All Chapters of The Lycan's Gold Digger Wife : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Lacy's POV"Who's there?" I call out to the darkness after stopping abruptly midway in the halls. I initially dismissed the feeling of uneasiness as nerves, but I was sure I had just heard footsteps. Maybe it was all in my head after all. I turn and continue to walk away when suddenly an arm slams me against the wall and pins me down by the waist so I can't move. "What the–" I suck in a sharp breath.A man stands in front of me, and he reeks of alcohol. I don't recognise him. Who was he?Was he one of those men who attacked me the other time?No, he must be from the hall if he reeks of alcohol, right? So he's from this pack, but what does he want with me? He has broad shoulders, is tall, and scars litter his face and neck. I was terrified. What had I gotten myself into?I push and hit him with my hands, but he has me caged so that I can't escape."Why the rush, Luna? You don't need to run away from me," He slurs, barely keeping himself upright but, for some reason, strong enough

Vincent's POV"Why are the lights so bright?"My body aches, and I'm barely able to move. I fucking hate this.Blinking against the harsh white light on the ceiling, I force my eyes to open more.The clinic. I try to move, but the second I do, a sharp pain stabs through my ribs."Easy," a gruff voice mutters.Dr Harris stands beside my bed, arms crossed, looking unimpressed as always. "You're awake. That's a good sign."I push past the dizziness, my jaw clenching. "What the hell happened?""You were poisoned," he says bluntly, flipping through his clipboard and noting things down. He kept looking up at me and then back at the board. "A new kind of toxin, one that specifically targets Lycans. We're still analyzing it, but your system is fighting it off. You'll recover. Eventually."Something in his tone makes my gut tighten. "Eventually?"Harris exhales through his nose, clearly preparing for my reaction. "You won't be able to shift for a while."What?I reach out to my wolf, but all

Lacy's POV "I'll take my leave." Celeste makes sure to look at me after giving Vincent the peck, and she bumps into me when walking out. "I'll leave too." Vincent's mother still looks stunned as she smiles at her son and follows Celeste out.Once she slams the door, Vincent and I are shrouded in silence. He turns away from me and lies back down on the bed while I stand there staring at him.I snap out of it and turn to walk away."Where are you going?" I spin back to see him staring at me."My room," I reply blandly. Why was he asking me that?"Can you help me pour a cup of water? The doctor said I shouldn't stress myself." Is he being real?"I can't. It's not stated in the contract for me to tend to you when you're sick." His eyes go wide, and his nostrils flare. Oh, how nice it is to get a taste of your own medicine, huh?"But it is one of the rules that you must listen to every word that I say," he presses on."And I am refusing to listen to this request of yours." To piss him

Lacy's POVI turn my head to see Celeste. What is she doing here?"Your mother told me to come along," she says blandly before taking a seat behind us and putting in her earbuds, ignoring Vincent.Vincent doesn't say anything. He takes his seat back and goes back to typing on his laptop. He no longer cares about my fear of flying. I shove Twinkies in my mouth as the plane finally takes off."Lacy, get up.""Huh?" I open my eyes to see that the airplane isn't moving anymore. Did we land already? When did I fall asleep?I get up to see that almost everyone has gotten off the plane. Vincent is nowhere in sight, and it's Brent who woke me up. He smiles at me, and I smile nervously back. He holds out his hand and helps me out of the plane.I spot Vincent talking to Celeste, but as he notices our presence and my hand in Brent's, he scowls. Brent chuckles in amusement and helps me into the waiting vehicle.Once we're in, the car drives off."Um, is Vincent not coming with us?""I thought you

Vincent's POV"What is taking them so long?" I say, asking no one in particular, but Celeste found it as her job to answer."Who knows? Lacy could possibly be dragging Brent back."I ignore her, but I keep surveying the people in the room. This year, the association chose to keep the reason for the meetings secret, and it is seriously bugging me. "What do you mean it's not my name that's on the list?" That voice sounds familiar. Why does it sound familiar?People are turning towards the entrance of the room and murmuring, and Celeste beside me gasps, making me turn too.I'm not even the least bit surprised that it's my lovely wife who is making a scene. I wonder what got her panties in a twist now.I walk away from Celeste before she can stop me. She has been clinging to me since the plane ride, mentioning how she had something important to tell me. The receptionist looked ready to disappear from fear at how Lacy was staring down at her. Brent stood beside her with the same expressio
