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

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 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
