Alpha of the Shadows (Lucianna) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Lucianna’s POV

What is he looking angry at when I should be the one feeling that?

I grabbed my phone, taking my eyes off him.

“Uh, I’ll call you later about my decision, Dy.”

“Sure. Everything okay?”

I bit my lip, feeling nervous all of a sudden. Why didn’t I felt Jacob’s arrival? Does my senses get numbed, as well?

“Y-Yeah. Later, okay?”

“Sure. I miss you, Luce. I hope you think about the offer, can’t wait to see you-”

“Yes! Bye!”

I quickly turned off the call and bit my lip hard. Damn, why did he had to say those words?! Jake was here! Ugh, it’s not like he knew but

still…

I decided to continue eating without looking back to Jacob again.

My senses heightened when I felt him move, walking towards to me. His steps are slow, it felt deadly like a dark aura was emitting from his body and lingering to the room. To me.

I cleared my throat when I felt being suffocated with my loud heartbeats.

“I-I didn’t know you’ll come o-over. I did not bother cooking b-breakfast for you.” I stutter so I sipped on my glass of water.

I felt Jacob’s warmth behind me. My eyes screwed shut and I cursed under my breath, feeling his effects on my body and my nervousness.

Why are you being nervous about, Lucianna! The guy cheated multiple times and there’s no guilt plastering on his face! You just talked with a friend, its not like you did something wrong!

Even though I kept nagging myself that, I couldn’t calm down!

I made sure I’m blocking my emotions from him or else he might play with me again and feel like winning!

“Who are you talking to?” his deep low voice made me jump. It sounded icy, making a shiver run down my spine. I gulped when I felt his hot breath on my skin. Damn, he was so close.

Chapter 24

:

“Just a friend.” I gulped and took my plate, planning on running away from him or I’ll lose it.

His scent was mesmerizing. And since we haven’t completed the mating process, the pull was still too strong, too hard to bend,

I took a step sideways since I can’t turn around when he was just standing there behind me.

But before I could move away, his strong hand grabbed on my elbow, pulling me close to him.

A yelp escaped my lips when my body slammed to his hard chest. I tried my best to avoid looking at his eyes, afraid that I might drown. So I focused my eyes on his chest, trying my best not to get tempted with his burning gaze.

“Really?” His grip tightened that I flinched from it. Fuck! Why does he sound angry and scary?!

“Y-Yes.”

“Look at me.” he commanded and I gulped. Closing my eyes tight while cursing non-stop in my head.

I know I did nothing wrong but the way he acts right now was really making my knees tremble. Even the way we’re close to each other was nothing compared from the fear crawling in my spine.

Fuck.

“You’re lying.” he spat then held my chin with one hand while the other snaked on my waist, pulling me closer. He made me look at him and my round eyes looked at him in fear.

What the fuck, Lucianna!
