Past. 1 year ago. As Aurora, Silvia, and Catherine were guiding the staff in setting the table and handing out party poppers to everyone, she stepped back to observe everything. "Happy birthday," The familiar voice startled her as she turned around only to find Kevin standing there grinning. She punched his arm grinning as he winced, faking it while rubbing his arm dramatically. "Well, thank you," She beamed, and he handed her a huge box of chocolates and macarons. "You're the best," She grinned, taking those boxes from him. Angela handed it to the staff who took it to her room like all the other gifts she was receiving. "How was your mission?" She asked. "It was easy. We just had to administer a potion in a man's drink and the next thing he forgot about our existence," Kevin mused. Cases like this occurred once in a while when humans found out about their identity, so the warriors were sent with memory glitch potions which made them forget about werewolves' exis
Present. Luca watched with haunting stillness as she told him everything, that drunk mistake, how Silvia helped her out of the party, the potions, and everything. His heart pounded in his ears and the growing ache in his heart intensified to such thresholds that it was difficult for him to bear such pain knowing how much he had hurt Angela unintentionally and the worst part was, she didn't deserve any of it. She sniffled and his heart lurched into his mouth. What has he done? Luca couldn't help but recall when he rejected her confession that night. He didn't want to hurt her. Who would know the hurt of one-sided love better than him? Luca just tried to save her from the heartache. He didn't want her to make the mistakes that he made. He cared for her. Angela was important to him. He always had this need to protect her and make her strong at the same time. She was his little happiness in that time of darkness. He was hurt after breaking her heart like that. Angela didn't show
Present. It was early dawn; she was sitting in the garden staring at the flowers with a blank look in her eyes. A day has passed in complete silence. She stayed in the room, and he brought her meals, she only had small portions. They didn't talk the whole day. They had shared almost all of their feelings a day ago. The worst of the worst they felt, they shared it. She wouldn't lie but Angela felt light after telling him the truth, it was as if some weight was lifted off her shoulders. She was blank after hearing his side of the story. He didn't want to break her heart; she didn't know that he got drunk because he felt bad for hurting her feelings. There was a tsunami of emotions brewing inside her and she didn't know how to cope with them, so she just shut them off. She felt him before she could even hear his footsteps. Angela didn't move when he approached her. He placed a tray of food on the table in front of her. "I tried to bake a cake, but it turned out bad, so I en
One second Hunter was descending the stairs and the next second he was on Luca with a growl. Hunter punched him square on the jaw causing his face to tilt to the side with a harsh impact as his lower lip split drawing out blood. Hunter grabbed his collar, jerking him closer, they both were face to face. Luca had that broken devastated look on his face, the face when his world was crumbling around him, and he could do nothing about it. "I sent you to protect her. Not to f*cking mark her. She's a kid, Luca. A Goddamn kid! What is wrong with you?" Hunter snarled slamming him against the door. "Why aren't you protecting yourself?" Hunter spat after punching him again. "You're like a brother to me. If I can't trust you then who the f*ck am I supposed to trust. You... You chained her?" Hunter was losing himself as the images of his little sister chained flashed in his head making him see red. He didn't want to believe that Luca did anything wrong to her. To his precious little Angel
Why? Angela didn't understand why he wanted to remove the mark after going through so much just to bind her to himself. Now he wanted to get rid of the mark. Wasn't he aware of the possibility that she could easily reject him once there was no mark on her? Or perhaps he was granting her what she wanted from him. Freedom. He was willing to give her freedom. At the cost of what? His happiness? "Why the sad face?" Milo asked, walking in step with her as they strolled down the corridor. "Do I look sad?" She asked, looking up at him. "You look bothered. So, tell me what's bothering you? I'll do my best to help you out." "That's so nice of you but I'm just tired of all the assignments and a lot of chaos that's happening in my personal life." "I can't help with the assignments but do share your problems with me, I'm a good listener," He mused as they stepped into the cafeteria. They grabbed their food and took their seats as Milo stared at her. "Ummm... For example, you want
He kissed her cheek gently pulling back. Angela didn't wait a single second before landing a solid punch in his face. She groaned, jerking her hand because it hurt as Luca's face tilted to the side because of the impact of the punch. But that wasn't enough, she slammed her fists on his chest, pushing him away. It was as if she lost control over her emotions. "I hate you," She gritted hitting him with all her might and he stood there, immobile. He was taking her beatings silently. "I feel like killing you." She gritted fisting his shirt in her hands. "Then kill me," He rasped as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Shut up, just shut up. Not a word. Just know that I hate you so much," She gritted glaring at his chest. With all her tugging on his shirt, the first few buttons opened revealing his chest. "Hit me more," he said. "I said shut up!" She grumbled pressing her forehead on his chest as she breathed in deeply. She wanted to hurt him so badly but at the same time, sh
Warning: Mature content ahead."No, it's fine," she said, trying to free herself from his hold, but he jerked her closer. His chin pressed between her thighs as he looked up at her with copper swirling in his grey hues. "Let me," He rasped, tugging on the shorts. Angela hesitated for a second before she carefully let him pull her shorts down. She was covering her intimacy, but he wasn't having it. Grabbing her hands she held them on her side and leaned forward pressing his lips on her panties. Angela couldn't help but scream at herself that she wanted him on his knees for her and now it was happening so why did she want to backpedal? She may be a brave courageous and confident girl but damn this was too much for her. The giddy shy girl in her could never. Her breath hitched and her eyes widened when he slid her panties aside and pressed his lips on her clit, kissing it. Angela tried to step back but he didn't let her, instead, he picked her up from her waist and moved forward
Luca woke up feeling a weight on his chest, soft hot breathing caressed his chest as he peered down to find Angela sleeping soundly. Her head rested on his chest. Her body moved with light breathing. He gently tucked her hair behind her ear, her hair was a mess of wild locks. Well, he was the culprit behind it. To make her a beautiful mess. He cupped her cheek, his thumb softly caressing her closed eyelids. Luca had the best sleep of his life last night. The carefree and blissful sleep he used to have when he was a kid. Angela brought out the peace within him. Come to think of it, he now firmly believed that the Moon Goddess knew what was best for you. And he was glad that everything turned out like this. He was such a jerk going after the person who wasn't meant for him not knowing that the future would be such a blessing for him. Even if he searched the whole world, he wouldn't be able to find someone like Angela as his life partner. His sweet little Angel. The emotion
10 years later. "Mom, I can't find my cap," Levi yelled from his room. "It's in the second drawer on the left," Angela clamored from the kitchen. "I can't hear you, Mom," He screamed from his room. "You're done for if I find it for you!" She hollered back kneading the dough. "Go, help him. I'll look after this," Daphne said as Angela passed her a thankful smile, washed her hands, and hurried to her son's room. Angela stepped inside only to gasp when she found his room turned upside down. He didn't just do that. "Levi, what have you done?" She was on the edge as the little devil shrugged his shoulders. "I told you I couldn't find it," he said with a pout staring up at his mom. "How old are you?" she asked, tapping her foot patiently on the floor with her arms crossed over her chest. "Eight." "Why does your room look like a five-year-old kid's?" "Are you indirectly insulting me, mom?" She narrowed her eyes at him. Angela stomped over the cupboard, she retrieved the c
"You look stunning," Emma said. Her eyes were glassy as she got emotional looking at her baby dressed in a wedding gown ready to enter her new life. "Mom," the girl hugged her mom lovingly as Emma smiled sadly. She was happy but sad at the same time because Angela and Luca would be living in San Francisco rather than in the packhouse with them. Angela has dreams to fulfill and Luca would support her through thick and thin. Emma said she needed to see the arrangements as she left her room. Everyone was busy with the work which left her alone. Angela stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was donning a beautiful white gown, just like that of a princess. Her hair was in a neat bun, elegant makeup, and she looked extremely beautiful. She wondered if Luca would like it or not. The girl was still admiring her reflection when she heard a heavy thud and her eyes snapped on the window. Angela's jaw slacked, finding Luca dressed in his perfect black tux standing near the window immo
Angela was nervous. She was glad that Silvia and Hunter already knew the whole truth. But she couldn't predict the reaction of the rest of her family. On her birthday everyone was so excited to find her mate and she found her mate, she quietly fled, and no one knew about it. They all love Luca, so it won't be a crazy deal like when everyone found out Aurora's mate was Draken. It was complete chaos at that time. If her family could worry about something, then it might be the age gap but then again, her parents had a huge age gap between them. A big hand grabbed her thigh giving it a light squeeze as she glanced at Luca. "Don't worry, everything will be fine," Luca assured her as she passed him a soft smile. If only it was that easy. Of course, her family would be happy for her, but she couldn't wash off the nervousness. For the last two days, she was constantly thinking about the time Luca stopped her from marking him. If he wanted, he could let her mark him, so she was bound to
Luca tried to comfort her as he cursed himself for giving those details. Angela's heart was aching. She was hurting the man who loved her. She was so cruel. Luca hugged her close to his chest as he laid them both on the bed. He cuddled her close to his chest saying sweet nothings and she slowly drifted into darkness and Luca went to sleep as well. The vibration of her phone brought her out of her sleep as she checked her phone and found a folder that had all the photoshoot pictures that came out so beautifully. She thanked the photographer. Angela felt a heavy weight on her chest. She glanced at the soundly sleeping Luca. Stepping out of bed, she grabbed her phone and stepped out of the room. Angela went to the terrace for some fresh air and to her surprise there was a pool there. The blue water reflected under the crescent moon, sparkling like stars. Angela set their picture in which they were kissing as her wallpaper. She removed her dress and set it on the chair under
"Why are we here?" she asked softly. He was holding her hand in his warm embrace escorting her into a prestigious boutique."You'll know," That was all he was saying ever since they left the house.The manager escorted them to the VIP section on the top floor. Luca was served some drinks while the manager showed Angela extremely gorgeous dresses."Mr. Perez had asked us to present our finest collection to you, ma'am," The lady said while showing more dresses.Angela had no clue what was happening, but she went with the flow. She chose two dresses and stepped into the changing room.She wore the first dress and stepped out flaunting it in front of Luca who jutted his chin out in appreciation. His eyes glimmered with joyous shine, but his jaw was clenched. Maybe he was stopping himself from pouncing on her.Her exams just finished yesterday, and they have been roaming out of the house since morning.Angela was sad and kind of depressed in the past week because the investors refused to i
Luca was making sandwiches. He had already washed the dishes because he was free. They had dinner together. It has been a week since she let him do anything. They'd kiss and whenever things would get a little heated, she'd flee to her room and lock herself in. It was a f*cking torture, but he was bearing it patiently. Angela was such a good student. He knew that ever since training days. She always gave her hardest in everything. She'd study late at night, which made him worried, but she would comfort him saying it was no big deal that she always studied late at night. He put the sauce in a heart shape on top of the bread and smiled. She'd love it. He didn't cut the sandwich because that split the heart in two. He prepared warm milk for her. She didn't like milk and avoided it at all costs, but he knew it was good for her. So, he often had to force her to drink it. Placing the food in the wooden tray, he removed his apron and took the tray to her room. Luckily, it was unlocked.
"Where are we headed to?" Luca asked as they walked over to their bikes fully dressed in their gear and helmet. "Somewhere," she said, getting on her bike. His eyes darted to her gorgeous ass, and he refrained himself from touching her rear. Luca quietly got on his bike. The same bike with which he won second place in that street race. "Follow me," She mused, riding ahead of him as he followed her. Luca noticed how a few of the drivers kept staring at her and he had to glare at them viciously for them to avert their gaze from Angela. He was getting jealous to the point he wanted to smash their side mirrors just to look at her longer than necessary. He rode close behind her so all the f*ckers would know she was off-limits. While driving, he grabbed his phone and clicked some of her pictures secretly but the way she shook her head, despite wearing a helmet, he could tell she saw what he was doing through the side mirror. Angela pulled the bike over and stepped down from it
He was tempted to smash the things and put them on fire but refrained from doing so. Firstly, he didn't want to make her mad and secondly, there was a possibility that one of her friends sent her this. But for what? Luca tried to mask his expressions as he walked back to his room only to flinch when she blew a party popper on him. That scared him for a fleeting second but his hold on the stuff tightened. Angela stood in front of him, only in his shirt, her hair was an exotic mess, her cheeks flushed, and her lips swollen with love bites on her neck. She looked thoroughly f*cked. The comical look on his face had her bursting out laughing and she looked so f*cking radiant. "Happy Birthday," She beamed. For a second he was confused before his eyes widened and the realization dawned on him. "What date is today?" he asked, still unsure as she grabbed the stuff from him and placed the box on the bed and the flowers. "Keep holding them," she told him as he kept holding the heart-s
Angela was in the kitchen. "Let me do it, girl. Why are you persistent in making breakfast today?" Daphne asked for the fifth time, but Angela just smiled winking at her as she poured the batter of pancake in the pan. "And you won't even tell me what the special occasion is about?" Daphne asked and Angela just shrugged her shoulders. She set the food on the slab, sliced fruits, pancakes, toast, omelet, and juice. Angela heard the footsteps and her heartbeat quickened. Luca stepped into the kitchen as he glanced at the food and his eyes shot to her. "Come on, eat up," Angela smiled, getting rid of her apron as she took the stool beside him and dropped a kiss on his cheek, mumbling a soft good morning. Luca's ears tinted red as he stared at her with slightly wide eyes while the spatula fell from Daphne's hand who gaped at them. When Angela winked at her, Daphne closed her mouth and tried not to beam joyously as she winked back at Angela who couldn't help but laugh wholeheartedl
