Luca POV

I look at my reflection, and I can’t help it as a chuckle escapes me. I am wearing a three-piece suit and a diamond wristwatch, and all I can think about is how Rose has reduced me to this.

Don’t get me wrong, I usually wear shirts and trousers, but it is only for meetings, even when I have decided to ask a girl out on a date. I had never worn a suit or put on my favorite perfume to impress her. Everybody knows who I am and every girl would kill to have me on her bed.

But here I am, trying to look as perfect as I can for Rose. This is the first time I am going on an actual date with someone.

A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts; my muscles tighten, and I take one last look at myself. Hope she would be okay with my dressing.

“Come in,” I say, and the door opens slowly, revealing a breathtaking Rose. She is putting on a sky-blue satin gown with matching shoes. Her hair is packed high in a bun decorated with some hair pieces. My eyes travel around her body before it lands

    Luca POV“Celeste,” I say and she gives me a knowing smile. She seems to have captivated Rose, or maybe she is usually smitten by old people.“Isn’t she our Luna?” she asks.I glare at her, and she returns it with a smile. She was there when I swore to Rose that I would take everything that gave him happiness and I guess she is mistaking my vow on the date, but it is far from that. I want to spend time with Rose and make her more happy.“Yes,” I nod. Daring her to speak one more word. But she presses her lips into a tight line. “I see.” She nods and shows us inside. By the time we enter, the place is almost empty. My eyes scan the place immediately. Wow! The place has changed since I last visited here. I hate visiting this place because it reminds me of Jenny, my mate. I met her here; she broke my trust here, and I was here reminiscing our memory when I got the call that my cousin and my best friend who was Lorenzo killed her.Although Lorenzo did not kill her, he played a role in h

    Rose pov.Ever since I mentioned the museum date, Luca had been behaving strangely. Seemed distant, always lost in his thoughts. It’s as if the museum brings back memories he wants to keep behind. Memories that are hurting him. Seeing him this empty and distant leaves me with an overwhelming desire to crawl underneath his skin, find out what is wrong, and take it away. At first, I thought it was because he did not want me or maybe he was scared of being seen with me, but right now, it seems I have never been the problem.When I notice it, I try asking him about it, but he cleverly dodges the question by giving me a mind-blowing orgasm in the car. The fact that he let me fill his car with my moan while he drove drives me insane, and for some goddamn reason, I find it incredibly attractive.Then we got to the museum, and he immediately became tensed. Though he tried to hide it, I could feel it through his sweaty palm and his tightened muscles, although I refused to ask him. It is not a

    Rose povMy jaw dropped immediately as I entered the palace and saw Finn standing in front of Russell and Lorenzo, who had a frown on their faces. Luca immediately tightened his grip on my waist. What was he doing here? He said he would give me three days, so why the hell was he here? For days, I haven’t even gotten the chance to see Merlin or Lexie. I was not even ready to leave Luca. Is not as if I was going to follow him, anyway. The mate bond was there. I felt the pull. It was nothing to compare to what I shared with Luca. My clothes still had his musky scent around me.“What are you doing here?” I asked in an evenly calm voice. Trying to hide whatever anger was welling up within me.He strolled towards me, his bodyguard at his back. All armed with daggers and guns. He was wearing a three-piece black suit and a black shoe. He would normally look attractive to others, but not to me. The only attractive wolf I knew was Luca, and I intend to keep it that way.He reached out to caress

    Rose POVMy feet immediately grew cold. Jenny? She was Luca’s mate. I thought she was dead. How come she was alive, and,” no one knew?I glared at Finn, who returned it with an intense smile. Was this all a game to him? A game to separate me from Luca? Well, he was a fool if it was ever going to happen.“Jenny?” Luca called in a soft pleading voice. I never thought his voice could be this soft for someone like him.“Luca,” she answered and walked up to him, pushing me aside. I staggered, but Finn grabbed my waist, helping me gain balance.Luca’s eyes softened immediately. He has never looked at me this way. His gaze roamed around her face. He raised his hands to caress her face but held it mid-way. His eyes bore fear. What would happen if she was not real? It was as if he was praying for her to be real.He finally touched her face, letting his finger roam around her face before he cupped her cheek. Jenny leaned into his touch and his expression softened the more. He has never been th

    Rose povI called Daina and watched as she arranged my clothes for my departure. I haven’t seen Russell ever since Finn came. Guess he never cared for me.A knock on the door interrupted my packing session. “Come in,” I said.The door opened, revealing Lorenzo. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and ask him out. What had he come here to do? To ask me out of the palace, if that was the case I already knew because Finn was waiting for me outside, or maybe he had come to rub it on my face and call me a whore.I focused on zipping my luggage while the silence existed. “If you are here to watch me leave, I would advise that you go because it is not going to help. I might as well snatch your head since I am leaving”He sighed a little and took a glance at my room. His eyes filled with something like pain or regret before it landed on mine again.“You could stay, you know. We could fight him. After all, you have already rejected him.” He said.My eyes widened. Is this the same Lorenzo I had

    Rose povThe ride towards Finn Pack is enveloped in heavy silence. Just the sound of our breathing and the car engine sound. He would occasionally steal a glance at me and then go back to his iPad.How did I get here? I was meant to go back with Luca to the palace. Take off his shirt, have cool sex, and then draw him, but here I was with a man I did not know taking me to a place where I knew nobody. Why did the moon goddess decide to be this wicked and separate two lovers from each other when we are usually mated within our pack? Maybe the moon goddess knew that Luca did not love me that much. How come Jenny resurfaced after seven years of death? Could she be the one, or maybe an imposter? The only person who would give me an answer to that question is Finn, And I don’t think Finn would tell me. He hates the fact that I am into Luca already.I wonder if Luca would take his interest in sculpting. Maybe he will. After all, already he has his muse.“Penny for your thoughts?” Finn asked,

    Rose pov.I take in a shaky breath to ensure that I look okay before I get into the car. I would not want Finn to see me like this, but thinking about the fact that I might not see Lexie again brings in a fresh flow of tears.Immediately I get into the car, I turn my face towards the other side and pull my hair to one side, preventing Finn from seeing my face or my pain.“Do you hate me?” Finn asks me, his deep velvet voice sending shivers down my spine, he seems closer than usual. Goosebumps cover my body; why is he so close? He is meant. Why be at the other end of the car?I shake my head and clean the tears. Meant “No, I don’t. You are my mate why would I hate you?” I ask.“I don’t know. Maybe for taking you away from your friend's mate. Why a short period? You have been crying since you got into the car. Seems like she was pretty close to you”I nod, unable to say anything. Of course, she is close to me. She was my best friend. “She’s my best friend. It means a lot to me,” I reply

    Rose povBloodhound Pack is an entirely different pack from my home. When I say they are different, I mean they have their law and norms, but they behave differently.For instance, we have an organized pack. We all know where the market is and where the cinema is, and most of them dress according to their rank, making it easy to identify, and every commercial institution is owned by the Alpha family.Whereas, in Finn Pack. There are different little stalls, with various cinemas and other locations, and they bear different individual names. Lastly, I do not see anyone dressing according to their rank.This is strange. I mean, how do they make their money if they don’t own things and how do I know that I am not about to run into a rogue or greet a council elder with a little respect?Clearing my throat, I decided to ask Finn, “Who owns the cinema and other commercial places?” I ask, clearly making sure I do not sound insulting.“The wolves,” he likes it means, reply nothing.

    Rose's POVThe cold stone floor beneath me was a cruel reminder of my reality, my back pressed against the damp wall of the cellar. My body ached with exhaustion and pain; each bruise was a testament to the torment I had endured at the hands of Russell and Alina. The cell was stifling, suffocating in its silence, and I could feel my breath becoming shallow as panic bubbled just beneath the surface. I wasn’t sure how long I’d been here, but the isolation and darkness were wearing me down.The faint creak of the cellar door jolted me to attention. Footsteps echoed down the stairs, slow and deliberate. I already knew who it was, even before she stepped into view.Alina.Her presence filled the room as she approached, her polished, composed demeanor standing in stark contrast to the grim surroundings. She held something in her hand something that glinted in the dim light. A dress. A ridiculous gesture of control. She tossed it onto the floor in front of me like I was nothing more than an

    Luca's POVThe weight of the past few days bore down on me like a suffocating blanket. I couldn’t shake the gnawing worry about Rose. She was out there somewhere alive, I hoped but every passing second without answers felt like a dagger twisting in my chest.My phone buzzed, pulling me from my thoughts. Jenny's voice came through the line, calm but urgent.“We’re here,” she said.I grabbed my jacket and stepped out of my car, spotting Jenny and Bianca standing near the café’s entrance. They looked anxious, their gazes darting around as if someone might overhear them.“Let’s make this quick,” I said, gesturing for them to follow me to a quieter corner of the park nearby. “What’s this about?”Jenny glanced at Bianca before speaking. “It’s about Rose... and Russell.”The mention of his name made my fists clench. “What about him?”Bianca took a deep breath, her expression conflicted. “We know where Rose is being kept.”My heart skipped a beat. “Where?”“At the pack house,” she said, her v

    Jenny’s POVBianca and I exchanged a knowing glance as we drove down the main road, the morning sun casting long shadows over the car’s dashboard. Russell’s little stunt in the parking lot was laughable. The way he tried to play the enforcer, pretending to be the innocent one, was almost amusing if it weren’t so infuriating.“Can you believe him?” Bianca scoffed, leaning back in her seat with crossed arms. “Acting like we’re suspects when we already know what he’s capable of.”I smirked, gripping the steering wheel tighter. “He’s so transparent, it’s pathetic. But let him think he’s in control. The more he underestimates us, the easier it’ll be to take him down.”Bianca nodded, her expression hardening. “He thinks we’re clueless, but we’ve got him pegged. And Alina, too. They won’t see us coming.”Before I could reply, my phone buzzed on the console. Luca’s name flashed on the screen, and I quickly answered.“Where are you?” Luca’s voice was tense and low like he was barely holding hi

    Luca’s POVSitting on the worn leather couch in Benedicta's living room, I stared at my phone, replaying Jenny’s words in my head. She had called earlier, her voice trembling as she insisted we meet. She claimed to have information about Rose, information that could turn everything around. My chest tightened at the thought of her name.“I don’t know if I can trust her,” I admitted, running a hand through my hair.Benedicta leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, her expression filled with concern. “What exactly did she say?”“She was vague, but she mentioned Rose and said it was urgent. She sounded scared.”Benedicta tilted her head, a thoughtful frown on her face. “Luca, you know this could be a trap. Russell has his claws in everything right now. Jenny could be working for him.”“I know,” I said, my voice sharp with frustration. “But what if she’s telling the truth? What if she knows where Rose is or what happened to her?”Benedicta sat down across from me, her dark eyes steady. “

    Bianca's POVThe room was unusually quiet as I paced back and forth, my mind clouded with regret and unease. Jenny sat on the bed, her hands fiddling with her phone as if she were looking for the courage to speak. Finally, she sighed and broke the silence.“Bianca, we’ve made some terrible mistakes,” she said softly, her eyes meeting mine.I stopped pacing and turned to her, nodding slowly. “I know. What we did to Rose... it wasn’t right. I was so caught up in the moment, in everything Alina and Russell fed us, that I didn’t stop to think for myself.”Jenny gave me a small, sad smile. “Me too. But it’s not too late. We can still do something to help her.”Her words lit a spark of hope in me. “You’re right. But how? Russell and Alina have her locked up somewhere, and we both know they’ll go to any length to make sure she suffers. If we make a wrong move, they’ll know we’re on to them.”Jenny bit her lip, thinking hard. Then she grabbed her phone and opened the video she’d recorded of R

    Rose's POVI woke up to darkness and the damp, musty smell of earth. My head throbbed painfully, and as I shifted, I realized I was lying on a cold, hard floor. Disoriented, I tried to sit up, but my movements were slow and unsteady. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the faint light seeping through the cracks in the door, revealing the confined space around me.A cellar.Panic surged through me as I scrambled to my feet, my heart pounding in my chest. I rushed to the heavy wooden door, banging on it with all my strength. "Hello? Is anyone there? Let me out!"My voice echoed in the small space, but there was no response. Frustration bubbled up inside me, and I pounded on the door again, my fists aching with the effort.Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside. I froze, holding my breath as the sound grew louder, stopping just on the other side of the door. The lock clicked, and the door creaked open, revealing Russell’s tall, looming figure."Keep your voice down," he said sharply,

    Bianca's POVThe acrid smell of smoke hung heavy in the air as I crouched behind a charred wall, the flames casting flickering shadows around me. The chaos in the prison yard provided the perfect cover as I silently observed Russell emerging from the building, carrying an unconscious Rose over his shoulder.I couldn’t deny the small flicker of satisfaction I felt as I discreetly raised my phone, recording every step he took. The camera lens followed his every move—the way he moved quickly yet cautiously, his sharp eyes scanning the area for anyone who might witness his actions.“Perfect,” I muttered under my breath. My phone’s screen glowed faintly in the darkness, capturing every incriminating second.Jenny was stationed elsewhere, tailing Alina. We had planned this carefully. Jenny would ensure Alina’s actions were documented, while I focused on Russell. Every step of the way, we were one step closer to exposing the truth.As I watched Russell haul Rose out of the crumbling building

    Bianca's POVThe night was still, save for the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind. I had been walking down the hall toward my room when I heard faint voices coming from Alina’s study. Curious, I paused just outside the door, careful to stay in the shadows.“Are you sure about this?” Alina’s sharp voice carried through the crack in the door.“Yes,” Russell replied confidently. “Tomorrow night, everything will go as planned. Once the fire distracts the guards, I’ll get Rose out and bring her back to the pack. She’ll be ours to deal with.”My heart skipped a beat. Fire? Rose? What were they planning?“And you’re certain the elders won’t interfere?” Alina asked her voice tight with concern.“They’ll have no idea until it’s too late,” Russell assured her. “By the time they figure it out, Rose will be back here, under our control. Trust me, Alina, everything is under control.”I pressed my hand over my mouth to keep from gasping. Russell and Alina were plotting to break Rose out of pri

    Rose's POV The sound of the keys jingling outside my cell sent a chill down my spine. I sat up, staring at the bars, dreading yet another interruption to my solitude. My life was in shambles, but at least here, in this cold, damp cell, I could think—strategize.“Get up,” the warden’s gruff voice commanded as she unlocked the door.I stayed seated, narrowing my eyes. “What now?”“You have visitors,” she snapped, stepping inside.Visitors. My stomach churned. No one should be here. No one who cared about me would dare come to this place. Which left only enemies.I stood slowly, letting my chains rattle as I stretched out my aching limbs. “This should be fun,” I muttered under my breath, following her out.The warden led me through the long corridor. Every step felt heavier than the last, the chains clinking like a somber melody. As we stepped outside, the blinding sunlight stung my eyes. I blinked rapidly, trying to adjust, and then I saw them.Alina and Russell.Alina stood tall and r
