* * * * * Lucy’s POV * * * * *
“No! No! No!” I yelled and stomped my feet on the floor like an angry kid. Well, I was frustrated.
My plans failed again, it totally backfired. I had just watched the whole scene between Logan and Crystal from the balcony. I can’t believe they made up already.
I thought Crystal was already gone by now, I had no idea that the foolish girl was still at the gate. What the hell am I supposed to do now? I have no idea what they discussed, but from the way things ended there, I can tell that they are now on good terms.
“I am sorry to say this, but I told you so!” Simon chuckled.
I looked in his direction with my eyes shooting daggers at him. “You better shut the hell up, you know nothing!” I spat angrily.
“No Lucy, it is high time you came to terms with the truth, Crystal and Logan are mates, the goddess has chosen them to be together and you fighting against their union, is like trying to oppose fate.
You can’t fight destiny, it can only be delayed but it cannot be denied, so stop trying!”
“No Simon, I cannot accept that. I believe it’s my destiny to be the Luna of this Pack, whatever it takes, I have to accomplish that.” I stated in finality.
“Okay then, you can keep trying but from what I saw while up there, trust me, you cannot separate those two.” He laughed softly and I growled.
“Well let’s watch and see, at the end I would be Luna, you can bet on that!”
He chuckled. “Nah, I would rather bet on the possibility of pigs flying someday.”
I went to where he was sitting on the bed and pushed him on his shoulders, he lost his balance and got hold of my waist while falling.
We both fell with me on top of him.
“You are violent, I like it,” he muttered beneath me.
Our lips were not too distant and my long hair covered his face. Just then, I heard footsteps coming towards the guest room.
I jumped off him immediately. “I think it’s Logan, hide quickly!!” I instructed in a whisper.
His eyes darted around the room and rested on the cupboard, then it moved again to the large curtain on the left window.
He was probably contemplating on which was better to hide in.
“Go!” I muttered, while staring at the door.
Finally, he decided to hide behind the curtain. After a minute or two, I heard a knock on the door.
There was no need asking for identification, I already knew it was Logan. I could smell his scent.
I went to the door and opened it, he stared at me without saying a word, then he walked in and looked around the room.
I could see he had suspicions that there was someone else in the room, unfortunately for him, Simon is good at masking his scent.
Not even Logan would be able to catch his scent the moment he masks it, and that is exactly what he did now.
Logan sighed and came back to me. “What are you doing here?” He queried.
I groaned. “Well I need some time alone as I can’t understand what is wrong with you,” I grumbled
“Me? What do you mean?” He queried and a frown settled on his furrowed eyebrows.
“You know what I am talking about, your behavior earlier was strange. One minute, you are all over me, trying to get intimate with me against my wish and when I quit fighting to let you have your way, you suddenly jerked up and bolted out of the room, screaming mate. You treated me like some object that you could use anyhow you wish and I don’t like it!” I fired.
“Oh, I am sorry about what happened earlier, it’s in the past now so let’s forget about it. I couldn’t find you in the room so I guessed you would be here and it’s good I found you here, there is something I need to tell you,” he said and my heart skipped.
I hope he doesn’t want to ask me to leave now that he has seen his mate.
“What… What is it?” I queried with fear in my tone.
“Look Lucy, like we discussed before, we are supposed to separate because I have found my mate but for the sake of your reputation, I have decided that you can stay here in the guest room while my mate stays in my Chambers with me. As soon as you find your mate, then you can leave the Castle entirely.”
I felt hurt by his words. So he was going to replace me with Crystal? I won’t let this happen! I have to find a way to put an end to their relationship.
“So you found your mate, who is she? And where is she?” I asked in pretense.
“It’s Crystal, she’s a werewolf now,” he announced.
“What? Crystal is your mate and a werewolf too?” I asked, pretending to be surprised.
“Yes Lucy and she would be moving in tonight. I need you to arrange my room, take out your possessions and make something nice for dinner.”
“What?” I blurted in surprise. Did I hear right? What does he take me for? A maid?
“Yes, that is right Lucy. The maids would have done that but I clearly remember that a certain somebody gave them a holiday without my notice, so now it’s left for you to do it.” He smiled.
“What if I say I won’t?” I retorted.
“Oh, in that case, then I am afraid that you would have to leave the castle entirely, so choose between making dinner and going back to your Pack,” he stated.
“This is not fair Logan, it’s not fair at all!” I groaned.
“I think it is, now you better get to work before we lose daylight, I will be upstairs if you need anything.” He smirked and walked out of the room.
“Arrrghhh!!” I yelled. “Bastard!” I cursed and closed the door.
Just then, I heard someone burst into laughter from behind the curtains. I had totally forgotten that he was there, now he’s going to come and add salt to my injury as usual.
He came out of his hideout still rolling with laughter, then he fell flat on the bed. I felt like jumping on top of him right now and squashing him to death, too bad I am not fat enough.
“Will you stop that already? You dummy!” I yelled.
“Okay… Okay… I will… Hahaha, I will, give me a second,” he stuttered amidst laughter.
I folded my hands and crumpled my face. “Son of a b****!” I cursed softly and bit my lower lips.
Finally he stopped laughing, although he was still smiling, trying to suppress the laughter. I don’t even see what is so funny.
“Calm down Lucy, even though you look so adorable with that angry face, I think you should relax. I personally do not want you to get mated with Logan but since I love you, I would support you until you realize that your dreams are impossible to achieve.”
I scoffed. “I don’t know what to do now, everything has been ruined. If Crystal moves into the castle tonight, Logan would have sex with her and in the process he would complete the mating ritual, he would claim her by putting a mark on her neck then it will be over for me,” I said sadly
“Don’t say that Lucy, breaking up with Logan is not the end of your life, but if you really want to stop him from mating with Crystal tonight, then I know a way you can do it.” He smirked.
I had no doubt that something crocky was being cooked in his head.
“How? Please tell me?” I pleaded.
“Come closer,” he instructed with a smile plastered on his face. What is he up to now?
I went closer to him and he whispered something in my ears, my face brightened immediately.
“Oh my god, that’s a brilliant idea.” I yelled.
I grabbed his cheeks and kissed him deeply on his lips, his eyes widened in surprise.
“Wow, all that for me?” He smiled.
“Well it’s never going to happen again, so don’t fantasize over it.” I blurted and rushed out of the door, leaving him behind in the guest room.
This is going to be fun!!
To be continued!!
