Chapter 71Jacob’s POV“And I think you’ve brought us trouble.” says the visitor.Even though I can’t see her face, I know she’s looking right at me. The emotion of fear comes to me very seldom and that’s when I have no knowledge of something. When there’s something I have no answer about, or I’m left with no resolve.But this woman, well I can’t say she’s human exactly. And I think I’m having that particular emotion right now.Fhoxia is her name, right? And this Fhoxia is not from the living, its dead. She got no presence, no scent, no shadow, nothing.All the inhibitions I had, all the doubts and mistrust was left with certainty. Lucianna and Roscoe are telling the truth and even if I believe them, this woman’s presence alone makes me believe.“He didn’t mean to.” Roscoe spoke, trying to cover up for me. Its not only I who recognize who Fhoxia was talking to.Fhoxia turned her head to Roscoe, ever slowly, the slowest motion I have ever see.“Doesn’t mean he was not to blame.” the fe
Chapter 72 Lucianna’s POV “I mean abortion, Lucianna. We have to kill the pup inside your womb in exchange of enough time.” I swear, all the blood running through my veins left. I froze, and I stopped breathing. Killing the pup… God, that sounds so wrong because it fucking is! “You’re proposing to kill my child, Roscoe.” I stated because he seems to forgot that fact. “Yes--” “My own child. Its your family, too!” “I know that, Lucianna! But do we have a choice? We’re already in this problem, and we got no other options to choose from.” he bowed his head and sighed before looking back at me. “Its either let Jacob die or kill the pup before it consume your mate.” I put my hands up to stop him, unable to can’t hear any more of this. Roscoe has a point and it is clear but I am not thinking of killing my own child. I’m hopeful,I’m still hoping for a miracle to save us all from the fate’s curse. But Roscoe is also right that we have no time. And I have no time to continue hoping. Bu
Chapter 73Lucianna’s POVI heard Jacob’s voice while Harley was talking. The Gamma reported that Roscoe came to visit and that we talked in private but he didn’t add things that will complicate a mind. Though I doubt Jacob will think odd of his brother’s visit, given the situation we are in.My breathing got heavy when the two nodded their goodbyes and Jacob looked my way. Exactly at me, in my eyes, as if he knew I’m standing there and watching them.My reflexes say I should hide, away from his soulless eyes but I can’t. I didn’t. Instead, I walked towards the front door where Jacob were also headed. Jacob stopped just outside the door, right in front of me and I stopped inside, a step away from him.We stood there, eyes locked with each other and I have no idea what’s working on his head. Jacob shows no expression, same thing he has been doing since what had happened. And I can’t read his thoughts, nor his feelings.Is he waiting? I think he’s waiting for me to speak, to tell him so
Chapter 1Lucianna’s POVIt's impossible to contain the overwhelming joy I'm into right now. I feel like dancing though there is no music, I want to sing but I can't find the right song which left me hum and giggle every other second! If someone sees me like this, they'd think I lost my sanity.And I feel like I will soon!"Let's run, Ash!"I was talking with my best girl over the phone, Ashira. It's been days since the mapping and I finally know where my mate is! He's from the Shadow pack!Mapping is a pack tradition. Every pack in every region do it once a year for She-Wolves to locate where their mate resides.The mate bond of females will be activated once at the age of eighteen. The Mapping is the guide for us to find our mates, then we will travel to that pack to attend the Mapping Ball.The only party I ever dreamed to be in!Ahhhh! Finally!"I can't. I need to do some things."I rolled my eyes. "Come on! I'll leave the pack tomorrow! Don't tell me we won't bond before we go? A
Chapter 2Lucianna’s POV“Hi!” I greeted over a group of girls, female wolves like me. We just arrived at the Shadow pack and the van we ride to get here just dropped us in front of the pack guesthouse. And of course, I need some friends! Shadow pack will be my new home, it is better to know someone.The three of them looked at me without any sign of friendliness. They eyed me head to toe and I felt a cold feeling down my spine.I know that look, I’m familiar with it.They didn’t said a word or greet me back, instead they walked away. Okay, they don’t like me. I get it.The nerve!!! We came from the same pack, we are of the same age, I know one of them even! That’s Leslie, one of the Regal pack’s whores! How can they ignore me like that?! Argh!Okay, calm down, Lucianna. There are other girls who’s from the other pack. You will gain a friend.I tried trashing the negative vibes out of my system and looked around. It’s better to befriend strangers than from my former pack, as it seems.
Chapter 3Jacob’s POV“Oh, yes! Ohh!”I groaned, closing my eyes as I thrust in and out of Monica’s wetness. She is one of the she-wolf call-girls of my pack who became my prey tonight.Despite having sex right now, my mind can only think of my mate as if its the only thing I could place my mind into. I can’t forget her face. Her scent. Her smile. And all day, I had a boner from those simple thoughts. My mate…Imagining her face as I pleasure her, as she reach heaven for me. Her scent lingering everywhere while she’s inside my arms, her smile turning into a pleading expression, asking for more. Those thoughts fucked me up all day, leaving me distracted.Leaning in, I grabbed Monica’s blonde hair as I moved fast and deep inside her. My mate is driving me crazy. I’ve been having these sexual urges for weeks now, and I know I will find her this year.Upon seeing her, my wolf immediately stumbled, wiggling its tail from excitement and I’ve been fighting over him for control. And fuck, my
Chapter 4Lucianna’s POVThe night of the Mapping Ball has come! I had few hours left to prepare and I spent most of the day inside my appointed room. There’s nothing to do outside, anyway. My body is asking for some sweat and work out but I’m not sure if I can use the training centers at the pack right now, nor where it is located.Well, it is prohibited to cross those red borders so it's not like I can go anywhere. But damn, I wanted to lose some steam.I tried calling Ashira but she’s not picking up her phone. I already talked to Mommy Len so I’m embarrassed to contact her again. My contact sums up to them, I guess.Rummaging my small suitcase, I took the dress I will wear to the Ball later, flattening it to the bed. The guesthouse room contains essential tools like clothing iron and such so I started fixing my crumpled dress.I bought this at a thrift store back at my pack and it still looked good as new, as well as the pumps.Being an orphan and a pack fighter, it's hard to earn
Chapter 5Lucianna’s POVI watched as the other girls move in the middle of the hall, then one of the guys will move forward, almost like a wild animal, and starts to put their claim to their fated ones neck. The way the men growls the word ‘Mine’ made my knees tremble with excitement. I can’t wait to hear my mate say it!“The Shadow pack’s Alpha is a hottie! It’s too bad we didn’t get to see him!” said a girl who rode the van with me.What now? Are they gonna keep throwing blades at me? So what if the Alpha looks good? It’s not like they still can drool over him when they meet their own mate.Argh. They start to sound pathetic in my ears! It’s almost unbearable that I can’t stop frowning!“Oh, yes! I heard the girls from the front talked about how mighty he is!”“Second strongest Alpha of the North, I wonder how he looks like!”“If it ain’t because of that bitch who came last…”I decided to just hum and focus on what’s happening in front of us. These girls won’t stop blaming me for a
