LUKA’S POV I walked into the bathroom with another bout of heartache and this time again, the cause of it was the beautiful woman lying on my bed right now. The first time I felt like this was when it dawned on me that she cared about others more than me. Last night was magical, the entire day had been but the intimate moment I’d been able to spend with her had been more magical. It was the best moment of my life. There are no words to describe it. Last night, I’d imagined waking up with a happy mate beside me. I’d imagined kissing her, making love to her over again, and letting the world know she was mine, not fake smiles and anger. I woke up before her but I didn’t stand up because I couldn’t bare waking her up. What I didn’t expect was for her to wake up and try to block the mate bond we share. I could feel her disappointment and her desire to block it. When she thought she shared her words with her wolf, she had actually pushed that anger to me. My heart ached every time I rem
CRYSTINA’S POV I was having lunch the next day when it occurred to me that I wouldn’t be seeing Nico and Paige again and it was all my fault. If only I had controlled myself at the party and drink just a cup of whatever that mixture was, things wouldn’t have gotten out of hand. These two are the only friends that I know and now, I have to go through the rest of my high school days without them. A lone tear slipped down my eyes as I recalled each of her memories since I was nine years old till now and thinking about how I would go on without them was painful as well. “Luna, are you okay?” Miss Mary asked as she noticed the tears that slipped down my eyes. “I’m fine, thank you,” I quickly replied. “No, you’re not fine, you were crying, Luna,” I’m still not used to the ‘Luna’ name that I’m now being called with and I find it difficult to stay accustomed to it. Every time someone calls me a Luna, my headaches are like never before. “Can you please stop calling me Luna?” I asked. “W
CRYSTINA’S POV “Do you think it’s normal that he wants to leave despite just getting here not even up to a month ago?” I asked another question about Harry. She raised an eyebrow, giving me a suspicious look. “He doesn’t want me to be alone in the new town. Moreover, I’m just leaving for a few months not forever,” “Does his family approve of this?” She groaned. “Why are you asking so many questions?”It was my turn to shrug this time. “I don’t know. I just want to be sure that you’ll be safe,” She gave me the stink eye. “Harry is not dangerous. He’s fine with leaving town with me and I’m cool with it. It’s all good. Don’t worry too much about me,” “I just want…” I stopped the statement I was about to make when I felt Luka on the mindlink trying to pass a message to me. “Hey, where are you?” He asked through the mindlink. I’m new to it and I froze up immediately after I heard his voice. His voice even sounded better through the mindlink. I could visualize his sexy lips and had t
CRYSTINA’S POV “Crystina,” He called out from the other end of the line. I quickly composed myself and placed the phone back to my ear. “Hello,” I’ve been thinking about what I would say to him for three months and all I could come up with was a stupid ‘hello’ Damn, this wasn’t the way I planned it. “You called me,” He reminded me after a few minutes of silence between the two of us. “Yes, I wanted to ask if you could permit Paige to return to the pack. She’s done with her exams and wants to come home with her boyfriend,” He was silent for a long while and if not for his steady, heavy breathing I would’ve checked the phone to see if he was still on the line. “I see that nothing has changed. You’re still the same,” “What?” “You still care about other people more than you care about me. My Luna didn’t call to ask me if I was okay but she called about her friends again like every other time,” “It’s not what you think,” I argued, hoping he would remember how much I called him d
LUKA’S POV Five months have gone since I last stepped foot into the Moonvalley pack. It has actually felt like a decade. I know I usually leave the pack for a few years at times but this time, five months felt like an eternity. That was because of one single person that I’d missed so terribly. She was the reason why I’m back so quickly. I could’ve been gone for a year or two but knowing she was back at home made me leave that place. I had left angrily and that wasn’t supposed to be. I wouldn’t lie if I say I was blinded by my anger immediately after I left. I felt hurt, sad and angry because of how she made everything else a priority except for me. Ignoring her calls wasn’t easy but at the same time, I knew if I heard her voice, I might leave everything behind and go running to her. After she stopped calling for three days, I started calling her back but unfortunately, the calls never went through and that was when I realized she had blocked me. I couldn’t really judge her for
LUKA’S POV I left the airport with the third car that was still waiting for me. Two of my warriors were inside the car ad so also was my Beta, Baba. I knew the workload would’ve doubled for me as well here since I left without proper preparation and most times, I feel bad for my Beta. “Are there any updates I should be aware of?” I asked my Beta. I was already worried about what I would say to Crystina when I get home so I needed something to preoccupy my thoughts before then. “Yes, Alpha. My mate and I had a new girl last week,” “Wow, congratulations Baba. I thought you stopped giving birth already,” I mentioned laughing. He didn’t take offense because he knew I was joking. “I’m just in my late thirties, Alpha. Cut me some slack,” He replied, laughing as well. “I’ll add that to my list of important things to do. Has there been any attacks or incidents since I left?” “None, Alpha. The pack has been rather peaceful. If anything had happened, we would’ve called you and informed y
CRYSTINA’S POVWhat was I thinking when I allowed Luka to kiss me that way? I was still angry at the fact that he brought a new girl into the pack without putting my feelings into consideration. I was also surprised and angry when I went into my room hours ago and I found out it was almost empty. Why? The great Alpha Luka had ordered for my things to be removed to his room. “You should’ve talked to him more instead of walking out like that, Crystina,” Kris, my wolf scolded me.“I’m surprised you still care after seeing him with another woman,” She had tried reaching out to Luka’s wolf again when we were arguing but I stopped her and blocked her out. “I don’t think anything is going on between them but I swear that I’ll tear that girl into pieces if I see her again,” “Do the same to Luka when he’s back. Use that same energy, you shameless woman,” I rolled my eyes at her. “We can’t hurt our mate, that’s off the board,” “Whatever, Kris. Whatever!” I was too tired to argue so I close
CRYSTINA’S POV The following morning when I woke up, I had a blanket on my body and that came as a surprise because I don’t remember standing up to pick up a blanket or even anything else. Whoever bothered to bring me this fluffy thick blanket deserves a great week. After taking a quick bath, I had it in mind to visit the Beta and ask him when I could start working at the Pack’s kindergarten. I would’ve volunteered to teach math at the high school but I don’t think that will make any sense. “Good morning, Miss Mary,” I picked up an apple from the kitchen fruit bowl and took a bite. “It’s twelve, Luna,” She replied with a smile. My eyes went wide as I removed my phone from my pocket to check the time. My mind has been preoccupied with a lot of things that I didn’t bother to check the time when I woke up. “Woah! I didn’t know it was past noon already,” “You must be hungry. I can serve your lunch, right away,” She suggested and I knew that would only waste my time. I shook my head.
