Chapter 19Lucianna’s POVI woke up early the next day and I thought everything was just a nightmare but I proved myself wrong as my hands clutched on the familiar blanket. The fabric still has Justin’s scent. I sobbed, letting a low whimpers of cries.I killed him…I just killed an innocent man.My hand is not the one which was stained by his blood, but its not clean at all. I am the reason that he was killed! If only I become honest, if only I did not let my anger and my heat took me over, he might still be alive.My lips trembled and the sobs stopped but my tears continue flowing non-stop. If only…I know I can’t take him back. I lost to Jacob. Again. I fucking lose, I really am weak. I was not able to do anything to save Justin, I’m… the worst.‘Let’s run away… complete the mating with mate then let’s run away.’ my wolf said, repeating the same suggestion she thought last night.I cried silently again. I can’t! I can’t do that now! I am full of hatred and all I can think of his h

Chapter 20Lucianna’s POV“What?” I asked, almost shouting. Jacob is already at the door when I turned to look at him. “I’m not sleeping with you--,” fuck the images in my head! “I-I am not sleeping in your room!”I heard him sighed and stopped walking.“I’ll wait for you in the kitchen.” is all he said before he walked away.I screamed my lungs out inwardly! God! This is so frustrating! Is he trying to decide on his own?!No! He can’t force me to sleep on his room! What is he planning?! I’m sure he is planning something like completing the mating process with me, right?!‘That’s good! We can run away from him!’ my wolf cheered.‘No! I rather raise hell than add more pleasure for him to enjoy!’My wolf continued to whine but I ignore her. She can’t make me change my mind! The thought of being all sweet and lovely in front of Jacob cringes me!I went to the bathroom and took a cold shower, stopping my head from creating illustrated ideas of me and Jacob in his bed!Fuck! I am sure I’m

Chapter 21Lucianna’s POVI can feel the thing between my legs throbbing hard and my panties are soaked with the liquid gushing out of my core. The third heat is fucking my mind!Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!My legs are closed tight as if that will ease the burning flame inside me. Jacob did not stop knocking on my door, or calling my name. And it fucking frustrate me!His scent, his voice, his presence! All of it helps to escalate the heat and I don’t need that help!I’m breathing hard, huffing as if my lungs lacks oxygen. My body sweats like crazy and all of my body feels like burning, in flame, I feel hot all over!“Lucianna, please!” Jacob groaned. I closed my eyes tight and ran to the shower. I let my body drown to the cold water but it doesn’t help the heat to subside.I screamed my frustration. I don’t want this heat anymore! I have no use of it, I don’t want anything that came with the mate bond!Tears are falling on my cheeks, I’m too frustrated and its getting hard to fight myself!“Lu

Chapter 22Lucianna’s POVDarkness has consumed the light and I kept on pacing back and forth inside my room.I can just lock myself here and try not to come out but well, I remembered that Jacob somehow managed to come inside the room so that was useless to do anymore!‘If you only complete the mating with--’‘Oh, shut up! I won’t do that!’ I cut my wolf from suggesting the same thing again.She whined but went silent.I sighed.Okay. Calm down, Lucianna or you won’t think of a better plan to do this. Breathe, okay?I tried making my mind work and after a while, I decided to be sure of the information I have by now.‘Harleyyy?’ I called on to the portal with Jacob’s Gamma.‘Yes, lamb?’ he quickly responded.I pouted. Why is he calling me lamb? This is the second time he called me that but I don’t have time to ask him why. My time is running.‘Uh, where are you?’‘Why are you asking? Don’t tell me-’I snorted.‘I’m just asking ‘cause I don’t want to be here alone with your mighty alph

Chapter 23Lucianna’s POVI don’t know if its from exhaustion or Jacob’s warmth are just too comfortable that I fell asleep.Almost stumbling off the bed, I opened my eyes and looked to my side where I felt Jacob’s breath on my cheeks.He’s dead asleep.He was right when he said he’s too exhausted. Well, from all those sleepless nights for fucking his whores, of course.I scoffed silently.Jacob’s hand is rested on my stomach. I took my time to look at his face.He really is handsome…Those thick, manly shape brows and long lashes of him is what I’m envious of. No wonder the way he gaze at me always makes my heart flutter.It feels good. He feels good beside me.If only he didn’t…Sigh.There’s nothing to hope now, nothing can be moved backwards. And every scene of his infidelity will be stuck in my head like a venom on blood.Remembering it always makes my blood boil. Makes my mood sour, and the sight of him disgusts me.Hm, I think the night is still early. Did I sleep for too long-

Chapter 24Lucianna’s POVThe color of Jacob’s eyes is richer than blood. It’s so red that it looked scary.I tried calming myself because my heart is in chaos, I can literally hear my heartbeats on my ear. It’s too loud and fear is clouding my head.I can’t. I shouldn’t.My walls of defense heightened as I tried to fought the deadly aura that Jacob has been emitting. That helped me calm down.Dylan is still on his knees, giving respect to my mate. My body is trembling but I managed to get down from the rock and moved beside Dylan in protective stance.I have a bad feeling about this.As if on cue, the moment when Jacob killed Justin flashes in my mind and I paled. I don’t want another innocent life to lose just because of me.I don’t think I’m worth a life.Jacob jumped from the top of the Hill and landed in front of us. His eyes are on me, those bright red eyes pierced through my soul that my conscience acted up.I felt guilty.“W-What are you doing here?” I managed to ask as I wal

Chapter 25Lucianna’s POVI don’t recall how we manage to reach back home but right now, I’m laying on his bed with him settled on top of me.“J-Jacob~”His kisses were deep that I can feel anger from it. I can feel how my sexual urges elevates higher with every minutes that has passed with his lips on mine.“Don’t think of running away from me…” he said in between kisses.My top is nowhere to be found and I’m almost bare if he also had taken off my panties. I can’t remember how he ripped me off my clothes, I was so drowned with these ecstatic feelings he sent.“I want you mine. You’re mine.”My mind is clouded with dark desires, its too strong, I can’t follow on what he murmurs about!“I’ll do everything to keep you close. I want you so much, Lucianna…”What is he talking about?! Oh, god! Stop talking and keep on kissing me!“Ahh~!” I screamed my moan when his palm grabbed my breast, playing on its peak with his calloused fingers.I bit my lower lip hard when his lips travelled down

Chapter 26Lucianna’s POVI feel hot. All over. My body feels like burning, it does not hurt but its calling for something.I’m in terrible heat!This wave is so different from what I had before. I can’t stop thinking about Jacob, and my body yearns for him, for his touch, for his presence!“J-Jacob!” Before my tongue connects to my mind, I already screamed his name.Jacob entered the room, slamming the door wide open.I was trembling, not in pain, not because I’m hurt. It sounds pathetic but its because my body wants him.I want him now.This feels like I’m under a spell!“Jacob! Please--!”I don’t know what I’m asking for. I’m not fucking aware of what I want but every words sounded right to me!Fuck you, mate bond!My core throbbed even harder. Is the bond cursing me?! What I’m feeling got worse with every wrath I have with the bond in my head.“I’m here, Lucianna.” Jacob held me in his arms and I fucking clung to him like he is the source of my life!Fuck!“Make it stop! Please!”

Lucianna’s POV“Why proceed with it, then?” Aiden asked, wincing a bit from the heaviness of his words. I just told them about the Shadow eye and the curse of it because of a mishap that the first born didn’t inherit the gift.“Aiden! You can't tell a mother to get rid of her pup.” Ashira answered, agitated on my behalf. Aiden looked at me with apologizing gaze but the way his jaw clenched tells me his vote is just the same as Roscoe’s.“I actually tried to.” the sigh that came out of my lips was cold as memories came rushing.“Ohmy! Luce!” my friend's eyes were wide from shock, covering her mouth and tears forming on her eyes.My smile has shame lingering on it. This is a new emotion on my part. I always thought that I haven't done anything wrong when I decided to went with Roscoe on that cave. Maybe its because this is the first time I talked about it with a person of a same gender. Plus, Ash is a mother now so she can relate more than I could imagine how horrible what I did. I su

Lucianna’s POVRoscoe came and as soon as he get off his car, we exchanged a look that lasts for almost a minute. There was a lot in our eye language and it’s more like him saying ‘I told you so,’ and mine were ‘We’re in this situation so fucking try and talk with your mate’s body’. I saw his shoulder sagged as he sighed but headed to where Fhoxia was as if he read my mind.I really hope Roscoe can get something, anything, from Fhoxia. He does before, he still felt the bond between him and his mate’s body that the messenger borrowed. So I hoped, keep on hoping, there’s nothing I could do anyway.“He’s been there for how long?” Harley asked behind me.Time has reached a spot on top of my list that I prioritized to forget, so I just shrugged Harley’s question. Now watching Roscoe has made me feel dreaded in the guts so I decided to head inside and sit on the couch. Harley lingered longer by the porch, watching my brother-in-law like a hawk.I don’t know if I feel excited or anxious with

Lucianna’s POV“She’s creepy.” Harley commented as we drank coffee out at the porch. “How long has she been here?”“One week now.” I sighed. “I keep on asking her why she’s here but she won’t talk. Roscoe won’t be here until later this evening but he told me over the phone that Fhoxia didn’t reached out to him either.”“It means this messenger has no message to deliver? So, what, just being nosy?”I scoffed. “Bite me, I don’t know either.”“And Roscoe will be here? Jacob finally permitted his return?”Jacob gave a temporary ban for Roscoe after what happened in the cave. My mate hated the idea that his brother kept on deciding things for him.“Yeah, he only agreed this morning. He didn’t want to, I just convinced him since Roscoe might be the one Fhoxia could talk to or something.”“And that is why?”I sighed and nudged my mug at the messenger’s direction . “That body was borrowed from a dead woman. The dead woman was Roscoe’s mate.” Harley’s jaw dropped and before he could pry more,

A month has passed. A cough coming from our bedroom made me jumped from my deep thoughts. I was having my coffee in the kitchen and Jacob was at our bedroom. Laying down on our bed even when the sun has shone for an hour and a half.Not because he feel lazy to go to the Hall like he used to, but because he has become weak. His eyes had sunken with dark circles under it, there’s hollow in his cheeks, his skin has become dull and dry and no matter how much I put lipbalm in his lips, it keeps on cracking. His body was not as strong as he was. And everyday he get worse.I can barely look at him in this state but the only time I wasn’t by his side were morning like this. I drink my coffee alone then I’d cry my heart out without making a sound and spend the rest of my day beside him again. This is the time I used to outlet my sadness, fear and every other emotion I couldn’t show in front of him.There was still no news about another way. There’s still no another way and I lose the hope on

I was asked to lay down on a stone table. The coldness touched the bare skin of my back and arms, making my eyes shut hard.“No need to be scared,” the enchantress said, standing on my side while rummaging into a box of small bottles. A potion, maybe?Harley and Roscoe are on the other side of the cave, or the enchantress’s home, as she calls it. There’s no way they would hear our conversation.“Will it hurt?” I asked in a low, trembling voice.The enchantress looked straight into my eyes and there was something in the way she look at me. She was saying something, her eyes were saying something. She doubted my resolve in continuing with this procedure, I know that was what she think.“It will sting.” she smiles but arched a brow, as if testing if I will back down.But I closed my eyes and relaxed.“You’re not scared.” she stated, not asked. It was as if a question in her head was answered.I sighed, long and painful. “No.”“I want to know why,” she demanded with a tone that she wouldn

Lucianna’s POVI cut off the portal I shared with Jacob, feeling the severed connection like a heavy weight lifting from my chest—and yet, a gnawing pit settled in my stomach. It was better this way. He didn’t need to know where I was going, especially for what I was about to do. The decision had been far from easy, but once I made up my mind, there was no turning back. I wouldn’t allow myself to back down.“Calm down, gamma,” Roscoe’s chuckle was low, rough, and filled the silence like an unwanted echo. “You look so pale, I’d wonder if your blood left your veins.” His voice trailed off, almost as if he were talking to himself—though in a car full of werewolves, he knew better. I sighed, a breath that didn’t even begin to ease the tension coiled tightly within me.“Cut it out, Roscoe,” I muttered, my voice steady though my mind was racing. I could feel Harley next to me, practically vibrating with barely suppressed irritation. “Just drive.”The sleek growl of the engine hummed beneath

Jacob hadn’t returned home since last night and I haven’t slept a blink. Thinking over and over again about my decision, I cried all night and prayed, continuously apologizing to the unborn child in my womb.“You called for me?”It was Harley. Of course I called for him, I needed someone by my side right now and since Jacob was against this idea, I had to call for someone who wouldn’t turn down my heeding.“Yes.” I wiped my face and stood up. I probably looked like a mess right now but I couldn’t care anymore. “I also called for, uh, Roscoe. Expect his presence in a bit, I’ll just get something from my room.”Harley’s POVEverything was a mess around the pack. I heard Jacob was scolding his staff and throwing things everywhere. Brent told me, of course. He’d been snooping about what was happening with Jake and Luce that may had caused Jacob’s nonstop tantrums over the Hall.Of course I said nothing. I promised Lucianna I wouldn’t tell a soul about Jacob losing his control of his wolf

Jacob’s POVI once again looked at the corpse, it was shredded into pieces. It’s skull was crushed, bones torned apart and cracked. There was blood everywhere, from the ground up to the trees. The body was divided into four pieces and the head was retrieved up the branch of a tree.“Please forgive me, Alpha Jacob.” said Jordan. One of the council, head of trackers that also conduct the investigation. “I failed to distinguish the entity of the corpse, Alpha.” he bowed and the rest of his team bowed as well.There was no question to why they failed. The core of the corpse was gone, making it hard to distinguish it. Without the core--its heart-- a werewolf wouldn’t shift back to human. No one would know if it was a werewolf or a forest wolf.But I knew.The moment I arrived, the air whispered to my ears. The smell of death lingered in my nose. And the howl of a werewolf called my Alpha wolf.The corpse was a shape-shifter like us. Definitely a rogue because there was no distinguished pac

The door open and shut but I did not bother to look who it was. I can smell Harley, anyway. He just got back from the crime scene. I bit my fingernails from the nervousness I feel inside.What did he find out? Is it a shifter? A regular wolf? Damn it!I did not bother looking at Harley when I felt his presence in the living room. Pretending that I was watching the TV, I stopped biting my nails and inhaled slowly.“How’s everything out there?” I asked in a normal voice.Harley exhaled loud. “Just a wolf. Badly torn apart though.” he slumped himself down the couch. “How’s the talk with the brother?”I shrugged. “Just the usual.”“Yeah, like I know the usual, right?” he said sarcastically.I looked at him and squinted my eyes. Why was he so grumpy? “Someone twisted your panties or something?”Harley shook his head and looked away. It looked like he was thinking about something and wanted to say it out loud but also thinking if he should.“Don’t tell me you will act like that all day? Bec
