LOGIN♡☆ALPHA LUCA♡☆Not a chance. I couldn't think of any chance that Candace could be directly or indirectly connected to the rogues, to Morgè Carver. Marcus needed to make sense of this. "It's been a long day," I spoke calmly, trying to douse the rage ravenously burning within me, "We have a banquet to attend—" "And rogues to ward off our territory." Marcus intercepted me, "My apologies, Alpha, but it's my duty as the beta of Duskmoon to put the safety of the pack members first." Marcus's gaze drifted to Candace's pale face, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. She shifted a little beside me, a subtle gesture that revealed how much she needed me to protect her right now. Then Marcus looked back at me. "Until investigations mark her clean, I'm afraid everyone's a suspect." Marcus had a point. Everyone was a suspect but nothing could make me raise brows in Candace's direction. Look at her, so clueless about Pack politics. So true at heart to want to aid a man as barbaric and as
♡☆CANDACE♡☆Fifteen minutes. That's all I gave myself to run a quick shower, raid his closet for something comfortable to wear and I was out of here.Fuck, my fingers were trembling. I was trembling with the blissful sensation from the thoughts of having sex again with Luca. The first time blew my mind and left me sore, aching, and craving for days. Finally.Truly, the goddess did work in marvellous ways. In less than ten minutes I left the shower with his thick towel wrapped around my chest, scurrying to his vast closet to find something. No surprise, there was a lot of stuff, luxury stuff in there and all I needed was a shirt. Just a shirt. Voila. I found one, a crew neck shirt which dropped down almost to my knees. My hair still secured from the hairdo I received earlier, but the layers of makeup had washed away down his drains, leaving my face white and fresh.It didn't matter if I walked around the entire mansion in Luca's clothes. It didn't matter to me anymore if anyone rai
♡☆ALPHA LUCA♡☆"The radar is beeping. Morgè is here. Somewhere in the crowd." Marcus informed me when I returned to my seat after my closing speech. Instinctively, my eyes went straight to where Candace's petite frame had been. The seat was vacant and so was Rex's seat. It wasn't until Rex confirmed they were on their way back to my mansion that I was able to breathe adequately. "We find him. As subtle as possible without disrupting the rituals." I responded with my wolf already heightening his senses, my vision blurring out so my wolf's sight scanned the arena. Any rogue in our midst would be spotted. If the radar responded, then Morgè wasn't undercover and he was here for a reason. Vivienne?I'd failed to protect her once. If she'd returned, trusting me again to protect her from the Rogue King, then it'd be such a betrayal of trust if I let him capture her the second time. "Escort Vivienne Fisher to my car, I want her safely inside and notify the priest to cut the rituals sho
♡☆CANDACE♡☆"Do you by any chance have access to pack prison files?" I leaned in and asked Rex when he retired to his seat beside me after the Alpha's grand entry. Truly, Vivianne wasn't a part of the procession on the red carpet, neither did she sit on the Alpha's left. That made quite a statement. The kind of statement that brightened my mood and revived hope anew that Luca could still be mine. "Why would you ask me that?" Rex's question brought my mind back to the thought that had lived with me from the second Baldwin informed me about the possibility of having a family. My mom's family, who cared deeply about me. "Just thought I could find someone. Lowkey." Rex looked at me like I'd just asked him to slip something in his Alpha's drink. Relax, this wasn't a betrayal scheme. "Prison files are top secret. I wish. You know that I can't share sensitive information." Disappointment made me flush. I'd expected a negative response from him though, but it was worth asking. "Please
♡☆ALPHA LUCA♡☆"Beta Marcus is right. You should ride with your wife." Candace went instantly silent with a scowl on her pretty face when I shot her a glare. Her chin tugged up at a stubborn angle.Wild cat. Said a lot to me earlier. Obviously had a lot more things to say to me and I couldn't wait to hear it. All of it. Arriving at the ceremony with Vivianne beside me certainly was going to make a statement. Pack politics or not, I didn't like what it would state. Didn't want to lead the people on with things I knew without doubt weren't meant to be. To distract myself from my thoughts, mostly from the ceremony and the VIP guests in my territory, I chose to shift my thoughts to the only peace my heart bled for. My thumb delicately stroked the sole of her foot propped up against my knee while I'd taken her heels off. Her toes curled, she fought a giggle because she'd rather stay mad at me. Pulling her leg back down she shifted just a little bit from me. "I don't understand why you
♡☆CANDACE♡☆Vivianne Fisher had an entire wardrobe prepared for me in advance. How convenient. After storming out of Luca's office, Vivianne had nicely offered me a change of outfit and had led me into her private glam room which surprisingly had been set to standard in just a few days. It said a lot about how much perfect glam meant to her. To Luca.A perfectly set trap. Exactly what anyone would call this little charade with Vivianne. How else would anyone explain Vivianne knowing firsthand I'd need a change of outfit? She'd surprisingly become so nice. What changed?After a complete makeover, I looked so breathtaking in a crystal dress that made my boobs appear twice as big as they initially were, and my waist snatched. The dress accentuated my body like it was custom-made just for me. But none of the compliments and small talk from the glam squad mattered to me. Memories of Luca and this woman seated in an armchair beside me with her glam squad working magic on her, bothered me
♡☆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
