Willow's PovI cuddled my mother on her ward bed, she was asleep when I went visiting and was on saline. I was happy she would be discharged today. As I slept on the same bed with her, different thoughts ran through my head.My mother was lovely, but I regret that I didn't reveal to her what Simon tried with me when I was little. If she knew, there was no way she'd try reconciling with him and we would have left the house a long time ago.There was no reason for my mother to allow Simon to come to visit her at the ward such that they even kissed, but my mum was so messy with the things of the heart.I was sometimes like my mother, making stupid decisions from the heart…like trying to sleep with Peter who was about to get married to Penny. I hoped Penny wouldn't find out about my actions. She had hurt me, but I wanted to avoid hurting her in revenge. I just wanted to let it go.Several thoughts continued running through my mind, till it randomly knocked me. I didn't have to be angry wi
Willow's PovA pretty girl with a huge smile opened the door for us when Carlos knocked. "Oh my…welcome" She grabbed my mother's bag and ushered her in. I turned to look at Carlos and frowned. He was right. He had brought a replacement. How could he do that? How could Luca accept that? I already told him I was going to resume tomorrow.Wait, was it George who convinced him that I was still going to work at Juggy? Or it was Carlos who forcefully made him accept someone else.I walked into Luca's huge living room and towards the dining table. Luca was already seated and the table was set with lots of mouthwatering dishes. My mood has changed seeing the new lady. She pulled out a seat for my mother who sat warmly. "Your house is so beautiful, Luca," My mother said. Luca flashed a smile."Thank you, Mrs Reid." He responded. "Is everything okay, Willow?" He suddenly turned over to my side. My heart skipped for a moment as he threw the question, but remembering it was easier to scent my f
Willow's PovLuca Carver's lips brushed mine very swiftly, he let out a soft gasp and I couldn't help but …"Lucahh…" I moanedHis upper lips grabbed my lower lips and he gave them a soft bite. "I…like your tone, Mousey" he came back to my lips and brushed them continuously, teasing the hell out of me."Touch me, Alpha," I begged, my nipples hardened against his thumb and he felt it and gave a little pinch which caused me to moan a little too loud."Volume, Mousey. Let the world know we're here," he said in the most sarcastically seductive tone I've heard."I'm sorry" I apologized. I didn't want him to lose any interest. After flirting with him at the bar today, something like this has been replaying in my head, and now that I was having it, I didn't want to ruin it."How good are your lungs?" He asked."Huh?"I was breathless as his lips touched mine. I could feel his tongue exploring my mouth and his hand clenching my boobs. My heart was racing, and I felt like I was about to melt.
Carlos POV__________My hands were tied to a pole with chains and I had received the fourth whip from Alpha Luca. We were all at the park house with Dena, Agopa, and Buda watching the scene of my torture. I knew this was going to happen, but I didn't think it would be in front of them. Luca scolded me a lot. More than any wolf he had ever met. I couldn't figure out if it was because he trusted me mostly do the right thing."I'm sorry, Alpha" I apologized with blood stains in my nose. He had given me several blows also. "I didn't mean to walk in on you and Miss Willow""Luca, you can't punish Carlos for your carelessness. You should have locked the door or something" Dena defended with a teary face. Was this her feeling sympathy for me or it would be the same for anyone?Luca was having dinner alone. He sipped his drink to speak. "Carlos jeopardized the mission and that is why he is getting punished, dear Dena."He took another bite of his favorite grilled chicken and then started t
Willow's PovAlready dressed for my first day of being Luca's eye. I was deliberating on taking this job once again. The secondhand embarrassment from yesterday's scene was holding me back. George had called this morning asking if I would resume. I told him I would be resting at home and taking some time to think about it. He was hopeful I would report back with a great result.I specifically warned Mum about revealing to anyone that I was working with Luca. I didn't think that was a bad idea. If George knew, Luca's friendship with me would be over. I didn't want to be in the middle of those two men answering questions that would worry me.Would Luca be excited to see me today or would he just regard my coming as a seductive approach?I didn't want to leave the wrong impression when it came to Luca. I wanted to be straightforward with him just like he was with me. Now that I was finally 'his eyes', I wanna know his intentions toward me.Why was he interested in getting me to work for
Willow's PovI have never had a job that prepared me for so much luxury. Our first stop was a spa. What the hell were we doing at a spa? I believed Luca was here to meet one of his clients, but I'm fuzzed up about this place. I want to take pictures, I want to flaunt my new job, but I didn't think that would be possible. If George sees them…The walls were decorated with serene paintings of landscapes and waterfalls. The lighting was warm and inviting, setting the mood for relaxation. I walked beside Luca as requested, he definitely looked intimidating and I just scurried along with him like the mouse that I was.Carlos stayed back at the parking lot. I guess my new job can make him feel relaxed now. He didn't need to follow Luca everywhere anymore."Mr Luca. Oh, how lovely of you to drop by" a high-pitched feminine voice said from a distance as she approached us."Chubby, short, brown hair, wearing a gown" I quickly said before the last got to us."Oh, Melanie. You look gorgeous toda
One would think Luca was joking, but he really wasn't. Standing in front of me, he asked that I undressed him. Being close to him was already killing me but touching him too? I would go crazy.This tension between Luca and I needed to stop. The last time I remember, two months ago I didn't even know who he was, but now, it felt like my whole world had changed.Even Peter hadn't crossed my mind like he usually would from time to time. Neither was I thinking of any bills or if I should agree to George's advances.I held the fabric of Luca's shirt, my hands shaking in both excitement and panic."Mousey, you're taking too long" he whispered."Yeah. I just…I'm sorry" I fumbled with the buttons of his shirt. In a rush, I loosened all of his buttons, leaving me to admire his torso, his scars, tattoos, and athlete-built frame. I gulped down empty air as I gently pulled his shirt off his body, avoiding touching his skin.I successfully pulled off Luca's shirt without touching his skin. A snick
A whole day with Luca was a roller coaster, but also an exclusive experience. After the massage spa, we headed to The Carver's 7-star hotel Luca owned. Walking side by side with him with all eyes on us and every whisper of 'The CEO is here' made my heart jiggle. The curiosity on every staff's face, when I walked in with Luca, made me feel like a celebrity. A life I'd always dreamed of.However, getting to Carver's hotel changed Luca's attitude toward me. I mean, we just saw each other naked a few minutes ago, so why was he pretending to be so professional? I understood that he might not want to raise suspicion among his staff, but still…We entered into the elevator and stopped at the meeting hall where executives were seated with high esteem. I felt uncomfortable with what I was wearing - a random shirt and office pants, but these men cared less about what I was wearing as their attention was not even on me.The meeting went on fine but also for hours. It was true that Luca needed
Willow's Pov__________________I woke up to an empty bed, my heart sinking as I realized Luca was gone. I had thought our passionate night meant he would stay with me. All those love confessions in the middle of orgasm and the warm cuddles assured me he was going to stay forever.But he didn't. I couldn't feel anyone beside me.I was brought to tears unintentionally, Luca had confessed that he did take my eyes, but he also said he loved me. Why did he do it then? And how do I get my eyesight?Was this his ploy? Was he just playing tricks on me?As I sobbed, a deep male voice echoed "Stop crying, it's upsetting."Confused and frightened, I asked, "Who's in the room?" Looking around even when all I saw was darkness.The voice chuckled, "No one's in the room, I'm inside you.""Inside me?" I wiped my tears from my eyes. "What do you mean inside me?"Someone was playing games. I stretched out my hand to feel anyone, but I couldn't. The voice was as close as my mind."Let's just say Luca
_____////_____////_____////_____////Luca's pack gathered at the town square, their eyes fixed on the palace. "Alright, let's move in," Luca whispered, his voice low.Dena, Carlos, Agopa, Buda, and Ben, the new wolf guy nodded, their faces set with eagerness as the mission they trained for was finally here. They crept towards the palace, bringing down the guards with fast and silent moves.As they approached the entrance, Luca's heart raced with uncertainty. It seemed too easy to just take the pack down. He knew they were taking Herbert unaware, but he also knew the palace was meant to be secured by stronger guards who would put up a fight. Just as they were about to step inside, the ground gave way below them. Traps sprang into action, grabbing them in a net of ropes and chains.Luca cussed out loud!Herbert emerged from the palace, a confident grin spreading across his face. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Luca and his little pack, all caught up in my trap."Luca's eyes
Carlos Pov________ ______Luca stumbled out of the room, his eyes red and puffy from days of confinement. He had been subjected to the power of the Crown of Canines, which had changed him in ways he couldn't understand. It was mostly positive because he had become more stronger and powerful. He had scorching eyes that could burn metals and also he had a maximum of seven hours of immortality. There were more to be discovered with the Crown of Canines, but its powers would be evident in Alpha Luca, slowly. Coming out of the room where he had stayed three days to absorb the powers of the crown, Luca sobbed uncontrollably, overcome with emotion."Alpha." Dean and I bowed our heads as Luca approached us."I need to see Mousey," he said."You just came out, you need to rest Luca""I… I…miss her" he broke into tears. Dena turned over to me, her mouth pouted and her eyes teary."Alpha, if you need to see her, please go.""Luca, don't go," I warned, my voice firm but concerned. "Tomorrow
George's Pov___________I stormed into Juggy Bar after I had dropped Willow at home, I suggested I stay with her but she wouldn't let me. My eyes scanned the familiar space with a combination of relief and annoyance. I spotted someone polishing a glass behind the counter and marched over to her."Who are you?" I demanded.She looked up, with surprise in her eyes. "I'm Simone. I've been helping Cassie out while you were...indisposed."My expression dimmed. "You're a stranger. What are you doing running my bar?"Simone stood her ground, her voice firm. "Cassie needed help, and I was happy to step in. You're welcome, by the way."I snorted. "Welcome? You're telling me I should be grateful that some stranger is running my business?"Cassie suddenly appeared at my side, a "George, Simone has been a huge help. You're not being fair. Simone has been a lifesaver. She's helped keep the bar running smoothly while you were recovering.""I don't care. I don't want some stranger messing with my
Willow's Pov____________My eyes fluttered open, but instead of the familiar sight of my lover, I was met with darkness. I blinked repeatedly, thinking it was just a trick of the light, but the blackness remained. Panic set in as I realized I couldn't see.I COULDN'T SEE.I sat up with a start, my hands grasping wildly in front of me. "Luca?" I called out, my voice shaking. But there was no response."Luca?" I called again, touching the bed and hoping he was also lying beside me.But no one was there, and my eyes weren't opening.My chest heaved heavily as I tried to come down from the bed but I fell off. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm several times, but it wasn't opening.No. No.I realized. No, there's no way! Was I?…was I blind?Betrayal and anger coursed through my veins the instant I remembered George's warnings about Luca's true nature. George was…right? He talked about eyesight. About Luca taking my eyes, about some exchange. Is that what is happening?No. Luca c
Luca's Pov________ "Luna videa me. Lupus oculus, humanus oculus" I paused, removing my fingers from Mousey's eyes, and took a deep breath. "I can't do this" My heart became heavy. The pack members would be ready by now. How would I tell them I lost my eyesight?Why would I take Mousey's eyesight? After everything I had gone through to avoid it. I would betray her if I did. She would believe George. She would never trust me.I would hurt her. I didn't want to hurt Mousey.But I had to. I had come this far from the mission. Mousey was my initial prey. I must not let emotions get into my head.When did I become so soft? It was because of Mousey. I shouldn't even have so much thought deliberating."Luna Videa me" I started the chant all over again. Mousey was fast asleep, as she cuddled up with me. If she hadn't, she would have asked what the hell I was doing.Why did Harriet's sight only last for twenty-four hours? Is this the promised eyesight I've fought so much for? Would Mousey's
Willow's Pov_____________I stood, appalled at the sight before me. George was awake. He was back to life. "George" I rushed to hug him on the ward bed, not caring how we ended our last conversation."Willow, we need to talk," he said to me."He has been saying that since he woke up, thanks for coming" Cassie interrupted"Cassie, a little space please?" George said and she walked out of the room."George, if you wanna apologize, I already forgave you. Just get completely well.""I am well." "You need more rest.""No, you need help. You're not safe, I can't let anything happen to you."I raised my brow, confused. "What do you mean?""Luca would hurt you.""Luca would never hurt me.""Don't believe him, Willow. You knew me first!""Be calm, George. I do not understand."George woke up from his home only to be obsessed with Luca and me again. "You've done this before, can you just stop.""But I lie not. Luca put me in a coma, imagine what he would do to you."I paused. Shocked in fact.
George's Pov_____________"She's not picking," Cassie said as she tried Willow's number once more. A banging headache again as I angrily clenched my fist. "George, are you okay? You just woke up from a coma, I've been worried about you and now you're asking about Willow and being all angry? What happened?""I need to see Willow. I need to talk to her" I said. Remembering how I got into a coma was upsetting, but knowing that Willow was still out there in danger with Luca Carver got me more worried. "She's in danger.""No, she's not. We spoke yesterday. She's fine."How could she be fine now? Did Luca change his plan? He should have used Willow, the moment I was away. So why is she okay?"I need to see her." I tried to stand up."No." Cassie stopped me. "Can you just acknowledge the fact that I've been worried about you? Willow is fine, I'll get her to come check on you." She cried.I sighed, laying back on the hospital bed. "I'm sorry" I apologized to Cassie. "Thank you for always bei
Willow's Pov___________Luca was smitten by me, his eyes said so. Luca wouldn't keep his eyes off me. I was speechless when he announced that he could see, I wanted to ask so many questions, how?But I wanted to savor the moment. Luca was extremely happy, I had never seen him so full of joy.He had booked a different hotel, not the one he owned and he had carried me in his arms into the room.He nuzzled me against the bed, planting kisses all over my face, and we both began to laugh. We soon heard a knock and Luca ordered that the door be opened. Some staff came in with a rail of cloth and gently placed it in our room. The moment they left, Luca moved to the clothing and touched them. I needed more evidence he wasn't blind, cause there were a lot of marvelous things he could do even when blind."I get to see colors!" He giggled like a baby, taking a dress from the rail. "This is red, Mousey. It is red!""It is indeed red, Luca" I laughed."You'll be trying all of these clothes. Ever
