Willow's Pov______My eyelids felt heavy as I slowly began to regain consciousness. The early morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow in the room. My head was pounding and my throat felt parched. I don’t remember falling asleep last night.I even had to drink some of my mum's leftover alcohol. She shouldn't be drinking after surgery and I promised to scold her this morning, but I had gulped the rest of her drink instead, only sleeping at dew. As I sat up and stretched, my phone chimed, indicating an incoming call. I picked it up without thinking, bleary-eyed, and mumbled a groggy “Hello.”"It's Cassie." I heard a sob. I exhaled. George must have told her about what happened yesterday. Cassie was either calling to apologize or trying to make me speak to George.I wasn't in for that this morning. I could not sleep over the night after my conversation with George. His tears, the way he almost strangled me to death, his rage… was all bad for me mentally. I pa
Carlos's car picked me up at the hospital after I called him. When he arrived, I walked up to him with a frown."We need to talk," I said, entering the car, so no suspicion would be raised if the police were still around. "What did you do to him?" I asked, teary."Who?" He asked."George. What did you do to him yesterday?""What do you mean?" he turned to face me."George is in a coma. Did you beat him up? What did you do?" I shouted. He paused for a while staring at me and then he chuckled."I didn't beat George up. We didn't even fight, we just had a peaceful conversation and I walked out on him""So why is he in a coma?""Maybe he had an accident." Carlos started the car and then drove out of the hospital."I don't believe you. You don't seem shocked or remorseful. You didn't even ask to see him at the hospital""George and I didn't share a close relationship." He said.My eyes were swollen with tears. "If the police come to me again. I'll be mentioning your name. You saw him last,
Willow's PoV__________Luca hadn't asked me why I was moody. If he found out that George was in a coma, I bet he would be sad too, but then again I had to tell him George had come over to my place and Carlos had saved me from him. Now the question was, who hurt George?It was a surprise that Luca wanted to get me distracted even after scolding me this morning. He was concerned after all, about my mood swings. Carlos maneuvered the car into the underground parking garage of Valentino, the upscale Italian fashion house. My mouth was agape and I was surprised. "Va..len.tino?" I turned to Luca. "Why are we here?" I gasped.This was the 'V' Luca talked about when he asked Carlos to drive us to the 'V'."To lighten your mood and…get you a makeover" he responded.I needed it! I fucking needed this. My heart skipped with excitement even when I wasn't trying to show it. What sort of 'baby girl' treatment was Luca showing me and why?I looked like a mess, he could probably sniff me reekin
Willow's Pov_________Luca's housekeeper or rather a chef, Harriet, greeted us warmly, immediately offering to make us lunch. I nodded politely, but her presence still felt like a thorn in my side. I had no reason to feel this way but knowing that there was a direct replacement under Luca's roof to being his eye upset me. Even if it took me long to admit. I wanted Luca for myself.Harriet prepared us a light, healthy meal of salad and grilled fish, but I could barely bring myself to take a bite, different emotions running through my veins.Luca was eating satisfactorily and it upset me also. “Is something wrong with the food?” Luca suddenly asked like he noticed I was moody. How does he know every single thing? I shake my head. “No, no. It’s delicious, Thank you.”"Mousey,” he says softly, his gaze intense like he could see me. I even had to wave my hands several times in front of him to see if he would blink, but he didn't. “I know there’s something on your mind. You said you wa
I could feel his heart pounding against mine as we kissed, our breath mingling. The heat of his body against mine made my head spin, and I let out a small gasp as his hands slid down to my waist.Here we were again, doing things we hadn't agreed to do.He broke the kiss, his lips hovering over mine. “Mousey,” he whispered, his voice hoarse with desire. “Tell me you feel it too.”I nodded, the words stuck in my throat. “Yes, . I… I feel it too.”Luca pulled me closer, his hands exploring my body, leaving a trail of sparks in their path. I arch into him, a moan escaping my lips as he finds a sensitive spot behind my ear.“I want to make you mine,” he growled, his lips tracing my jawline.I shivered, his words sending a surge of heat through me. “I already am” I whispered. He pulled back, a fierce look in his eyes. “Then let me show you,” he said.Luca lifted me, carrying me over to a nearby couch. He laid me down, his body pressing against mine. His hands slid up my legs, pushing my dr
Luca's Pov______Her movements against me were like nothing I had ever felt before, a whirlpool of pleasure. Her body was tight and hot, gripping me as she rode me like a horse, her fingers digging into my skin, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps.She wouldn't stop moaning, flowing with the rhythm of her ride, and from time to time, I would find myself groaning in utmost pleasure.I could feel her need, her desperation, her want for more. She was unfolding under my touch, her body begging for release.This was the moment…I rolled her over, pinning her to the couch. She wrapped her legs around me, her nails digging into my back as I thrust deeper, harder into her slimy entrance."Luca…" she moaned again.My pace fastened, it was easy to go in and out of her now since she was oozing sticky juice, the mushy sound of our privates colliding sent me nuts.The heat between us was overwhelming, our bodies moving together in a seizure. Mousey's moans became louder, her hips bucking aga
Luca's Pov_______,I braced myself, my thoughts still shaking with Mousey’s tears. As I walked through the door of the pack house, the familiar scents of my members filled my nostrils but did nothing to soothe the unease in my chest.“We’re here today to discuss the progress of our mission." I went straight to the point, ignoring the familiar greetings of the pack members.My heart was heavy as I addressed the pack. Why was I feeling this way? I needed to shrug this guilt off. There was nothing to be guilty of. "Unfortunately, George might not be joining us in the pack's war. He had overstepped some boundaries and I put him in a coma. He would be fine after some weeks.""He wasn't always available…so we aren't going to miss him," Buda said.I cleared my throat to call for silence again. “It’s with pride I can tell you that I have slept with Willow,” I announced."What?""You're kidding""Now that's my Alpha!" Cheers erupted from them Dena, Agopa, and Buda. Their scent surged excite
I looked in the mirror and my eyes were swollen, I couldn't sleep throughout the night, the pain was unbearable. It wasn't physical pain, but it hurt the most.I tried wearing makeup to cover my red face and I forced a smile to appear okay. I was going to see the same man that rejected me yesterday and I wasn't prepared for it."You good?" Simone walked into my room with a soft smile. "Did you get some sleep?" She asked."I would be okay." I smiled. "Sorry for bothering you yesterday. I should have given you a better welcome""It's okay. I know better" she chuckled. "Anyways…Mum let you in? That's strange.""Well, in her words 'Willow would love to see you, so stay for a few nights'"I laughed. Typical mum. I knew my mum and Simone wasn't close, but mum knew how much I loved my step-sister."So how long would you be staying?" I asked."Can I stay forever?" She laughed and I joined her. "I'm not joking, Willow. I don't want to go back home. Since you left, it's just toxic air"I paus
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
