LUCY.

I stayed under the shower for a long time after my weapons training with Alpha Audrius. My hands and arms were tired, but I was happy because I was faster than I was yesterday. And if I continued practicing, I was sure I would be as fast as I was when I was still being mentored by Gargon in the

underworld.

I just wish I was allowed to use fire so I could master it as well. But what choice do I have? I had no idea how long I should be hiding from my father. I was tired of being scared of him. I just want to have a normal life where I could enjoy my days with Adan and not have to fear that he would just appear out of nowhere and drag me back to his

world.

I let out a sigh before I turned off the shower and proceeded to dry myself.

I wondered where Adan was. He should be home around this time and hopping in the shower with me, but I haven’t seen him

since lunchtime, and it’s almost dinner time

now.

I had just finished putting on clothes when a

knock on the main door was heard. I

grabbed the comb from my dresser and ran it over my hair as I made my way to open the

door.

An Omega greeted me with a wide smile on her face. “Lady Lucy, we will have dinner a bit earlier tonight. The Alpha is waiting in the dining room now.”

“The Alpha is home? Is he not coming up here?” I knew she just said he was waiting in

the dining room, but my mind failed to

accept that he didn’t come up to see me which he would always do as soon as his day

was over.

“No, Lady Lucy. He’s already sitting at the

dining table. He has guests joining for

dinner.”

“I see. Do you know who they are?”

She shook her head and bit her bottom lip. We never ask questions, my Lady. But it’s a female, and the one with her looks like her

security.”

“Oh, a female… Is she young or older?”

“She looked young. Perhaps almost the same age as you, Lady Lucy.” I bobbed my head before asking, “Are you sure I was requested at the dining table?”

“Yes,” she answered as she scratched her

head. She might be confused by my

questions, but I was already trying hard not

to show my annoyance.

“Okay, tell him I’m going down soon,” I told her before closing the door, muting her from saying anything more.

I closed my eyes and tried to control my

breathing.

Who was that female? I knew we were expecting the witch of the red mountain, but Adan told me she was older, around forty or fifty. So if the guest was young, could it be the female Alpha Aurelius set him up with?

After I accidentally made my palm glow, I asked Adan on the same night if he were still interested in visiting the female his grandfather set him up with, but instead of answering me, he just told me to forget about it and began kissing me, so we ended up having sex, and it just flew out of my

mind.

But could she be the guest? Maybe Adan forgot to cancel, and now she was here to

visit him instead.

I hurriedly changed into a dress, picking up an above-the-knee, red spaghetti-strap dress that accentuates my collarbones. I slipped on a thin cardigan that I left open so my dress would still show before heading

downstairs.

I kept practicing the smile that I would give his guest because I was sure I would be

scowling, so I had to control my facial

expressions.

I finally reached the entrance to the dining room, and I let out a deep breath before
