Lucy Xavier and I spent some time chatting it felt nicer, and more carefree than it was when we were in a position, back then we only ever talked about things that concerned the pack but now it's just random stuff. I feel like this is the quality time I missed out on. My heart hurts a little when I realize that I haven't spent much quality time with dad in such a long time. Spending time with my former alpha has made me see things from a different perspective. I am happy that Kayden brought me here. Rain continues to pour and I begin to wonder if I will spend the night here too cause it's slowly getting dark. I face-palm myself when I remember that I am supposed to assure mum, at least she deserves to know that I am okey for tonight. I open my mind and instantly reach out to her. “ Mum!” “Lucy! Lucy! ...why do you always have to shut us out. I have been worried sick when your dad tried to come set free you away with Ace, but you were not there. Where are you?!”
Lucy I am the at pole again tied up and it's sunny today. It's been two days now and it hasn't been easy. The meal I had with Xavier saved me a great deal of hunger. But my stomach is making summersaults of its own. Mara is restless and she keeps pacing around walking as far as the leash can allow. She doesn't like being tired down, she would rather be running in the forest. ‘Why is mate doing this to us?’ She asks. She sounds sad way too sad she can't comprehend what is happening, why it's even happening. ‘ It's not mate it's Lexi.’ ‘No Lucy it's mate!! He is the one that put us back here not her.’ She is heartbroken, how do I even explain it to her to make her understand? She watches everything that happens and to her, it's Kayden hurting her. Her restlessness is beginning to make me feel even more stressed than I should be. But how can you be okey if your other half isn't? It breaks me that for the first time I don't know what to say to calm her down. It's
“ It's time for you to get released from here Lucy.” Mara stares at Kayden as he undoes the leash that we had been bound to for a week now. She is not as excited as she was to see Kayden. She regards him differently now. There is a little crowd around and honestly, it irritates both of us that pack members can be here to watch the ordeal like it's some historical event. Finally, free dad is the first to rush near us. And the moment he tries to get near Mara she growls at him. She doesn't need any help. He is shocked as watches her, everyone else is shocked. Mara keeps are head held high as everyone separates to let her through. She won't accept any help from anyone. Five days of hunger would leave another wolf unable to walk but Mara’s spirit and pride won't let her biggest enemy think she is weak. The crowd begins to clap and cheer for her and that only makes boosts her confidence. There has never been something like this in the pack. Mara turns to look at Lexi and L
Lucy “ What do you mean trouble in paradise?” I sigh, I am still in shock from what happened in my room a few minutes ago. I reach for the food that Ace left behind for me. If I am going to have this conversation with mum then I will need all the energy I can get. I begin to munch on the food, and mums still have some pieces of the meat that are in the packet. I glare at her and she simply shrugs her shoulders. “ Ace is the troubled mum!” I whine. She chuckles, “ I miss those days when your dad used to trouble me a lot. It was hard for him to get me to like him but when we did gosh it was everything.” She has dreamy look in her eyes and I roll mine. “ Mum we are talking about me here!” I scold her. “ Oh sorry, back you, my love.” I smile, “ that's more like it.” “ You were right about Ace,” I say. She squeals happily and when she sees that she is the only one squealing she stops instantly. “ Well, ain't you happy he likes you?” She asks as she observ
Kayden I don't know why but I enjoy teasing Lucy. Seeing her face scowl gives me a certain type of joy I can't explain. Her reactions make me want to tease her more its why I can't stay away from her even if I want to. There is just something about her. And then there is Lexi. She is a good woman, a good she-wolf. She is a wonderful mate too but teasing her isn't as fun as it is with Lucy. “Stay away from my mate!” Her claim and command didn't sit very well with me. Maybe if she telling some other girl I wouldn't have minded but the fact that she was telling Lucy. I felt uneasy. I shifted from one foot to the other. I waited I needed to hear what Lucy’s answer would be, I was dying to hear it. Will she fight back or not? “Gladly.” She stated as she continued to walk away. I sigh, this is... I don't know even know how to describe it. “ Babe!” “ Shut the fuck up. You don't have any right to tell pack members to say away from me like that. What if she has a p
Lucy Breakfast is awkward, the atmosphere is too tense you could cut through it with a knife. “ The meal is good isn't it?” Xavier asks breaking the silence that sat among us. “ Yeah, it's very good,” I say my turning into a nervous smile. Kaydens continues to eat quietly not bothering to engage in conversation with us. He looks distracted. “ So Kayden, how did you sleep?” Xavier asks casually. He lifts his cup and takes a sip of his hot coffee. He closes his eyes briefly as he savors the wonderful taste. He enjoys coffee, no doubt. “ I slept fine until your voices woke me up.” He answers, his voice is edgy. Looks like something crawled up his man pants and now he is in a bad mood. I continue to eat, the last thing I want is to engage in conversation with him. Besides Lexi told me to stay away from him and that is what I will do STAY AWAY. Note the sarcasm. “ Sorry about that. My friend Lucy came to tell me about private issues.” Xavier defends. I
Lucy “ How come you always look depressed after talking to Alpha Kayden?” I stop in my tracks as I think about Xavier's words. He does have a point it's sad I never noticed it myself. “ I guess he is just a depressing person.” Xavier shakes his head, “ I don't agree, I have spent so much time with Kayden as well. He isn't a bad man.” I remain silent, this makes things a bit different. I know he didn't say those words simply because Kayden is the alpha but rather because he has just observed him. “ Well, he is depressing to me.” I defend. Xavier shakes his head once more his shoulder-length black locs bouncing with each shake. “ It's just a sign.” He states. I raise my brows, “ what sign?” “ That you need another man who won't be making you depressed every time you talk to him.” My mouth hangs open. I am so tired of everyone telling me what I need and don't need. It's moments like these that I wish Stacy was here so I could vent to her but my last mem
Kayden Lucy’s words linger on my mind. I don’t know what to believe anymore. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Lexi is cheating. I haven't touched her since we got here and every time I try, an image of the woman I dislike in this pack appears. “ Max you can't attack someone like that do it right this time!” I scold one of my warriors. “ Yes, alpha.” He continues to attack and my mind strays once more. Can Lexi really be cheating? Or doesn't Lucy just want to destroy my relationship with Lexi simply because the mating ceremony is in a few days? I can't trust Lucy’s words anyway. I know she may only want to say something that will benefit her in the future. I continue to walk around as I observe the warriors. Watching them one by one assessing those who have improved and those who haven't. Even as I move I can feel her eyes on me. I know she watching me and my body feels like fire where ever her eyes touch. I groan, it's hard to pretend like I don't feel it when
