Lucius's POV I raised my hand in anger to her approaching figure and she stopped with an awkward smile."My love," she stuttered."I am not your love and I will never be Jolynn. What the hell are you even doing here?" I hissed, my wolf pushing to the surface as it growled in front of her."Doing your job, Alpha Lucius!" A deep voice suddenly filled the courtyard.I turned around to find her father, walking toward us with confident strides."What are you talking about?" I gawked at him.At the back of my mind, I knew that Lucas and I had practically abandoned the pack to rule itself for a long while. But I never gave her the job —if at all she did it."The guards are watching. The council is inside, who knows they might have spies everywhere. Let's walk my King," he said as he got closer.I felt cornered.As much as I wanted to ignore him and just burst through the conference doors, I couldn't do it.I could feel the glares of the guards around us and somehow, I believed the old gamma

Diane's POVWhen we returned to the room back in Hawaii, I wasn't surprised that Lucius wasn't there. Lucas gave a vague explanation but I didn't care. When we finally got back from our trip, I couldn't help but feel uneasy. I didn't want to but I couldn't help it. I was starting to fear that something might have happened to him but the moment he stepped into the house, my anger returned.His silly excuse for an apology didn't work either. What could he make up for? The fact that he left without saying anything? Or the fucking fact that he had a girlfriend named Jolynn?!My heart was burning with anger and I just hated myself over and over for agreeing to this sick deal. Not even that, I went too far in that vacation and I have no one to blame but myself."Mummy?"Owen's sweet little voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I turned to look at him.He was tucked into his bed and holding out a book for me to read to him. His small frame was so cute that it was so easy for me to smile an

Diane's POVWithout waiting for her response I turned away and moved out of the kitchen at once with anger flaring inside of me.I longer had an appetite and all I wanted to do was launch the oatmeal on someone but I held it all in.With my eyes completely clouded with anger, I ran into a wall."Shit!" I hissed as my balance on the bowl loosened and it slipped to the floor, the ceramic plate shattering on impact."I am so sorry." His voice filled the space between us, and that was when I realized that it wasn't a wall I had run into, it was Lucius.My anger seemed to shift away from the fake blonde in the kitchen to the man in front of me.Ignoring him, I bent down and started picking the pieces of the bowl."Leave it, let me do that," Lucius said, joining me on the floor.I blinked, my anger increasing to a higher level as I felt his fingers brush over mine."Stop it, Lucius!" I yelled, glaring at him.His eyes looked hurt but I didn't care. I knew his game and I knew what he was cap

Diane's POV"So she lives here now?" Sophie asked as we sat at the pool, enjoying the sun on our skin."Well, apparently, she does and there is nothing I can do about it!" I puffed, wishing I could just turn back time and return to the moment I had accepted to work for Redskin in the first place.This way, I wouldn't have met Owen and Lucius wouldn't have asked me to marry him.I wouldn't be in the dilemma I was in right now."And Lucius hasn't said anything?" Sophie's voice slowly took up a higher pitch as she kept glaring at me with disbelief dancing in her eyes.I rolled my eyes and relaxed further into the outdoor chairs we were sprawled on. I couldn't go into the pool because of my injury but I insisted on coming out here because I knew this was the only place we could have a civil conversation without being interrupted by Barbie."Hold on, she lives here. Lucius is quiet and you have folded your arms and done nothing?" Her eyes moved over my body in fast movements before she sto

Lucius's POVMy cock twitched in my pants as I followed the movements she made with her mouth. She was so sexy, she didn't even realize it."What? I shouldn't, so what?" I whispered, letting her eyes sweep over me in a way that send shards of emotions coursing through me.All my wolf wanted to do in that instance was to take her. Right there.But I couldn't. We still had a lot to talk about.She had sort of forgiven me for the Jolynn issue but that issue hadn't been solved yet. Jolynn was still in the house. I had to find a way to send her out."Hey?" She whispered, snapping her fingers before me. "What's wrong?"I shook my head and smiled at her. "It's nothing."Her eyes studied mine for a few seconds and then a frown settled on her beautiful face. "You are lying. What are you thinking?""I am thinking of a thousand things," I whispered as my eyes darkened with my emotions. It was always a rollercoaster with her. One moment, I was thinking about a threat. The next I wanted to fuck h
