Craving My Ex Luna 106
Erica:We got to Dante's office and I was washed over with anxiety. Javier looked at me and his hand brushed against mine.“Are you alright? You seem tense."I managed a smile and gave a nod.“I'm alright. I'm just thinking about yesterday at the hospital. I expect him to be sour towards you.”Javier chuckled.“I wouldn't be too worried about that."I gave a sigh and we went inside. I passed the head of the council and his behind Javier and had him shuffle forward towards the staircase that led upstairs.“What is…”“Keep moving," I whispered violently to him.Javier said nothing and moved forward, shielding me till we were out of sight.“What is going on?" He finally asked me once we were out of earshot.I straightened up.“He's the head of the council. I don't like him very much. He's been trying to push his daughter on to Dante and he thinks that I am responsible for his lack of interest in her.”Javier's eyes opened wide.“It seems that there is more drama in here than I thought.

Clarissa:I came over and saw Lorenzo in the living room. He stood up and walked over to me but I gave him the cold shoulder and resisted his touch.“Rissa?”I stepped away from him. My aura was cold and distant.“You asked me to come over again for the kids. Where are they?”I could see the confusion in Lorenzo's eyes but I ignored it and stood far off from him.“Clarissa, what is the problem?"I felt the tears about to burst from my eyes and I blinked rapidly so that I could hold them back.“There is no problem Lorenzo. I came for the kids.”“They're upstairs sleeping. I was able to get them to have a nap.”“And Erica?”“She went out for a meeting. She probably won't be back anytime soon. Clarissa, tell me what is going on. Why are you acting this way?’He moved towards me again and his palm brushed my cheek. I slapped his hand away and turned my back on him.I tried my hardest to keep the tears at bay but they broke through my defenses and a stream flowed down my cheeks.“You lied

Erica:“Dante stop this! You're being unreasonable!"Dante had walked over to Javier and the both of them were in a heated argument. Javier was standing calmly behind me while Dante was snarling threats at him.“Dante!"I stood between the two of them and tried my best to keep them away from each other. I had no idea how this had escalated so fast.I was grateful that Javier was being so composed. He simply stood behind me, staring quietly yet intensely at Dante.“You want to be a smart talker. Why don't you say what you said earlier to my face!"I was barely strong enough to keep Dante at bay. I turned back and glared at Javier.“You have to go. You can't stay here.""And what about you?” he asked.“I'll be fine. You should go. We can talk later."Javier was reluctant and he didn't listen. He still stood in the room. His golden eyes were still daring Dante to take him on if he dared.“Javier!"He looked at me.“Go!"He was hesitant but he finally left the room and Dante and I were le

Erica:Laura stormed out and I was left alone with Dante. He grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him but I used my hands to wedge myself, keeping him from pulling me any closer.My lips were still tingly from his kisses and his scent had invaded my nostrils and I was slowly feeling weak in the knees.“Erica, I…”"Dante, I have to go.”I disentangled myself from his embrace. He tried to grab my hand but I pulled away and stepped back.If he touched me, I wasn't sure that I could resist him."Erica, where are you going?”"Home, Dante. The meeting is over and I think that you have business to settle with Laura and the head of the council.”He rushed towards me but I put a hand out.“Dante, stop this. I need to go home.”He stopped in his tracks and stared at me in utter disbelief."But, Erica…"“Goodbye, Dante. Have a good day."I walked out of the office and closed the doors behind me. In the hallway, I took a deep breath. The smell of his cologne still clung to me and I felt myself

Dante:I watched Erica leave and my heart sank. I wanted her to stay. I wanted to go after her but I knew that that would only push her away even further.I bit my lip in anger and slammed my fist on the desk. I was about to lash out even more when I heard the door open.“Alpha, the head of the council is back and he made an appoint…”"Cancel it. I don't want to see him, Robert.”My Beta stood at the door and looked at me. I avoided his gaze and walked past him, out of the meeting hall.I wasn't going to go downstairs. I had a hunch that Laura and her father would be waiting for me. That wasn't the sort of tight spot that I wanted to put myself in.I went to my office and slammed the door shut.A sigh escaped my lips and I leaned on my desk.I heard the wood creak slightly and it bore my entire weight.“Fuck all this!"I yelled out angrily and slammed my fist on the desk. The pens jumped on the vibrating wood and heavy silence hung around me.“If I see the Javier guy again, it will be

Laura:I covered my mouth and backed into a corner as fast as I could. My heart was pounding in my chest.From my secluded corner, I could see Dante poke his head out of his office. He looked around and I felt my lungs collapse in on themselves.Oh fuck! He was going to find me.He stepped out of his office and looked around. I could feel the tears beginning to form in my eyes. I was so screwed.I closed my eyes so tight and prayed that he wouldn't find me.It felt like an eternity but I soon heard this office door click shut.I felt the air rush back into my lungs. I was heady and could barely stay upright on my feet.I had come to look for Lorenzo. I was determined to make sure that he saw my father. I knew that he had been putting off the meeting on purpose.I wanted to burst into his office and expose him for the liar that he was but I overheard him talking to himself and decided to listen.I waited for a while, before crawling out of my little hiding corner.It was no hidden fact

Laura:“Mate?..."The hands let go of me. I was still shaken but I wasn't scared.Who was this man?“Argh!"I was pinned to the wall with such force that the wind was knocked from my chest.A hand caressed my cheek and I could feel warm fanning against my face.“Mate."The stranger grunted back in a deep husky voice. Shivers ran down my spine. My breathing was out of control.There was a heavy silence between us. I wanted to say something but my voice was trapped in my throat.Suddenly, I felt a pair of lips smashed against mine.The taste was divine.The hand left my cheek and ran through my hair. I leaned into his touch and he pressed himself closer to me.I could his other hand pinned one of my hands against the wall and I clasped fingers with this dark stranger.“Where have you been all my life?"The voice growled deep in my ears and my legs turned to jelly. He wrapped his arm around my waist and helped me stand upright.His lips were soft and succulent, his desire for me was rave

Erica:“Where is that missing page? Maybe it is wedged somewhere in this bookI flipped through the book again and again as I lay on my bed in my roomStill nothing.I had flipped to book from cover to cover but it was still the same.I sighed and flopped on the bed. This was exhausting.I heard a gentle knock on my door and I closed the book and slid it under my pillow.“Come in.”The door opened slowly on Lorenzo poked his head through with his nervous smile on his face. I still didn't understand why he was acting so weird.“Erica, I think I'll be going out for a bit. I need some fresh air. I've been feeling a bit woozy.”He gave a nervous smile and I was dying to ask what was wrong with him.I opened my mouth to ask but I immediately clamped it shut.Did I really want to know? Maybe it was best that I didn't.“Sure, darling. Just don't stay out too late.”He blew me a kiss and disappeared.Blew me a kiss? He had never done that before. His strange attitude filled me with concern an

Laura’s POVI watched as Lisa and her father breezed through the crowd. It wasn’t difficult to tell that she was thoroughly bored. I couldn’t blame her. Her father looked like a stuffy stuck-up man.I turned my head and caught sight of Rusev watching me like a hawk. I grumbled. I hated him. Why did my mate think it a good idea to leave me stuck with him?I shadowed Mr. Hans as he dragged his daughter along, greeting dignitaries and other stuck-up people like himself.A waiter passed me and I grabbed another glass of champagne. How was I going to get Lisa away from her old man?My mind kicked into overdrive, and soon, an idea hit me. I sighed and winced in disgust as it continued to take shape in my head. It wasn’t pleasant but I had to do it. I guess that was one other purpose of the dress I wore.I took another sip of my champagne and strutted sexily towards Mr. Hans. He caught a glimpse of me through the corner of his eye and was soon fully facing my direction.A dirt smirk crept on

Erica’s POVThe guards stopped him before he could come any closer.“What are you doing here?!” My mother yelled as the guards blocked Dante’s path towards me.“I need to see Erica. This is important.”My mother’s eyes bore down on him. I turned away; I could barely look at him. Did he come here to ruin my fathers funeral as well? Wasn’t he tired of ruining my life?“Guards! Take him away!”They stormed up to him and Dante began to back away.“Erica! I need to talk to you! Tell them to stop!”His voice calling my name was driving me insane. It was because of him that my life was ruined. Couldn’t he just stop meddling in my life.“Erica!”The guards grabbed him and began to drag him away. I watched him as he struggled and yelled at me. The guests all watched in awe. I already had more than enough gossip circling around me. I didn’t want anymore.“Erica!”There was a gasp and the guards were on the floor. Dante had broken free and was dashing towards me. My knees began to shake. I wante

Laura’s POV“Room service!”I put on my bathrobe and walked to the door. I didn’t order room service. I clutched my robe tighter to my body and opened the door just a crack.A lady stood there with a box in her hands. Was that a delivery for me?“Are you Miss Laura?”“Yes.”I felt a little emboldened and opened the door a little wider. The lady was dressed in formal wear, a little too formal for her to be in the room service business.“I have a package for you.”She handed it to me, and I looked at the tag attached to it. I couldn't help but smile.“I may not be with you, but I want all eyes to be on you and for every man to drool at the sight of you and wish you were theirs. But they can’t have you. You are MINE. Mate.”I smiled and felt a warm fuzzy feeling bubble inside of me. He wasn’t here, but he knew how to make me feel like he was.“Thank you.”I hurried back into my room, trying my best not to squeal like an excited seven-year-old. I hadn’t expected a dress for the party. I

Erica’s POVMy fingers were trembling as I did Ethan's bow tie. I had tried not to cry. It had been hard to keep my emotions in check while we planned the funeral. Everyone was still scared of me but the condolences they gave brought tears to my eyes every time I heard them.Today would be the first time in weeks that I would lay eyes on my father’s body and would never see it again.“Don’t be sad, Mom.”Ethan pulled me into a hug as soon as I lifted my fingers from his bowtie. He was such a sweet boy.“I am fine, love.-”I stroked his hair and kissed it.“-Go and find your sisters while I get ready.”He hurried away and I was left alone in my room. I looked at the mirror one more time and noticed the tears in my eyes starting to fall. My mascara was slightly smudged and I hurriedly wiped my face and did a fresh application.My thoughts were weighed down by thoughts of my father. It was draining. I couldn't imagine how disappointed he was in me. Mom kept telling me that it wasn’t true

Clarissa's POV“Lorenzo, please wake up."I sat beside him as he lay on the living room couch with his head on my lap. His forehead was covered in sweat and his eyes were blank and white.My heart was racing. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to give him CPR, but I didn't know if what he had was infectious.I couldn't count the number of times I had placed my head on his chest to make sure that his heart was still beating. His breath was faint, and his skin was clammy and cold.I couldn't take this anymore. I should have called for help sooner and damned the fact that the entire pack probably hated us.My fingers shook as I grabbed my phone and began to dial the numbers.Suddenly, Lorenzo gasped and his eyes cleared up slowly. My fingers shook even more as I watched him silently take in the room.“Lorenzo," I whispered, terrified to the core.His eyes finally fell and focused on me. I held my breath.“Rissa?"He tried to sit up but I slowly eased his head back into my lap.“Don't try

Erica's POVThe meeting finally came to an end and I was grateful. I remained seated with my mother and we watched the counselors leave.Counselor Rufus gave me a death stare before he left the room. I turned to look at my mother and her face was impassive until we could no longer see his fake hair through the open door.“Good riddance!" she exclaimed, and her face relaxed, and she smiled at me.I returned with a nervous grin though my fingers were knotting frantically on my lap.“It's going to be alright, Erica. I will not let the counselors treat you like trash. They are just a bunch of old fools that are stuck in the past. I believe that you will make a good Luna."Her words made my nervous smile fade.“You know that I won't be a good, Luna. You saw how they looked at me. Everyone is afraid of me. I can't even get through the hallway without a maid or guard seeing me and flinching.”I lowered my head and heard my mother sigh. Her fingers intertwined with mine, stopping my frantical

Clarissa's POVMy eyes watered as I chopped up the onions. I set the knife down and paced around the counter as the broth bubbled in the pot.As I stared at the boiling pot, a flash of Erica came into my mind. Her monstrous form and the death of her father. The purple hue on his skin was exactly the same as that on Lorenzo's arm.It just didn't make sense. I asked my assassin to kill Erica. Why didn't he do it? Was he a fraud?I had tried to contact him severally, but his phone rang, and there was no answer. Had I been duped?I gritted my teeth at the thought and turned my attention to the bubbling broth. It was time to put the vegetables.The onion went in first, and then the carrots and peppers.This was my first time in Lorenzo's home back at our pack. It was beautiful. Luxurious, nothing like my home back at the pack Erica was sent to.My watery eyes scanned the room and I exhaled. There had been so much drama in just a few days.A shiver ran down my spine. I didn't expect to see

Erica's POVI walked to the meeting hall and felt my breath being hitched in my throat. The maids, as they walked past me, gave me terrified greetings and hurried off in the other direction.It did nothing for my nerves. I could only imagine what the council was going to say.I soon reached the door that led to the hall and stood outside of it for a while. My heart was racing, and I was clutching it with my left hand as if it would do something to make it calm down.“Easy, Erica. Easy. This is just a meeting. Nothing more."I pushed the glossy black wooden door open and finally walked into the room. As soon as I was guided across the carpet to My spot beside my mother, I could feel all eyes on me.It was so hard to fight the urge to look over the room. A few of the counselors were whispering as I walked in, and above three were staring at me, their faces white with fear.I sat down next to my mother and the seven counselors stood in greeting. The man who sat at my left-hand side was f

Erica's POVI lay in bed quietly. The silence in the house was thick, but I could hear the whispers of the maids as they passed my room door.They were all scared and I couldn't blame them.I had asked my mother to watch the kids for me while I got some time to rest. This all felt extremely overwhelming for me.I felt strange being here. My father was gone, and it was like a big chunk of the pack house had been ripped off.I buried myself deeper into my covers, the comforter soaking up my silent tears as they rolled down my cheeks.“I miss you, Dad. I am so sorry that I failed you. I… I was just so weak and I didn't know what to do…”The tears choked my words and soon burst out but were muffled by the comforter.If only he was alive, he would probably know what to do. I wasn't even sure about how to get the Living Gem. Worst of all, I didn't even know what to do with it once I got it.A cold draft of wind blew through the window, chilled my fingers, and dried up my tears, leaving stre
