Diane's POV"So she lives here now?" Sophie asked as we sat at the pool, enjoying the sun on our skin."Well, apparently, she does and there is nothing I can do about it!" I puffed, wishing I could just turn back time and return to the moment I had accepted to work for Redskin in the first place.This way, I wouldn't have met Owen and Lucius wouldn't have asked me to marry him.I wouldn't be in the dilemma I was in right now."And Lucius hasn't said anything?" Sophie's voice slowly took up a higher pitch as she kept glaring at me with disbelief dancing in her eyes.I rolled my eyes and relaxed further into the outdoor chairs we were sprawled on. I couldn't go into the pool because of my injury but I insisted on coming out here because I knew this was the only place we could have a civil conversation without being interrupted by Barbie."Hold on, she lives here. Lucius is quiet and you have folded your arms and done nothing?" Her eyes moved over my body in fast movements before she sto
Diane's POVThe cut on my leg was pretty much healed and I could move around in my room properly without leaning or heaving with pain, but I still called Lucius for everything especially when Jolynn was around.She had come to the house with a purpose, now I was going to destroy that purpose."Why do you have such an evil look on your face? Who are you planning to murder?" Lucas's voice sliced through my mind and I looked up at him."Is it that obvious?"He chuckled and brought the plate of fried finger food he was eating to the couch where I sat."Let me guess, it's Jolynn, right?" He asked, wiggling his brows.I let out a sigh and nodded. "I have realized she is trouble you know... And I now feel bad that I had given Lucius such a hard time."He passed his hand around my shoulder and shook me slightly. "Lucius is fine. Well, he will be when you guys talk about it and I have just the perfect plan in my head."My brows knitted together and I glared at him. His plans were always crazy.
Lucius's POVMy cock twitched in my pants as I followed the movements she made with her mouth. She was so sexy, she didn't even realize it."What? I shouldn't, so what?" I whispered, letting her eyes sweep over me in a way that send shards of emotions coursing through me.All my wolf wanted to do in that instance was to take her. Right there.But I couldn't. We still had a lot to talk about.She had sort of forgiven me for the Jolynn issue but that issue hadn't been solved yet. Jolynn was still in the house. I had to find a way to send her out."Hey?" She whispered, snapping her fingers before me. "What's wrong?"I shook my head and smiled at her. "It's nothing."Her eyes studied mine for a few seconds and then a frown settled on her beautiful face. "You are lying. What are you thinking?""I am thinking of a thousand things," I whispered as my eyes darkened with my emotions. It was always a rollercoaster with her. One moment, I was thinking about a threat. The next I wanted to fuck h
Lucius's POVThe security had been increased just like I had instructed and I worked harder, moving between my pack and the human city to make sure no loopholes were left open.As the day to the party drew closer, I couldn't help the dreadful feeling that ate at the back of my mind.With Patrick lurking in the corners, I knew this was a very risky mood.I thought of canceling it but I soon rejected that idea. It was the best way we had developed to push Jolynn out of my life. If we canceled, I would have to keep dealing with her and Patrick."Lucius?"Diane's voice broke through the thick layers of thoughts in my head.I raised my head from the table and found her leaning against my office door with a worried smile on her face.My heart immediately jolted and I was up before I even realized it."Diane, what's the matter?" I asked as I moved closer to her.I took her arm and walked her into the office. I offered her a seat and pulled another close to her so I could look at her face."W
Lucius's POVShe was staring straight into my eyes, her focus never faltering as if she was testing my control. My wolf was on the edge. He was ready to tear her excuse of a dress off her body and just take her but those thoughts had to wait as the driver's voice filled outside of the car."Welcome to the Redskin club my King," he said and Diane snickered triumphantly."Oops, it seems the King won't be having any fun time," she whispered before moving her body away from mine.Her cheeks were tinted but she looked like she was having a swell time torturing me.I clicked my tongue nevertheless and pushed the door open before the driver could come for it. Then I stretched my hand toward her."Come on," I said, smiling at her. "Everyone's waiting."She stepped out of the vehicle with all grace and poise like she was made for occasions like this. As I watched her every subtle movement, I realized yet again that the goddess didn't make any mistake at all.Diane was perfect."If you keep sta
Diane's POV "Sophie, where are you taking me?" I whined as she continued pulling my hand along the corridors of the club."Patience, love. It's a surprise!" She replied with excitement.I couldn't tell if she was just drunk or she was just over-excited about something, I couldn't put a finger on it."It's just a few more meters," she giggled as she continued pulling me.This side of the club was less crowded than where we were coming from but it didn't help my nerves, rather it just made it worse.I was smiling at her words and excitement but it didn't reach the back of my mind. Fear was slowly crawling into me and the further we went I regretted moving with her.I looked behind us and I mentally calculated how far I had gotten from Lucius.The red and blue lights of the club danced around making the corridor look spooky to me. I turned my head back around and I wanted to tell Sophie to stop when she did stop... on her own."We are here!" She giggled and turned to me with her finger
Lucius's POV"Nice to meet you," I said to the strange man. He nodded and whispered something to Jolynn and she let out a soft giggle."Of course, go on and have fun! I'll be here with the King!" She said and came to sit on the edge of my couch.I turned to Lucas for help and he signed to me to hold my position. It wasn't time yet."Oh, I had also invited some council members. They should be here soon," she chirped and I snapped my head in her direction."You did what?"She shrugged and dared to place her left hand on my face briefly before she took it away. "You shouldn't be worried. I did it because I knew it would be important. It will help you keep your sit," she explained.I wanted to scream my head off at her but I held myself back. This was her last day. After tonight, I wouldn't ever have to worry about her."Lucius, we should dance... We are going to have a long night. We should have some fun!" She said and got on her feet. She made to pull me to my feet but I pulled my hand
Lucius's POV "Ahhh!" Sophie's wails filled my office as she continuously cried. "She was right behind me! How did she go missing!? Oooh..."We had all moved out of the club and proceeded to make my office the war room.Sophie was sitting on the floor, her theatricals getting on my nerves as she cried louder than someone who had lost a child.I knew it was just the alcohol making her do everything she was doing but I needed her to be sober and quickly."Sophie, I need you to take this," I offered her a pill and a glass of water.It was supposed to sober her up in seconds but she was refusing to take it, hence my frustration."No!!" She shrieked, turning her head away from me. "I am not going to take pizza when my friend is missing! No! I won't do that!"My patience was on the last straw but I had to push myself because this was Diane we were talking about. If there was any chance that we could get her from wherever she was, then this was our only shot."Sophie, this isn't pizza. It is
