Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 58 : The road to becoming self-sufficient
Cassie saw Luciano standing in the hallway and she wondered, where did the girl from that morning go? Did Luciano send her home?Cassie knew that after the cold treatment Luciano gave her, this was not the time to ask such questions and she needed to show that she would not be in his way.“Alpha Luciano, I see that something is weighing on your mind. I don’t want to appear nosy, but I hope you are aware that I will help you in any way I can. I can ask my father to assist you, if necessary.”Luciano didn’t want to talk to Cassie, but he knew that she was not going to leave easily, and he was aware that Talia would come out of the kitchen at any moment and head up to her room. If Cassie notices that Talia is heading to the third floor, Cassie might suspect something.He wanted Cassie to leave the packhouse as soon as possible, but for that, he needed a reason to send her away or he would risk angering her father and causing problems for his pack.At moments like these, Luciano hated tha

Talia was confident that something was wrong with Cassie’s head. Within a few seconds, Talia ended up as a thief and a liar, and Cassie didn’t have a single proof for any of that.Does she want to be Luciano’s Luna? Will Luciano allow Cassie to be in a position to impact the lives of his pack members?Stephanie told Talia several stories about Luciano since he took over the pack as the Alpha, and Talia thought that he cared about his pack. However, if he makes Cassie his Luna, that will change the dynamics for the worse, not only in the packhouse but in the pack overall.‘I need to leave this place as soon as possible.’, Talia told herself. ‘Living on the street and sleeping under a bridge can’t be worse than this.’Who cares about a cosy room if she can’t leave it without fear that she will be bullied? And what if bullies come into the room? How will that be different compared to the attic where she used to live?Without the authority to talk back to Cassie, Talia felt the urgency to

Stephanie saw that Talia’s mood was not good and she understood that after the incident with Cassie, Talia had every right to be upset.Maya told Stephanie about Cassie accusing Talia of stealing food previously, so she knew that this was not the first time for Cassie to bully Talia. Stephanie also knew about the point that Luciano was just standing there and didn’t do anything while Cassie was doing her Luna act, and Stephanie couldn’t imagine how painful that would be for Talia. Luciano is the one who brought her here with a promise of a better life, yet when it counted he stood on the side.Stephanie’s heart ached and she wanted to comfort Talia who was holding the ice pack on her face. “Let me see your cheek, dear…”“Don’t worry about me. I’m used to it.”, Talia interrupted Stephanie. Compared to the beatings she got at the Red Moon pack, this was nothing much. “Thank you for the ice pack. I know you have good intentions, but dinner will burn if no one takes care of it. I’m sorry,

Luciano’s gaze directed at Talia made her uncomfortable and she wanted him to leave. “There is Tiramisu for dessert.”, Talia said when she finished the food from her plate. “You get dessert only if you join us in the dining room for a meal.”, Luciano responded. “That’s not what I meant.”, Talia said quickly. “I thought that you might want cake so you can have it when you go down.” Luciano cocked an eyebrow. “Instead of worrying about others, you should think about yourself more. What do you want to do now?” ‘I want you to leave.’, Talia didn’t dare to say this aloud. “Sleep. I’m tired.” Luciano nodded faintly and his eyes fell on two empty plates. He collected the plates and stood up. “Since you are tired, go to bed.” Talia understood this was the part where they said their goodnights and she got her privacy. “Thank you for bringing me dinner.” Luciano’s lips lifted into a smile. “You are welcome.” Neither of them moved for a few seconds and then Luciano’s eyes darted from Tal

Talia wanted Luciano to leave, so she used the excuse of being sleepy.She needed space.Ever since the incident with Cassie, Talia didn’t find a moment to collect her thoughts.First, it was Stephanie, then Maya, and now Luciano, and Talia didn’t get a chance to think about what happened and what she would do about it. Well, she knew that she should leave the packhouse, but the question was: how far away should she flee?There must be some safe distance from Luciano and the bullies.Luciano was amused by Talia’s newfound spunk. She seemed determined to stay away from him, but he had no intention of leaving her side.He chased Cassie away, and that must count for something.“You can’t sleep like this?”, Luciano asked.“No. Not really.”, Talia said and moved her arm.The sleeve of Talia’s t-shirt hitched higher, and Luciano narrowed his eyes when he saw a fresh bruise on Talia’s upper arm.Luciano pushed himself up and examined the bruise. It was a palm print with five fingers seen cle

"Alpha Richard was thinking about Cassie’s words and he had a feeling that he might be on to something. Just like many other Alphas and Elders, Alpha Richard is keeping an eye on Luciano (and on the movements of the Dark Howlers pack), and Alpha Richard is aware that no matter how much they tried to pressure Luciano, it was nearly impossible to influence him because Luciano didn’t expose any weakness. The circle of people who can approach Luciano is small, and he doesn’t have any close family members. No matter what girls they send Luciano’s way, none of them kept him interested for more than one night. Well, Cassie is an exception, but she never went beyond occasional hookups. However, if there is a girl who managed to invoke Luciano’s protective side, she might be someone important. Alpha Richard’s story of how the girl might be Luciano’s relative or a spy was just nonsense to pacify Cassie; she was never the sharpest tool in the shed; far from it. Actually, Cassie is not stupid,

Through her sleepy haze, Talia heard water.It sounded like a downpour.No matter what the weather was outside, Talia was in a cosy bed, surrounded by the scent of the forest and dark chocolate, and she didn’t want to wake up. She pulled the comforter over her head and drifted back to sleep.Talia’s mind stirred, and her eyes fluttered open.There was no sound of rain. It was sunny outside. Did she dream about the rain? Or was it raining during the night and then it cleared up? It didn’t matter.Talia turned lazily and her nose touched the pillow that was full of a delicious smell which confirmed that the last night happened. She didn’t imagine it.Alpha Luciano was there, and he asked her to continue using this room he said that no one would disturb her anymore that she didn’t need to hide, and that she could train in self-defence.Talia didn’t remember when she fell asleep, but she knew that Alpha Luciano slept with her, or at least held her while she was sleeping.

Luciano didn’t like the idea of Katerina visiting the Dark Howlers pack, and he also didn’t like that his two Betas were talking about it like it was not a big deal. Sure, he didn’t tell them that Talia is his mate, but they should at least be aware of the consequences if Katerina recognizes Talia as the girl from the attic. “If Katerina comes, what will happen to Talia?”, Luciano asked. Maya had a solution ready, “We can move her with Omegas, and tell her to stay low profile until Katerina leaves. Talia wants to move out of the packhouse, and this can be a good occasion to start the process…” Luciano’s ears were buzzing and he didn’t hear the rest. Is Maya serious? How dare she think about separating him from Talia? But… can Talia stay in the packhouse with Katerina around? Only last night Luciano told Talia that this is her home and that she won’t need to hide, yet if Katerina comes, Luciano will need to eat his words and suffer the consequences of breaking Talia’s trust.

It's overLuciano turned to look at Talia who was standing at the door of the bathroom, and his eyebrows rose in approval.That oversized tank top covered Talia’s private parts, but it was also low on the chest, giving him a glimpse of Talia’s cleavage… high on the thighs, exposing her legs, and loose around arms… Luciano swallowed hard as the image of Talia’s side-boob flashed in his mind. Yup, he remembered that.He really wanted to suck her there. Everywhere.Talia squirmed under Luciano’s gaze. Why did he look at her like she was naked?Talia was about to tug the tank top and cover her legs more, but she held that urge back due to fear of how that will lower the opening at her neck and expose her girls, so she just pressed her legs together and folded her arms over her stomach in a feeble attempt to protect herself from Luciano’s x-ray vision.“Can I help you?”, Talia asked.Luciano tilted his head and smiled a little. “There is no need to be so cautious, wife. Do you remember me

Luciano was sitting in his office with a glass of whiskey in his hand and thinking about the talk he had with Caden and Maya after dinner.They discussed the upcoming festival and the issue of Katerina.The preparations for the festival were on schedule and increased security was already in effect, so they focused on discussing Katerina.They decided to work on delaying her visit.It was Maya’s plan.“Instead of telling her not to come, we will tell her WHEN to come.”Luciano didn’t like it, but he gestured to Maya to keep on talking.“Two weeks.”, Maya said. “We will tell Katerina that your schedule is packed and that you can’t entertain her now, but in two weeks she can come, and you will make it up to her.”“You think Katerina and Alpha Edward will accept this two-week delay?”, Luciano asked.“No.”, Maya said bluntly before elaborating, “This is not about getting two weeks, but about negotiating. I expect that they will ask for Katerina to come sooner. I believe that we can settle
Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 136. Luciano
Seeing that Luciano was looking at her grimly from the door of her room, Talia didn’t dare to provoke him.Talia didn’t have the faintest clue what caused his current mood (or what that mood was), but she decided to play it safe, and she lowered her head.“I apologize, Alpha Luciano.”, she said in a small voice.‘BAM!’Talia jolted when the door closed loudly, and she inhaled sharply at the realization that Luciano was only half a step away from her.It took him only a second to cross the distance between them.Luciano grabbed her chin with his index finger and thumb and forced her to lift her head and look at him.“What did you call me?”He was leaning above her, and his angry words splashed on her face. Talia blinked rapidly, unsure what he was getting at.Seeing the horror in her eyes, Luciano let go of her chin and put his palm on her cheek.“I told you to call me by my name. Luciano. Just Luciano. Say it.”His tone was much gentler, but his gaze was unwavering.“Luciano”, Talia s

Between sparring sessions, Luciano was contacting Maya through the mind-link, reminding her to take Talia shopping, but Maya told him that Talia was sleeping and that she shouldn’t be disturbed.‘Talia is sleeping. Considering her wounds, it’s important that she rests. We can shop tomorrow.’, Maya tried to reason with Luciano.‘No. Do it today.’, Luciano was not relenting.The truth is that he felt guilty.He knew that Talia left because of the incident in the kitchen, and he thought that if Maya takes her shopping, Talia will feel better and not try to leave again.The thought of Talia leaving was creating knots in his stomach.She nearly escaped, and next time, he might not be so lucky to find her sleeping in the forest.It was late afternoon when Luciano finished training and returned to the packhouse.His shorts was sticking to his body, and his bare chiseled chest and abs were glistening due to all the sweat and he was itching for a shower.Luciano heard Maya’s voice coming from

“Oh, before I forget…”, Maya stirred the conversation the other way. “Don’t tell anyone that you are from the Red Moon pack. The official story is that you grew up with your grandparents somewhere North and that after they passed, you came here with the goal to find a pack and we bumped into each other accidentally. Do you remember the gas station where Alpha Luciano went out to purchase snacks on his own? It’s the stop where you switched places with Caden.”Talia nodded.“That’s where we met. Feel free to fill in any gaps about your background.”, Maya said and observed Talia who was listening intently with a hint of confusion on her face. “Do you know why this is important?”Talia shook her head, indicating that she doesn’t.“If Alpha Edward suspects that we took you secretly, he might accuse us of kidnapping or stealing.”Talia’s eyes widened. “I agreed to come with you.”“You did, but Alpha Edward is not on friendly terms with Alpha Luciano, and he might use this incident to stir t

“AWOOOOO!”A sky-piercing howl shook all the windows in the packhouse of the Dark Howlers pack, threatening to shatter them. The powerful sound echoed far into the distance, stirring every pack member with the might their Alpha possesses.“Will Luciano be OK?”, Maya asked Caden while blinking at the dawn which cracked through the windows.They heard four rapid thumps when Luciano landed in the garden after jumping from his balcony on the third floor.“He will be fine.”, Caden assured Maya and pulled her closer to him. “The border patrol just notified Luciano that they found Talia.”Maya wanted to ask for more information, but Caden was snoring softly already, so she gave up.Normally, warriors and patrols can’t contact Luciano through the mind-link. That is reserved for Caden, Maya, and Stephanie, and even those three know not to disturb him unless it’s important.Warriors, scouts, and other pack members follow the chain of command which allows only a handful of people to contact Cade

In the kitchen…Luciano pried his arm free from Cassie’s hold and her eyes widened in surprise.Why did he back away? Why was he frowning? Things were going well, damn it!She composed herself and called sweetly, “Alpha Luciano, do you think I was out of line?”“Cassie, you accused a teenage girl of being a thief. Do you really think that my pack members have a need to come here and steal food?”Cassie pressed her lips into a line, feeling wronged. “But she was in the dark which is proof that she was up to no good. How could she see anything with the lights off?”Luciano took a moment to process what Cassie said, and he realized that Cassie was right: Talia was in the dark.The light in the kitchen was off and so was the one in the hallway. The visibility was close to nil.Werewolves have enhanced senses, proportional to the strength of their wolf.Cassie is a weak werewolf and the boost her wolf provides her is negligible when compared to other werewolves.However, Talia was able to

Seeing that Talia was not responding and that Luciano didn’t react, Cassie was emboldened.“Answer me!”, Cassie hissed at Talia and spoke to Luciano without removing her gaze from Talia. “Is this how your Omegas are acting? You really need a Luna to teach them some manners. Sneaking in the dark and stealing food, and then they even refuse to respond…”“That’s enough, Cassie!”, Maya said sternly from the door.Maya’s heart cracked when she saw Talia’s submissive stance. It’s not that Cassie had any aura, but Talia was a broken soul who needed supportive environment.Maya walked to Talia and asked softly, “Are you OK?”Talia nodded faintly, but Maya knew that Talia was lying.Maya narrowed her eyes at Luciano and spoke through the mind-link. ‘Is this why you brought her here? I thought you promised her protection and not another type of hell.’“Come, let’s get out of here…”, Maya said to Talia while wrapping her arm around Talia’s shoulders.“We are not done here”, Cassie said stiffly,

Talia blinked herself awake and the first thing she noticed was the darkness.It was definitely past dinner time, but Talia didn’t mind.She buried her head deeper into the pillow, indulging in the softness and warmth that came with the scent of the forest and dark chocolate.Talia paused and took a few sniffs to confirm that her nose is not playing tricks on her.Talia looked around to ascertain that she was on her own.She was confused. The room didn’t smell like Luciano before she fell asleep, but now it did.She liked his scent; it was a mix of her two favorite things: forest and a sweet treat. Talia wondered if Luciano came to check on her while she was sleeping.Talia shook that thought away. Why would a scary Alpha come to check on her?It’s more probable that Stephanie or Maya brought something that had Luciano’s scent on it. But she couldn’t see anything different.Talia decided to stop thinking about it. It doesn’t matter.She listened carefully, and there were no sounds she
