Luka's POV"WHO DELIVERED IT?" I asked my Beta, Baba. I was at home when I got a call from him asking me to come over to the pack office as soon as possible. I thought it wasn't something urgent so I took my time but by the time he called me again the second time, I realized it was not only urgent but then important.As I walked into the packhouse, I could tell from the faces of some of my warriors present that something bad was going on. I got into my office and was welcomed by a threat note from the so-called Draenei. He didn't actually state his proposition but asked me to be on alert because he can ask for what belongs to him in a short time."We don't know how the letter got here but we only found it here this morning," I turned to the warriors who were on patrol last night."Did you see anyone suspicious last night?" Their leader took a step forward and replied, "No, Alpha Luka, we didn't see anyone not to talk of a suspicious person," I hit the letter against his chest. I re
Crystina's POV I woke up this morning feeling sick and weak so I stayed back home instead of going over to school. When Miss Mary asked if anything was wrong, I told her I was totally fine, just not mentally ready for classes. I know I shouldn't have lied to her but I knew if I told her I was sick, she would be all over me and even inform Luka about it. It wasn't like I was dying but my body needed the rest. "Are you feeling better?" Samer asked. He had come to visit me at the packhouse after I was absent from school. He was supposed to be here together with Paige but Paige stopped at their apartment for a few minutes before she would meet us on the ground floor. I hadn't said anything since he arrived. We've been silent and I guess he got tired of the silence and decided to say something. "Yeah, I'm good. I've been to the hospital and I've been told I'm good," I went to the hospital behind Mary's back because I didn't want her to know I actually went to the hospital for treatmen
Crystina's POVAfter we left the packhouse, we headed for the cinema. Samer wouldn't stop talking about a new movie that he wanted us to see so we agreed and followed him down there. "Are you sure you saw Luka?" I asked Pearl again. After she told me she had seen him at the Packhouse looking for me, I became uncomfortable. I sent him a text asking if he needed to see me but I got no response. "Yeah, we came down the elevator together. Once I saw you with Samer, I turned to point you out to him but he was gone," She answered. I sighed. I couldn't really wrap my head around why he needed to see me. Did Mary tell him I didn't go to work today? What did he want? Is it really important? Has he changed his mind about the pregnancy? "Relax, Crystina, I'm sure he just wanted to be sure that you're fine," Paige assured me and I forced a smile. No one really knew the state of our relationship. I was the Luna that Luka wanted for himself and his pack and I don't think I'll ever be more than
Crystina's POVThroughout the rest of the night, I could hardly stay for one more minute. The only reason why I sat still was because of the agreement between Luka and me. I didn't want to do something stupid that'll later cause a problem for me so I waited, and endured till the horrible dinner was over. I had to swallow every mouthful of the meal with force. It was hard to eat when I was already on the verge of breaking down. Mellissa and her mom won't stop talking about some silly stuff and laughing as loudly as possible. I was begging the universe to assist them in finishing their meal so I would walk out of that mansion and never return. They seldom got Luka involved in their conversations but it wasn't any of my business. I didn't care about what was going on or whatever it is that they were talking about. I only care about leaving. When I realized they weren't any minute close to being done with their meal, I dropped my cutleries on the plate, pulled out my chair, and got read
Luka's POVMy eyes followed Crystina as she walked away and for a few minutes, I contemplated following her but I stopped because she would probably tell me to fuck off if I did. She was unbelievably stubborn and I hope nothing happens to her tonight. The wolves were on patrol anyway so I guess she'll meet some of them on the way and they'll follow her back. I walked back into the house to see Luna Ruth and her daughter exchanged a smirk. "I see you're finally getting out of her whims and lies, Alpha," I clenched my fist. I hadn't said anything to them because I was hoping the dinner would end peacefully but the heavens know they took it too far. "I would be making a personal request to your husband to have you both called back to your pack by morning," "That's a deep sign of disrespect. You dare not do that, Luka, or else you'll be losing a lot of things," I folded my arm against my chest. "Good. Then, let's see who loses the most at the end," I understand what her threat was a
Crystina's POV"Do you know that pregnant wolves can't shift?" I asked Paige as we walked into school together the next morning. I was still shaken from what happened last night and from what I found out as well but I had to get up this morning for school. I already missed a day and I wouldn't want to miss another because of those babies. They didn't deserve to be neglected because of what I’d been going through. "Yes, I found out about four months ago when my neighbor got pregnant. She told me she couldn't believe she has to stay human for the next five months, why did you ask?" I was taken aback again. I could've died last night if Luka hadn't gotten involved and stopped me. How was he able to stop the transformation by holding my head? Was that even a possible feat? "I almost shifted last night," Paige stopped in her tracks and I stopped as well. "You didn't know about it," I nodded. "You poor baby, what happened? Why did you shift?" I shrugged. Luka had told me to keep the r
Luka's POV"Am I even important to you in the littlest way?" Crystina had asked. That question never left my head for the past two hours since we left the Pack. Had I intentionally decided to not tell her that I was traveling? No, that wasn’t the case. I was telling Baba to deliver my note to her once I leave and that was when she joined us. I wouldn't leave the pack and let her wonder where I'd gone to. When she asked me that question, I could only help but wonder what was going through her head at that moment for her to ask. Of course, the heavens even bear witness to how important Crystina was to me. She's the most important person in my life even though she would be leaving me. I still can't bring myself to hate her no matter what had happened. I had made an impromptu call to the Alpha King of the north, the only person who could give us a clue as to who Draenei is and he asked me to pay him a visit. I didn't want it to be later, I wanted it to be now, and leaving Crystina alon
Luka's POVI stared at him in disbelief at what he was saying. Draenei was never a part of the discussion whenever my father's death was being discussed. Nobody mentioned any alteration with any vampire Lord. Never have I heard about this man who suddenly is being said to be my father's murderer. "I beg your pardon?" I asked. He grunted as usual. I can actually lose count of the number of times that he grunts if I'm to keep count. "There's no need to remember the past, just listen to my instruction and stay low. That's the only way you can stay alive," I stood up from my seat and took some steps closer to him."Is this a joke, King Lucien? If you want me to really lay low then you have to tell me, did Draenei kill my father?" He clicked his tongue. "What did you think happened to your father?" I shrugged. "I heard he was killed by another Alpha," He smirked. "That might have been possible. I wasn't there with them on the battlefield that day so all I know is your father had bee
