His Witchy Mate

I walked to the window, staring out into the night as if searching for answers in the darkness. This was a territory I was not used to, a realm of emotions I had avoided for so long. The burning feeling within me was unstoppable, a reminder of how tangled my thoughts had become. I never thought I’d be in a position where someone else’s actions would hold such power over me.

The hallway stared at you, empty and dimly lit. The urge to seek out Alicia, to understand the problem she caused, was a strong pull I had to fight against. I couldn’t afford to be swayed by emotions, not when the complexities of this world were so complex. My mind fought with itself, torn between curiosity and caution.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

In the end, I sent for Alicia, my resolve weakening in the face of this newfound fascination. As I returned to my room, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was walking on dangerous ground. The door closed behind me, sealing me within a space that felt as confining as my own thoughts. Tonight would be a long night, one where I had to deal with emotions I hadn’t anticipated.

I was in my room, ready to give in to the embrace of sleep when a knock on my door shattered the peacefulness of the moment. I approached the door and opened it to receive a message from Lucian. A mixture of curiosity and weariness built up within me. What could he possibly want now? I thanked the guy and suppressed a yawn as the day’s exhaustion settled heavily upon me.

Leaving the walls of my room, I stepped out into the dimly lit hallway, my steps guided by the destination I knew all too well – Lucian’s room. The knock on his door echoed, and his stern command to enter sent a shiver down my spine. I stepped inside, the tension in the air strong.

In the blink of an eye, I found myself pressed against the wall, my back firmly supported by its solid support. Lucian’s gaze bore into mine, his eyes ablaze with a desire that was hard to ignore. My heart raced, a mixture of confusion and anticipation swirling within me.

Before I could utter a single word, Lucian’s mouth claimed mine in a rough, demanding kiss that ignited a fire within me. The world around us seemed to blur as his lips moved against mine, a raw and untamed passion taking control. The kiss morphed from urgency to a slow, intoxicating exploration that left me weak and trembling.

When he finally broke away, I stumbled back, creating a distance between us. Conflicting emotions roiled within me – the undeniable attraction and the need to resist his advances. His gaze remained intense, his ragged breath matching the chaotic beat of my own heart.

“Why did you ask for me?” I asked. My voice was a mixture of worry and apprehension. His sigh and the way his fingers raked through his hair indicated his internal struggle, a battle of desires that I could only begin to understand.

“Leave,” he growled, a command that hung heavily in the air. I couldn’t deny the attraction that was coming from him, even as my instincts warned me to be cautious.

The tension between us remained, our unspoken desires simmering beneath the surface. “There we go again,” I retorted, a roll of my eyes betraying my attempt at defiance. “I’ll pretend this didn’t happen. No one will know you tried to take advantage of me.”

I turned away, my heart pounding, and made my way to the door. I pushed it open and stepped into the corridor, my thoughts racing as I tried to process the whirlwind of emotions that had just unfolded.

As the door closed behind me, I couldn’t help but feel conflicted. I needed him, and that realization left a bittersweet taste in my mouth. I scolded myself internally for even imagining such thoughts. After all, I was here for revenge, to make him pay for what he had done. I had sworn to myself that I would use Bryan to carry out my plan, to hurt Lucian just as he had hurt me. I took a deep breath and tried to focus. I had to be strong. I had to stay focused and complete the task I had set out to do.

Walking down the corridor, I couldn’t shake the memories that surged to the forefront of my mind. Lucian had an effect on me that I couldn’t ignore, even after all this time. I reached my room and entered, a sheepish smile gracing my lips. Tonight had certainly turned things upside down, revealing a side of me I thought I had buried.

As I lay on my back, gazing up at the ceiling, I let my mind drift back to the past – our first kiss, a memory etched in my heart. It had happened at the very spot where I was apprehended three years ago, a place laden with emotions. It was our secret meeting point, a place where we had shared laughter, secrets, and stolen kisses.

The smile on my face widened as I reminisced about those moments. Despite the challenges, the pain, and the uncertainties, there had been joy too, moments when it felt like it was just him and me against the world. As I closed my eyes, I allowed myself to bask in the warmth of those memories, finding solace in the nostalgia that wrapped around me like a comforting blanket.

It was past noon when I received the summons to Lucian’s presence. My initial instinct was caution, not particularly thrilled at the prospect of facing the imposing Lycan again. But considering the time of day, I figured that it was unlikely he’d attempt anything untoward. Reluctantly, I changed my mind and made my way to see Lucian. Despite my internal resistance, there was also a curious anticipation at the back of my mind.

“Get dressed for a picnic at the beach.” Lucian’s voice greeted me as I approached him.
