pain, followed by Elias calling my name frantically. I turned my head with so much difficult. I was greeted by a sleeping face that was still wearing frowns. My fingers lifted to trace his face and that touch seemed to have awakened Elias. His eyes fluttered open and once he registered that I was awake, he sat up quickly. " You are awake?" He asked, concern filled in every inch of his face." I should be the one asking you that. Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" I asked, trying to sit up but the pain forced me back down." Stay put Nova." Elias warned, pressing me down gently." And no, I didn't get hurt but you did." He added. " You were shot. The bullet went through your shoulder but it didn't hit an
Nova POV "What do you mean he's gone?" Margaret's shriek echoed through the room, a high-pitched wail of fury and disbelief. "Gone? How can he be gone? He was locked in that room! He couldn't even walk!"She listened for a moment, her knuckles white as she gripped the phone, her painted nails digging into the plastic." I don't care if you have to burn down the whole estate! Find him! Find him now!" she screamed, before slamming the phone down on the table with enough force to make the polished wood crack.She then turned her burning gaze on me and Ben." You," she hissed, her face contorted with rage, her features twisted into something monstrous. "You did this! This was a trap!" She said, looking between Ben and I.Ben snorted." What does the incompetence of your men have to do with us? We have been here with you all this time so what trap are you talking about?" He asked calmly." Shut up!" Margaret snarled, her eyes wild. She took a step towards me, her hand raised as if to stri
Katy POVToday was Jerald and Celeste's wedding and I was attending. It wasn't to honor my parents demand to be there but because I wanted to remind myself that love was a big scam. The man I loved for years, my mate, was marrying someone else while I was stuck in a contract marriage that was beg
Katy POV"Because you're my wife. Taking care of what's mine is what I do."The words settled over me warmly and dangerously. Lucian called me his Wife. Not a contract wife, not a business arrangement.Just... wife.Did that mean… ? Or was I just overthinking? I watched as he continued washing me
My breath caught as Lucian pushed his jeans and boxers down in one motion, and… "Oh my God," I breathed. He was magnificent. Long, thick, and already straining toward me. I'd felt him through his clothes, but seeing him like this…completely bare, completely aroused, completely mine…made my mouth
Lucian's POVI woke to sunlight streaming through the windows and the warm weight of Katy curled against my chest.For a moment, I just lay there, not moving and barely breathing.I was afraid that if I did, this perfect moment would shatter like glass.Her head was tucked under my chin, one hand r
