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
Carlos Pov_________I walked back into the car and rested my back in the driver's seat, glancing at Luca from the rear mirror."Where's she?" He asked."She refused to come with me" I responded and a frown settled on his face. "She would be seeing George at the hospital" I added."How's she?" He asked me and I sighed. Willow looked fine…at least fine for someone who just got her heart broken. Finding out that Luca didn't want anything more from her than just the sex they had would hurt her feelings, but she did look fine."She looked great." "But you don't," Luca said. I turned back to look at Alpha."I don't? What do you mean, Alpha?""Yesterday when I announced to the pack about getting Mousey laid, you weren't excited. Why?"I paused, my thoughts roaming. I didn't know why I wasn't excited when Luca notified us about his successful mission to get Willow laid. There was no reason to…"You've killed lots of glozikes without remorse, what's with Mousey?" Luca caught into my thoughts
Willow's PovThe awkward silence, the heart beat, the stares, the goosebumps. I couldn't handle all these, sitting close to Luca. All I could remember was when I sank, slowly taking him inside me, a moan and cry of pain escaping my lips as I settled into the rhythm he wanted. His lengthy shaft was deep inside me, my legs were trembling and I could barely move.We had fun. Luca wouldn't deny that. But why did he have to work-zone me. I wanted more of him, I wanted a progress in our friendship…"Sometimes, Mousey forgets we are wolves" he said aloud and I turned to look at him with a frown. "How does it feel Mousey, to be with a wolf, Mousey?"I was silent, looking out the window and ignoring him."Carlos, Mousey and I had sex" Luca said and my heart thudded. Carlos gaze met mine from the mirror. "I think I told you about it"Carlos nodded and I felt embarrassed. They talked about me? They were probably mocking me."Mousey thinks we are thing because of that" Luca laughed and my chest t
Willow's Pov My day couldn't possibly get any worse—or so I thought, as I rushed towards the elevator at work. The doors slid open, and my breath caught in my throat. Standing before me were two men from my past and present: my boss, Luca with whom I'd recently shared a heated and embarrassing moment, and my ex-boyfriend, who had recently checked into the hotel for his honeymoon. I found myself hooked to the ground and I couldn't go into the elevator.Although Luca couldn't see me, he could perceive me and I recognized the smirk on his face as he muttered "Mousey" "Willow" Peter said after Luca, smiling wildly as his eyes searched through my body.Tension crackled in the air as I hesitantly stepped into the confined space, right in front of both of them, feeling the weight of their watch upon me. The silence was deafening, and I desperately wished for the ride to be over. However, Peter as usual, with his appealing smile, decided to make a move. His hand gently touched my arm, send
Luca's Pov________________Thinking about Mousey was my new habit. Every day, every night, every hour, and second, she was always on my mind, but this time, I felt restless as I rolled onto my bed.The darkness that had once been my constant friend felt like a heavy burden. As an Alpha, my wolf senses had always compensated for my lack of sight, allowing me to do anything with confidence and ease. But now, I was struggling with the growing insecurity with my connection with Mousey and I couldn't help but feel utterly helpless.My love for… my like for her was undeniable, just like a burning flame within my heart the moment she came around me. Yet, the knowledge that she still felt a lingering attraction to her ex-boyfriend made my blood boil. Today was hell and I had never been so eager to get my eyesight. Mousey was still attracted to him, I could smell it from her and that broke me. If only I could see him, to understand what it was that drew her to him, perhaps then I could fin
Simone's Pov___________My hands shook as I zipped up my bag, preparing to leave the home for Juggy Bar where I worked now. Willow had left earlier for some reason. Just as I was about to grab my keys, a forceful knock on the door startled me. I approached the door and opened it, only to find myself face to face with the man I'd been running from: my father, Simon.Anger bubbled up inside me and I moved back from him, panic evident in my voice. "What are you doing here?"Simon's cold eyes locked onto mine, his lips curling into a smirk. "I'm here for you, Simone.""Are you not tired? Leave me alone" I cried."Are you not tired of running either?" He smirked, staring at me seductively. "Oh, Simone you look sexier now that you're away"Before I could respond, Willow's mother appeared beside me, greeting Simon with a warm smile. "Welcome, baby It's so lovely to have you here." They hugged for some time and kissed in front of me and all I could do was feel irritated. She turned to m
Willow's Pov__________ I fled the cafeteria, my body trembling with anger and unwanted desire. How could Peter still have such a hold over me, even after all this time? I needed to regain control, so I found the nearest restroom, locking the door behind me as I leaned against the cool tile wall, my breath coming in rough gasps.A glance in the mirror revealed my red cheeks and angry eyes, evidence of the unrest that boiled within me. As I pressed my thighs together, I couldn't deny the moistness that betrayed my body's response to Peter's manipulative touch. I was furious with myself for surrendering to his charms, and for allowing him to invade my thoughts and desires.This shouldn't happen again, Willow. You should avoid Peter.Never get close to him, to the point that he has to tease your sensitive spots.The day dragged on, the tension between Peter, Penny, and me hanging thick in the air. There was not much work to do as Luca's eyes, so I spent all of my days revering in diffe
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
