Valentine Winters P.O.V
The room door busted open making me push Lucifer away from me on reflex. He fell down on the floor hissing in pain before scowling.
He and I both turned our heads to the other side only to find a very timid looking Japanese lady which Iâm guessing is the housekeeper. My breathing was still ragged from what just happen.
I tried to remember what had gone wrong.
My eyes widen in shock.
How could I have said something like that ? Iâve never even had sex before. Iâm still an untouched virgin.
Hell, he was my genuine first kiss.
I calmed my breathing down and looked over at her.
Her small eyes went wide and I could see her face turning red by the second.
âSorry, I shouldâve knocked a couple more times before I barged in. Iâm kinda new at this job.â She said looking elsewhere scratching the back of her neck.
Lucifer stood up, dusting off his pants with his hands and straightened his shirt before walking over to her stiffly. My wolf was already on high alert wanting to grab him further away from another female.
Her possessiveness kept growing on each step that he was taking towards her.
âWhat do you want ?â He asked her in a straightforward serious tone.
âI want her.â Another voice cut in.
My eyes immediately landed on my dads figure that approached the room. My eyes instantaneously welling up with tears of how much happiness I was feeling that finally, I was gonna be saved.
My dad told the girl that she wasnât needed anymore and she walked out from the room in quick steps.
Sobs hysterically escaped my mouth as I attempted to run towards him. I was blocked by a tall figure. I tried to go around him but it was useless before he grabbed me with my hips and wrapped his right arm around me.
âDaddy.â I cried out struggling to get away from his grip, wriggling my best.
âRelease her now.â He boomed with his alpha voice, his eyes turned charcoal black showing his wolfâs protectiveness for his kin; his daughter.
âSheâs mine.â Lucifer growled.
âYou have no experience fighting with a wolf unloaded.â My dad stated, fur already sprouting out from his skin.
âYouâre not taking her away from me.â He snarled gripping me tighter against him.
My dads wolf growled out ferociously.
I could see it was his wolf that has already fully taken over. He paced left and right, âIf I attack you, Iâll create war between the packs!â He groaned.
âI have full authority on her than you. She doesnât love you. Give her back to me now.â He commanded, claws elongating from his fingers.
I could hear Luciferâs heart beating so fast as he took in the words of my dad. His chest weaved up and down as he breathed in and out hard.
His eyes moved and connected with mines, before his pink lips started moving.
âMe or him ?â He asked.
I was frozen in the spot.
My eyes were stuck on his as he waited for my answer impatiently and so was my dad.
âMe or him ?â He repeated a little louder tightening his hold on me making me wince.
âH-him.â I whispered.
His eyes held betrayal as I spoke that word. He was no more glaring or staring at me. His grip on me loosened before he took a couple of steps away from me.
Shaking his head slowly in disbelief while his eyes showed betrayal. The moment he took a step away from me, I felt my heart break into millions of pieces.
My hands instinctively reached to stop him without thinking but he put his hands up before shaking his head for me to donât.
âI will never interfere in your pathetic life no matter if youâre dead.â He whispered.
My breath was held in my throat as those hurtful words spilled out from those lips.
âN-no..â I cried before my father wasted no more time in dragging me away from him, back into his car and on our way back home.
I stood under the hot water spraying above my head in the shower that flowed all the down.
Once I was back home yesterday, everyone hugged me. My mom was so worried, I could see the dark circles around her eyes and bags from lack of sleep. This happens every time she tends to worry about something.
I felt numb.
I was contented that I was back home but something in me felt lost. I felt lost and I wanted to be found again.
I closed my eyes, and all I could ever see was his beautiful electrifying blue eyes that captivated me. The same eyes that was filled with betrayal and hate once again. My heart sores in pain. Tears welled up in my eyes.
What do I do ? Iâm home now.
Iâm safe.
Heâs a monster.
I had escaped from him.
I was saved by my dad.
âHeâs our mate.â My wolf whimpered.
â²He may have hurt us but he did sacrifice everything for us, he has no one now. All he wanted was us.â She cried.
Hearing this only made it ten times worse for me as tears flowed down like waterfalls. My knees bucked underneath me as I sat down on the floor, no longer having the strength to even stand.
What have I done ? Iâve abandoned him. Iâve abandoned my mate.
Lucifer Zades P.O.V
The moment that word left her mouth, I was broken. She chose her dad over me. Iâm her fucking mate.
She was supposed to be with me.
She betrayed me!
Everything Iâve sacrificed and itâs for nothing ?
I pulled on my hair frustrated. I said I wouldnât interfere in her life anymore even if it meant death. Yet, I wanted nothing more than to bring her back now. I wanted her with me right this instant.
âYou let her go!â My wolf blamed.
âShe chose him over me.â I said.
âYouâve made a wrong choice in letting her go.â He stated.
âYou donât get it, sheâs in heat. Here sheâs safe with us. There, the pack is surrounded with males waiting for their turn with her. Soon, sheâs gonna be writhing in pain screaming out for us to ease her.â He told.
âWhat do you want me to do ? Go back for her ?â I enquired.
âYes!â He exclaimed.
âNo.â I shook my head.
âShe needs us.â He pleaded.
âStop pestering, itâs not like she loves us.â I declared.
âNor do you love her.â He sneered.
âI will never love anyone.â I say.
âThen, how do you aspect her to love you ?â He questioned.
I went silent.
âNo feed backs ? Mr. Know It All?â He mocked.
âIâm done with you.â I blocked him out.
Do I love her ?
Thatâs impossible.
I donât love anyone.
I want her but itâs definitely not called love.
Itâs this dull-witted bond. Yet, I need and want her.
I canât help myself.
I sighed.
Sheâs playing with my mind.
What should I do now ?
âFind herâ My wolf answered.
âBefore I take over and do it myselfâ he threatened.
âWeâll start at dawn.â I confirmed.
Valentine Winters P.O.V
I kept thrashing around on my bed as heat starts spreading around my body. Every part of me was being sensitive.
I felt so weak, fragile and feeble.
My wolf kept howling for her mate, she was feeling most of the lost and pain. She was on heat. It made sense to her reaction with Lucifer.
Gosh, even thinking about him made my body burn all over again. I whimpered as more heat was spreading and it has just been the second day Ive been away from him.
Yet,puzzled to why I miss him. He has hurt me so much that I should be grateful to be here.
Iâm confused. Why is this happening to me ?
âOwwâ I whimpered as I felt like hot needles poking around my abdomen. I curled into a ball, begging for the pain to go away.
I want to feel free, even after Iâm out of his grasp I still donât feel free. I feel like my heart and soul had been broken into two worlds.
I bit my lip and looked out the window that was across the room. The full moon was shinning brightly, staring down upon me.
My dad ordered me to be in the room so no males will look for me. Only my mom, maid and female friends are allowed to visit me.
I so need my guy best friends. I love them so much, there are the true friends that I will give my life for.
Can I just call them ? Dad doesnât really have to know and itâs just them. I know they will never take advantage of me.
I called the maid up and asked her to call them. She protested at first but when I begged she said okay.
I heard steps coming up after a while.
The door knob twirled and in came Octavius. I sat up on my bed while holding my aching stomach. He closed the door behind him.
âValentine.â He said and walked over to me in long strides before sitting on the bed and giving me a warm hug.
âIâm fineâ I assured before wrapping my arms around him. It felt so good to be seeing him. He still didnât let go of me and I chuckled a bit.
âWhereâs Zachary ?â I questioned. âHe has some errands to attend.â he answered near my ear and let go of me.
âYou really have lost weight you know ? You should eat more. Are you hungry ? Do you want anything to eat ? You do know I can cook right ?â He continued and I smiled before shaking my head.
âItâs okay, maybe I can try out for modelling.â I beamed trying to make the mood more cheerful.
âYou and your modelling.â He rolled his eyes at me and I smacked his head.
âJealous much ?â I grinned.
âPlease, Iâm hotter than you.â He scoffed.
I gaped at him âI am grootâ I witticism.
âKidding, for a guy I amâ He winked.
âSo what happened ?â He enquired.
âI really donât want to talk about it.â I frowned looking down.
âDid he hurt you ?â I can hear a little growl escaping his lips as he asked me this question.
I didnât answer him as I just keep staring at the blanket taking over my interest.
I saw him clenching and unclenching his jaw before standing up.
âWhat kind of sick mate does that!â He growled, obviously infuriated.
âIf only you were my mate, I wouldâve taken care of you like a princess.â He blurted out.
He placed his forefinger under my chin making me look up into his green emerald eyes.
âBut Iâm still glad youâre part of my life as my best friend.â He smiled and I returned a smile of my own.
âWhy are you locked up in your room ?â He questioned raising an eyebrow at me.
âWell-â I started.
âOw.â I whimpered as the pain hit me and heat spread throughout my frame.
âWhatâs wrong ?â Octavius sat beside me, concerned.
I just kept whimpering more.
âOh no, you shouldnât have summoned me here at this time.â He groaned.
His emerald eyes flickering black as he tried to fight over his wolf.
âYouâre heat. Itâs too muchâ he grunted before trying to scurry away from me.
âGet out.â I tried to say.
Suddenly his eyes stayed pitch black and I shivered in dread from the lust that showed in it.
He was breathing heavily.
