CHAPTER 4

Lucinda’s POV

I woke up alone in bed A faint, indistinct scent of Darcus lingered in the air, bringing the scenes of last night back to my mind. I had a wonderful night, to say the least, my wolf let out a contented howl, though my heart still ached because of my broken mate bond

I had seen Darcus, the Lycan king countless times in the news and magazines. I always thought he was very huge and muscular but they didn't compare to how amazing he looked yesterday.

Darn! What are all these thoughts? I never knew I could think like this. I never expected a one-night stand but to be honest with myself, I don't regret it.

The moment I thought this was a betrayal of Alpha Killian, a sense of vengeful pleasure welled up in my heart. even if it was just self - deceptive.

I'm sure I can let go of Killian now but I hope and pray to the moon goddess I never cross paths with him again. And I'm sure I won't meet King Darcus again either.

Back to reality, I'm currently in a whore house and I need to get out of here and now that my head's clear. I will never let anyone hurt me again

I left the room and kept walking until I walked into the dining hall where a group of werewolves were gathered, counting their earnings for the night.

I smiled at them, it's time to get my compensation.

“Good morning, boys.” I flicked my hair back and sat down with them.

“Woah!” They all roared once I got their attention. “Our star of the night! You've awakened. How was your beauty sleep?” The werewolf counting all the money, who also had a sleazy smirk on his face asked.

I shrugged, “It was okay, had a bit of fun.” they all laughed but they all quieted down once I said my next words… “But y'all not going to be able to have fun soon.”

“Hey! Just because you fuck the Lycan king doesn't mean you're now the Queen, dumb bitch. You're just an Omega, at best you'll only be for his amusement but you're not special.” The guy yelled at me.

I sighed, “I'm sure you're the owner or at least the manager of this whore house so you should have a folder with all the whores in your position. Bring it and check to see if I'm in there because I'm not.”

“Shut your trap! I know how many whores I have and yesterday, I didn't have any extra.”

“You better check otherwise your business will close down or worse, you'll all die.”

“And who do you think you are to threaten us like that!” One of the guys beside him rose and yelled at me, trying to intimidate me but I behaved nonchalantly. “You're just an omega!”

“Yes but do you know who my mate is?” I asked which got everyone silent.

“I'm sure you all noticed the famous Mercedes at that run-down motel. Such a luxurious car should never be in such a place so I'm sure you didn't miss it or rather, because you did notice it, that's why you took the van to the back, I'm I right?”

“What are you getting at here?” the manager sneered.

“That I'm the mate of the Alpha of this pack, Alpha Killian. I'm sure you all have read the news that he discovered his mate to be an Omega. I am that Omega.” I announced confidently. “We came to that motel to have some fun and he was at the front waiting for me before you all kidnapped me. He must be searching for me by now which means, if he discovers what happened here last night, you're all in trouble.”

“Bullshit! Why would Alpha Killian care about his omega mate?”

“And what proof do you have that you're indeed his mate?” the questions kept coming and I just shrugged,

“I can't prove that since my face isn't on the internet but you can find out that I shouldn't be here if you check the folder with all your whores information in it. Plus I'm sure you can all tell that two male wolf scents are on me instead.” I urged him to check and this time he went along with others for the folder to be brought to him.

After checking three times, he was finally convinced that I wasn't one of his property, “So what do you want now?” He asked, his voice a little lower and not as intimidating.

“For you to buy my silence,” I responded immediately. “I want thirty (30) percent of the earnings last night to ensure my silence of what happened when I meet Alpha Killian again otherwise…”

“You're the mate of the Alpha, he's rich so why should you care about our money?” One of the guys there questioned angrily.

I laughed at him, “He's rich but that doesn't mean I should earn money when I can especially when I worked hard for it. I'm sure most of the money here right now is from the tips they gave to me. It's idiotic for you to think I'll forgive you without anything after what you put me through last night. Killing me is out of the question since this is the last place I've been and he immediately knows the mastermind and kills all of you well.” I got up and slammed my palms on the table, “So what will it be? The price is non negotiable.” I smirked at him, from the look on his face, I knew I got him cornered.

Last night will be the last time I do anything foolish, thinking with my heart instead of my brain like I usually do.
