Now I think I get how Lucius was able to solve the problem. Of course, he is very influential. Having a mall exclusively opened for him is not hard. I don’t even think he had to use supernatural abilities to do this, his money is probably enough. I knew the Voss clan is an old rich family, but I guess Lucius is ‘filthy’ rich and he doesn’t mind to show it.“Go pick everything you want,” Lucius said.“Is this mall yours, perhaps?” I didn’t sound so serious that was why when he answered, I was surprised.“It is.”“Wait. Are you serious?”His brow raised. “Do I look like I’m joking?”I cleared my throat and stepped back a bit. “I’ll go look around.”I walked away from him to go inside the boutiques and I thought he would just stay right where he was when I noticed him stalking me. I stopped to look at him. He asked, “What?”“I thought you would just wait for me to finish picking some stuffs.”“I figured I better help you decide for your clothes since I want you to look decent enough as m

The ceremony started shortly and I tried to look any other bride as much as possible. Though if the audience have very observant eyes, I think they would notice that I am a little weird or that Lucius and I are a little indifferent to each other. But well, I think there is just a small percentage that they would think something is wrong with Lucius because he is kind of a good actor. He even kissed my hand when he reached out for me as we both faced the wolf shifter who would wed us.I didn't feel anything when Lucius did that for the sake of our pretend relationship. It's just, I got irritated on myself for imagining someone else's face. I really hope that I would soon forget all the worthless emotions and remnants of the past. Who knows my ex, Anthony, is also in somewhere, having his happy ever after with his new found mate? To be honest, I hate how he made me believe and feel that I was the woman destined for him, that we are destined for each other. I hate how he made me feel tha

"Humans' yacht party or wolf shifter’s or both?" I asked. Well, I think both kind must be present in the party as the elite Lucius Voss is connected to the elite people in both kinds."Wolf shifter’s Since you would be my partner as of the moment, you should remember that I do not do anything without a valid reason. And you know what is valid for me? If the reason is purely business."Right. That matches his attitude and appearance."So you mean we are going to a party in wolf shifter’s society?”"Yes, and elite one for that matter.”"What are we going to do there?" I don't have any idea yet what are Lucius’ plans but of course his every action relative to it concerns me, so it is just right to ask for a little details, right? After all, we are partners in our plans. We are involved to whatever we do with regards to our plans."After the bomb, we should make the story more interesting. We need to have a little show, so you must brace yourself and try to make your every action look nat

It was Simon.Our gaze met and I felt like my world stopped for a moment. It was very quick though. Just very quick that I felt like it never came to me, like it was just a very quick moment of time that was not a vital part of my life. He was wearing a black suit, his face serious and his eyes were dark as he held my gaze. The way he looked at me made me think that he had so much to say to me, that he wanted to do so much. His lips were pursed tight and his jaw was tight as if there was something pissing him off real bad.For a moment, questions swirled down my mind and I felt like I wanted to throw him questions I had never planned of asking him ever since my pack was ruled by Benedict. Questions that I wanted to ask but I will never ask because what is it for? With the path I had chosen, with the life I have now, would all of those even matters? No. It will not matter because whatever he will say or do, I am very sure that it will not lessen the pain that I had felt when I was told

To feel that kind of potent need was strange and dangerous. The moment I smelled the luscious scent of the human's soul, I was so certain that there was no stopping for me. That it was either he would die or I would. The latter sounds impossible, though. So I knew that the first was more likely to happen.But for some reason, I don't know how Lucius managed to stopped me. I don't know how he managed to calm me at a point where I thought I had lost my ability to be rational. He was able to put out the fire that he knew would cause the biggest regret of my life. And more than thankful that he did. Because I don't know what I could have done to myself later on if ever I had killed that man.The door opened and it was followed by Lucius's baritone voice. "Had you completely calmed yet?"During the incident in the hallway earlier, after I came back to my senses, I ran to the other side where the man was standing and went to the farthest side of the building and entered an empty room. I don
