Chapter Seventeen

Lucien's POV

My encounter with Zane, although painful was a needed event. There were words that were better said out, especially between brothers.

I tried asking Brielle but she wouldn't let me close. Zane was everywhere around her like a dome. I knew something was up, it all began since I found out she was pregnant. I could feel her anxiety in my chest, it crushed me every moment of the day.

I headed to my study after picking up some files, I bumped into Zane by the stairs on my way down.

"Why are you everywhere?" Zane asked with a fierce tone.

"Can't you like make yourself scarce?"

"I rule one of the independent civilizations of werewolves, I can't be scarce," I shot back with a confused expression.

"You are the beta of the pack, or have you forgotten your responsibility?"

"I can't hear you brother!" He responded loudly as he walked away from me.

"I'm too busy preparing to be a dad. I think you are handling it perfectly,"

I scoffed lightly, ignoring his words and headed to my study. When I touched the knob, I felt a warmth by the door. I could smell the person's flowery fragrance and I knew exactly who it was.

"The last time I heard from you, you were in Avenue Town. What brings you back to the Estate? Don't like that part of town?"

"Maybe I missed you," Angelina replied with her causal flirty tone as she walked up to me and gave me a hug. Her hug extended slightly as she gently caressed my neck and ran her hand through my hair. For a split second, Trivia's face reflected in my mind.

"I really did miss you,"

"What is there to miss Angelina?" I used the question to make my way past her to my desk.

"I have rarely had time for myself,"

"Notice anything different?" She presented herself in a pose.

"Take a look at tell me you notice the change I made,"

I took one glance and I realized why she triggered Trivia's memory, she had looked more like her.

"You cut your hair. Why?" I asked with a calm tone, hiding how creeped out I was.

"I miss my sister. So I thought keeping my hair short like her would help me better," She muttered, leaning slightly closer, close enough to display her cleavages to my face.

I took a step back and that was when I realized that even the dress was Trivia's.

"Angelina," I chuckled softly, masking the awkwardness of the moment.

"What are you doing?"

"What? I missed you and I needed to see you,"

"No!" I exclaimed, trying to keep my mind calm.

"What are you doing? why the hair and the dress?"

"I know you miss her too," She replied, her voice carrying the sad expression that was reflected on her face.

"I do and I just want to feel like her for one day with you. I heard about your mate's news with Zane, and I think it's a good thing,"

"Really?"

"The world had moved on, Lucien. Why are you still holding back?" She asked with a stern look.

"I look exactly like her but you never looked my way. Since our time in college, you never once looked my way. I introduced you to Trivia, but you fell for her,"

"She was my mate," I spoke with a cold look, the discussion was getting on my nerves.

"Yes, you both looked the same but she was unique in my eyes and you are also. You have been a friend, don't ruin it,"

"A friend?" She laughed lightly,

"Will a friend be willing to do this,"

She pulled the rope of the dress and the whole outfit fell off. I realized that she was only wearing a bra underneath. Her nude stood before me and I stared unfazed. My mind, heart and soul were somewhere else, someone else.

"Isn't this like hers?"

"Do you have..." I paused as I watched her take off her bra.

"I want you to see all of me," She muttered as she drew closer to me. Her hand ran through my hair to my neck, feeling my skin as it went down to my chest.

Her motion was accompanied with soft whispers, "You don't have to see me as Angelina, I can be Trivia. I can be who you want, who you deserve,"

For a second, I did as she suggested and my heart raced uncontrollably. I could feel it thumping hard against my chest like a drum. My body became overwhelmed with the same excitement I felt with Trivia and then Brielle, the rush that noone else can match. It's a feeling that felt like I was constantly at my apex point, bringing out the primal urges.

"Enough!" I grabbed her hand furiously, causing her to let out a soft gasp, almost like she enjoyed it.

"Dont lay your hand on me again," I added softly as I squeezed her hands a little tighter to show force.

"Is that how you want to play?" She muttered with a steamy smile. She reached into my pants and pulled out my hard cock. She rubbed it against her slimy vagina, the steamy feeling made me engrossed for a moment.

I grabbed and pulled her in firmly, her legs quickly coiled around me as she kissed my neck in the process. It almost felt right, the nostalgic feeling was killing me, my mind felt at peace imagining that it was Trivia. With Trivia it was less complicated, with Trivia, my mid wasn't swamped and confused like Brielle.

"I want you daddy," She moaned as she gently went down on me, I held her in place as I felt the tip go in.

Staring at Angelina pleasured gaze, my mind flashed with Trivia's face, her smile.

"Can't," I placed Angelina on the sofa.

"I can't do that to her,"

She was shocked by what happened, she laid naked on the sofa as I placed my cock back into my pants.

"Okay then," She muttered as she received her dress that I stretched out to her.

"Get dressed. We don't speak of this to anyone,"

"Alright," She replied.

"You look troubled when you walked in. If you don't want me in that way, maybe I can be of other help to you."

"How?" I asked curiously.

"Tell me what you need help," She replied.

If anyone knew how to get answers, it was Angelina. And I needed answers from Brielle desperately.
