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
Crystina's POV Luka came back to the pack yesterday. That was what I heard from one of the gossip ladies at the Packhouse. Since I moved here, I realized there were sort of different personalities that I found interesting so one after the other, I gave them all a nickname. Mrs. Jones was the heavenly cook. That woman makes some badass cookies and meal that keeps you wanting for more.Mr. Lash was breaking news. He knows every news about what's going on in the world like the back of his hand. His colleagues and friends don't bother getting to read the newsletter because Mr. Lash was ever ready to give them the news; good or badMrs. Lash and her cousin, Ma'am Syd were the gossip girls. They know of every illicit affair going on in the pack. From the man who didn't sleep at his apartment the previous night to the young girl sleeping with the warrior's head to almost everyone.I'm wondering if they already know about my pregnancy because the looks Ma'am Syd gives me these days send chi
Crystina's POV "I'm going out with Luka tonight," I told Paige. She had invited me to movie night at her place tonight as well so I had to let her know about the change of plans before she gets too excited about it. "Am I being jilted right now?" I laughed. "Don't be silly, Paige. You know that's not right. Luka asked me first and it's supposed to be first come first serve. So, we'll have to postpone the movie night till later, are you cool with that?" She pouts, then shrugs. "Whatever. Even if I'm not cool with it, will it really make any difference? Would you rather go to the movie night with me if I start crying right now?" I shook my head while a wide grin was plastered on my face. "I won't," She rolled her eyes. "Okay, so, is it a date?" I scrunched my nose. I doubt if it's a date. "It's not. It's just dinner," "You sure? I can help you get really dressed up if it's a date, my darling," "Nah, thank you. I'm good," Luka didn't say anything about it being a date so I gue
