* * * * * Lucy’s POV * * * * *
I paced around in the backyard. I had instructed Crystal to come through the backyard when she arrived.
The reason is because Logan is at home today, it is Saturday and he has decided not to go to work. He has been missing work regularly ever since I fired that Crystal girl.
It’s none of my business, the whole drama ends today because I will strangle her to death with my bare hands. I do not want her to come in contact with Logan in any way.
It’s certain that she has cast a spell on him but I will break that spell today when I choke her to death.
I checked my time and it was getting to noon already, what is taking her so long.
Just then I heard footsteps coming from the front side of the building. I don’t think it’s Crystal, I had informed her not to follow the front. I lied to her that Logan was still very upset with her and would hurt her if he set his eyes on her, so I am sure that she wouldn’t dare to come through the front gate.
The servants? It can’t be them either, I had warned them never to come to the backyard for the rest of the day, I did not want any interruptions or eye witnesses when I would kill Crystal.
The sound of the footsteps kept getting louder as the person got closer then I caught his scent and recognised him instantly.
Simon!
He worked out of the little corner and came to face me in the backyard. What does he want now?
“Next time while trying to stay incognito in the backyard, make sure to mask your scent or don’t you know how to do that?” He asked with a sly smile on his face.
“What do you want Simon? Just leave me alone.” I groaned.
His presence here would ruin my plans. I know we have worked together in the past but how do I know he won’t blow the whistle on me this time?
If he finds out that I killed Crystal, he would use that to blackmail me in the future and make his way back to in-between my legs.
“The question is… What are you doing here? I have no doubt that you are up to something evil so spill it.” He smirked.
I groaned. This fool just had to show up now, maybe I should just tell him, he already has some leverage against me, one more won’t hurt and perhaps I could get him to do it himself. Yes, that would be the best option.
“Fine, I am waiting for that human girl to show up,” I announced.
“Who? You mean Logan’s beautiful chick that is about to take your position?” Hh grinned.
“Say that one more time and I will cut your tongue then feed it to the vultures,” I threatened. He is so annoying that I feel like ripping him apart.
“Alright, I am sorry.” He laughed softly. “So why are you waiting for her? Do you have a surprise for her?”
“Kind of, I want to end her life,” I answered with an evil smile plastered on my face.
“What? You want to kill her?” He asked while whimpering.
“Yes and quit being dramatic, she will be here anytime soon. Do you want to help me execute my plan like old times?” I asked with a sly smile.
“No… I will pass, even if I am to kill anyone it can’t be her,” he said in refusal.
What does he mean by it can’t be her? Is he also into her?
“Why not? It’s not like you haven’t killed someone before,” I queried.
He laughed evilly. “Yes I have killed people in the past just like you have, but I would not stain my hands with the blood of an Innocent human girl.” He protested.
Innocent human girl? Who says she’s innocent?
“That’s not true Simon, she’s not innocent. Please do this for me and I will give you anything you asked for?” I replied with an appealing look.
If he does this, then maybe I can frame him up for her murder and also get him eliminated through the same means.
I am sure Logan will sentence him to death, then he will grieve over her and I will be there to give him a shoulder to cry on, we will go to bed and I will make him mark me in his vulnerable state. That’s a brilliant idea!!
“Really? Will you give me anything I wished for?” He asked with scrutinizing eyes.
Yes! I am sure I have got him where I want him.
“Yes Simon, you can have my body. You want me right? Well if you do it, I will be on your bed tonight, I will be all yours,” I said and bit my lips seductively, then I ran my hands through his chest down to his lower body.
“Hmmm… That’s a very attractive offer that is hard to resist but… nope, I am still not interested.” He smiled.
What? I can’t believe he rejected my offer, did he just say no to a night of sex with me?
First Logan refused to mate with me and now Simon also rejected my body which I gave in exchange to do such a small task.
“Fine, you can get lost, I will do it on my own and I wouldn’t even break a sweat. It’s your loss anyway, don’t come crying to me when you need help and don’t even think I would let you touch me again.” I snapped angrily at him.
“Hahaha,” he laughed in mockery. “Alright our future Luna, I will take my leave now,” he said and I scoffed.
“And no one should ever know about this or…” I threatened
“You will cut my head and feed it to the scorpions,” he concluded and sneered, then he walked away while laughing over it.
Arrrgh! So irritating.
Just then I noticed some movement in the little bush behind the Castle, I knew it was Crystal, I recognised her scent immediately.
Quickly, I hid behind a wall while peeping through a little space in between it to see when she closed in.
The plan is to take her by surprise, I will grab her and strangle her to death.
I noticed her get closer and jump in through the short side of the fence, she started to come in my direction and I hid properly.
When she was just a few steps away from me, she stopped and brought out her cell phone.
Oh no! If she calls me, then my cell phone would ring out here and she would know that I am hiding behind her. I won’t be able to take her by surprise as planned if that happens.
Quickly, I brought out my phone and put it in silent mode before the call came through. I did not answer the call, I was just waiting for the right opportunity to strike and the moment finally came.
She turned her back to me, facing the bushes. I leaped out of my hide out immediately and muffled her from behind.
I held her tight on the neck and closed her nose too with my palm so that she won’t be able to breathe.
If she doesn’t breathe for long then I am sure she would pass out and I can now finish her easily.
As I tried to do so, she struck me with a heavy elbow to the stomach then pushed me off hard, I fell down on my butt.
I was shocked with the kind of strength she possessed, No human could possess such strength.
Then she turned to face me and I froze, it can’t be possible! Her eyes… the color had changed to something purple.
Was she… Was she now a werewolf?
Oh no, this is not good. If she’s now a wolf then it will become very difficult for me to kill her.
And she is very strong which means she is from the higher ranks. The tables have turned on me, what do I do now?
To be continued!!
