Chapter 56Lucianna’s POVI swear that from the moment I sensed Jacob, my breath was uneven and my nerves were unease. I tried my best to act normal, trying to remember what Harley told me. To act like I don’t know Jacob would be coming.And its so fucking hard to do. I can sense him from mile away!‘Don’t forget to act surprise.’ Harley reminded me and I groaned as I closed my eyes for a second.‘Shut up.’He’s rather well behave, huh, thanking God he didn’t bothered me after. Only to figure out why and its because in front of us is my mate, striding closer to us with a poker face but softened eyes.My eyes widened when I saw Jacob walking towards me. I don’t even have to act, huh? The moment I saw him, I was far from surprise. I’m nervous! But from the way Harley exhaled in relief, I must’ve looked surprised.I looked around and try to look for anyone who I might know so I could divert my steps away from Jacob as to avoid him but everyone was new faces.There’s no way out, and I rea

Chapter 57Jacob’s POVI am far from irritated. Something inside of me was swelling, and my hands are itching for violence just in order to proclaim what is mine.But I am stopping myself. So hard that my claws are dug deep in my palms.How can she kept on insisting to be close to that ‘friend’? I don’t care what he is in her life, I want her to stay away from that man!And if she can’t then I have a lot of ways for that man to be out of my sight!“Jacob!”I hissed when she called my name and my feet automatically stopped on its own.I didn’t bother to look at her, I’m agitated, and I will be more enraged if I hear another of her plea.Two small hands grasped my closed fist and that contact almost made all of my inhibitions melt. Almost.She gently urged for me to turn around, to face her. And my strength to resist is not that strong when it comes to this woman.I’m mad, but blindly smitten. There is no more denying of that.The moment I saw her face, I feel like everything around me

Chapter 58Jacob’s POV“Are you two okay? How’s your talk with her?” Brent pried after he assists Chew and Kiara in the registration table.“Mind your business, beta.” I groaned.My eyes never once left Lucianna ever since she moved a step away from me. I’ve watched her interact with people and continuously mesmerized by her. She was serious in lecturing her co-female fighters, lively while with acquaintances and powerful as she stands alone when no one approaches her.I think I know why she has no friends back at her pack. It was not because she was orphaned, nor pitiful. Those people were intimidated because she managed to live and stand even though she was alone.And those who denied her were idiots.I was one of them. Was.But my advantage is I had the chance to know her, find out her real character, and be by her side. I planned the latter to remain until my last breath.“She won’t be participating the fight. Did you know?”“Yeah. Too bad. I’m looking forward to watch her fight d

Chapter 59Lucianna’s POV“Are you alright?” I asked Kiara who was immobile behind me, she’s as shock as I am.I didn’t think that Jacob will come to the field and defend us, but I am grateful because my head must be shattered into pieces by Harlow’s mace.Once Kiara nods, I looked at Jacob again. His eyes are fixated at me right now and I know that those eyes are scanning me whole, looking for any damage in my body. And thank god, there’s none. Or else, his fire will be fueled.Harlow must be betrayed by her knees as she slumped down on the ground. I bet Jacob scared her and the exhaustion coming together drained what’s left with her energy.Jacob looked at Harlow again, making the latter flinch. I can tell how nervous she is. But then, Jacob only gave her a quick glance before bringing his attention to me.He walked to me this time.“Are you hurt?” he asked.I shook my head. Fast.What happened was scandalous enough and I don’t wish for Jacob to lose his control any more than this.

Chapter 60Lucianna’s POVJacob drove in silence. He just followed the directions I’m pointing to, and my hand is the only one to communicate because I am as silent as him.I know what he wanted. I know what words he wanted his mouth to utter and I know, he is trying his best not to say it.Jacob wants me to be with him, to stay with him and to go with him.To Shadow pack.To home.Now.And I think the only thing which stopping him to drag me away from this land is because I wanted to go back to Mual’s.“There. The brown house in the middle.” I finally said, and he finally looked at me after an almost ten-minute drive.There was no expression in his face and I think its because of our bond, or maybe its because I’ve known him enough that I can interpret his emotions.Just by looking at his eyes. And the feeling is no longer weird to meThe car stopped. My eyes are still looking upfront but my senses are heightened for him.I can feel Jacob’s every move as if I’m looking right at him.

Chapter 61Jacob’s POVI’ve been dying to kiss her and the feeling of her lips into mine is pure heaven. I felt all my inhibitions and fears flew just by the taste of her.I feel her. She’s with me. I didn’t lose her.Lucianna responded with the same intensity. I feel it, she misses me as much as I do and knowing this is too much of a feeling.Her hand went to my nape, his fingers dug in my skin and her chest came closer to mine.I know, baby. I know. I want you, too.My arms embraced her, snaking at her waist, my hands on her back and my lips trembling in the mind-blowing kiss.Before I could deepen the kiss even more, Lucianna pushes her palms on my chest. I was caught off guard that I let it happen, gaining back the bit lost of balance.What’s wrong? Why did she… damn it.“I…I can’t.” she breathed, covering her lips with the back of her palm. She stood up and walked away, heading for what seems to be the kitchen.I followed her, not in a rush, ever slowly. Careful.My nose flared a

Chapter 62Lucianna’s POVNick is the one who received us at the border and we didn’t complain that Aiden didn’t personally came. I can’t imagine what he is going through right now. Ashira isn’t like me, not at all. She didn’t escape like I did, she was freaking kidnapped!“How is Aiden doing?” Jacob asked Nick. Nick was seated at the back of the car and we’re on our way to the Ancestral to meet Jacob.“Bad. Real bad. There’s a couple of hole in the wall, he’s out of it. For real.”“That bad, huh.” Jacob sighed.“Yeah. And Ashira being a stealer didn’t help at all.”Jacob hissed. “She’s what?”I can feel Nick getting paled behind us. Yeah, I never told Jacob about the stealer thing going on with my friend. Jacob looked at me as if to accused me with words, “You. Knew.”“You heard me. But its a secret, you can’t tell it to anyone.”“Of course I fucking know it should be a secret! Damn it. No wonder Aiden was…” he hissed. “I’m surprised he haven’t ran there himself.” Jacob sighed. “Elon

Chapter 63Lucianna’s POV“We are so glad to have you here, Luna Lucianna.” says Seth.My eyes raised from what he said or maybe from what he called me. It was just me and Prime’s Gamma who was left in the living room since Nick has to go to the Hall. I just finished calming my friend’s nerve, Ashira is having it tough. And for two days, I think I’m too exhausted for everyone. I mean, I feel it all. Their sadness, their sacrifices, sometimes the feeling of them losing hope. And dang, I won’t even start of what emotions I absorbs from Aiden.I snorted. “Ash needed me. I should be here so no need to thank me, pup.”He chuckled. “Yeah, well, we are still glad, Luna.”“You can call me Luce or Lucy, you know. Its not like I undergo the ceremony or something.”The frown in Seth’s forehead shows utmost curiosity. “Alpha Jacob found his mate and that’s you. I don’t think ceremonies are necessary to call you Luna, and definitely not necessary while your mate won’t stop going around and telling

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
