LUCIANI looked at Andrea as I held her in my hands. She looked completely stunned that Nikolai was standing at the door, and that annoyed me a bit. She had to focus on me, and not him. With a grunt, I used a tip of my finger to stir her face to mine. Her eyes were slightly unfocused as she looked at me."Andrea, I need this," I whispered as I tried to lean towards her, only for her to kick me lightly on the feet. Her gaze moved over to Nikolai once more. "Nikolai, let me explain," she whispered.I stared in amazement as she ran to his direction, but he was fast as he walked out of the training centre. What the fuck? Why did she feel so guilty because he was here? She was my mate, and I had the right to kiss her, hold her and do whatever I wanted with her. So...My feet connected to the tires on the floor, causing my hands to fly to my mouth. I hate this! A little voice in my head informed me that I had done the same to her a few days to her. And, I realised for the first time that

LUCIAN"Ok, man! There is some news about what happened in the North Area this morning. They were trying to distribute the..."I was softly tapped on the shoulder, and I looked up diatractedly. Raul had his brow shot lightly in defiance. "When did you come?" I queried, truing not to show how much he unnerved me."A long time ago. Where are you lost, brother?"I sighed as I shrugged Raul hand off, looking back at the video in front of me. "So many things are going wrong, Raul. There is an enemy in the pack, and we don't even know who it is," I whispered."What are you talking about?"I shoved the phone into his hands as I leaned back on the chair, slightly anxious for him to watch the video to the end. I may have some issues about sharing my mate with my brothers, but I knew I needed them to sort out this mess. I couldn't ignore that I couldn't handle any of these on my own. It was just not possible for that to happen."So, I don't see what you're trying to show me, man," Raul was sayi

LUCIAN "No!" I blinked in shock at Andrea's words. Was she refusing because I was involved in this? She avoided my gaze, instead, she was looking at my brother instead."What I mean is, I need to switch a bit, so it wouldn't look like I'm neglecting my pack duties. I have not been able to do anything for as long as I can remember, and it doesn't really look good on me," She mumbled.Raul laughed as he moved to her, placing a hand on her shoulders. "You worry too much, Luna Andrea.""I have to," she grumbled.He nodded lightly. "Yes, that's a quality of a Luna, but you have to understand that the people also gets that you have recently being in an accident, and they don't expect you to jump right into servitude right now. Don't be like Lucien who always thinks about work at every minute. It's so boring," Raul whined.I glared at his back as I clamped my hands together angrily. "I'm still here, you know?"Raul flicked his wrist at me. "I can see that, but you're not important right no

ANDREA"Is this not too much?" I asked softly.Lily shook her head at me. "No, it’s not. I think this is the third time the Second Alpha wants you to have lunch with him. It’s important to impress him since that is what brings you both together."I rolled my eyes. "I don’t want to impress anyone, Lily."She gasped as though I had said some sort of blasphemy and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her. Lily was just something else sometimes, and I liked her for that. Carefully, I shook out the puffs that was attached to the dress. It made me feel like a queen and not just the Luna."Are you sure this is not excessive? I mean, it’s just lunch and nothing more." I whined.Lily brushed her hands on my clothes as though it was not already straight. "Please, don’t say those things again. You’re out Luna and you need to dress the part. Moreover, The Second Alpha is a fashion freak. You can’t be looking like a vegetable where he is concerned," she whined.I smiled.It was at the same time tha

ANDREAI’ve been alone all day, and somehow it seemed like I was crowded. It was all thanks to everything that I had gotten from Lily. She had not meant any harm when she told me about Raul’s exes, but it didn’t mean I would be so thrilled at the prospect. I just hated that someone else had been in his life, and there was someone he held at a high regard. That didn’t seem fair."Luna, you’re not ready yet," Lily whined as she stepped out of the bathroom with a clean robe in her hand.Amelia and Lucinda chose that moment to show up with a tray of fruits. They looked in their new brown uniform. They bowed at me, and I smiled in response."Luna," Lily whined."I don’t have the urge to go anywhere today, Lily. I just want to stay in my room, and pretend that everything is fine. Can’t I indulge with that much?" I asked absently as I signalled for the maids to come closer with the fruit.I picked three berries, popping it into my mouth at once. It made a satisfying sound that reminded me o
