Masuk♡♡CATHY♡♡"Disgusting," Lucretia spat for the third time during lunch, "I always knew that good-for-nothing girl was just as shameless and slutty as her mother." Okay, that was it. I had enough of it all afternoon. I pushed aside my bowl of mandarin crunch salad, and shot her a stern and dismissive look. "There's no point in slut-shaming Candace. She's an adult and chooses to fall in love with another adult. What seems to be the problem?" Lucretia stared at me with her mouth gaping, her eyes frozen like I'd just revealed I was donating my lungs. I'd never defended Candace whenever she spoke ill of my stepsister which was why, defending Candace for the first time felt like a slap to my mother's face. Then her gaze flew to the hall from which Vivianne had excused herself to use the restroom. She'd joined us for lunch hat noon, stating it was hard to be betrayed, heartbroken, and all alone. Damien had gone off to spend time with his friends. She couldn't stand being alone. And by tw
●♣︎BETA MARCUS●♣︎"I need everything you can gather about Candace Baldwin's wolf," I muttered when the meeting was about to end, "There's a reason why Luca's claimed her." At first, I hadn't paid much attention to their involvement, to me, back then, it was just a fling—Luca finding a tight little cunt to cool off after the heat of the operations. Now, there was so much more. So much that I refused to be swept off by surprise. "She applied to be a healer," Ron, my walking information box, slipped a file onto the desk before me, "Until she takes part in this training with series of tests run on her wolf, we can't jump into conclusions just yet." Healer wolf. Hmm. Interesting. Meredith had an impressive healing ability, tried to be funny and met her doom. Quite unfortunate, her girl was threading that same path to her doom. I lit another cigar, and glanced at Vivianne. She was quiet, so quiet that it made me uneasy. She used to dominate these meetings with ideas but today, somet
♡☆ALPHA LUCA♡☆"Run some more tests, I need to know exactly the type of wolfsbane." I commanded Dr. Dennison. The kind older lady nodded with a warm and affectionate smile, gazing at Candace with a glint of fondness in her eyes. "She's grown so big. She looks exactly like Meredith. Look at those lovely eyes." "You knew my mom?" Candace asked with expectancy in her tone. I left the two women to chat while I stepped out of the building to make a call. I needed to drive Candace back to her apartment first before my meeting.Something vile was going on in Duskmoon. Sadly, I didn't know who to trust. "Let me guess, you have work to do?" Candace asked when we'd left the clinic and I finally parked outside her apartment, "I want to help you. Can you hire me again?" No. Not a chance.I needed her a million miles away from the danger closing in. Morgè had his ways. His spies doubled by the day, his activities grew complicated by the minute. I could go through it all knowing my mate was
●♣︎BETA MARCUS●♣︎"Are the girls ready for tonight?" I puffed on my cigar, moving around the dark basement to inspect the trembling girls, all in the same off-white dresses, their hair styled the same way, all blindfolded and terrified before me.""Yes, boss." Great. Gags in their mouths just to make sure none of them brewed the thought of screaming. Not like anyone could hear them even though they screamed their lungs out. We were miles away from the bustling city, somewhere lost on the outskirt of Duskmoon, a thousand miles away from the sharp senses of their Alpha. Luca was so fucking distracted. Goddess. Acting heedless like a teenage boy in love. There were lapses. A lot was going on right under his nose, but he was so far up an omega's fat ass to want to see what was really going on around his territory. All it took was Candace's fat tits and that provocatively wiggling ass to reset Luca's priorities. It felt almost as if the goddess gave us the perfect distraction we'd
♡☆CANDACE♡☆I'd been fine. A few minutes ago, I felt so damn fine except for the discomfort on my neck where Luca had marked me. The pain was a real thing and I'd been waiting to heal. The fever now burning up inside me hadn't been there. I never realized it until Luca had squinted his eyes, felt my forehead, and had acted like I was coming down with something.And it grew worse as I soaked in the hot tub. I suddenly felt so cold with a throbbing headache, and my heartbeat increased rapidly. Like I'd caught a bug or something. I'd imagined that it was just my nervous system trying to recover from everything that had happened in the last hour. The yellings, accusations, and threats. But when the whole world swirled after I bathed and tried to return to the bedroom, and crashed hopelessly to the floor, I knew something was wrong with me. Luca bolted right into the room, gently lifted me off the floor—bridal style—cradling me in his arms like I was something fragile. He brought me
♡☆ALPHA LUCA♡☆"Your mate?" Marcus recovered first from the shock, even more quickly than it took Damien to process the thought and settle with the revelation. "That's not true." Damien scoffed, eyes drifting from my face, above my shoulders to where Candace stood with smug chin, "You're both making shit up to try to cover up your shamelessness." "There's no shame in being with my mate," she sprang forth before I could stop her. "A mate that actually wants me. Why would I be ashamed of finally finding someone that wants me? I'm ashamed that I actually wanted you for so long. I disrespected myself because of that but you never wanted me." "I've always wanted you. But you'd never made any attempts to be anything more than...than pathetic—" "I am your mate, Luca." Vivianne's face suddenly went white with fear, all the rage and resentment left her, "We're fated, she...she possibly can't be your mate. That's not possible." "This is not the way I intended to let everyone in on this bo
♡☆CANDACE♡☆Sexy as fuck. Nah, this wasn't me. There was no fucking way the girl staring back in the full-length mirror was me, the ostracized omega girl they loved to walk all over. The very plain and "unattractive" runt. I looked unreal after the complete makeover the glam team gave me. My pa
♡☆CANDACE♡☆The second I stepped into the sinful excuse of a store, my knees turned to jelly like my body already recognized what it was walking into. Heat crept up my face and ears leaving them rosy. If humiliation could kill, I'd be a wet stain on the black obsidian floor.And damn me. My wolf c
♡☆ ALPHA LUCA ♡☆"I'll hate to stick out tonight like a sore thumb. I'm not sure if I can be the perfect escort for this dinner." Candace pouted at lunch. Taking a large bite of her beignet with powdered sugar all over her flustered face. "Why can't you?" I asked, my interest partly on my black co
♡☆CANDACE♡☆The next morning was pretty sunny, yet nothing about my mood appeared sunny.My nerves were still jittery from last night, from the weight of Luca's intense gaze. From the plaguing memory of his glistening cock in the red aesthetic lights. Also from the way he'd caught me touching mysel
