Love Shot

The Rise Of The Ugly Luna

Syra Tucker

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.

"Am I going there with you as your date or what?" Diane asks expectantly as she works on her laptop.

Pausing briefly, she turned her large brown eyes at him.

Her slightly wavy black hair in a messy ponytail and strands of hair hung freely around her face.

Although she might not be a striking beauty, Diane has a face that is hard to forget thanks to her expressive eyes.

"My date ofcourse!" Michael replied before joining her on the large bed.

Micheal in his late twenties was is currently her boss and boyfriend, his easygoing personality is a match for her quite rigid one.

" I was only asking because you didn't ask me to, you only said we would go to the event together." Diane continues to murmur feeling unsatisfied that he didn't directly ask her to be his date.

"Okay, Beautiful lady, would you do me the honor of accompanying me to an event tomorrow as my date?." Michael asked in a dramatic manner, earning a smile from her.

"Yes sir, I will be crazy not to" She replied in the same manner throwing him in a fit of laughter.

" Enough with that work tonight, wrap it up and let's sleep" Michael stifled a yawn.

"Just give me a minute" Diane chuckled at the sleepy man that was pouting at her like a baby.

Few minutes later she switched off her laptop and called it night before snuggling beside her boyfriend.

The act has become a habit rather than a ritual, they both can barely spend a night without each other.

"Goodnight baby". Michael whispered softly into her hair as sleep consumed both of them.

Diane hummed in response with her eyes closed.

Diane and Micheal has been working together for over a year before they started dating, and most of the time it's hard to separate their love life from their work life but they still try to keep their relationship going even if it won't be all glossy for long.

Michael had difficulties keeping his eyes on the road as he drove them to the party.

He had passively asked his girlfriend to look beautiful but he knew he didn't have to because she always looks beautiful but tonight she left him dumbfounded.

"You shouldn't have driven us tonight if you knew you would be staring at me half of the time" Diane said in an amused voice while trying to keep a straight face.

She really loves it when he reacts to her like this, she is the type of lady that is always buried in work and pantsuits but tonight she is his girlfriend despite the event being work related.

"You are to blame for that ,why are you so gorgeous?" Michael fakes being shocked to amuse her.
