“Your so-called husband is so bitter, Maddy. I don’t like him,” Jaxon said so blatantly.“Likewise, mongrel.” Lucius then held my waist. “We should get going now, Maddy, or else we will be late on our flight.”“Right. We’ll go now, Jax.”“I suppose you will be back soon? Even though I don’t like your smell now and your husband, you are still my friend and I want to hangout with you.”“Yes, we will be back soon.”Jaxon’s forehead creased as if he was confused by something. “We? What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me…” His dark gaze dropped to Landon and I guess I knew what that look meant. Though before I can open my mouth for my answer, Landon was quicker. He spoke first.“Yes, we will go back. We. I will be staying with my wife wherever she is. Do you have a problem with that?” Lucius retorted in an arrogant tone.Jaxon’s jaw clenched as if the news he received was really bad.“In Doris’ house? Seriously, Maddy? You would let someone as dangerous as him stay close to your mom? Have
“I guess Dad is at work, maybe it’s better if we g directly to his office,” I said when we arrived at the airport.“He’s just in his house. I already asked Henry to dig a bit so we would know about his schedule, so don’t worry. He’s not busy today," Lucius said.There was already a car waiting for us when we went out of the airport. I thought that maybe he rented it or something, but maybe he has so many connection in different parts of the world as for he is so influential. When it comes to influence and being an elite, I don’t get surprised anymore when it comes to Lucius. I know it’s already a part of his life and I should get used to it.Just like what Lucius said, Dad was indeed in the house. Right when I went out of the car, I smelled human scent right away and picked Dad’s. I stopped breathing shortly though because I’m still afraid that his blood or anyone’s blood inside the house will make me go crazy. That’s the least thing I want to happen so I need to be careful as much as
I looked at Lucius and waited for the answer too, confused because we hadn’t talked about this.“I want to ask for Maddy’s hand in a marriage.”My lips fell apart. That wasn’t part of the script!“Pardon?” Dad asked, his forehead was creased. The surprise in his expression told me that he clearly heard it but he couldn’t believe it.“I want to ask Maddy's hand in a marriage,” Lucius said again.“But she’s just in college! She’s not ready for that, I’m sure!” Natalia butt in as if her opinions will be honored. I raised a brow and looked at her sharply. For all she knows we’re already married.“Do you know about this, Maddy? Have you two talked about this?” Dad looked at me.I couldn’t answer right away. I glanced at Lucius and his eyebrow was slightly raised as if he was urging me into something. At the end, I looked at Dad and answered.“Yes, Dad. We already talked about this and… I also want to marry him.”Natalia’s eyes widened as if she couldn’t believe me. What? Was she expecting
I bit my lower lip looking at how shocked Mom was when Landon told him that we are getting married. If she had known that I already married Lucius without her and Dad's consent, for sure she had collapsed.I stared at my Mom's pale face and waited for her reaction. I smiled a little. If I had known, she would have slapped me once or did something if only Landon wasn't there. Not that she's against of me marrying, but this sudden marriage surely shocked her to the bones that she couldn't speak right away."What, Maddy? You are getting married?!" The horror was evident on her voice and I have seen that one coming. "But what about your studies? Your career? You are just nineteen for goodness' sake! And what? You were just together for a week or so! Don't you think it's too early? This is so sudden!" Mom was getting hysterical.I held her hand to calm her down. I chuckled and looked at Lucius who was just staring at the both of us, very calm and composed as if this would not shake his pla
"What did you to Felix?" I asked the moment Lucius went inside my room that night. I fought the urge to ask that earlier because of course I can't drop him in front of Mom."Me? No. I did nothing." He shrugged and sat on my bed. He urged me to go near to him. I did. He pulled me in between his legs and made me sit there. I was sitting sideways though because I want to look at his face while talking to him."You did nothing? You sure? You don't sound convincing enough to me." I'm very sure he did something. I can see it in his eyes. Although we are just together for several weeks, I've learned many things about him especially that look in his eyes. He naturally looks dangerous and evil-like, but it's different when he is planning something or he did something. Of course I know the man I love. I love him so much to memorize every detail of him."Fine. Yes, I did something. I just did a little play so that Doris will see that the man she love is not worth it and nothing but a cheating as
"Wait. Someone is tailing us," Lucius suddenly said in the middle of our way back to Lynnwood after we had a meeting with Miss Lucy in Seattle."I also figured that, Alpha. The silver Mercedes is tailing us since we left the atelier," Henry confirmed.I looked at the back and really found the silver car tailing us blatantly. I don't know whose car it was though since I don't know anyone who has a car like that. But if in any case, maybe it's Jaxon?"Can you smell his scent?" I asked because I can't smell it myself because I wasn't breathing. There are people around and I'm still afraid of what I might do. I don't want to be reported in the television first thing tomorrow for acting like a mad animal in front of the public. Sure Lucius could do something about that. Like delete the footages and erase the scene in people's mind, but he can't resurrect a dead person – if ever I would kill one."I don't smell any werewolf's scent. It's just a human. A boy."I got confused. "A boy? You mea
"Huh! And you have the guts to threaten someone in the middle of Washington streets? What the hell is this, Maddy? You will marry this kind of person? You got to be kidding me!"I shut my eyes and tried to control my temper. They are both at the edge. I have to remain calm at least."Well, at least he won't marry a cheater. I suppose Maddy prefers a man like me than a man like you.""I didn't mean to cheat on her! It was a mistake, Maddy. It was just a freaking mistake and it was because of Natalia's doings…" Theo tried to convimce me but I don't think that issue is still relevant now. I don't care about it anymore and I thought he had already moved on too, so I don't know why he is bringing it up now. The case was long over and closed. I don't want to talk about it anymore."Enough, you two!" I glared at them. My gaze stopped at Theo. "Look, Theo. I don't know why you're bringing this up, but I'm all over it now. I got a new life and I don't care about the past anymore. I couldn't sa
We talked more about the details. I was glad I was slowly learning to be good in acting like a human and never minding my thirst for human blood. Henry prepared many blood packs for me though in case I would go wild because of thirst. So far, I haven't experience that kind of thirst yet. I guess I can control it a little now. And I guess it also added that I consume blood every night to ease my thirst.In the middle of the night while I was sleeping alone in my room, I woke up when I heard my window clicked. I was alert and rose into a sitting position at once. I was shocked when I saw who entered my room.Memories in the past flooded my mind. My lips parted because my heart ached at the thought."Maddy…" Simon's voice was full of sadness and longing, I wanted to cry."I thought you would come back after you talked to him but I was wrong. I waited but you never did. And then I got the news that youBut I couldn't bring myself to go near him.We were just there. Standing five feet apar
