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
Crystina's POVAfter I left the Salon by seven, I headed for the Packhouse to change my dress. I hadn't heard anything from Luke other than a text. He said he would be at the apartment by eight. I guess I should be ready for him by then. As I walked into the packhouse, I saw Mary walking out of the elevator."Miss Mary, where are you off to?" I asked excitedly. I was so excited about the date that I... Scratch that, it's just dinner. I was really excited about the dinner for reason unknown. Kris wouldn't stop smirking at the back of my head. "Alpha Luka asked me to leave," "Ooh," That was all I could say."Goodnight, Luna," I waved as I watched her back as she walked out of the Packhouse. I got into the elevator and pressed the button for the last floor. I was still thinking about why Luka would want Mary out of the apartment when I entered the house.To my greatest surprise, the most romantic arrangement was waiting for me inside the house. Roses were aligned on the floor from th
Crystina's POV "I'm sorry for holding up back when you want to leave. That's my fault. I promise to make it better as soon as possible," I held his gaze for a few seconds before I looked away. I don't understand what he meant by that or what was going through his head but for a moment, I decided against asking him. I wasn't expecting him to go through the troubles of making such an elaborate arrangement for dinner. I’d thought it would be at a regular restaurant and we would discuss one or two issues. I was more than surprised when I came in and saw everything that he had done. I felt special, happy, and at the same time, taken aback. This is the first time such a thing will be happening. Even though I'm glad it did, I'm still a little bit skeptical."So, how was your day?" He asked as he pushed his fork through the heap of pasta in front of him. I'd been meaning to ask how on earth he was going to consume the entire meal. He's a wolf, I get it, wolves tend to eat more than humans
Luka's POVI woke up to the feeling of a warm body on top of mine. I ran my hands through the skin of the beautiful woman on top of me and I knew it was that of my mate. I removed some of her hair that was on my face so I could see clearly and I instantly regretted it. The light penetrated my eyes and I quickly shut them back. I groaned once I realized the window blind was opened and that was because of the hot weather last night. I tried lifting Crystina down from my body but she clutched my hand as if our lives depended on it. I grinned from ear to ear as she whined, mumbling incoherent words in her dreams. I kissed her cheek gently and she beamed. She was hugging me tightly, her head on my chest this time. She looked so beautiful and adorable with her pretty smile. She looked so peaceful and calm. After a few minutes, I was able to remove myself from her and get out of bed. I walked to the window first to close it but stopped to take a peak outside.People were already out, walk
Luka's POVOne of the strategies for winning a war was understanding your enemy. Knowing their tactics, strength, and weaknesses helps to determine how you'll attack them, defeat them and have victory. It helps to strengthen your own strategy and makes your warriors untouchable and at the end of the day undefeatable. It reduces the number of death and casualties and makes you more powerful and fearless. It gives you the courage to tread upon the head of your opponent. Those were the words of my father but now I realize I didn't understand one bit of Draenei. The more I learn about him, the more I realized it was likely I lose if a war breaks out. I'd always thought this man must be the devil's right hand but it seems Baba is right. We're dealing with the devil himself. His strategies at keeping his minions shut are crazy and unbelievable strategy. The werewolves and vampires had been at war for centuries. I used to read stories of them as a child and prayed I never have to risk the
Luka's POV"It became the valley of death," I scrutinized him. "What do you mean by that?" He shrugged, paused for a minute, and walked to my desk. He removed a note from the table and suddenly stopped to stare at my laptop. Charles winked at me and gave me a suspicious smirk. I rolled my eyes immediately after I realized what he meant."The people that I saw called it that. I went back to the pack on my way back from the Maldives. I wanted to say hi to the Alpha after leaving him in such a terrible state but I couldn't even get close to the borders," "Why? What had happened?" He sighed. "I can't say if the Alpha is still alive though because I never got to talk to him on the phone after that," I glared at him as I got more impatient. Charles has the attitude of digressing away from a topic when discussing a serious problem. He usually switches from one topic to another and gets on others' nerves. "Learn to have patience, Luka," "You should be the one to learn how to answer ques
