Dolph stood against his car, just waiting and wondering what Lucas was thinking when he deserted Brenda. He knew Lucas was very smart when it came to handling issues like this but he still wondered what was going on in that shrewd mind of his.“Something has gotten to him, I’m fucking sure of it and it’s killing me slowly!” Brenda kept exclaiming in the car and Dolph kept wondering why Lucas had left him with this burden.“Lucas knows what he’s doing, Brenda. You need to relax.” That was all he could say to her but she was having none of it.“Fuck that, Dolph! Fuck that! What else would he want to do with that woman? Look at how proud she was and said that she could only walk with an alpha, what in the bloody hell was that?” She was like an erupting volcano.Dolph was annoyed and frustrated that that volcano was erupting in his beautiful car. “Her standards I guess.” He had replied flatly and Brenda’s eyes narrowed at him with anger.“You think this is a bloody joke, don’t you, Dolph?
That night and so many other long nights to come, Lucas found it difficult to sleep without thinking about Riley. Everything about him suddenly revolved around her. He played the scene in the car over and over in his mind and he loved every second of it. He had given her all his energy and she had reciprocated it up till the point of the peak of his satisfaction.He had sex with Brenda a lot of times in the past, but not once did he feel this way. Not once did he feel so fulfilled and satisfied. He already made up his mind, one way or the other, he had to have Riley. He suddenly didn’t care what the others would think, how they would react, or the injustice they would consider the act towards Brenda. His heart was with Riley now, it didn’t matter if she wasn’t one of them.There was something about Dolph, he was so cheeky and sneaky. He saw the lipstick stain on Lucas's lips and waited to confirm if it was the same lipstick color Riley was putting on and it was. There was nothing he c
“Earnshaw, I won’t even ask, I won’t even waste time telling you what I want, just get straight to the point and start explaining everything,” Brenda said the moment she stormed into the living room and saw Lucas.“You came later than I expected,” Lucas remarked calmly from the portable bar at the corner of the room.“My dad didn’t allow me to leave until the chauffeur was ready, he said I wasn’t allowed to drive when I was so enraged.” She replied to his surprise and perched on a couch, facing him with demanding eyes.A maid walked in at that moment and her face went white when she saw Brenda. She was about to retrace her steps but decided to announce her purpose there. She bowed to both of them and said to Lucas, “The breakfast table is set, King Lucas.” Lucas nodded and was about to say something when Brenda’s high-pitched voice came like a vicious whiplash, cutting through the air. “Get out this instant!” She yelled at the maid who trembled instantly and rushed out of the room,
“Alright, this is the time where you tell me the conjecture you’ve come to,” Lucas said calmly.“She hugged you!” Brenda yelled, her face glowering with rage. “The bitch hugged you! That’s the only way her scent could rub off so strongly. Now don’t fucking lie to me, Lucas, did she hug you or not?” “No, she didn’t.” He replied and Brenda was about to throw a tantrum and accuse him of lying when he added. “I did, I was the one who hugged her.”She stopped instantly, it was as if his words froze her in time. “Lucas, I’m not sure I heard you well, what did you just say?” She asked.“I hugged her.” He replied flatly, still eating as he did.“Why?” She asked, her shock getting the better of her anger. “Why would you do that?”“Because she was shivering in fright after the whole thing, she wasn’t herself and that was the only thing I thought of doing to calm her down.” He replied, his calmness only made her more agitated.“And why is it that your hug was enough to calm her down…why would y
For a week, Lucas didn’t hear from Brenda and she didn’t come to visit either. In the space of that week, his bond with Riley only grew stronger and even Dolph was wondering if Riley had replaced Brenda. Riley was excited, she enjoyed the attention she was receiving from Lucas and the reception from Dolph. She started seeing little of him as he got more busy and engrossed at the Pack office and more than once it had been just her and Lucas in the house.Everything was going smoothly for her, the fact that she saw little or nothing or Brenda made it even better. Once, Lucas had come across her in the hallway leading to his study and he caught her hands swiftly and pinned her to the wall. Riley was startled and she looked around with desperate, alert, and searching eyes.“What are you doing, King Lucas?” She whispered with an urgency in her voice. “Someone might just walk past and see us in this position.”“So? It’s my fucking pack after all.” He replied coolly, not even bothering to lo
Riley and Lucas’s love story went on for a few more days. Riley was happy, this was the best time of her life but it was going to take a drastic turn soon.One day, they had sex in Lucas’s bedroom at night and Riley collapsed on top of him, breathing heavily and with satisfaction. He let her naked body remain on his for a while, he too was exhausted and drained completely.After a while of silence that was only interrupted by their heavy breathing, she asked him a question.“What now, King Lucas?”“You know we’ve gotten so close, you can stop calling me that.” He said before replying to her strange question. “Call me Lucas.”“It’ll certainly taste funny in my mouth.” She remarked. “Lucas.”“Sounds good,” He said with a smile, then his face went serious. “Now, what did you mean by what now, Riley?”She took a deep breath, “It looks like you’ve broken up with Brenda, she hasn’t visited for some time now, it’s awkward.” “We had a huge argument the last time she was here, it didn’t end w
Lucas stared at Dolph who stared back with hesitant eyes.“Go bring her,” Lucas said.Dolph grimaced, “Oh common, Lucas, don’t send me to undertake this gruesome task.”“Go bring her, you wimp.” Lucas snarled and Dolph got to his feet.“Sure, Lucas, way to go for always leaving me with the herculean tasks.” He said and walked out of the study.He walked into the living room just in time to see her coming in through the front door. Brenda stopped when she saw Dolph, she looked dazzling in the short, black gown she wore. To his surprise, she smiled at him. “Hey, Dolph.” She said jovially.His eyes darted around in confusion, “Hey…Brenda.” What was going on? He wondered.She looked around, “Where’s Lucas?” She asked.“Come with me, we were busy studying before you showed up.” He said.“I didn’t mean to disrupt anything,” She said in a polite manner that didn’t sit well with him as she followed him.Dolph opened the door and let her in, he looked up and groaned before walking in and clos
Riley avoided Lucas for the rest of the day until she heard his car pull out of the driveway, it was the limousine and he was on his way with Brenda by his side. Although she felt hurt and knew she would always be second as long as Brenda was still here, she accepted the truth and she had said it to him herself. She was just his maid, his maid that was in love with him but apparently could never have a permanent place with him. Did it piss Riley off? Yes, very much, but she had some faith in what Lucas had said to her, he had assured her that he would work something out and she trusted him. She didn't have what to do, as long as Lucas wasn't in the pack, she was free to laze around, not until Dolph showed up later. "Oh, my fucking back!" He exclaimed as he walked into the living room. He didn't even look around, he already knew Lucas must be gone by now so he just walked straight to the bar. It was only after he had mixed Scotch and water for himself that he noticed Riley sitting
