Lucy“Let’s go back to the party, before it gets suspicious, especially my Luna. I wonder where she is at the moment?” He was already walking out of the balcony.Somewhere in the gardens right now getting fucked and screaming another man’s name, while you’re here threatening me to kill my mate, I replied spitefully in my head.I followed him out of the balcony and without wanting to rouse suspicions, I went the other way. I had barely gone far when my phone rang again. It was the Alpha. I turned to see him beckon to me. What did he want now? I eye rolled in my head.“Yes, Alpha?” I looked at him expectantly.He pulled me quietly to a private corner. “Remember, no one must know we work together. No one must see us together, until this whole thing clears up.”“Yes Alpha, I remember you making mention of it on the call the other night you called.” I observed our surrounding.How many guests had Elder Zukka invited? The whole world? There were so many people here and it was not even the b
LucyI needed my first glass. Maybe if I drank to the point of being tipsy, I could use that as an excuse to go home. I was in the ballroom. Everyone here looked elegant and dashing in their expensive gowns and custom-made suits respectively a also mysterious off course. The touch of the mask suddenly made everyone look like assassins who were here on assignments.Maybe it was just my thought, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be true.“Good evening, everyone. I want to thank you for coming out tonight to celebrate the success of my heart surgery with me.” Elder Zukka, the host, said as he walked into the room from an entrance close to the podium where there was a grand piano sitting magnificently.Guests cheered happily. My gaze roamed the room, covertly searching for two people. Alpha Jax and Armando. Alpha Jax I could easily identify, but Armando, that would be a challenge. Why would Alpha Jax think he came here? Did Armando have any business with Jax? Or someone else? Elder Zukk
Lucy Before I could make sense of what was happening, the light came back on. There stood Alfred, his lips were crooked in a chilling smile.I turned to see what had just happened and who had screamed. To my horror, Elder Zukka had a knife in his chest. Then the light went off again before I could adjust my sight to the gory scene. "Arrivederci, Night Star." I heard Alfred say. My bones chilled in fear. Who was that guy and how did he know who I was? A gun shot was heard. I sprinted through the scurrying and screaming crowd.It was too dark to see a thing, even with my heightened werewolf sight, but I had to find a way to understand what this was and heaven help me, if I saw that guy, I would have it out with him.My fucking heels were slowing me down. Why had I worn such heels on a night like this? Actually, it was because it was a night like this. I kicked my legs hard into mid-air, both heels came flying off.I was searching for an exit. The light came on again. I slowed to a s
Lucy Despite Laia's prancing in my head and the agitated beating within my chest, I turned with a punch. He easily caught it and shook his head.A dangerous glint flickered in his eyes. "You do not want to do this." His words, low and intentional, caused a thrill of shiver through my whole being.Suddenly feeling subdued, my fist went lax. Both guns were dropped to the floor. Without another word, he held my arm firmly, removing his gun from my skin and tugged me towards a side of the building."A big mistake you're making, Armando." I told him."Oh, you mean because I removed the gun?" He chuckle was low and there was something sinister about it. "I'd like to see you try.""I could try." I wanted to try and I knew I would match him fire for fire, but something held me back. Maybe it was the mate bond. Though we had not even accepted it.He pulled me along not quite gently to a quiet, private place. My back was pushed to a wall. "Now talk and this time, the truth."I struggled agains
ARMANDO“Get the fuck out of my way!” A growl left my lips. I was angry as it was and this guy from Alpha Jax’s gang was adding more to it by trying to engage me in a fight.A swift move of my left leg targeting his knee had him on his knees in an instant, his painful groan could be heard. But I showed no mercy still, I finished him off with a silver blade shaped as a lotus.From my inner jacket, I flung the small sharp weapon at him, aiming for one of his eyes. It caught him square on his left eye, I ran past him as he fell to his death.When my boys had called me out of the gardens where I was having good sex with Tasha, I knew it must be important.And it was. The Moon Goddess had once again played a smart one on me. The person I’d been searching for was my mate. It was supposed to be laughable but it was not.And that stupid Alpha Jax, he…“Running away?” A figure suddenly made an appearance before me.“Speak of the devil and he appears. Or rather think of him.” I shot him a glar
LucyMy bathroom space suddenly felt small. It was impossible for someone to be here but Laia was doing that prancing in my head yet again.And I’d come to learn that her prancing could only mean one thing — Armando. Not wanting to believe it, I turned and there he was, casually watching me take a bath. The scream that came from me had been a reflex action.“Hello, Night Star. We meet again.” He had on a smug expression.“How… h-how did…”“This.” He revealed the small black watch that was almost unnoticeable if one didn’t look properly. “Now ,are done bathing or do I have to wait for you to finish?”“I don’t know how you got in but I want you to get out!” I grabbed a towel from a nearby rack to wrap loosely around myself. Anger. It was better to feel anger than apprehension or intimidation or whatever weakening emotions threatening to buckle my knees.“I have all night to do this with you. So, if you truly want me out as fast as possible, you’ll give me what I need.” His gaze remai
LucyI went very still, my brain finding it hard to comprehend his lips on mine. He delved further using his tongue, trying to invade my mouth and dominate.At this point, I could only become too aware of my body completely exposed before him which should have worried me and poked at my sense of decency and dignity.But none of that happen. Even the shooting pain in my arm had reduced to a dull, throbbing one. My body wanted to edge close.Laia was doing a very active dance in my head. “Kiss him, Lucy. Kiss our mate.” I could practically hear her happy howls.Only my sense of rationality should be against this but even that was nowhere to be found.Lust kicked in, forcing my lips wide apart to grant him entrance.And he went in. His tongue clashing with mine as lips warred in a passionate kiss. I heard someone moan. Maybe it was him or me. I could not tell and right now, I did not care.As though we weren’t close enough, I tugged him by his shirt closer to me. He obeyed, his legs en
Lucy“No. No. No.” I let out a bitter chuckle that sounded harsh to my ears. “You will not lie your way out of this one. You’ve already made me look stupid enough.”I climbed off him and went to my closet to grab something to wear. Now I felt like a cheap slut. Fuck! How could I not have known? They had literally kissed their way past me. My mate and my Alpha’s wife? This was disaster! I hated myself for letting him almost have sex with me. It was all my fault. If only I had not allowed… If felt him behind me and the fact that his nearness was affecting me on so many levels angered me greatly.“Get the hell away from me!” I moved my body away from his touch. Who knew where those hands had been and touched on Tasha's skin? And now they had touched me. “Stop acting childish, Lucy. What is wrong with you?”Fueled by this anger, I whirled in a blind rage and slapped him hard across his face.“You’re a fucking bastard! You fucked another man’s wife right where your mate was occupied.”H
