“DOES this mean that Luther could be dead as we speak?” Clay asked. “That’s too bad. It will be hard to find another tool that we could use for the plan.”I could feel my eyes changing color. Clay’s eyes widened upon meeting mine. There was wonder and fear in his eyes. His body quaked. My fingernails dug in his shoulders when I grabbed him. Every word that came out of his mouth made my blood simmer. He was saying he felt bad and yet, he looked relieved.My voice resounded in the entire house when I spoke, “Luther is not just a tool! He is not just any other human! He is my husband! And he is my mate! He has the same mark as me! I saw it! Talk to him that way one more time and I will not hesitate to pluck your tongue and teeth and to turn you into a useless wolf, do you understand?”“I-I do. I’m sorry, Alexandra,” Clay said.When I chucked him on the wall, he unexpectedly shifted in his wolf form and whimpered.I’ve had enough for today. My parents looked too stunned to speak. But this
AND HE stood still, waiting for my every word when he should be rushing to rest or to get treated. How come that my own pack always seem to struggle listening to my own voice when this human had no problem hearing it? He just kept seeing me for who I was.In his eyes, I could see my flawed self clearly. But I found acceptance with the way he looked at me. I found beauty in things that others would normally regard as ugly or scary.“Go on, darling. What do you want to tell me?”I cleared my throat. And gradually, I could feel my eyes changing back to normal. “You know I was with my pack, with my friends, with people I call home, and I still thought I should be somewhere else. That I should be with you.”His eyes widened.“You won, Luther. This doesn’t make sense even to me but I can’t deny this any longer. I have fallen in love with you,” I said and held his cheeks.So, this was what it meant to fall in love. It stresses you out. It makes your heart leap out of your chest from worry. I
(Alexandra)“DRIVE as fast as you can, Carlos. If we reach our destination in less than thirty minutes, I will give you a bonus,” Luther commanded the driver before he pulled me inside the backseat of his Mercedes Benz. We were supposed to ride Isaac’s car, but Carlos came rushing with Luther’s own car. So, Isaac and three more guards would follow us in another car until we get home.“Why didn’t you bring guards earlier? This wouldn’t have happened if you had brought them with you,” I told Luther as he sat beside me.“Today was the first time I met with your pack as your husband. I didn’t want them to think that I was afraid of them. I didn’t want them to be uncomfortable, too. I was already enough to cause them extreme distress.”I sighed. “Next time, wherever you go, whether it’s in the woods or not, you have to remember to bring your guards with you, Luther. By the way, did you see the person who tried to kill you?”Instead of answering, Luther took his bandage off. I gasped. “What
WHEN we reached our bedroom, Luther kicked the door closed and laid me down on the bed. I can see it in his eyes. Tonight, we were two hungry monsters. One will devour and one will be devoured. That was the promise written in his eyes.And I looked forward to it. Very much.“Spread your legs more for me, darling,” Luther commanded softly as he unzipped his pants. I did exactly as he asked, his eyes were blazing when he followed me onto the bed.I welcomed him with my arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he grabbed my thighs. And without another word, he entered me.At last.It was an emotional union that it almost made me cry. It felt so powerful… so satisfying. There was a slight pain, but it faded so soon. I didn’t know how much I had been anticipating for this until it finally happened tonight. And maybe Luther had felt it, too because he paused as if he was savoring the feeling of being one with me.With this, I could feel my bond with Giovanni totally disappearing tonight.
“WHAT do you think?” Luther asked after we finished reading the content of the invitation card which Suzanna had brought for us earlier. It was Magnus Alvarez’s sixtieth birthday which will be held tomorrow night. And both of us were invited.I looked up to Luther. “What about you? Do you want to go?”My head was resting on his lap while I was lying on the carpet. Both of us were only wearing robes since we just finished taking a shower together. After we had breakfast, we stayed in the balcony to read some files. We now share the reports that we gather from our subordinates and exchange ideas afterwards.Luther was smarter and more capable than I thought. He gets the gist of things easily. It was always a pleasure discussing things with him.“Well, if it’s up to me, I’ll just lock you here forever and make love to you all day and all night.” He sighed. “It’s safer here since almost every single guest in that party would want us dead except for the Alvarez family. You know that. But y
ALEXANDRA was busy chatting with the female guests beside the buffet table. Since she was smiling, others would think that she had found friends already. But I knew better. That was a dangerous smile right there. Behind that alluring smile, I knew she was pissed because she couldn’t eat her meat properly since the women wouldn’t leave her alone. What was wrong with these creatures? They looked like a bunch of gangsters in stilettos.My wife only wanted to eat in peace.I was about to mediate so Alexandra could finally eat quietly when Kenji showed up with a silly expression on his face.“Aren’t you going to say something to me? I’ve been waiting for it, you know.”“Get out of my way, you traitor. You have no idea how scary my wife is when she gets hungry. If you don’t want her to shift and turn us into her meal, go, evaporate.”Kenji looked betrayed. “How was I a traitor? I contributed so much in your marriage life! If not for the call I did, your wife wouldn’t have realized her feeli
I OUGHT to be guilty at least. But damn. I only felt mesmerized while looking at Alexandra. This was cheating. Does she even know what her laughter does to people?After some time, I shrugged. “Glad to know you were entertained. And you didn’t look jealous at all.”She was still smiling when she uttered, “If you look at them the way you look at me, I would have exploded by now. But Luther, you didn’t give me the chance to feel jealous. I’m grateful. Their words have no power over me because I know who and what I am in your life.”Her confidence, her stance, her smile, everything was sexy. I held her hand and kissed it, my teeth deliberately scraped her skin. If only we were at home, I would have pushed her down already. We did it before we left the house. As soon as I saw her in the gown, I pushed her against the wall and made love to her.Remembering it made me want to do it again and again. No matter how many times I took her, it will never be enough. Even until now, her taste still
“WEREN’T you afraid that I might embarrass you?” I asked Luther.He chuckled. “I know you wouldn’t do that. Besides, as if that would ever happen. Even if you just stood there and do nothing, you will still be beautiful. And I will still be clapping. Other men wouldn’t admit it, but deep down, they were clapping for you, too.”I smiled. Never in my life would I admit that I did that to make everyone see that Luther was now off the market. I would never have cared whose party this was or whose birthday we were celebrating. If I didn’t want to perform, no one could force me. But since in a way, it involved Luther, I felt like I had to show off… a little.I could still feel the lustful stares the women were showering him with. I could hear their every conversation. Some of the women here were the ones he used to date, women who wanted to have him back while some still wanted to have a taste of him despite the ring on his finger.And when it came to that department, it was hard to blame t
