LUKAS’ POVI could tell by the look that grace was giving me that whatever she was about to tell me was big news. I was nervous. Not a lot of things made me nervous, but Grace always did and this time it had nothing to do with the decisions that she had made for herself or a man that she had been with, but it had everything to do with me. This was about my life and quite possibly the future of this pack. I tried to convince myself that whatever she told me couldn’t be that bad and that if it was, I was just going to take it like a man and not allow it to bring me down. I couldn’t allow Grace to bring me down. As a matter of fact, I doubted she had anything to tell me at all. That’s right, she was probably nervous because she had nothing to tell me and this was yet another task that she had failed. I took a deep breath and gulped down the 5th glass of rum that I had poured for myself. What if Elena was preparing to leave me? I wondered and I realized that I was torturing myself by goin
DAMIEN’S POVAfter finding that letter in Lukas’ office, I was very positive about my future with Elena. When I first came here, I never thought that I would end up finding my mate and my home. Not only had I found my home, but I had also discovered that this home had been stolen from me. Now that I was putting Chalres’ story and what had happened to me together, I realized that Lukas was the one who was responsible for everything. He must have been the one who caused the accident that robbed me of my memory. This was the only explanation that made sense to me. He had managed to get away with his crimes long enough and now that I was here I was going to make sure that everyone knew what he was.I still didn’t remember everything about my past life, but I was slowly remembering some things. One thing that I could definitely remember was the fact that I had received Charles’ message in form of a letter just like he had said. I didn’t know what made him send me that message. I mean he ha
LUKAS’ POVI had been going crazy going over what Grace had just told me about Elena and Damien. How could I have been so stupid? How did I not see that this was happening when all the signs were there? I wanted to confront Elenabut at the same time I was afraid to. I was afraid that a confrontation would probably end with me attacking her and I didn’t want to hurt her. I didn’t want to hurt her, but lately, she had just been pushing me to do that. For now, I was going to have to settle for dealing with Damien. He was the one who had come here and turned my entire life upside down. Elena was very afraid of me and I didn’t believe that she would ever think of doing this to me if it wasn’t for Damien. I was going to get rid of them before this got out of hand and before something worse happened.I hadn't told Mike about what was happening and I wasn’t planning to, Mike was very impulsive and a little too trigger-happy for my liking. I didn’t want him to kill Damien. If he was to die, th
ELENA’S POVI hadn’t been feeling well for a few days now and the fact that Lukas was back kind of made me feel worse. I still hadn’t seen him and I couldn’t help wondering why that was so, but Lukas wasn’t the only one who had gone AWOL on me. Damien also hadn’t come to see me and that just made me all the more anxious. I was still a little bitter that Damien and I hadn’t gotten the opportunity to make the most of the last night we had together, but I tried to understand that he was searching for answers. I hoped that he had found the information that he was searching for because I highly doubted that he would ever get that chance again now that Lukas was back.Another odd thing that was happening was the fact that Grace also hadn’t been coming to see me ever since Lukas came back. As a matter of fact, I hadn’t seen her ever since he returned from his trip. I tried hard to ignore this but I just couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, something was going on and I wanted to
DAMIEN’S POV I hadn't even gotten the chance to pack my things before I left, Lukas hadn't given me enough time to gather my thoughts or even plan what my next move would be. I was however able to speak to Charles briefly and let him know what had happened to me. I honestly didn't know where to go and it wasn't like I had many options. I had no choice but to go back where I had ccome from. I couldn’t go back to Jack’s pack beause I was unsure of how he would feel if he knew that the woman that he had so badly wannted was actually my mate and I was willing to kill anyone who tried to stop me from being with her. I honestly felt like meeting Elena and spending time with her had brought out the alpha in me and i was ready to challenge anyone who tried to tried to seperate us.However, the last thing I wanted was to be hunted by him too. I didn’t believe that Lukas would just allow me to go free after finding out that Elena was my mate and I also knew his secret. I was convinced that he
ELENA’S POVLukas had been acting very strange ever since he and I got here, on the one hand, he was treating me well as a matter of fact he wasn’t allowing me to do anything for myself but on the other hand, he was refusing to let me out of his sight. It was as if he was afraid that I would run away from him or disappear into thin air. Even though that was exactly what I wanted to do I couldn’t do it because I didn’t know where we were, even if I managed to flee from him I wouldn’t probably get lost in the woods and I was too afraid to try that. Lukas would stare at me for no reason and at some point during the night I woke up to find him sitting next to me and just staring at me. We had gone back to sharing the bed but he hadn’t even tried to touch me. I figured that was probably because I told him that I was pregnant and he was afraid that if he tried anything he would hurt me and the baby and I could understand that. However, no matter how many explanations I gave myself concerni
LUKAS’ POVAll my life I had been feeling misunderstood and I felt that I needed to explain myself to Elena for her to understand why I did what I had done. She needed to understand why I had chosen to take her with me and why she had to stay with me even though she had found her mate. She still didn’t know that I knew that Damien was her mate but I was about to tell her. I wanted to explain the monster I had become first before explaining to her why I brought her here. The reason why I felt the need to explain myself was not because I was feeling bad about the things I had done to her, but because I wanted to understand why it was important to me that she stayed with me and that the safety of this baby was my priority.I didn’t owe anyone an explanation for my actions and that included Elena. As far as I was concerned, I had done what I had to do and that was nothing to be ashamed of. If I had the opportunity to do things all over again, I would probably do them the same way and I wo
ELENA’S POVI couldn’t believe the sad life that Lukas had lived, in a way I kind of felt like he was also a victim of his own father as much as Damien and his family were too. I knew that Damien would strongly disagree with this but Lukas had done what he did out of respect and love for his father. That is not to say that he was forced to do something he didn’t want to do because he seemed to be enjoying torturing other people but at the same time I felt like he was never given any other choice. I felt like Lukas embraced the life he had been given by his father maybe because he felt he didn’t have any other choice, I had never met his father, and my assumptions were only based on the short story that Lukas had given me. When I first met Lukas I never asked myself what the story behind his actions was. I always thought that he was motivated by his own guilt but I was shocked to be proven wrong.After the shocking conversation I had with Lukas I went to bed and left him on the couch.
