LucyArmando and I made our way to the torture room. As soon as we stepped in, my anger surged through. I saw him. He was already tied to a chair.The torture room was so big it could contain even the maids I saw there. The girls were tied and were made to sit on the floor.Some were already crying. The others already had dry eyes but distraught looks in them. One could tell the crying ones had been at it for long now.But they were not why I was here. It was the man who had betrayed my trust when I had gone to him for help.“We meet again, Dr. MacKennan.” There was always an empty chair in scenarios like this so I dragged a nearby one towards me and took a seat opposite the quiet man.“What do you want?” He asked, his stare held defiance.“Well, someone has developed quite the spine.” I said in my coldest tone.“I don’t care what you do to me. I’m relieved that my family is safe.” He retorted.“You bastard!” Armando growled and before I could see it coming, he breezed past me and lan
ARMANDO“Please I’ll talk, I'll tell you everything you wanna hear, don’t hit my wife, please. She doesn’t know a thing. Please, let her go.” He cried as soon as he saw us walk in.I rubbed the back of Lucy affectionately. She raised her face and passed me a smile though I could tell she was still very angry, as she deserved to be.“Go and get your answers.” I encouraged her.She did not bother with the seat anymore. She bypassed the man’s wife who was still tied to the chair and whimpering as soon as she spotted Lucy coming her way.But Lucy paid her no mind and went straight for the husband, taking the whip with her. “Talk.”“The Alpha came to me and I lied when I said he forced me. I was working for him for the money.” He began, his ‘bad boy’ demeanor was gone.I could almost laugh at how pathetic he was at the moment.“What was the aim?” Her expression was stoic and mean.Even in my shirt that looked big on her and her denim, she still managed to maintain that ruthless appearance
Lucy“I’m ready.” Teck was coming down the stairs.Armando and me turned in unison to observe him. He was carrying a small bag that I guessed was housing his laptop.“Ready for what?” Armando inquired, watching curiously as he reached the base of the stairs.“To go with you.” He replied casually.Armando and me exchanged looks. It was the following morning, Armando and I had set out to find the truth concerning this whole crazy saga and put an end to it once and for all.It was going to be a long journey ahead so we didn’t actually know when we might be back. Armando had made plans for shelter and our small travelling bags had been taken to the car by one of his men.“Do you know where we’re going, Teck? You can not go with us.” I was the one who spoke this time.“I don’t care. But I know it has some connections with whoever that’s responsible for my home destruction. I want revenge too.” The glint in his eyes were those of determination.“This is not a child’s play, Teck. What we’re
LucyRING RING!!!!!!!!!!My peaceful slumber was abruptly interrupted by the loud ringing of my phone, jolting me awake from a deep sleep. Groaning softly, I fumbled blindly around the bed, my hand searching for the source of the disturbance. But instead of the familiar cold touch of my cell phone, my palm collided with something warm and solid, sending a jolt of alarm coursing through my veins.Blinking blearily, my sleepy gaze focused on the unfamiliar face that loomed before me, watching me sleep. My heart leaped in my chest as I registered the presence of a stranger in my bed. As I studied his features, I noticed his chiseled jawline, tousled dark hair cascading gently over his forehead, and the faint hint of a dimple when he breathed softly . Despite my initial shock, I couldn't deny that he was quite handsome."Who are you?" I demanded, my voice edged with a hint of steel as I reached for the pistol concealed beneath my pillows. "And what the hell are you doing in my bed?" I add
Lucy As I rode through the city streets on my power bike , the roar of the engine drowned out my thoughts. Despite the rush of adrenaline that came with the ride, a sense of discontent gnawed at my heart.Maintaining romantic relationships, felt like an impossible feat when I couldn't even be honest about who I truly was. And as for finding my mate, well, that seemed like a distant dream, shattered time and time again by the harsh reality of my existence. I was born to kill. That's one thing I know how to do, and I do it quite excellently. But lately, I've been feeling lost. I've been trying to find myself. I feel like I can do something better with my life. I've had enough with the blood money and looking over my shoulders.Finally arriving at the base nestled within the heart of the city's nightlife, I was greeted by a sea of flashing lights and pulsating music. Despite the throng of people clamoring for entry outside the Red Lotus Clubhouse, I was granted passage with a mere nod t
Lucy"Wait," Alpha Jax called out from behind me, making me halt in my tracks. "Have you lost your mind?" he added, his tone laced with incredulity. "I'm the head of the High Table. To go against me is to go against the Ace of Spades. And you know what this means, right?"I turned around slowly, my face void of any smile. "Consequences. Yes, I am well aware," I replied evenly, meeting his gaze head-on.Alpha Jax pulled out a stick of cigar from his jacket and lit it up, his movements deliberate and intimidating. He held my gaze as he took a puff of smoke, the air around us thick with tension. "Do you think you can handle the smoke?" he challenged, his voice low and gravelly.I held his gaze with a touch of confidence, refusing to back down. "Doesn't matter what I can handle or can't handle. You're the one leaving me with no choice," I retorted, my voice steady despite the rising tension.Alpha Jax shook his head after another puff of smoke, a flicker of resignation crossing his featur
LucyWith a wide grin on his face, Alpha Jax folded his hands together and remarked, "Perfect, enjoy the rest of your night."Swiftly, he turned around and walked towards the door, his men following closely behind."Wait," I called out, making him halt in his tracks."Is there a problem, Angel of Death?" he responded, turning around slowly, his expression a mix of curiosity and impatience.I stood up from my seat, gently placing the glass back on the table and wiping the remnant of the whiskey from my lips. "This guy," I began, holding up the photograph, "you still haven't told me why you want to kill him so desperately."Alpha Jax twitched his face as if displeased with my question. "That's my business, Night Star," he replied curtly, his tone leaving no room for argument. "And your business is to make sure he dies.""I know, I know," I responded, glancing at the picture once more. "But this guy, he looks so majestic, almost perfect if you ask me. I wonder what he might have done for
LucyMy breath caught in my throat, my eyes widened in alarm. But before I could regain my balance and make sense of what had just happened, strong legs flipped me, and my back landed on the bed. He hovered over me shirtless, only his lower frame was clothed. The knife was now in his possession, the image of him slipped out of my jacket and he examined it in shock.“you were sent to kill me right,tell me who it is ? who in hell paid you to kill me?!” He growled, his eyes flashing a different color. I was werewolf enough to know it was his wolf trying to take over. His eyes burned with anger, and his expression was brutal enough to make anyone shiver in fear. But I was not just anyone.That strange feeling was still attacking my senses. Laia was saying some words I could not understand.“What is wrong with you, Laia?” I asked, using our telepathic connection. Every werewolf communicated telepathically with their wolves. She continued to say crazy things. Incomprehensible things. I tri
