Masuk♡☆CANDACE♡☆"You don't have to answer." I shrugged when he didn't give me any reasons to push things. I was already fine with him just being here. And besides, I had a lot more things to ask him to want to dwell on a subject that didn't serve us both. A subject I already knew the answer to. So I finally voiced my thoughts. "Baldwin is really insistent on me marrying Damien, that is, if I don't get arrested for… you know—" "No one's arresting you." Okay, so the cat didn't cut his tongue. Splendid. "That's why I'm actually considering..." I trailed off to find the right words to use. Ehen I couldn't find any, I went with, "Let's not continue sneaking around anymore." I can swear his brows shot up incredulously, like he wasn't expecting me to end this myself. But then it was the right thing to do. He had a family to be responsible for. The pack needed him and of course, my family—well, dad needed me to marry Damien—everyone would be happier if I didn't put myself first. He went
♡☆CANDACE♡☆The big bad boss stared at me with that hard jaw tightened like I'd just asked him to hand over his Alpha position. Of course he wouldn't beg on his knees. I got lucky once. He'd begged the first time because he wanted something. He'd been so fucking hard and aching that his pride had been the first thing to go. In the confines of his car with nobody but me, us together. A few hours from daylight. With danger far away. The memory of that thick veined cock, the way my palm had glided around his steely length, and the pleasure on his handsome face as he'd groaned in surrender. The way his big body had trembled, with absolute need. How his fingers had fisted my hair, not just to guide, but to hold on, like I was the only solid thing in a world that had suddenly shifted on its axis. Then, he'd been a king reduced to a mere worshipper at my sanctuary, and the power of it had been an aphrodisiac far more potent than any touch.That memory of that morning was a hot, real thing
♡☆CANDACE♡☆"Candace." My eyes snapped open at the sound of that familiar tone beckoning on me to unlock the car. My entire body froze behind the wheels. For one shocking moment, I forgot the simple task of breathing. The need to keep screaming deserted me as my eyes remained locked on the figure outside by my side of the window. Luca stood by the car, his broad chest rising and falling heavily as though he'd run all the way here, his gaze not on me but scanning the cemetery and behind him. And was that blood on his shirt?My heart tightened."Canny, unlock the door." He grunted when the car door refused to grant him access. "Go to hell!" I scowled, so loud so he could hear me outside the car.His gaze fell on me and he frantically tapped on the window again, "c'mon, open the door." "I said go away!" Another howl rumbled in the air, this time coming from the cemetery. His head snapped to scan the tall trees where another howl answered. My fingers began to tremble. It was a lot
♡☆CANDACE♡☆"Mom just texted, the pack's not safe. Let's just go home." Cathy implored with her eyes. "Home is where the people who love you are. There's no such thing as home for me." I unclasped my seatbelt, glanced at her buzzing phone. Lucretia was calling. Lucky her. "Believe it or not, I love you and I know mother's just mad, she cares about you." What the fuck did she know about Lucretia? Other than the kindness facade her mother wore whenever she was around but if she truly knew how rotten the Gamma female was on the inside, especially to me, then she wouldn't have spewed that nonsense she just did. "I don't love you. Any of you. I can't wait for karma to get to every one of you." Luca included. Everyone that'd hurt me in one way or another—when all I did was love them— I left them to the cold hands of karma. She reached for her Chanel purse and took out dollar bills and handed them to me, "Don't wander out of town. It's not safe." I snatched the money from her hand an
♡☆CANDACE♡☆ "You don't believe this scheme, do you? Alpha?" I'd never seen him look this conflicted. Well, he'd better make up his mind fast. Either he believed them. Or me. They carefully planned this out, put Ron in my life just to have evidence to back up their game. There really was a rat and they were trying to paint me as that rat who's feeding the rogues information. "Alpha," Rex looked away from his wristwatch and announced, "If you don't leave now, we might be late to open the banquet." See? Rex was trying to distract him, to have him end this so the detectives could have their way. "Luca, we don't have time. We need to come up with a strategy to catch Morgè tonight." Marcus started moving towards the door. The meeting was dismissed, "We can't make that strategy here." Luca barely looked my way, he gathered the files and handed them to Rex, "I want every piece of the investigations so far to be duly labeled and left on my desk. I'll take my time to go throug
♡☆CANDACE♡☆"Ron lies. I know nothing about any of his claims." When they said this would be a private interrogation, I'd imagined just the grim-faced detective and maybe a recorder. But having Baldwin, Marcus, Rex, and Jordin Adamson in the office, scanning every word I said in my defense made a mockery of it. I didn't know Ron on personal grounds and we'd talked twice, just for him to drag me into whatever mess he was trying to clean up. "If you're done with her, I'd love to dismiss her for the day." Luca strode into the office with Vivienne right behind him, "I have one more event to attend. I don't see the point in any of this." "I do." Marcus shifted in his seat and flailed his hand, Jordin Adamson handed him a file. "This file contains all the invoices, receipts of transactions, and records of money someone has been wiring to an anonymous account labeled 'XY account'..." He trailed off when Luca snatched the file from his hand. He waited until Luca flipped through the sheets
♡☆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
