Lucinda’s POV
The room was almost silent except for the muffled sobs which escaped my lips.
Memories of my mate calling me a pathetic wolf, echoed through my head, causing me to tremble.
My wolf howled painfully in my head, and I clutched my chest, I felt my heart beat painfully in my chest.
Trembling on the single bed, barely enough for one person, my hands pressed against my lips, trying their hardest to prevent my sobs from escaping.
My mate was just outside the room of this rundown motel that he reserved just for tonight.
This morning, he told me to make time for our date tonight and I was ecstatic and eagerly counted the hours till we had to meet, I never could have imagined my heart would be completely shattered before me like this.
I was used to the Ill-treatment from the pack for being an omega, a very low-ranking wolf but I never expected this sort of cruelty from Alpha Killian, the Alpha of Crescent Moon pack, and my mate.
Honestly, I knew he wasn't particularly happy when he found out I was his fated mate but I thought he had accepted that fact and he had come to love me despite my rank but I guess you could say I was willfully being delusional.
On this day, I got off work early and got all dolled up, expecting a wonderful evening with the love of my life. My stomach was filled with butterflies and my heart was filled with excitement and hopes for the future especially because he was the one who contacted me first and asked for a date, something he's never done before.
I took solace in the fact that he was busy since he was the Alpha and had many responsibilities.
He made me wait for him for three hours before picking me up from our agreed meetup but I didn't mind, I was happy to be able to meet him again after months.
My wolf stirred excitedly in my head, and I eagerly looked out the window for his car.
Sitting in his car, I bounced on the seat, grinning like a fool as he drove to our date.
Alpha Killian drove for more than an hour, almost close to the border of the pack. My foolish brain thought there was a fancy new restaurant that opened recently and I was grinning from ear to ear even regardless of the awkward silence in the car, but my smile dropped when I realized that the only establishment in the area was a motel, a rundown one at best.
I looked at him in confusion, as if to say, what we were doing here, but his next words made me freeze.
“I'm sure you know what has to be done if we go inside so what would it be?” He asked as he licked his lips, his eyes wandering around my body, “After all, we're mates, it shouldn't be a problem.”
My breath got in my throat and for a second I forgot how to breathe.
Was he talking about … sex? He wanted to have sex with me in a motel? Looking at the motel, I furrowed my brows.
Having sex with my mate wasn't a bad idea, but I wanted to keep my virginity till he claimed me.
I bit my lips, my eyes wandering back to the building.
This place was a strip club or as some would call…a whore house.
I stared back at his face for a moment, deciding to dismiss the thought.
He wanted to be with me so the place didn't matter as long as we were together. That was my last idiotic thought before he took my virginity and immediately rejected me as his mate afterward. Confused, I tried to reason with him to the best of my ability, reminding him of the deed we had just done but instead, he threatened to ruin my family's life in the pack if I didn't accept the rejection and leave him alone.
From the look of his bloodshot red eyes, I knew he wasn't bluffing. Scared for my family, I accepted his rejection, trembling in fear.
Satisfied with my reaction, he gave me a final kiss on the lips and then said, “A repulsive leech like you should have never dreamed of becoming the Luna, you dug your own grave. Wake up to reality, I'm not a tool to boost your rank. Dress up and meet me outside so we can return to the pack.” With that, he left.
As soon as the door closed behind him, tears streamed down my cheeks and I almost yelled in anguish but I quickly clasped my mouth and muffled my scream. He's a werewolf so he probably heard or not, I hope he didn't. He had humiliated me too much already, I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how much what he did hurt me.
That smirk he gave me, suddenly remembering it gave me chills down my spine, whenever images of the time we spent intimate together came into my mind, I would gag. All the feelings I had for that horrible werewolf were gone just like our mating bond.
He was a walking red flag from the moment we realized we were mates. I was the one who made excuses for him, something he never asked for, he wasn't even trying to hide it. He ignored me ever since then but I lied to myself that it was because he was busy. I messaged him every day on I*******m even though he rarely replied.
Even today, he didn't even hide the fact that he didn't like me and made me wait for him for three hours at a park and only came when no one would be around to see us together. He took me almost to the border of the pack where no one would see or recognize us, he thought everything through since I refused to let him go and I cannot say this was entirely his fault since I was the one who went along with it.
A tear slipped past my eye as I watched his retreating figure.
I felt my wolf howl in pain, my heart clenching with regret.
This was a mistake, One I could never undo.
Lucinda's POV. I sat across the balcony, taking in some fresh air, loving the fact that I have been able to make a man as loving as this fall helplessly in love with me without abandon. It gave me a little hope that I would probably be able to crack this and never have to worry my pretty head over anything else, instead I'd just have to keep on watching out because I also knew that my enemies were a lot. Fighting against them wasn't something that I wanted to get into at the moment, I would rather just ignore and keep looking until a point where I was confident that there wasn't going to be any mistakes whatsoever. "So what are your plans? You told me earlier that you loved being a baker. I hope you're not putting your plans on hold because you are now with me? I love women who work for their money and get paid. It gives you so much respect and people would never be able to treat you badly." Darcus advised me even though my heart was somewhere else. I wanted to visit my children
Author's POV. Samantha watched the interaction from the top of the balcony and her lips curled in distaste. There was something annoying about this woman and she just couldn't pinpoint it. She didn't want to have any straightforward conversation with the man that had been employed to take out these guys. It wasn't going to be easy, but as long as she was concerned, she would find a way of settling things and then getting away with it. There was something more that she should be thinking about instead of these issues. Now her birthday had been ruined and nobody was going to give her the respect that she deserved because they believed that she was a wicked fellow. She would never understand how they came to that conclusion and why they believed that she wasn't responsible enough. Amelia and Alexia walked out to the balcony. "I knew that you were going to find it difficult to come to terms with the fact that this woman in question is willing to make sure that you lose out on every
Lucinda's POV. Abigail accosted me just as I was about to leave, her eyes shining with something deeper that I didn't understand at first but decided to give you the chance just so that I could be sure of what was happening. "I honestly think that you're overreacting with whatever is going on but at the same time, I wouldn't blame you for any reason, I just believe that this is something that could be talked about and then it wouldn't have to worry yourself so much over this." She responded, without me even going into details. This was one of the reasons why I cherished our friendship, she always found a way of understanding what was going on. Yet I maintained a professional look, not wanting her to know that she had been able to figure out what I was going through. "You cannot keep hiding from someone like me because I can see through you every movement and I know when you are unhappy. But, we've got to do something about it. People are still present in the house, if they notice
Lucinda's POV.I jumped onto his body, hoping that I would be able to get away with whatever I wanted to do without anybody noticing me, that to be a fluke because instead of that it even became more prominent that I was searching for a way to cover up my deeds. The change in energy was everything and I refused to go further especially when he felt this way. If he was trying to get to the bottom of an issue, this certainly wasn't the right way to go about it and I was not even worried. Killian had to try harder to bring me out of the place where I had already relaxed. I had absolutely no reason whatsoever to allow myself to become immersed in how somebody wanted me to feel instead of how I truly felt. I had cracked the code even much earlier and wasn't going back. They were going to keep screaming but I wasn't going to let them win because it was none of their business whatever I did with my life and my time. It was just something that I derived pleasure doing. I didn't think
Lucinda's POV.My heart was beating fast just after I realized what had just happened.Darcus was asking questions. I would be surprised if he hadn't done that and my attempt to sound like he was disturbing me would only work for some time before he figured out the truth.How was I supposed to keep on lying to his face without expecting consequences to fall on me when she finally had a chance?I took a deep breath, moving away from the door, and heading towards my closet just to be able to get something nice.I needed to figure out a way to distract Darcus. That stupid Killian wanted to land me in trouble. I saw the way he looked at me even despite being warned. How did he expect that I was going to leave such beauty and love for ashes? The door creaked open and the hair on my nape stiffened, giving me a little signal. "Are you still awake, baby?" Darcus baritone voice wafted into my ears, pleasant, helping me to get rid of the initial dilemma that I was in. "I'm still angry at y
Darcus' pov. "What the hell are you doing here, Killian?" I demanded from him. He had no right to touch her without her permission, especially when she felt unsafe. What the fool didn't realize was the fact that I could sense Lucinda's emotions. As soon as I felt funny, I knew where it was coming from, He dropped her hands with immediate effect, staring at me as though he had been caught with his hands in the cookie jar. "No, I was just trying to assist her with a few things. I would never try to disrespect her in such a manner." He responded. He was very lucky today that I was not in the mood to ruin his life completely. I didn't buy his excuses especially when my woman still kept looking at him like she wanted to punch him through the wall. He had tried to assault her. "You know how particular I am about the women who are with me. I have never tampered with anyone's wife so I do not appreciate it if you come with such shenanigans. You are going to see the other side of me
