Lucian walked into the study/library, whatever it was while I clutched the edge of the table behind me with both my hands. I was scared as hell! He was talking to someone on the phone and ignored me. I waited quietly leaning on the table, afraid to move. He slipped the phone into the inner pocket of his jacket. Then put two fingers under my chin and tilted my face until I met his eyes. He leaned forward and kissed my mouth. It was not an unfamiliar gesture to me; we had done more than kissing. However, something was demanding in the way he kissed. I tried to relax, tried to kiss him back, though I was trembling. He stopped abruptly. "I could hear your heartbeat at the entrance. You are scared."I was uncertain if it was a question or a statement. I licked my lips. "I am not scared; I was just startled."He arched a brow. "Startled! Why so? Were you expecting someone else?" He gave a sly smile.I was certain he would be angry and probably kill me i

Alice -I awoke to the chirping of birds on the windowsill. I checked my watch instantly. It was 5 am, still quite early. I turned my head towards the lovely sound, usually, the windows remained closed for security reasons. I wondered who opened it."Good morning, dear," Lucian's voice called out from across the room.Startled slightly, I turned towards the source of his voice, instinctively pulling the sheets over my body as I caught sight of him. He disengaged himself from the chair near the fire, looking extremely stiff and haggard. He sat down near the bed and smoothed out the bed covers before him. He looked very exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes."Are you ok?" I asked, concerned.He reached out to rub my foot through the sheets. He wanted comfort; I could sense that. Wolves like to touch each other when they are stressed. "You look like, hell! What happened?"He ran his hand through his hair, "I didn't get to sleep last nig

"Fat chance! Mr Blake," I quipped. "A man can always try," he shrugged.I laughed," why don't you go back to bed and catch up on your sleep. Meanwhile, I will keep myself busy duelling with your jealous Exes?""I don't have that many Exes, at least not in this pack. After Eliza, I swore off dating anyone from my pack. Didn't want any bad vibes." "Thank God for the small mercies," I muttered."Now come on, go back to sleep, "I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him towards his bedroom. It was like pushing on a wall of muscles.He laughed and held my wrists, pulling me towards him. As a result, I tripped and fell towards him. Colliding with his chest.My breathing stopped as I looked up into his green depths. I suddenly realized that he was half-naked, and I was dressed in just a robe."You look extremely hot and irresistible in a robe." He whispered in my ears."The way you say it, it sounds very erotic," I said, raising my eyebrows.It w

Savannah sat in front of me, staring intently. I had narrated my entire situation with Mark and Lucian to her. I was taking a massive risk, but I did not have a choice."Well, that's pretty messed up," she responded.I nodded in agreement. "You understand, don't you?" I pleaded with her."I think your friend Emma is right, you should talk about this with the Alpha, and clear your stand. He will be heartbroken because he had been waiting for his mate desperately. He was particularly difficult in the last two years. But it would be for the best, I believe. " I stared at her in disbelief. She was fine with me dumping her Alpha. I did not expect such a response from Savannah."Really? You think so?" I asked.She hesitated for a moment."The pack recognizes the fact that you are still unmarked, and unmated." She said pointedly."Crap! So, those make-out sessions were not leaving enough scent to convince them." I thought internally."I heard them

AliceThe kitchen was a whirlwind of activity. Pans were flying in and out of the large ovens, piles of vegetables were being washed, chopped, and diced, and enormous amounts of meat was being prepared ready to be grilled. During one of Katherine's trips around the kitchen, I have had enough. I was supposed to sit and relax, but I was never the one to sit around when there was work to be done. Moreover, after our scorching kiss in front of the pack, everyone's mood seemed to have lightened, and they were all ready to party. Taking a spare apron off the rack, I joined a girl chopping onions. It was a few minutes before the girl realized I was there. Wide-eyed, she dropped her knife and just stared. "What?" I asked. "Madam Luna, you are not supposed to do this work," the girl stammered. I smiled, "I want to help," and continued chopping. The girl just continued to stare. "Come on, get back to work," I said to her. The girl immediately joined back. I asked her name, she said she wa
