Celestine's POV:
I groaned as someone tapped my shoulder.
"Let me sleep." I mumbled. I felt a hand shaking my shoulder and I hurriedly pulled the blanket above my head. In a swift movement, the entire blanket was pulled off me and woke up startled. I rolled my eyes as the smell of that monster hit me. I angled my neck to meet his intense gaze as I scowled.
"What do want?" I whined still half asleep.
"Get up." He shouted bursting my eardrums.
"I don't need you to come shout in my room. I can wake up and do all my work myself. And do me a favour don't show me your face again even better let me go." And thankfully my little speech was enough for that asshole to leave. I took a quick shower and slowly left my room. I was still a little weak but I was sure I could get down the stairs.
Tying my hair into a bun, I took a step downstairs and my leg slipped. A gasp escaped myself as I closed my eyes to feel the impact which never came. Instead I felt strong arms pulling me in is embrace as I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. His eyes accessed every part of my face before .I freed myself from his hold. I mumbled a 'thank you' and turned t descend the stairs when he stopped me.
"Do you want to come with me to the pack house?" I narrowed my eyes and glared daggers at him as the pain I felt because of him came back to me.
"I don't want to look at your face much less go with you somewhere." I walked towards the couch as a hand pulled my arm harshly making me turn towards him.
"Next time you talk to me don't forget to give me respect." He said in a dangerous voice.
"Next time just don't talk to me." I shouted. He stepped towards me closing the distance between us and pulled me towards his chest as his hands rested on my waist. I tried to wiggle out of his hold. But he just tightened it more and more. Our bodies were touching each other and the butterflies in my stomach were going haywire. I tried harder and his hand slipped under my blouse. The nerves in my stomach were in knots as my face was flushed due to what he was doing. But I didn't stop struggling. I will not give up this time. I hit his chest with my fist and shouted, " Let me go."
He threw me onto the sofa like a piece of garbage and walked away.
"Get ready in ten minutes." He ordered me. I was sheathing with anger when a devilish plan occurred in my brain. I slowly went to my room to take the longest shower I've ever taken.
I smiled as I heard someone shouting, "You're going to regret this."
"My ears are going to get damaged if you keep shouting like this."
"I will shout." He said in a much higher volume."
"Shout." I shouted too as he groaned in irritation due to his super and better hearing.
"Continue doing this and I'll pick you up just the way you will be."
"Oh you won't."
"But I will." I heard him say as the lock clicked. My eyes widened as he entered the washroom with his signature smirk. I hid under the water in the tub as I motioned him to go.
"If you don't come in five, I'll throw you over my shoulder and dress you myself."
"Just go." I shouted hiding my body as as I could. I sighed after he left and quickly wore my clothes. I took the towel and dried my hair while leaving the bathroom. My eyes met his intense gaze which then went over my exposed neck. Goosebumps rose on my skin and I covered my neck with my hair. I hated to admit but he had an affect on me even after everything. He left the room and I followed behind him.
A Porsche stood before us in all its glory. Lucian went towards car and caressed its hood as he spoke, "Baby we have a new visitor today. Did you have any problems coming with James?"
I cleared my throat and raised my eyebrows as he looked at me in irritation for interrupting him.
"Sit down and handle her with care. She's worth more than you life." He said. I was shocked because I felt hurt when this is the only thing I've been feeling since I met him. I sat inside the car and after five minutes I couldn't stoop my anger from surfacing.
"Who do you think I am?"
"A weak wolf who has suddenly become my responsibility."
"You don't have to be responsible for me. I am independent and I don't need you. Let me go or I'll run away." He stopped the car abruptly as his hand wrapped around my throat.
"You're not going anywhere and if you try to escape I'll keep you in the dungeons for your entire life. " When I didn't answer he applied some pressure on my throat and I croaked out an 'okay'.
"Where is Eva?"
"She has some work to do. I'm surprised she let's you call her Eva."
"Why?"
"She only lets me say it."
"What is the relation between the both of you?" I asked.
"I'm her brother." I stilled as every bad thing I had ever rambled about Lucian in front of Eva came to me and I paled. In no time, we reached the pack house and I ran out of the car straight into a set of strong arms. It held me gently as I raised my head to look at amused green eyes staring down at me.
"Who might you be beautiful lady?" I smiled but before I could answer someone supposedly mate pulled me out of his arms and held me close to him.
"It is none of your business." Lucian said rudely. But the guy completely ignored him.
"It was pleasure meeting a beautiful woman like you. Hope we'll have a better introduction next time." He smiled charmingly and I smiled back hesitatingly. My gut feeling was saying me that there was something wrong with this guy. He didn't look as cheerful as he was showing.
Now that he was gone, the hand holding my waist and sending shivers all over my body left making me feel cold.
"Let's go." He said not looking at me.
