Chapter 10 she intrigued him
The wolf moved so quickly that no one even could blink. He grabbed Alfred’s wrist before he could punch Anaya’s back.
“Don’t you think it’s cowardly for an alpha to hit on someone’s back, Alpha Alfred?” he asked Alfred sarcastically, crushing his fist inside his palm.
Anaya’s head was spinning hard, and her heart was about to leap out of her mouth at any time.
The throaty, heavy, and cold voice was something that she could recognize anywhere among all the noises.
Alfred’s anger turned into fear within a second when he recognized the person standing in front of him.
The alpha standing in front of him had the most domineering presence.
Alfred cowered under his strong and oppressive aura.
Riley and Winnie were also downstairs by now.
Riley ducked behind Winnie, hiding from the alpha who had made them feel inferior in every way.
“Alpha Lucifer Hawthorne.” Winnie greeted him fearfully; her heart was also thumping hard against her ribcage.
Lucifer threw Alfred away, making him stagger hard, almost falling backward, but Alfred managed to stay back on his feet.
Anaya was still frozen on her spot, the explosions in her mind making it hard for her to breathe.
How could this be possible?
She only had one question in her mind.
Jacob, with Lucifer’s beta, Theo, also walked inside.
Jacob approached Anaya immediately, worried about her mental state.
He didn’t know why Anaya froze in her place after seeing Lucifer, but he was sure that it wasn’t fear.
“Anaya…. Are you okay?” he asked Anaya worriedly while going to her.
Lucifer also slowly moved in Anaya’s direction and furrowed his brows when he noticed her standing in the same state.
He knew that he looked terrible, more like a monster because of that big and ugly scar on his face, but he could sense that she wasn’t scared of him.
She was shocked, he knew, but more than that, she was in a state of disbelief.
“She isn’t a wolf.” Theo remarked amusingly, looking at Anaya’s frozen body from head to toe.
Lucifer growled at him threateningly, surprised by his own action.
“What the fk was that, Beast?” Lucifer growled at his wolf angrily because it wasn’t him but his wolf, Beast.
Beast just snarled at him but didn’t answer him.
“Anaya…. What happened? What’s wrong with you?” Jacob asked her worriedly, approaching her, but stopped when Lucifer growled again, taking a step forward in Anaya’s direction.
Jacob was startled by Lucifer’s reaction and blinked dumbfounded while looking between Anaya and Lucifer.
Theo was also amused and shocked by Beast’s reaction. That monster had never shown an interest in a woman before.
Women threw themselves on Lucifer, and both Lucifer and Beast didn't mind having their pleasure with those she-wolves, but this was the first time that Beast became possessive towards a human woman.
“You injected wolfsbane into her?” Lucifer suddenly asked Jacob angrily.
Theo was stunned and sniffed harder.
Anaya’s sweat had a very faint smell of wolfsbane, and Lucifer got the whiff because he was now close to her.
“It…. It’s not that, Alpha Lucifer. Sh… she is not a wolf. So, wolfsbane can’t harm her.” Riley spoke fearfully, stuttering hard in the process, but didn’t come out. She was still standing behind Winnie, holding her mother’s shoulders from behind.
Anaya slowly moved in Lucifer’s direction, getting his attention at the same time.
Her eyes were unfocused, and she was breathing heavily as if she were hyperventilating.
She looked at Lucifer in a daze, tears falling down without any warning.
Lucifer was now intrigued by her reaction. She was crying, but now in fear.
He didn’t know what exactly was going on, but Anaya piqued his interest in her.
They came here today to take over the pack. He was ready for action if Alfred refused to surrender without a fight, but what welcomed him was the fight between Anaya and Alfred.
Anaya was a strong opponent despite her being a human.
“And how did you know that wolfsbane is not poisonous for a human, Ms. White? If you don’t know, just keep your mouth shut. No one will treat you as a mute if you don’t speak.” Theo scolded her, looking at her in disdain as if a mere glance of her had dirtied his gaze.
Riley was stiffened by the humiliation, but she can’t do a thing to both Theo and Lucifer.
Lucifer ccked his brow when Anaya slowly raised her hand towards him.
They were standing close to each other, yet Anaya felt this distance like an eternity.
She felt as if she were hallucinating. How could it be possible?
How could she see that face once again when she had sent him for cremation on her own?
Lucifer watched her crying silently. She was scared now, but not because of him.
He could differentiate between the causes of fears.
She was scared. Her lips quivered, and she spoke, but apart from a whimper, nothing came out.
Their gazes were locked, and he saw so many emotions pooling into her eyes, especially longing and fear.
He didn’t understand what exactly was going on, but he just stayed still, watching every movement of her with no change in his own expression.
He was calm but curious.
His whole body shuddered hard as a jolt of pleasure ran through his whole body when she touched his face.
Theo also widened his eyes in shock because this was the first time someone cupped Lucifer’s face.
Jacob’s knees almost buckled because of fear when Anaya cupped Lucifer’s face. His heart was now running a marathon.
Alfred was also shocked by Anaya’s unexpected behavior.
Winnie also widened her eyes in shock, but she was also scared for Anaya now.
Riley was also shocked, but more than that, she was angry because Lucifer let Anaya touch him instead of killing her.
She heard that Lucifer never let any woman touch his face. Then why was Anaya an exception?
Anaya whimpered aloud in pain, taking a step towards Lucifer. The person standing in front of her wasn’t a ghost.
The touch was real. The pad of her thumb caressed that scar’s end that had covered almost half of Lucifer’s left side face.
Beast purred in delight by her touch.
He was also stunned by Anaya’s action. She wasn’t disgusted by the scar on his face. Instead, she was stroking that scar gently.
“V…..incent.” Anaya whimpered the name in pain, making Lucifer hold his breath in shock.
Anaya’s body swayed hard. “Anaya.” Jacob yelled in panic, but Lucifer’s reflexes were faster.
He grabbed Anaya by her waist before she collapsed and pushed her to his chest.
“What the fk” Lucifer yelled angrily, holding Anaya tightly in her embrace.
She had fainted, leaving Lucifer angry, frustrated, and worried at the same time.
He heard the name clearly. She called him by another man's name. It shouldn't have bothered him, but it angered both him and Beast, but they were worried about her.
“What the fk happened to her? How much wolfsbane did you inject into her?” he roared at Jacob and Alfred, his fangs already showing.
