MARIANA'S POV.The room the maid brought me to was perfect,it had all that I ever wanted in a room, somehow the room seemed as though it had been made for me, but at the moment I didn't know what to do or what to feel I was literally loosing my mind I hadn't planned for this.I came to a business trip and not a trip that would endanger my life, I didn't want to die now,my sister needs me, what will happen to her if I die in this country.i regret coming to this trip but I have no choice.I did not know what to do anymore,I felt disgusted when I remembered what happened to me earlier, what would I have done if that filthy creature laid his hands on me.was my mind playing games with me?but I know what I saw, vampires really existed.I ran to the bathroom and turned on the shower allowing the water to pour on me,it helped to calm my nerves but the images of that man kept on appearing in my head,I scrubbed myself very well . to he look on that monster's face I stared at my reflection in th
"what do you want to talk about?"Luke asked Mariana."I wanted to discuss about the incident that happened earlier today"she replied playing with her fingers."what do you want to know about it?"Luke asked staring intently at her."I want to talk about that man that a abducted me,he is strange,were you telling me the truth when you said that he was a vampire,do they really exist?"she asked staring at Luke waiting for him to reply her questions."Do you think am the type of person who jokes around? vampires, witches and werewolves exist but humans are not aware,humans are being manipulated by them"Luke explained to her.Luke sir, Mariana began 'you know that I am asking who exactly my attacker was cause he acted familiar with you' she rounded up.Luke was surprised,he never knew that Mariana saw him with Richard that day."Are you surprised that I saw you two that day?"Mariana asked when she saw the look on Luke's face."Well I saw everything that happened that day,I was just too shock
Mariana was left alone,she thought about her actions and she realized that she made a mistake by blaming her predicament on Luke.She remembered everything Luke did for her since she met him and her heart ached.she regretted talking to him the way she did.she held her head,her head was in turmoil.she needed to apologize to Luke for how she acted.Thinking about her sister,she realized that she hasn't heard from the hospital in a while now.she picked her phone and dialed the doctor's number and the call went through immediately."Hello Miss Mariana,I haven't seen you for a while now,I was even planning to call you before you did, hope everything is alright"the doctor said to her.""yes, everything is alright,I was too busy lately that I forgot to tell you that am on a business trip with my boss to Australia"Mariana said to the doctor who was surprised.wowww was the only word that came out of the doctor's mouth."so how is my sister doing?"she asked."well talking about your sister,tha
"it's a long story but I will make it short for you"the maid said to her and Mariana nodded staring at her waiting for her to answer her question."My family was attacked and everyone was killed,I was the only one that survived the incident"Mariana was touched with her story,she regretted asking the maid about it,she made the maid to remember about her past."I am so sorry for making you to remember this part of your life"Mariana said to the maid."it's nothing,I am not affected about it anymore""you must be a strong woman"Mariana said to the maid but the maid ignored her and continued with her story."I had no home,I had no family,I had no shelter,I had no place to go,it was during this tough moment in my life that Sir Luke found me,he took me in,he gave me a shelter,I stayed here"Mariana'sip curled up into a smile."he is a good man, isn't he?""Yes,no matter how he acts,I know there is a goodness in his heart and I can never betray him,no matter what happens"The maid stated."Hav
"How can you allow Luke to beat you up like a child because of a woman?"Kate asked him."What should I have done?am no match for Luke and I am the one at fault here,I shouldn't have tried to mess with his mate"Richard replied."I am tired of hearing that crap from everyone,who says that you are no match for Luke besides you are not the one at fault here,you didn't know that the woman was her mate so I don't see the reason why he should beat you up,I thought you are brave,I thought you never back down when you want something, what are you doing now?"Kate said to Richard."Everything you said is true but the truth to be told,am no match for Luke"Richard replied her."Who says that you are no match for Luke,that's what you want to believe"Kate said to him."So what do you want me to do?"Richard asked folding his arms together.Kate smiled."it's simple,I want you to fight for your rights,you were interested in that woman, Right?I suggest you go for her"Kate said to Richard who let out a l
After Luke left the Lucas mansion,he didn't know where else he would go,he couldn't return back to his house because Mariana was angry with him.he rubbed his hair out of frustration.finally he drove to a bar.After having drinking so much,it was late in the night,he was very drunk,the first time he was drunk in his life,he staggered to his car.The security guard that worked at the bar stopped him telling him that he couldn't drive in his drunken state but he didn't listen to the man,he warned him never to touch him again.out of fear ,the security guard left him.********on the other hand,Mariana has been waiting for Luke to come back because she wanted to apologize to him for the words she said to him.she checked the time again,she was already getting worried.She went to the room where the maid sleeps and knocked on the door."come in"the maid said.Mariana stepped in and saw that the maid was lying on her bed."I am sorry if I am disturbing your sleep"Mariana said to the maid."it'
Luke knew this was the end of everything,he had never felt so helpless before in his entire life time.the pain of losing his mate was so intense,he hadn't marked her but seeing how she was staring at him like he was the worst monster on Earth hurt him so much.He didn't mind if others see him as a monster but his mate seeing him as a monster was a whole different issue.he didn't want to have a mate before but meeting Mariana changed his entire life without him knowing it,he has already accepted her,he has already accepted to love her as his mate and this happens.He clenched his fists,no matter what happens,he was never going to let her go.she can't just leave him but the next thing that happened kept him Wondering whether Mariana's brain was still intact or Maybe she was sleep walking.Mariana took a few steps and hugged him,she was hugging him so tightly."Thank God that you are safe"she whispered.Luke was surprised with her actions, maybe she didn't see him in his wolf form like he h
Luke was taken aback,he wasn't expecting Mariana to hug him,he didn't mind her hugging him,he was beyond excited that she hugged him. Her body felt so warm and soft which comforted his soul. "Am so sorry,I was just worried about you". Mariana apologized, disengaging from the hug when she realized that she wasn't supposed to hug him. Luke frowned his face, he was not happy that she broke the hug but he did well to hide his countenance."It's no problem,"He said, yawning at the same time and it was obvious that was still drunk."What are you doing outside?""Why is your cloth covered in blood?". They asked each other at the same time, making them laugh hysterically at themselves. "Let's go inside"Mariana said, helping his unsteady movement, Luke didn't bulge,he was still drunk and that's when Mariana noticed that he was stinking of alcohol."Hey what happened to you?"She asked him."I was having a good time in the bar,I was driving to God knows where and I thought you were in dange
The next day, Mariana opened her eyes slowly and she found herself on the bed with her clothes changed.She remembered sleeping in his car,he must have been the one that brought her home.She covered her body with her arms thinking Leon had something to do with her change of clothes.Just then,the door clicked open and her sister Emiliana came in with a tray of food."Good morning"Emiliana greeted as she kept the table on her bed in front of her."Good morning sis,"Mariana said to her."A good looking man brought you home yesterday and your dress was soaked in water so I had to change your clothes for you so you won't catch a cold"Emiliana said to her and she heaved a sigh of relief.Emiliana brought out a tablet and gave it to her."Drink it now,it's medicine for the cold,I don't want you to fall sick"she said to Mariana who drank the medicine immediately.After eating the food brought to her by Emiliana, Mariana thanked Emiliana who smiled at her."Anything for you sis"Emiliana said.
Mariana continued crying till tears couldn't come out of her eyes again.Alex's body had turned white and he wasn't recognizable again.Luke didn't want to talk to her that day because he was still trying to process everything that happened but he couldn't ignore her because his wolf wasn't at rest seeing that she was out in the rain and she might catch a cold if she stayed out for long.He stepped out of the car and his guard put an umbrella above him but he took it from him and walked towards Mariana.He put the umbrella above her and Mariana looked up to see him looking at her."We should go home before it gets late,"Luke said to her, breaking the awkward silence between them."We will take his body with us"Mariana said and Luke sighed heavily."There is no need for that,his body will disperse,vampires are not buried"Luke said to her but Mariana didn't agree with him."I don't want that to happen,I want him to be buried, that's the only thing I can do for him"Mariana said to Luke."
As soon as Mariana reached there,she held Alex while tears were escaping her eyes and flowing down her cheeks while soaking her cloth.She stared at Alex with her already red eyes."Please don't leave me,"she pleaded.Alex stared at her with a calm Expression on his pale face.he was finding it hard to breathe and he was already weak as life was leaving him.He tried to free himself from her hold but Mariana held him tightly crying."Ana,you never loved me,my love for you ended me"Alex said in a cracked voice."I am sorry Alex but we can talk things out, please hang in there,I will call the ambulance"she said to him.A sad smile formed on Alex's face.he didn't know that Mariana still cared about him like this after what he did to her,he thought she would be happy about what happened to him but she still cared.he felt pain in his heart as a feeling of guilt took over his being.It's not only Luke's wolf that was hurt and filled with jealousy but Luke was too.he felt a sharp pain in his
He pushed Mariana into the car before sitting on the driver's seat.he inserted the key into the car,he started the car but it was not moving.he tried and tried but the car didn't make a move."Fuck"he cursed hitting his hands on the dashboard.He took his gun and alighted from the car to check what was wrong, that's when he saw that the tires of the car were flat.He knew this would be Luke's doing.he turned to Luke but before he knew what was going on,the gun he was holding was knocked away from his hand.Everything happened so fast,he was sent flying to the other side and he landed on the ground.He stood up after catching his breath,he looked to see Luke and his men surrounding him.he knew Luke was a smart man but he didn't know he would pull a fast one on him like this.he knew this was the end.it was many against one."Don't be a coward and stop hiding behind your men, face me"Alex said to Luke.Luke had a serious Expression on his face,he was fed up with Alex,he crossed the line
Mariana was filled with joy on seeing that Luke was safe and sound.Luke was very happy seeing that he came on time before Alex could do anything to her.he felt butterflies in his stomach when he saw the way she was smiling happily at him,his wolf was filled with joy.Alex knew that he was no match for Luke and he wouldn't escape here easily and it was possible that he came with his men.he thought of what to do since he came here alone with Mariana and he was on the losing side.An idea popped into his mind, he would use Mariana as a way to escape.Seeing that Luke was distracted,his eyes turned red,his fangs appeared and his vampire long sharp claw emerged.He grabbed Mariana by the hair immediately and Mariana yelped in pain because of the force in which he grabbed her.Luke's eyes turned golden immediately with anger because of how Alex was mishandling his mate.He tried to rush towards Alex but his words stopped him."Take another step and she will become a dead body"Alex warned,hi
"When you were sick,I gave Mariana a watch which had a tracker in it so that if something bad happens to her,I will be able to find her,"Hector said to Luke."What if she is not wearing the watch now?"Luke asked him."I will try to track her, this can be able to help us,let's hope she is wearing the watch"Hector said to Luke."Be fast about it"Luke ordered him before the call ended.Luke's expression was cold as he drove to Alex's house.he just hoped that Alex didn't do anything bad to Mariana.Soon he was in Alex's house,he asked the maids and security about the whereabouts of Alex and they all told him that he hasn't come back.He believed them because he didn't perceive Mariana's scent.He entered his car to drive away when he received Hector's call."I found them,"Hector said to him immediately."Send me the address"Luke said to him before the call ended.soon a message popped up in his phone.He entered his car immediately and stepped on the accelerator.********Meanwhile in a r
Luke was very worried,he drove at a fast speed to Ic corporation followed by his guards behind.As soon as he arrived in Ic corporation,he stepped out of his car in a rush into the company.no one stopped him from coming inside as soon as they recognized who it was.no one wanted to get into trouble or provoke him.Alex's secretary wanted to stop him as soon as he got to Alex's floor but she restrained herself immediately as soon as she saw who it was.Luke headed straight to Alex's office,he pushed the door but it didn't open.he was very angry,he could perceive the scent of Mariana here.He turned angrily to his guards who have been trying to catch up to his pace since he arrived in the country."Break this door down"he said to them and they headed towards the door to carry out his orders.the secretary watched as she couldn't do anything to stop them.she knew Luke was more powerful and dangerous than her boss Alex but her boss was more heartless and brutal.she didn't know what to do,Al
Few minutes later,Luke arrived in the country with his men.Hector had stayed behind to take care of Kate's matter.As soon as he stepped down from the jet,his wolf became restless.he was in pain."Mate"his wolf whispered.he thought of what the problem was,is Mariana in danger?he thought to himself.his hands searched through his pocket immediately and he brought out his phone.he dialed Mariana's number but it was switched off.he became more worried immediately.He called Hector immediately to know about the guard he said was protecting Mariana but he didn't pick up his phone."Damn it"he said with gritted teeth.He took the car key from one of his guards Immediately.he entered the car and drove away at a fast speed with the guards who were confused following his car behind.Few minutes later,he arrived at Mariana's house.he alighted from the car and rushed to her apartment.he knocked on the door but no one answered.he was very anxious as he knocked again.He was relieved when he heard
"You made me go through so much pains and torture just because of your mate"she said to him."Looking at you,I don't know what punishment will be enough to quench the anger I am feeling towards you right now. The minute you tried to harm my mate,you became an enemy and you should be treated like one,"Luke said to her."I almost died because of your foolishness,"he said to her."I am sorry,I only did it because I love you so much,I was very jealous of her"Kate said to Luke."Don't apologize to me,"Luke said to her."I don't know what else to do with you,but this is my last warning,stay away from me and my mate because I won't spare you next time"he said to her before leaving.Tears rolled down Kate's cheeks.she didn't know what to do.Luke was angry with her and she didn't want that.she knew Luke well and knew that he didn't spare his enemies,he cared about her by not doing anything very bad to her,he only slapped her.The door closed and she was locked in darkness again."What should w
