Crystina's POVAfter we left the school, we went ahead to a restaurant for lunch. I planned on asking him about what changed or am I supposed to just accept this new change and move on with it like it's nothing? I'm curious about what could be going on in Luka's head and every time I try to make sense of it, I hit a dead end. "Are you okay? You've been staring at the meal for minutes without touching it?" My head whipped up to look at him and the meal. I realized I'd been holding the fork and knife for a long time without touching the meal. "Yeah, I'm good," I faked a smile."Do you want me to order another meal for you? Do you want to eat something else? Do you feel nauseous?" He asked all at once. I grinned. "The meal is okay. I was just preoccupied with some thoughts," He held my gaze and slid his hand over mine. "What were you thinking about?" "The size of these tables," I lied.The answer I gave him was stupid. I knew it was absurd but that was the closest thing I could thi
Crystina's POVIt's been over a month since Luka let everyone know what has been going on within the pack and I also found out about his uncle for the first time in eleven years. I was actually surprised when Paige told me about it and I found it hard to believe. I had to ask Luka about it and he confirmed. When I asked why the relationship between them was estranged, he didn't give me an explanation, he said it has been that way even when his father was alive.As for Samer who left the pack on that same day, we haven't heard from him and he also didn't send us a message. For the first two weeks, Paige was worried about him. She could barely go a day without talking about Samer but after we realized it appeared he was gone for good, she accepted the new change. Everything hasn't really been the same in the pack for a long time and I wasn't an exception. My face was changing, my entire body was changing and it was getting obvious that a new being was growing inside of me. I spat out
Crystina's POVAs soon as those words left the doctor's mouth, a loud, tingling repeated ringing resounded in my ears. It felt as if I wasn't in the room anymore. I could feel my lips quivering and I suddenly felt cold. My heart was beating so rapidly against my chest and I found the room spinning."Canim," The voice sounded so far away. I wanted to respond but I didn't know which direction I was supposed to face."CANIM!" I blinked continuously as I was pulled into reality by Luka's voice. He was staring at me with a deep frown on his face. He looked so worried that I found it alarming. "Are you okay?" I nodded. I sniffled and that was when it occurred to me that I was crying already. It seems everything in the entire universe was against me at the moment.It's my fault! It's your fault, Crystina. I'm being punished for wanting to abort this baby in the first place. I caused this bad omen that's on my child. I'm a terrible mother."I need you to calm down Luna," The doctor advise
Luka's POVMy heart ached as I watched Crystina crying, blaming herself for the risk she and her baby would be facing. I didn't know what else to say to make her believe that it wasn't her fault. Things get complicated in life sometimes and during those times, we try to find an explanation as to why things are like that but unfortunately, we don't get to know why most of the time.After she calmed down, we went back to the doctor's office to let him know we'll be going ahead with the pregnancy. Crystina's decision wasn't the best but I was ready to stick with her. I'm scared, the heavens know how sacred I am but I can't let that show because Crystina needs me the most at this every moment.The doctor advised us on some of the things that she should avoid doing, some foods she should stay away from, and instead of a monthly visit to the hospital, it has to be weekly. If it gets better, he'll allow us to come every two weeks. I realized the journey ahead won't be an easy one, especiall
Luka's POVI pulled Crystina into me the more and kissed her lips like a hungry animal. The kiss wasn't slow this time, it was fast, hurried, and heated. It was a passionate moment between us and I loved it that way. Her hands were in my hair while my hand was all over her body. I was so tense that I thought I would eat her whole up even before I can get her to bed.It's been a while since we had sex, I'm hoping I don't mess this up. Moreover, she is pregnant, I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt her and her baby.My heart raced against my chest as I felt light on my feet. I didn't have any other choice than to pull back. If I took it too far and hurt her, I would hate myself."What's wrong?" A frown appeared on her face as she stared at me. "I don't want to hurt you," She hugged me. Crystina didn't say a word but she made me place my head on her Chet's as she held me tightly. I guess she was worried as well. "I thought you didn't want me for a minute," I held her waist. "NO, I w
Crystina's POVI opened my eyes the next morning to sunlight streaming into the room. I groaned, closed my eyes back, and covered my eyes with my arm. I turned on my side to avoid the light but something heavy was stopping me from making the movement. Sluggishly I opened my eyes again, getting them adjusted to the light before I looked down to my waist and saw Luka's large arm pinning me down to the bed.I turned my head to stare at his sleeping form. He was bare from head to toe. The blanket was merely covering his groin as it was only in between his legs. The sun shone on his skin, glistening and shiny. He looked so peaceful and gorgeous in his sleep. I trailed down his face with the tip of my finger. My fingertip was barely dancing on his skin because I was trying not to wake him up. His full, beautiful lips reminded me of what he did to me last night with them. I bite down on my lip as the memory of the previous night rushed through my head. It was beautiful.Fucking beautiful lik
Luka's POV The next morning after breakfast, I got a call from my Beta, Baba, because of an emergency. It's been up to three days since I left the responsibility of the pack on his shoulder and told him to only call me when there was an emergency. Knowing he had a family of his own and would probably love to spend time with that, I had to explain to him what happened between Crystina and the baby and how I would also relieve him of his duties when I fully resume. He agreed earnestly and told me not to worry about anything. Even though he waved away the idea of getting a break, I still believe he deserves it."I'll see you later, Mi Amor," I kissed Crystina's lips as I picked up the jacket I would be wearing. She was sitting on a sofa in the living room, facing the door as if she wanted me to see her before I leave. "Will you be back soon?" It was because of how low her voice was that made me turn around to look at her again.She was pouting and her eyes were glistening. She suddenl
Crystina's POVPaige bowed slightly as she walked past Luka. I watched his back disappear out of the door and my shoulder slumped. How do I already miss him so much when he just left the apartment a few seconds ago? His scent was still lingering in the air and I could still feel his kisses on my temple. My hormones were playing the cat and rat games with my emotions and I wasn't winning in any way."Miss him already?" Paige asked. I nodded. There was no reason to lie about that because it was so obvious that I do."Have you always been this clingy or it's the pregnancy driving you crazy?" I glared at her. She laughed and took a seat beside me. She picked up a magazine from the table, flipped through the pictures, clicked her tongue, and placed it back. She picked the remote next. It was the first time she would be coming here ever since I moved in and knowing Paige to be Paige, she'll always be comfortable around me."How come you're here? Did I miss one of our appointments?" I asked
