Craving My Ex Luna 132
Erica:I sat at home and the kids played with their toys. I watched them but my mind had drifted far off.Lorenzo his morning for his doctor's appointment. Part of me was happy that he left. My wolf seemed uncomfortable around him though he had been nothing but wonderful to me.I sighed. Maybe it was the guilt I felt for sleeping with Dante. It still haunted me and yet, deep down in my soul, I still craved him.I had spent the night with Lorenzo. For the first time in many nights, we slept together. My skin crawled as he wrapped his arms around me.My every instinct was to push him away. I couldn't explain the relief that I felt when he let go of me turned over, and fell asleep.I didn't sleep much and spent the whole night being lost in thought.Part of me didn't believe Lorenzo but I had no evidence to doubt him earlier. It did make sense why he would be embarrassed to tell me and why he would want to sleep in a different room.But, something was off. His eyes…they seemed shady and

Dante:“Damn it!”I was close to slamming the phone on the floor. Erica was still ignoring my calls.I growled and shoved the phone back into my pocket. I was at the hospital and it was a mess. The doctors were running around and the security officers were posted at the door, trying to keep Laura's dad and the other crazy members of the council out of the hospital.I looked at my watch. Fuck! It was getting late. What was taking them so long?I could hear the ruckus that came from outside and the council members violently yelling and demanding that they be allowed inside the hospital.I scoffed. Those old geezers were not going to come in here until the tests were done.I pulled out my phone and dialed Erica's number again. If only she would talk to me. I knew deep down that Laura wasn't pregnant for me. If only Erica would pick up my calls and I could explain everything to her…“Dante!"My ears were pierced by a high-pitched yell. I turned my head around.Fuck! What was she doing her

Erica:Saturday rolled around the corner pretty quickly. The entire week I was on edge and it wasn't just me. Lorenzo seemed more unhinged than usual and Dante's calls came in so frequently that I had to make the painful decision of blocking him.I had to focus on this date. I was determined to make it up to Lorenzo for not being there for him when he needed me.I exhaled as I stood in front of the dressing mirror putting on earrings. Lorenzo had gotten me a new dress for the occasion. It was a beautiful dress that was just perfect for a summer evening. Not too casual and not too flashy.However, something about his gifts didn't sit well with me. They made me uncomfortable and put my wolf I'll at ease.For days she sat in my head, moping and moody. I still couldn't get her to see reason. We couldn't be with Dante.I was finally able to get my earrings on. I was about to fasten my necklace around my neck when I felt someone behind me.I turned around and gasped in surprise.“Lorenzo?"

Clarissa:My heart skipped a beat. My plans began to feel sweaty. My heart was racing and my breath was heavy.They…they knew each other?! He never mentioned that!This is bad. This is really bad. Lorenzo was just as shocked as I was and he cast me a look of accusation but I shrugged lightly. I didn't know this. I was just as confused as he was.Erica and Javier were still looking at each other. She was flabbergasted but Javier kept a smile on his face. What was up with this guy? What did he want with Erica?“Javier…you're…you're Clarissa's mate?”He smiled and his bright golden eyes lit up. They looked so warm and innocent, nothing like the gaze he gave us when he came to my house to strike this bargain with me."Yes. She has told me a lot about you but I didn't think that it was the same Erica. This is a shock for me as well.”My heart was still beating violently. I was already uncomfortable about the way he was holding me and now, this had to come up.Lorenzo glared at me and I saw

Erica:“Erica, will you…will you make me the happiest man and marry me?”He held my hand tenderly.I sat staring at the ring that was just a few centimeters from my fingers. My heart was pounding in my chest.How long had he had this planned? Was this why he was acting all funny these past few days?I felt the tension in the room multiply. All eyes were on me. Everyone was expecting me to say ‘yes’.My insides churned. I felt so uncomfortable.I saw the deep brown of Lorenzo's eyes. Something about them was off.I had watched movies and had seen the glee and bundled excitement that was in the man's eyes when he popped the question. He was happy and it almost felt like the happiness radiated all around and even out of the screen.But now, I was here. It was my turn and all I could feel for this man on his knees before me was…Nothing.I felt nothing for him. No love, no affection. Part of me felt that I could tell that he had no real love for me either. His beautiful brown eyes were pl

Dante:I was in my room. It was a mess. The furniture was turned upside down and the bedding was all over the floor.I sat in the corner of the room. I was a miserable mess. A bottle of wine was a few inches from my foot.In my hands, I had another bottle, half drunk.I took another swing and the liquid filled my mouth again and filled my stomach with a comforting warmth as it went down my throat.My phone was beside me and its screen was bright. Erica's number was the only thing glaring at me. I had called her ever since the incident at the hospital but there was still nothing.“Fuck!"I slammed my head on the wall behind me. My wolf was miserable. I hadn't seen her for days and I didn't know that it would take this toll on me.I had Laura out of my life. I could be with her now. I just needed her to give me a chance to explain things. Why wouldn't she pick my calls?I took another large gulp from the bottle of wine that I had in my hand. I didn't have any other numbers that I could

Dante: Monday rolled around the corner and I was in my office. Sunday was busy and I didn't get a wink of sleep. I had really let myself go. I had stubbles on my beard and my hair had grown unkept. I got a well-deserved haircut and shave. I needed to look perfect. I sat impatiently in my office. Erica had told me that she was coming by 9 a.m. I had come an entire hour early and now I was stuck looking frantically at my watch. The minutes seemed to pass by slowly. I felt anxiety rise inside of me. It was soul-crushing. I could barely take it. It was 8:30 a.m. I had managed to wait thirty gruesome minutes. I could… Knock! Knock! My heart skipped a beat. She was here. I readjusted my cuffs but soon the scent hit me. That wasn't Erica. The door opened and Robert came inside. He had a grin on his face as he looked me over. “What a transformation. I was getting worried about you. When you came out of your room yesterday, I almost didn't recognize you." He took up a seat and I star

Dante: Robert turned to the door and left. I felt my claws sink into the table but I put myself under control. “Come in." Erica walked in and I felt my wolf leap at the sight of her. I could barely control myself. My breathing was erratic and my body was tense. I wanted to grab her and kiss her. I wanted to make her mine. “Erica…” Her name was like milk on my tongue and it escaped my lips in a desire-filled breathy way. Her eyes dazzled me but in their beauty, there was a deep sadness. I rushed to her. My body wanted to feel her against it. I wanted to relish the scent of her perfume and hair. I wanted… “Stop." She put a hand out in front of me and I stopped in my tracks. “Good morning, Dante.–" Her voice and mannerisms were cold. She clutched her bag close to her chest and stood away from me. “–May I have a seat?" I hurriedly gestured to a chair and she sat down. I sat down as well. My eyes feasted on her and I felt all my desires for her spring to life once more. I was s

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
