JULIUS~

Lucia's face was filled with panic and frenzy. So I was right about her that she had a mission as she agreed to marry me without a second doubt.

She reeks of blood and a quest for revenge as I kiss her.

The aura she embodied just now was different from the one she had on when I defiled her at the Moonbane Festival night.

I wanted to stop kissing her immediately I sensed the dangerous moment. However, I had to be sure and that's why I ripped her gown off and sucked on her boobs, just to detect that weapon.

"I... I can explain. I actually don't know that my friend hid something in my clothes... I mean I really don't know that...." She stuttered and sweat broke from her forehead.

I smirked, her actions right now reminding me of that ugly scar about me that I don't want to remember.

I unsheathed the dagger and pointed it at her, my anger building up despite the mate bond.

"Tell me, Lucia. Who sent you to me?"

"I'm not lying, Alpha. I really don't know how it got into my..."

I jumped on her out of my anger and held the dagger to her throat. "I can kill you right here and now if you say one more word."

Fear rented her eyes as much more sweat broke from her forehead.

I really don't care. The fact that she had the gut to bring a dagger here, alongside having bad intentions all these while hurts me as fuck and I hate it.

When the dagger dug deeper into her neck, almost slicing her skin, she pleaded, "I'll confess. I'll..."

I retreated back, but I was foolish. She used this opportunity and pushed me back, "How dare a murderer like you talk to me like that?"

Fear had given completely from her eyes, it now felt like she was acting all these while.

I frowned deeply, more anger setting into my brain. "What?"

She laughed simply but resentfully. "If I had seen your face, I wouldn't have given my precious virginity to you and I would have rejected you immediately!"

"And after seeing my face, you still jump at the chance of marrying me..." I scoffed. "I was right about you when I found nothing but criminal records on you."

Yesterday, I was so curious about her, given the way she left me at the hotel immediately she saw my face.

I had come back here and had my men find out anything they could about her and what I found wasn't pleasant.

She's been in and out of jail so many times. No identifiable family except for her friend that lives with her.

If not for Mum had seen her picture on my table, then I wouldn't be in this dangerous spot now.

All attempts to stop Mum from going to find her were futile. I didn't even know she left with the marriage proposal and it was this morning that I learnt that I would be getting married!

She yanked off the veil at the back and stripped the gown away. "You don't deserve to be my husband! I'm rejecting you right now!"

I smirked at her foolishness. "You can only say that if you're not in my house or worse still... On my bed"

I pushed her against the bed and she fell. Her eyes were glowing embers of anger and fear that I really hated so much.

But what do I do now that she's smoking hot in that pink bra and jean shorts and by the way, I'm ruining my pre-planned wedding night to snooze on her booze.

"Get off me!" She shrieked. "I won't let you finger my holes with those hands you used to murder my sister!"

That word struck me. I stopped fondling her boobs and looked at her urgently. "You say what?"

"You see?" She used this opportunity of my golden silence to slip out of my grip. "You can't even deny you didn't do it! You bastard, you murdered Teja!"

Now, I really can't take this madness anymore. I grabbed her hand and pulled her under me again. "Tell me what you mean by that or else I'll kill you right here and now!"

"Kill me. Kill me like you killed my sister and then take the medal for killing two siblings!" She screamed again.

I was forced to release her as I didn't understand a thing about what she was insisting on.

When I researched her, I knew she had lost her sister ten years ago, but saying I'm the murderer.....

She ran out of the bed and madly into the bathroom. Shortly afterward, I heard the sound of running tap. I laid on the bed lifeless.

What a nice way to ruin my wedding night!

Still sprawling on the bed, she came back, but this time wearing my bathrobe.

I frowned in confusion, "Why are you wearing my things? You're not allowed to..."

"Have you forgotten we're married?" Her tone was curt and rude, but I didn't mind it.

She grabbed a pillow beside me and went to the couch. "I have to be prepared In case you're planning my death too."

I chuckled darkly. Only if she knows I don't sleep.

"Enjoy your night, see you in the morning"

I dashed toward the door. She reached out as if to ask where I'm going or what I'm doing, but I exited the door before she could say anything.

Axel, my beta, came out of nowhere and joined me as we moved toward my office in the hallway.

"Why are you leaving your bride so soon?" Axel asked immediately we got into the office.

I sank into my swivel chair noisily. "This is not the time to fuck around, Axel."

"But at least, you have to....."

"Get me more details about her!" I commanded, not giving him more time to argue with me. I'm tired of arguing all day.

He bowed and left only to come back shortly with a laptop.

His expression was grave and I wondered what he saw this time.

"This is bad Alpha"

I got on my feet immediately I heard this. Axel is never used to putting on a serious and tight face like this.

Without asking further, I snatched the laptop from him and saw the picture of another woman there....

I mean that woman that made me and also broke me.

I fell back, letting the laptop fall on the table. "Why... Why did you bring this?"

"That is her sister. Her real name is Teja and not Evelyn!"

My wolf growled! She's Evelyn's sister! Evelyn is Teja!

No.
