Chapter 37Jacob’s POVAfter my heated scene with Lucianna, I went straight to the pack hall with a raging hard-on in between my pants.My attraction towards Lucianna grows much greater than before ever since I let go of my useless pride and accepted my defeat in domination.It’s becoming a problem for me because the control I had gained has melted, and its not a good move to be swayed by my sexual urges now that I’ve decided to let her go.I might end up forcing myself to her and I don’t want that though I badly desire to do it with her.Setting that aside, another threat will be coming anytime soon.“Any sign of his arrival at any of the borders?”Roscoe…My older brother, the true heir of the alpha title, the first born. I can’t believe it has been nine years since he was banned in our packland by father.“There’s none, Jake.” Brent answered. “Do you think he’ll cause trouble?”Exhaling, I tried to calm myself. I’m not scared of my brother, of any evil things he did, I’m not. But I

Chapter 38Jacob’s POV‘Stop right there, Roscoe!’ I said to him thru our mind link. He’s been playing games, running around like a mad wolf. Brent and I can’t catch up to him, his moves differ from way back and the fact that he has the alpha blood in him means he was fast, too.Yes, I can communicate with him through the mind-link. Being gone for nine months, his loyalty remained in the pack, which means Roscoe doesn’t go rogue or joined another pack.‘What? Can’t catch up to me? Still a weakling, brother.’ his roar of laughter echoed in my head.My teeth gritted hard. Fueled by anger, I sped up fast, ignoring all the restraint and peace Brent tried to plant in my head.Roscoe jumped to the tree to maneuver his direction of running when I was about to grab him with my jaw. Instead of going after him, I circled away and dive to where he was headed.Roscoe’s paws dug on the ground, causes the soil and grass to flew from the impact. My wolf is larger than his even when I’m the second ch

Chapter 39Lucianna’s POV“Is it okay...” I cleared my throat and looked away from his conversing eyes.It was too much to look at now that I knew something about him. I’m giving meaning to it when I shouldn’t.“Hmm..” he moaned and nodded his head. I blinked twice, leaning on the headboard and looking front while Jacob continued to watch me.Well, since I won’t have sleep tonight that I’m curious about something, I guess I should ask him about it.“Harley told me your, uh, brother tried to…” why is it so hard to say? Just thinking about it makes me cringe.“To kill me? It’s okay Lucianna, I’ve told you before, I want to be true to you.”I cranked my neck to slightly have a look at him. His eyes are sincere and deep, almost reminiscing and even though he hasn’t spilled a word, I’m already aching.“Yes, Roscoe tried to kill me. Nine years ago, my father declared that I will succeed his position and my brother was, I guess, not pleased.” he smirked, a sly one that I can say he was tryin

Chapter 40Jacob’s POVI don’t wanna pressure her but I think she is pressured so I opted to change the ambiance between us and go on with the stories I’ve kept in my head for so long.“There’s nothing I remember of my past but that tragedy. It all began when I opened myself to Roscoe, tell him the things I never knew I shouldn’t have said…”Nine Years Ago…I run to the training grounds where my brother was scheduled to be at by that time. Huffing and almost out of breath.I’ve just seen something I shouldn’t.Roma, the head of fighters under my father’s regime of the Shadow pack, has a tremendous reddish smoke-like on his shadow as he looked at my father.It creep me out, when he looked at me, the red smoke of shadow behind him formed as to what I think was evil. It looked as if it wanted me, so I have nothing to do but run.Run to someone who always protects me.“Roscoe!” I called. He was busy brawling with his trainer when I came here.“Hey kiddo!” he greeted while being straggled

Chapter 41Lucianna’s POVJacob pulled me up, with his arms snaked on my waist to adjust me to a more comfortable position. He laid above my body, his huge body almost covered mine while his lips stayed kissing me, even better each passing second.“Jacob…” is all I can utter, my moans of pleasure from his drowning kisses. His hand found its way inside my clothes, fully cupping my breast and the brassiere felt like its not there. His warmth sipped in straight to my skin and my body become sensitive, longing and yearning for his touch.“Lucianna…” his whispers sounded like a perfect harmony best made only for me. He pulled away, not too much but enough distance to look at me.I opened my eyes when his kisses stopped, and I don’t know if I looked frustrated by it. I don’t really care.“Tell me to stop if you don’t want this. I… won’t be able to stop if this pushed farther--”“Shh.” I smiled, placing my finger on his lip. “You’ve given your warning, Jacob.” my thumb caress his bottom lip

Chapter 43Lucianna’s POV“I think this pots are fine, right, Lucianna?” Anabel asked with a smile after she checked all the pots we bought in a local store.I nodded with a smile. “We got everything on the list.”She teasingly poked my sided. “Ohh. Wanted to go home that fast, huh?”I flushed.Anabel become our alarm this morning, she woke Jacob and I while we cuddled sleeping. Having breakfast with her and went to shop for Jacob’s backyard that we will turn into a garden.“N-No, of course not.” I denied but yes, Jacob kept calling in my head saying he went home early. He is home too early, to be honest.Anabel laughed and snaked her arm over my shoulder as we walk.“You know, he will be like that, missing you too much. Every single day.”“H-How-”“Come on, it smells fresh that you two had just completed the process of mating. It’s fine, its totally normal.”“Until when… will he act like this?”Ana chuckled. “Oh, darling, until your last breath. Alejandro is still the same, more now

Chapter 44Lucianna’s POV“I’m ready.” Jacob announced as he came out of his room.I rolled my eyes at him while Harley chuckled beside me. “Jacob…” Oh my, I don’t want to start with this again but he’s too cute!His shoulder dropped as he sighed. “I am… ready to go to the hall and work.”Harley laughed loud and I think he wasn’t able to contain it anymore. Jacob grinned at him but only for a second because his expression turned serious as he watch his third in command. “Fun’s done, get out.” he snapped.I stick my tongue out to a smiling Harley and he just shrugged at me before walking out of the house.Jacob’s arms was quick to wrap on my waist. He groaned in my ears as his grip tightened. “I don’t want to let you go.” he murmured.“Nope. I’m gonna be late.” I tiptoed and planted a kiss on his cheeks, grinning after.Jacob frowned. “That is not how you should kiss your mate goodbye.”My lips parted from that. Ugh, he’s starting to emit his desires again, I can feel it!“Let me show

Chapter 73Lucianna’s POVI heard Jacob’s voice while Harley was talking. The Gamma reported that Roscoe came to visit and that we talked in private but he didn’t add things that will complicate a mind. Though I doubt Jacob will think odd of his brother’s visit, given the situation we are in.My breathing got heavy when the two nodded their goodbyes and Jacob looked my way. Exactly at me, in my eyes, as if he knew I’m standing there and watching them.My reflexes say I should hide, away from his soulless eyes but I can’t. I didn’t. Instead, I walked towards the front door where Jacob were also headed. Jacob stopped just outside the door, right in front of me and I stopped inside, a step away from him.We stood there, eyes locked with each other and I have no idea what’s working on his head. Jacob shows no expression, same thing he has been doing since what had happened. And I can’t read his thoughts, nor his feelings.Is he waiting? I think he’s waiting for me to speak, to tell him so

Chapter 72 Lucianna’s POV “I mean abortion, Lucianna. We have to kill the pup inside your womb in exchange of enough time.” I swear, all the blood running through my veins left. I froze, and I stopped breathing. Killing the pup… God, that sounds so wrong because it fucking is! “You’re proposing to kill my child, Roscoe.” I stated because he seems to forgot that fact. “Yes--” “My own child. Its your family, too!” “I know that, Lucianna! But do we have a choice? We’re already in this problem, and we got no other options to choose from.” he bowed his head and sighed before looking back at me. “Its either let Jacob die or kill the pup before it consume your mate.” I put my hands up to stop him, unable to can’t hear any more of this. Roscoe has a point and it is clear but I am not thinking of killing my own child. I’m hopeful,I’m still hoping for a miracle to save us all from the fate’s curse. But Roscoe is also right that we have no time. And I have no time to continue hoping. Bu

Chapter 71Jacob’s POV“And I think you’ve brought us trouble.” says the visitor.Even though I can’t see her face, I know she’s looking right at me. The emotion of fear comes to me very seldom and that’s when I have no knowledge of something. When there’s something I have no answer about, or I’m left with no resolve.But this woman, well I can’t say she’s human exactly. And I think I’m having that particular emotion right now.Fhoxia is her name, right? And this Fhoxia is not from the living, its dead. She got no presence, no scent, no shadow, nothing.All the inhibitions I had, all the doubts and mistrust was left with certainty. Lucianna and Roscoe are telling the truth and even if I believe them, this woman’s presence alone makes me believe.“He didn’t mean to.” Roscoe spoke, trying to cover up for me. Its not only I who recognize who Fhoxia was talking to.Fhoxia turned her head to Roscoe, ever slowly, the slowest motion I have ever see.“Doesn’t mean he was not to blame.” the fe

Chapter 70Ashira’s POV“Come again?” Roscoe tilted his head and his brow furrowed. “What did you say?” he asked Jacob again.I was fidgeting on my seat while watching the brothers fought glances with each other. Jacob bit his lip and looked away first. I can tell how guilty he is, Jacob never looked away first when it comes to Roscoe.“You-” Roscoe can’t finish his sentence. He backed away and sat on the chair with a thud.“I didn’t--”“She will get pregnant!” Roscoe cut Jacob’s words and he stood up as hastily as how he sat. Jacob let out a sigh and closed his eyes shut, his jaws clenching hard.I’m still in a daze here.After the ‘accident’ as we start to call it, Jacob kept on apologizing over and over again. He claim he didn’t mean it, he claimed that he has no intention to finish inside. It was not his plan, and I know he’s telling the truth.Roscoe arrived after midnight while the pack was still enjoying their booze and dancing their life. He caught us in the moment of despair

Chapter 69Brent was making his speech in the middle of the Hall where a stage was placed. The crowd was in a circle, the music had died down, and people of Shadow pack listened as the pack’s beta talked.“Let’s stay here while Brent do his thing.” Jacob whispered on my ears. We’re at the stairs, halfway down the crowd when he stopped me by clinging on my waist. His pack was oblivious of our presence, they are focused at Brent.“Do you remember your first night here?” he asked after a while, his fingers are drawing circles on my stomach.I rolled my eyes from his question. “How could I forget? That night is the first of my worst.”He grunted. “Yeah, I was a jerk. I’m sorry.”“You were forgiven. Why’d you asked?”“Well, the moment you stepped out of the vehicle that night, I already caught your scent.” then he sniffed on my hair. “…the scent haven’t changed at all.”I froze when I felt something poking behind me. Jacob is aroused!Clearing my throat, I moved, trying to inch away from h

Chapter 68LuciannaI woke up the next day with morning kisses. Jacob’s face is buried on my neck, showering my skin with wet kisses, his hand on my stomach hugged tighter when he noticed I’m finally awake.“Good morning?” he asked, chuckling a bit, his head lifted and he smirked at me. I had to roll my eyes from how confident he sounded. Well, he could act that way because clearly, he earned the confidence last night.I groaned when my body shivered when I shifted. “I can’t believe its morning already. I feel sore all over, and I wonder who’s to blame for this.” I narrowed my eyes at Jacob’s grinning face. “What did you do to me? I think I’m suffering an amnesia or something.”Jacob let out a throaty laugh. “Come on now, baby, don’t feed my ego too much.” he bent down and planted a quick kiss on my lips.“Or maybe… I was trying to have some more.” I grinned. “If I’m calculating, you still owe me fifty-nine more.”He squinted his eyes. “Because. If I may remind, you fainted.” I laughe

Chapter 67Lucianna’s POVI was watching Ashira by the garden with folded arms on my chest and a swelling feeling on my heart. My friend would rather be with the birds and listen to them sing than have Aiden by his side. Its sad, really.There is no way I could relate with how this all works. Ashira forgetting her own mate, Aiden’s pain, the unborn child that has no clue with what is happening in the world. If I’m in their shoes… nah, I can’t relate. I sighed.Footsteps coming from behind straighten my back. It’s Aiden, and I felt him stopped behind me. He’s probably looking at Ashira now, too. Gawking at his mate like how he’s doing for the past days.“She’s going to be gone for a while, is she?” I said in a whisper.The silence is deafening and Aiden’s aura has been so sad that my eyes started to form tears. I sniffed.“She won’t.” Aiden answered gruffly. “Not to me.” then he walked forward and stopped beside me. The rays of the sun glowed his golden-brown eyes and those eyes didn’t

Chapter 66Jacob’s POV“We all know that Roscoe lost his mate before they could even meet. The occurrence made the shadow eye transferred to you, the second born.”Lucianna goes on and explained further but my focus was divided as I questioned what just happened.I never lose my cool, I never lost to my wolf. The argument we had are not that intense for my alpha power to take over. Heck, I will never use it to Lucianna!Despite the confusion, I made sure to keep it to myself and mask the knocking feeling. My brother is here, and I hate showing any weakness or flaw when he’s around.Though god knows how much I wanted to kneel and hug Lucianna for using the alpha on her-- even unintentionally.“Hundred years ago, the same incident happened in Shadow pack. The second born got the shadow eye, the same reason you got yours. The first born is mate-less and he took revenge just how Roscoe did, and the second born died. Everyone thought the first born killed the second.” Lucianna inhaled deep

Chapter 65Jacob’s POVI escorted Roscoe down the mountain and mind-linked Lucianna that we will meet her at the Prime’s guesthouse. At first, I entertained the thought that our conversation could take place at the mountain, wait for Lucianna and have the decent privacy. Not when Aiden’s guards noticed Roscoe’s presence in the pack lands. I earned a bit scolding from Aiden for trespassing his territory but he has a lot in his hands right now to come down and personally meet with us. Thankfully, he let this one go.Soft knocks from the door ended the silent eye-contact Roscoe and I have been doing. I stood up lazily and gave him one last warning look which earned a sigh from him then I headed to the door.Despite the guesthouse rooms being wolf-proof, I could feel that Lucianna was the one behind the door.‘Please tell me you are decently clothed.’ I teased our portal.A loud bang came from the door when Lucianna responded with a loud knock. I’m not even sure if it was a knock.Chuckli
