Luka's pov
"Did you do it?" My mom asked, just as I stepped inside.
"Yes mom I ended what ever friendship I had with the human" That was how they addressed her. It's not like she saved my life or anything, but they wouldn't know that.
Before I got back two weeks ago, everyone was drop dead worried about me. I didn't get why, I'm a grown ass man. But apparently Ty made everyone think that I was in danger.
After I got back, my mom was the first to speak that I 'reeked' of a human. I told them the lie I told Caleb and they bought it. They didn't like the part about me agreeing
Victoria's pov I was sitting in the kitchen sink, contemplating whether I wanted to go to work today or just stay home. It was now Friday, exactly five days after I saw Luka and he ended our little 'friendship'. And to make my week worse, I've been pmsing since. Just peachy. I didn't feel like going at all, so I called Kera to ask her if I could take the day off. However, she wouldn't have it. "No. No. No Vic," she wailed on the other line. "Mom and Nick are not here and I can't hold up by myself. Pleeease come." I just groaned in response, reluctantly giving in. She knew what each of my groans meant so I didn't have to elaborate. I knew she couldn't run the diner by herself, so that was the only reason I decided to
Victoria's pov Luka was tense the whole way. It was like he was already regretting letting me stay with him. All he told me was that he lived with his brother, sister and two friends, Caleb being one of them. I was confused as to why he invited me to stay with him and then was having second thoughts. "You know if you're having second thoughts..." I dragged, giving him a hint. He glanced at me then shook his head. "No it's okay. It's the least I can do since you saved my life"Well I haven't completely saved it yet. I simply smiled, telling him thanks silently but said nothing else. The ride was long and deep in the woods. He wasn't lying wh
Victoria's povI woke up extra early so that I could leave for work before anyone else woke up. Of course, I'll need to get a ride from Luka given that I don't have my car yet, and I would definitely get lost in the woods. But I decided to let him get some more rest first.After applying my lipstick and tightening my hair, I made my way downstairs to grab something to eat. I tiptoed passed Luka's room as I went to get breakfast before waking him.It took me a while to actually find the kitchen.. The house was too big for its own good. To my surprise, everyone except Luka and Caleb was already in the kitchen eating and talking.Great."Good morning" I greeted, expecting a little manners, but of course, no one answered."Not too many at once please" I muttered sarcastically and actually received a chuckle from Lincoln.I got myself a sandwich and went to the farthest end of the kitchen to eat alone. I noticed Twinkle's bowl wa
Victoria's pov It's been a week since I got here, and things were the same for the most part. I received a few 'good mornings' and smiles now and then, but that was it. Better that than nothing though.To my surprise, this morning Ty asked me if I was doing okay. I don't wanna speak too soon, but I guess this was the 'warming up' that Lincoln was talking about. They always seemed busy though, and I've come to learn that they kinda ran things around here, hence the protectiveness. I totally understand. Luka and I have been getting to know each other since the past week. He would drop me off at work and pick me back up, then we would talk in his room most nights give
Victoria's povTwo and a half hours later, Emma and I were ready to go. We tried to look as casual as possible, but our little 'girl moment' went a little overboard, so we looked like we're about to go to a party.Emma wore her red dress that she bought with her white stilettos. I curled her long dark hair and lent her my red earrings to match her dress. For a person who doesn't do make-up a lot, I did a pretty good job on her, and so did her with me.I wore a blue halter top dress with my black lace heels. I got a smokey eye look and Emma straightened my hair like today, but she added light curls at ends, making the blonde at th
Victoria's pov It was the next day and I found myself going to the diner. My dream from last night kept playing in my head and I didn't have the strength to be around him today. My mind was too jumbled and confused. I wasn't gonna live in denial telling myself that I don't feel anything for him. I'm old enough to understand my own feelings. What I'm messed up about is how I'm gonna move on with these new feelings. I know I haven't had feelings like this since Jonah, but as much I'm a bit excited, I'm also scared. If he doesn't feel the same way I will understand, I'm not 12. But if he does, would I be willing to act on these feelings? I mean, he lives two hours into the woods and I have a life in town. He's also full of secrets and I don't know if I could live lik
Victoria's pov We were on our way back and I haven't uttered a word. After Caleb portrayed his possessiveness towards Ashley, I got out of his way and he 'accepted' her. However, he didn't say anything else. He just walked to the car and we followed in suit. Ashley looked nervous and confused, and if I was being truthful, so was I. I'm nervous for her, because even though I don't know anything about this mate thing, I would've expected a little more reaction from him. Also, I just found out that these people are werewolves! I've been living with wolves. What a story. Caleb doesn't know that I know, because I want to confront all of them about it. He did seem confused as to why I hadn't questioned him about Ashley though, but he seemed too deep in thought to questi
Luka's pov "I'll come back and talk tomorrow," She had said. Except, she didn't. It has been four days and there was still no sign of Victoria. When I called her, she always said that something came up and she'll come the next day, or she didn't answer at all. It was getting old. I couldn't help but feel like a scene was replaying in my life, like deja vu, and it was terrifying. I don't want to live through that again. When she was leaving on Sunday, my wolf became restless. I couldn't control him, and for some reason he believes she's in danger. I can't blame him though. The last time someone dear to us left, she never came back. I guess that's why it affected us this much.
Note: Please don't look to this chapter as a closure. Please! Your closure was in "Chapter 49-Final" so if you decide to see this as the final, please don't. You'll like the previous one better, trust me. This is a bonus chapter that can play as an epilogue, but it focuses on the future rather than just Victoria and Luka. But please do read it, and enjoy nonetheless. You have been warned! Don't attack me if you don't like it. But you will don't worry, just not as a sentimental ending. Happy reading! *** "Victoriaaaaa how much farther? " Zoey whined for the hundredth time since we started driving. I rolled my eyes at my sister while I looked to Luka for help. "Just a few more
Luka's pov "It's a boy" My heart welled up in joy at the words the love of my life spoke happily.It's a boy. He'd been born. And by the look on her face, he was okay too. "That's great! " I exclaimed as everyone else in the hallway processed the information. Caleb and Ashley's baby was finally in the world. And despite the long agonizing hours that Ashley have been in labour, it was all forgotten. She had gone into labour earlier than she was intended to, and so she faced complications. She's been at the hospital for the past two days, and my wonderful Victoria has been with her every step of the way.
Victoria's pov I've always been someone who looks too deep into someone or something. That's because from a young age I've learnt that there's always more than what meets the eye. When I first met Stella, she showed me that dark side of her that you can't see with the naked eye. And since she loves everyone around her, and visa versa, they wouldn't have noticed. But me, the stranger and the human who wasdoomingher and her family to a tragic end, was met with the side of her that nobody else saw. Don't get me wrong, she isn't a bad person and she has a heart. But emotions always cloud judgement. And since I had little emotions towards her, I could see what everyone didn't.So when Luka t
Victoria's pov All our hearts were in our throats as we entered Caleb's room. Ashley was the first to speak as she took slow steps towards his bed. "Caleb? " A grunt came from him, and I knew I could speak for everyone when I said that that was the best grunt I've ever heard in my lifetime. She was in tears again as she ran the rest of the way towards his bed and jumped on him, cradling his head in her bosom as she cried. "I thought I lost you" She sobbed in his hair. He winced slightly, but he didn't hesitate to return her hug, though he was weak. "I'd never leave you baby. Even if I have to fight with Death himself" His voice was soft and croaky, but the confidence made it loud enough for us to hear. "But II felt the bond break" "It didn't sweetheart" He pulled her back and wiped her te
Victoria's pov "Victoria what's wrong? " "No time for questions Luka. Just get in your car and come home now. Please!" I threw my phone on the table and ran out behind Emma after I got my message to Luka. She shifted in her wolf so we could be there faster, and I clenched on to the robe for her as she ran through the mass of trees.Minutes after, we approached a group of wolves and I noticed that some were shifted and some still in human form. I also noticed that Caleb was in his own wolf form, growling and snarling at the man I assumed was Samuel. He was as tall as Lincoln was, and shared most of his features. He was, however, slightly slimmer and looked too old for his age. Samuel had a calm smile on his face, and two wolves stood behi
Victoria's pov "Yea thanks it's great...No problem, I'll send it directly to your accounts... Thanks, bye". I ended the call and peered around my living room in awe once again. Those people really did a good job, I felt like I was standing in a brand new house. Yesterday I got a call that my house was finally done, termite free and all. Luka wanted me to wait until he's back from his two day Alpha meeting in the Truemoon Pack, but I just couldn't wait. I snapped a quick pic and sent it to him. It was nine in the morning so he was probably in a meeting, but I couldn't help myself. The house looked great. It made me want to move back in and relish in all its beauty. I didn't get to visit all the rooms, but the few I sa
-Five months later- Victoria's pov "I found my mate guys! " We all gasped in delight when Ty finally announced his surprise. For weeks he had been telling us about this 'surprise' that he had for us, but he would always blow us off. "Called it! Pay up bro" Our heads all snapped to Caleb, as Lincoln mumbled something under his breath and gave him a twenty. "You guys bet on me? " Ty laughed on the big tv screen. "What else could it be though? I'm happy for you man! Congrats". Caleb beamed. Ty texted Emma this morning and asked her to gather everyone for the announcement. Lincoln somehow connected the call to the tv
Victoria's pov Three weeks went by in a flash, and things only got more interesting by the day. Caleb was finally able to sense Ashley's scent change, and whenever he's not working, he'd have his nose lodged into her neck. I was quite happy for them. They seemed so content. Emma seemed to come to terms with the fact that Ty was gone, though they practically talked every night. It was good to see her accepting the change since she was so sensitive about it. Luka and I enrolled Zoey in a class for her age, where she'll learn basic knowledge for her age group while getting enough time to practice her art. I've come to learn that they only start learning about werewolf theo
Victoria's pov "Happy birthday to you!" Caleb grunted as I landed on him with a thud and wrapped him in a bone crushing hug. "Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy biiiirrrtthhdaaaaaay! " I repeated as I gave him a huge kiss on his cheek. "I can't wait for my birthday to come" I heard Luka mumble as he sat on the opposite couch. With a short laugh, I hopped off Caleb and sat beside Luka. "Thanks Tori," Caleb said with a chuckle. "I'm grateful for all the love toda-" "Happy birthday uncle Caleb! " He was tackled again by Zoey after she emerged from thin air it seemed. "Thanks Zozo" He gently kissed her head as she cringed at the nickname.
