Chapter 11Lucianna’s POV“What do you think you’re doing?” Jacob said in a rough and serious voice. He didn’t move and he stood in front of me proud, not even budging.Am I wrong? Isn’t he attracted and almost giving in to the bond? What if he is not?I watched his face and tried analyzing what is on his mind right now. I can still see the same glint in his eyes despite the darkness at the hallway, but am I right? Is that glint meant desire?“Taking my towel back…” I said in a low, careful voice.Jacob’s jaw clenched and he held his chin up. The way he gulped hard didn’t escaped my eyes. Can I take that as a hint that he is affected?“You got it now. Walk away.” he said. His voice is almost a whisper, raspy, and deep.It sounded rude, and how he said it almost made me back out, run inside my room and lock my doors in shame but I couldn’t.“No.” I whispered again, staring back at his eyes. Jacob is looking down at me with his head high up. It was supposed to make me feel little, and i

Chapter 12Brent’s POVI shook my head as I hear moans of pleasure inside Alpha Jacob’s office.He’s at it again? I groaned.Alpha Jacob is smart, his war strategies are on top. The pack respected every rules he has come up with, and feared his merciless behavior towards wrongdoings. But, since his mate showed up, he started to get out of control and I don’t think he is aware of it.What’s so hard on accepting a mate, anyway? It’s not like he can escape his fate, its not like being matched with Lucianna will even change so why do he kept on denying her?Jacob could not control the bond at all, especially the urges and that was clear from how he fucked those bitches, yet he denies his wolf from wanting to mate. Not some plain sex.Its morning and he hasn’t stopped since last night. How far can he go?Damn his stamina.I sat on the couch outside his office and sighed. I guess I will need to wait here for a while before I can work. The files and my tasks are inside his office, it’s easy

Chapter 13Lucianna’s POVWhat is he looking angry at when I should be the one feeling that?I grabbed my phone, taking my eyes off him.“Uh, I’ll call you later about my decision, Dy.”“Sure. Everything okay?”I bit my lip, feeling nervous all of a sudden. Why didn’t I felt Jacob’s arrival? Does my senses get numbed, as well?“Y-Yeah. Later, okay?”“Sure. I miss you, Luce. I hope you think about the offer, can’t wait to see you-”“Yes! Bye!”I quickly turned off the call and bit my lip hard. Damn, why did he had to say those words?! Jake was here! Ugh, it’s not like he knew but still…I decided to continue eating without looking back to Jacob again.My senses heightened when I felt him move, walking towards to me. His steps are slow, it felt deadly like a dark aura was emitting from his body and lingering to the room. To me.I cleared my throat when I felt being suffocated with my loud heartbeats.“I-I didn’t know you’ll come o-over. I did not bother cooking b-breakfast for you.” I s

Chapter 14Lucianna’s POVThe morning passed so fast and its past afternoon. I’m still inside my room, and my tears died down a long time ago. I can’t remember if it lasted for an hour, but I remember myself in daze, staring at the wall.Jacob’s presence left the house during lunch and I don’t know why he stayed that long. I’m just glad that I ate breakfast and my stomach isn’t growling yet.I don’t want to leave mate! My wolf kept whining the same since this morning and I kept ignoring her.I know, alright? I don’t want that too but everything is a blur to me, and I’m hurting.Growing up, I had a lot to take in. Living alone is one of it but it does not match the pain of being lonely.And now, what Jacob is doing despite being here for two days is already killing me. I barely survived the previous ten years but I stayed strong. But these last two days made me something else.I lose my hope.I lose my gleam.I lose myself.I even fucking tried to accept being cheated on, nevertheless

Chapter 15Brent’s POVI’m sure when I planned this but it is still difficult when Jacob is already looking at me with those hawk like eyes.“You--what?!” he growled.I just told him that we lost track of his mate, and that Lucianna can’t be found anywhere. Tss… hold on a bit more, Brent. Let him be shaken…“She run off fast while I’m taking care of the payment and--” I tried explaining again but he cuts me off.“And where is Harley when this happen?”I can hear Jacob’s low growls in his chest but I can tell he was just trying to calm himself.“H-He was off to the bathroom, he trusted me into protecting Lucianna and--”“Idiots!” he shouted and stood up hastily that his chair fell loudly on the floor. Jacob was looking at me with deadly glare and his fangs are slowly showing.Here it is, go, run off, find her!That’s what I prayed for but Jacob suddenly hissed, closing his eyes and tilting his head up, calming himself again.Fuck, no.“Tell the border guards to not let her go out of my

Chapter 16Lucianna’s POVWe danced. Slow at first but it turned wild later on.I’m having fun, I’m feeling alive. The loud music, Justin’s funny and entertaining company. It’s all taking away every mad memories I had in the last three days.I was hesitant.At first.But there is something with Justin that makes me continue, makes me go with his flow.It’s not like I like him or something, but I’m enchanted with his company. He was fun, he is talkative and friendly but all my mind can think of is his warm body grinding on me as we dance.I know I’m on heat. I can feel a gushing waves of haze clouding my head, and all my mind can focus into is to feel more of his heat.Jacob is nothing compare to the man in front of me, but Justin is the one with me right now, not my mate. And my heat is attacking, almost an incurable disease, I should give in to it.And I want to give in, for my revenge.Justin’s moves slowed down and his hands grabbed on my waist, tighter, trying to stop me from grin

Chapter 17Lucianna’s POVThe moment we entered his house door, Justin quickly attacked my lips, devouring me as if he hasn’t eaten for days and I’m his first prey.I moaned when my core throbbed hard and mind-breaking from our kiss. The heat inside me was consuming every bit of my sanity, every thoughts in my head seemed to flew far away.My wolf whines inside me, she don’t want to but she was also under the influence of the heat, of the gushing risen libido that enslaves us.Responding to his kisses with the same hunger, the flame between us heightened and burned with an incredible pleasure that I thought I will felt only with my mate.Suddenly, the thought of Jacob flashed my mind. Here it is! The revenge I’m seeking, I am finally starting to cheat on him!“You’re so hot…” he whispered through our kiss before his lips travelled down on my neck. He nibbled on my skin and sucked on it hard, surely leaving a kiss mark.I can only moan.This is different from how I felt with Jacob but

Chapter 18Lucianna’s POV“Let me go!” I snarled, struggling away from his strong grip. Jacob didn’t bother to do what I ordered, instead, he continue walking while dragging me with him.I got more furious. I’m mad at Jacob and its on a different level plus, the guilt from what happened to Justin fueled my anger.“I can walk on my own!” I shouted. We were walking in this dark forest with the moon as our light. I can hear a faint noise from afar, probably coming from the bonfire party.“Jacob!”He finally stopped and turned to look at me but his hand on my arm gripped even tighter. I flinched from the pain but hides it as I fought his intense eyes on me.“You!” he cursed and closed his eyes tight, frustration and anger is plastered on his face. “Do you know what you’ve done!?” his voice echoed around the forest and I heard birds flew away from how he growled after.I shivered but I kept my self tough.“Why did you kill Justin!?” I tried to struggle away from his hold but failed. “He di

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
