Lucius's POVThe moment our lips touched, an electric current sizzled between us. It was so strong that it didn't just course through my veins and out, it settled in my heart.Her scent grew stronger like a deep blend of jasmine and roses."Mine..." My wolf growled within me recognizing the bond that intertwined around us.I had to pull away from her before my wolf took over. This wasn't like our mating ceremony in the pack. Humans wouldn't understand the primal sexual need that came when a male recognized their mate.As we pulled apart, she stared at me with clouded eyes. She must have felt the pull. She must have felt the wave of current driving beneath our skins... but she wouldn't understand it.The guests were clapping and screaming but we were in our little bubble. We could only see ourselves and no one else."You should smile... You will get to fuck her in the hotel... Calm your dick, brother!" Lucas whispered in my ears.I snapped out of my daze and forced a smile. Sophie and
Diane's POVAt the reception, I was practically fixed in one spot or anywhere away from Lucius.I couldn't stop my cheeks from turning pink each time our eyes met. The tension from the hotel had not lessened, rather it got even thicker.To think that we will have to stay together in that room again tonight and then go for the honeymoon...My heart made a major flip as I remembered that last update.Oh God!I moved my eyes to Sophie. She was with Lucas and a group of other guys laughing about something.I would have to find a way to drag both of them out for a conversation. I wouldn't be able to go on the honeymoon with Lucius.I was certain even he couldn't stand it. He was clenching his teeth and fisting his hands throughout our stay in the hotel room, except they wanted him to chew his teeth out.It couldn't work.I gulped down the wine in my hands and turned to where Lucius was talking to some people. We both had to speak to Sophie and Lucas."He is your husband now, if you want to
Diane's POVThe compromise passed and I couldn't be happier. A victorious smile remained on my face throughout the party. When we returned to the hotel, I slept peacefully because Lucius had somehow disappeared and my smile went along with it the moment I woke up in the middle of the night and found an empty bed.I got off the bed and wrapped a robe around my body. I went out to the balcony in search of him, but he wasn't there.I knocked on the bathroom door, waiting for him to respond —he had taken a lot of finger food. It was normal for him to develop a runny stomach."Lucius?" I called, but no one responded.My heart skipped a beat and panic started seeping in. What was going on? Where did he go?I tested the door knob and it opened. With a deep sigh, I pushed it wider and stepped in.Everywhere was silent. There was no sound at all. If he was using the toilet, I should have been hearing the trickling of water or shower or anything at all —but there was nothing."Lucius?" I cal
Lucius's POVThe tension in the car grew as we headed to the hotel, despite the conversation going on between Owen and Diane.Lucas was sitting with the driver at the front while Owen sat between Diane and me. But I could still feel the heat coming from her like he wasn't even there.My wolf was on edge. All I wanted to do was hold her in my hands and ease off the pressure in my heart. But I couldn't."What's that?" Her soft voice tickled my ears.I pulled myself out of my thoughts and looked at her. She was holding Owen's tablet, trying to understand what he wrote.Her brows were knitted together and she had a bright smile on her face as she turned the device around."You want us to go to the beach?" She asked him as she finally understood what it was.Owen nodded his head and smiled."That's a great plan but we will have to get to the hotel first. Your mummy has to freshen up and you need to get a nap," Lucas said from the front seat.Owen pulled his face into a frown and he scribbl
Lucius's POVMy eyes narrowed down at him."You have lost your mind!" I hissed as I pushed past my irritated brother and moved to open the curtain he had meticulously closed.I heard his footsteps coming toward me and I gritted my teeth in anticipation. He wasn't going to stop."But you want her. You can't deny it. I have seen it in your eyes!" Lucas' annoying voice filled the space around me.I rolled my eyes and moved to sit on the couch."Can you pour me a drink?" I asked, hoping to divert his mind to something else.He stopped hovering behind me and moved to the fridge to get a bottle of wine."It's not a crime to say it out loud you know... I am sure she is in love with you too," he beamed as he dropped the drink on the table."Humans don't fall in love just like that," I hissed. It takes time and effort from both parties."He rolled the wine glass in his hand and flashed me a small smile."Since when did you know so much about humans, Lucius?"I narrowed my eyes on him again. H
Diane's POVMy cheeks immediately turned red at this point. I wished the ground would open and swallow me whole.Kissing Lucius at the church during the wedding ceremony was one thing but doing it here on the beach was another.My heart made a flip and I felt it drop to my stomach as it started beating erratically."Stop teaching my son those kinds of things, Lucas!" Lucius growled and for no reason at all tingles spread to the top of my arm."I didn't teach the boy anything. You saw it yourself, he wrote it. I didn't!" Lucas defended himself."And when he does that can't you just tell him nicely that it is wrong? You should know...."The brothers continued to argue in the background but I tuned them out. Because each time Lucius parted his lips to speak, I found my stomach moving funnily.I was tempted to hold my chest to verify if my heart was still in place because the rate at which it moved scared me.I was losing my mind.How could his voice excite me like that?"Diane!" Lucas sh
Diane's POVMy throat suddenly went dry and at that moment I wished my cheeks showed less reaction.His brows were knitted together as he stared at me and it was then I got reminded that I had just yelled at him.I squeezed my eyes closed, "I am sorry, I thought it was Lucas...""Did he upset you?" His voice had suddenly dropped to that tone that triggered my hormones again.Oh God! Please help me..."Huh, yeah... I mean—" I paused as I realized that if I admitted it, I would be forced to tell him what had transpired between us.How was I supposed to tell him that his brother caught me falling for him?"It's nothing serious," I said instead, forcing a fake smile onto my lips."Are you sure?" Lucius asked, his voice now mixed with concern. "Lucas is just like Owen sometimes, he acts like a child. If he upsets you in any way please do not hesitate to tell me."I nodded and flashed him another one of my smiles. "Sure. I will tell you..."An awkward silence settled between us and I watche
Lucius's POVMy wolf was over the moon. He wanted to be let out. He wanted to kiss our mate, taste and feel every part of her but I kept him inside as I admired her beautiful body.Indeed, I was very lucky. The goddess sent my mate to me on a platter of gold. I didn't even have to struggle so much, she gave herself to me.My hungry lips returned to her lips as my fingers continued to caress her nipples, foundling with her breasts till she was completely breathless.I could tell in her eyes she wanted me just as badly as I wanted her. But I wanted to take things slow with her. Our first moment should be very memorable.I lowered her back to the bed and my fingers explored the beautiful curves on her body, tracing her delicate skin till I got to her soft mold.My wolf purred in satisfaction as my fingers rested on her clitoris."Hmm... Lucius..." She moaned holding my upper arm.I looked up at her and my eyes darkened. She had her lips pulled between her teeth and her eyes were closed a
