Author's POV. Daston pulled a cup out of its place and crashed it to the ground. "How dare he disgrace me in the presence of everyone? He knows that she is not fit to become his Luna!" The sound had Samantha almost jumping out of her skin. "Dad, I think you are paying too much attention to this. Why don't we just take things slowly?" "Obviously not, this is not what I want from you at all. I don't care about what anybody says. You are supposed to be on that throne and I'm going to get you there. I don't mind sacrificing myself for this cause."The amount of fear in Samantha grew wild when she was still her father performing like he was under some attack. "I understand how you must feel but can we take a break? We've been trying as much as possible to get him to see me but that has not been working. At this point I'm tired and I don't think he loves her."Daston casted an irritated glance at his daughter who was acting like a fool. "You don't think that they have been intimate? You
Lucinda's POV Watching the couple try to work out their issues wasn't my highlight, instead, I began to calculate what this could mean for my child. If her supposed guardian thought that I was having an affair with the man she called her husband, this simply meant that I was not safe and that I needed some time alone to process things. I needed to get my child to another caretaker but who exactly would want to take in my child as theirs."Babe... I'm sorry but this is not what you think. I'm pretty sure you have things mistaken. What do you think?" "I don't know how you want me to take this but honestly, I don't care!" I watched them carefully. This was a totally different argument but I was going to pretend like I didn't understand it. I had so many things on my mind and diving into this wasn't the way to go. I had a lot of things to clear up."I'm not in any way romantically linked to your husband." I piped up, after realizing that Marcus had no idea of how to defend himself.Sh
Lucinda's POV. Immediately after I returned from Marcus' house, I rushed into the house hoping that no one noticed my absence and that no one had gone around, luckily their mouth trying to tell everyone that I was missing. That would be a disaster and I almost didn't want to be in such a situation. The only thing that could stop me right now was if Darcus came out and asked what exactly I went out for. As soon as I walked in, Abigail breathed in relief. She was the only person that I had told where I was heading towards and had given me the go-ahead. She didn't even completely know what my mission was, and I just said it so that she would be able to ascertain and give up a false impression that would make those people ready to be confused. She rushed towards me, clasping her hands over mine. She looked me in the eye while looking around just to see if anyone was listening to our conversation. "See, I understand that you need to leave, but at the same time, I still want you to be
Lucinda's POV.My heart gave an erratic lurch, as I stayed at the woman who probably wanted me out of this place at all costs. She didn't care what it was going to mean to me or anyone else, as long as she had me dumped out. I lifted my lips into a wry smile. "I wouldn't have expected you to understand that people have engagements. I mean I know that it might be foreign to you.""Yeah, right."Her eyes lifted into more anger. "Yes, of course.""Damn it, you are just trying to hide the fact that you must have gotten yourself into trouble and I have figured it out so you want to sweep it under the carpet by using these guys." She started her claims, coming at me with fingers in my face. "Do they freaking know that you do not love them as you claim?" Even though I wanted to indulge her, I knew that Darcus was waiting for me somewhere and I needed to do something about it. "Why don't we have this conversation later? Probably when you are more calm. I think you have a stick of your... Y
Darcus' POV. I saw red.I was smelling a male on her, but here she was acting as though I had no sense at all. The last woman I gave permission into my life turned it upside down and left me scarred till today, and she attempted to do the same thing to me. I let out a trail of laughter, watching her eyes grow conflicted. Yes, you've got a feel of the heat especially with the wars threatening to break out and then somebody that I considered close also trying to play a fast one on me. "You've got to be kidding me. Hanging out with a man when you know that you have bound to me is an overstretch of your liberties. I should have always known that you didn't consider this a serious agreement because I have let you get away with many atrocities."She attempted to shake her head but I cut her off. "Oh, you better be ready to give me some explanations because I need serious ones. If you decide not to respect our Union because I have been lenient with you, I think you need a redefinition o
Lucinda's POV. I was kicked out of his room, with a little fear gathering in my eyes That was not the man that I knew. He sounded like he was talking deep from his soul but I didn't just know how to place my finger on it. I had more than enough reasons to be worried for myself and many things that must have come up but I refused. I knew that I had messed up a lot and it was going to take a whole lot of time and energy to be able to be restored. I had reasons to also be worried out of my mind but I kept them buried forever. There was no sense in making a huge deal out of something that probably never held water. "Are you okay?" Abigail demanded from me immediately she saw my countenance. Of course I wasn't okay, but I was not going to be a baby about it or make a huge deal out of something that I could just relax and watch play out. "I think he is upset with me but I don't know what I did. I honestly would not do anything to offend him and that's why I'm a little bit worried. I
Lucinda's POV. I might have pretended like her words held no weight, but honestly that was not even remotely true because all I could think of at that moment was, making sure that I had everything already mapped out. Her words kept echoing in my mind, thinking about how she expected me to be very okay with the fact that the man loved me but he was not showing it. How was I supposed to believe all of that without having double thoughts? This has gone on for so long and then I am a little worried. "You've got to think and find a solution." If I needed Darcus to come closer to me, then I have to be fast about it and make sure that everything was right on track. The best way to make him closer was to make him my friend, and that would only happen if I made the move almost immediately instead of leaving it to chance. My head was banging with various scenarios that would end up with me being disgraced. I was very concerned about how things would end up instead of how I would be able
CHAPTER 1Lucinda’s POVThe 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

Lucinda's POV. Immediately my hands connected with him, I felt a slight tremble. There was something different.He opened his eyes to stare into my eyes while I tried to figure out how much I had lost with this boy not being in my life. I might have forgotten anything else in the world but not forgetting how to become a great mother. I didn't know how to speak, think , work or act. He blinked softly and sighed, "isn't he just too cute?" Marcus cooed, assuming the fatherly responsibility, which made me even feel so bad of myself. Someone else wasn't supposed to be taking care of my child, when I had the means to do so. It was appalling and I couldn't even think of what to do next.The fact that I had absolutely no one who could help me was enough to send me into a partial outrage but at the same time I still wanted to be a little calm and see how things played out. "Why don't you have a seat? Your legs are a little shaken. I hope that's not a problem." Marcus also remarked, making
Lucinda's POV. My first stop was outside and because I had gotten Chris to promise me that he wasn't going to inform anybody of my movement I had freedom to do whatever I like. Firstly, even if I wasn't going to make any mistakes, I wanted to ensure that I had everything mapped out in such a way that no one would be able to point fingers at me or know my next move. Instead it will all just be them trying to figure out what I was up to while I did my thing. I quickly took a cab because that was the only thing that was going to leave me without anyone raising suspicions.Chris came to the window and looked in, inspecting the man who was about to lead me away and I thought that was pretty nice. I had not found anyone who was as committed as I was to making sure that everything was going on smoothly and now that I found one, I wasn't going to take him for granted. "Thank you but I hope you keep to your promise of not informing anyone that I stepped out. That could be the highlight of
