After the very intense and romantic dinner, which mainly consisted of Lucas staring at me with his electric blue orbs and me trying not to puke everything that had entered my belly due to the intensity in his eyes, he led us quietly back into the room where I perched awkwardly at the edge of the bed. "Where is everyone?" I whispered. I couldn't help but note the differences between his and Mac's houses. No pack members were sprawling around here, and no slaves or workers were moving to do his bidding. I was curious: was this how he lived as an Alpha?"I dismissed them," Lucas replied, dispersing the chaos in my mind. That made sense, I thought. Lucas continued to stare at me with something like longing in his eyes, and I had no idea what to do. He had said nothing would happen tonight, so why did he stare at me like that?As if sensing my thoughts, his long fingers wrapped around my jaw smoothly. " Don't think too much, just stay here with me." "What attracted you to me?" I whisper
Mac didn't want me. It was obvious from the first moment we felt the bond between us, I knew it from the first time he stared into my eyes without any emotion. There was no room for me in his heart. When I was much younger, I would sit in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection as my mother combed my hair, softly narrating her love story, how she met my father, her mate, all over again as I smiled at her reflection in the mirror, this was our routine, and she had told me the story of how she met my father a million times, yet every time it felt just as special to me, just as brand new as she brushed my hair and whispered the tale all over again with tears filling my eyes as she smiled down at me. It was apparent who her love belonged to, but I knew it also belonged to me, even though not as intently as it did to my father. I was lucky to live their love, and even though she eventually faded into nothing but a memory, I lived my life waiting for that one-moment love to find me
The silence in the house told me exactly what I wanted to hear. I waited till everyone had gone to sleep, it was a crazy idea, and no one would have tolerated it anyway, so I had to be wise and do things on my own. Immediately we put the laundry away, Father returned, and Amanda rushed to serve and attend to him while I sat there, consumed by my thoughts and plans to visit Mac. I had gone over the idea about a million times in one night, yet I could not foresee it ending in a good way. It also gave me the perfect time to take some money for a cab. After assessing the house from what I could hear, I climbed down slowly from the bed, thankfully Amanda was such a deep sleeper; it didn't matter the noise that was being made, nothing could separate her from her lovely sleep, and we were the only ones who shared a room with a window big enough to allow my tiny frame to pass through. I jumped into my freest pair of jeans and hoodie. I needed the comfort first and then carefully, l let my
His ocean Blue eyes were shining in the dark. They were so beautiful and alluring; they pulled me in. The moon goddess really loves me to have paired me with someone as dreamy as Mac. It made me so happy to know that he was here, staring at me, that I could hold his attention for this long, I could still feel his stare burning into my skin, and it made me feel hot in places that had no business being hot. What was so different now? Maybe he was shy? I mean, right now his inability to keep his eyes off me shows a great level of interest, and I wonder what happened earlier when we met, why he couldn't even spare me a glance when we realised that we were mates. I mean, it was a casual drop-off by my father and he got to find out that the daughter of his father's chauffeur was his mate so it must have been so shocking and extremely cringe to him right? That must have made him shy, right? I was snapped from my thoughts by the jerk of a warm hand pulling me behind the curtain. That was q
There were so many things I expected when I finally regained consciousness When my body betrayed me by coming awake. The sexy stranger and I being tied up before a number of stern-looking alphas, Mac staring at me with the same nonchalant expression and now maybe more of hatred and disappointment? Father’s voice and eminent disappointment grounding me and expressing how foolish my decisions were, my sisters staring at me with pity and disdain and whoever read out my punishment according to the law, Amanda looking at me with a look that screamed betrayal and how could you? Mr. Ashen banning me from his estate and declaring that I was unfit for the position of Luna and I was forbidden from ever setting my eyes on his son. the ‘i told you’ look on the butler's stern face. But of all the things I imagined, never in a million years and lifetimes could I have imagined that I would wake up in my own room and on my own bed. That I would find myself in my room, on my bed with my jeans and sw
By the time I returned from walking around the neighborhood and sitting idly in a park while obsessing over the events of last night, my brain was tired of drawing conclusions that led nowhere. I met my entire family all hurdled over the dining table and eating. Father was smiling so brightly, as Gwen chatted something about her husband's field, I wondered when she arrived. I could tell Father was excited to be having a meal with his girls and when he saw me, his smile only increased. “You're back, I heard you went out for an unusual morning run.'' He teased, smiling with his eyes while he beckoned me to come over and join them at the table. Father certainly didn't know anything about last night. I walked over and took a seat at the dining table, Gisselle and Amanda stared at me weirdly, exchanging looks and finally accepting that I actually went jogging. All through my time out, I kept thinking, How did I get home? What exactly happened? It was driving me insane so severely that I
The silence in the house was deafening. once the door behind me was successfully locked everything came to a halt. I caught my sisters and my father all huddled around the dining table looking guilty, they had been eavesdropping and from the looks on their faces they knew I was well aware. Too tired and heartbroken to deal with any of it, I walked briskly into the room I shared with Amanda and shut the door loudly caging myself in. I climbed up to my bed and the waterworks officially began. Is love meant to hurt like this? Was I not enough? Did he have the faintest idea of the agony he put me through each time I stumbled through his emptiness and emotionless feelings toward me. I should have known he would only come here for intel, to use me, maybe there was nothing I could do to make this man love me. The tears flowed in harder in loud angry sobs and I was grateful to have locked the door behind me, I really didn't need anyone's counsel at the moment, I was too occupied with the voi
Who the hell was L? What did that even mean, I had a faint idea that it was the blue eyed stranger who probably dropped me that left the note here, but it didn't make any sense. What was the blue orchid for? And what was the meaning of L. a name? Luther? Lark? Lionell? These are the names that could suit him but they didn't feel quite right. Amanda cleared her throat, dragging not only my eyes but my attention to her. “ What is that about? And who is L? Spill before I betray you as you did” I sighed, exhausted If only she knew I had no answers to her questions. “ I'm just like you, I am as confused as you are” I said wearily. She studied me for a while and I knew she was deciding whether or not to believe me. Finally she said, “You know what? Lets just drop this, there has been enough drama to last a while in this family anyway” I nodded my head while looking away wistfully, trying to make sense of things and trying to understand what was really going on. Things were getting way mo
