The door open and shut but I did not bother to look who it was. I can smell Harley, anyway. He just got back from the crime scene. I bit my fingernails from the nervousness I feel inside.

What did he find out? Is it a shifter? A regular wolf? Damn it!

I did not bother looking at Harley when I felt his presence in the living room. Pretending that I was watching the TV, I stopped biting my nails and inhaled slowly.

“How’s everything out there?” I asked in a normal voice.

Harley exhaled loud. “Just a wolf. Badly torn apart though.” he slumped himself down the couch. “How’s the talk with the brother?”

I shrugged. “Just the usual.”

“Yeah, like I know the usual, right?” he said sarcastically.

I looked at him and squinted my eyes. Why was he so grumpy? “Someone twisted your panties or something?”

Harley shook his head and looked away. It looked like he was thinking about something and wanted to say it out loud but also thinking if he should.

“Don’t tell me you will act like that all day? Bec

  • Alpha of the Shadows   Epilogue

    Chapter Eighty-SixLucianna’s POVThe breather reached a whole night and I found Ashira and Aiden at our kitchen when I woke up the next morning. Jacob was still sleeping and I must’ve looked like shit because when they saw me, Ashira’s face was masked with worry.“Good morning,” I greeted and gave them a small smile. I head to the counter and sat at a stool.Ashira went to my side and pulled me for a side hug. “Hey,” she said, her tone comforting and she didn’t need to add another word. I knew what she wanted to say. “I made breakfast.”“Thanks. Sorry, I overslept.” Less sleep and more crying actually. Ashira rubbed my arm before letting me go. “Where’s Quillon?”“He stayed at the room,” Ash sighed. “He didn’t stop persuading us last night. He really wanted to help, Luce. I’m sorry.” I could tell that her apology was sincere.Aiden huffed but didn’t say a thing, he just sip on his cup of coffee.I smiled. “Hey, It’s alright. I understand. I really do.”“If there was another way, I pr

    Lucianna’s POVI never thought I’d smell it in the air. It was a bit of sweet and woody, mixed with a hint of bitter bits. Hope.It was too soon to conclude but the moment all of us settled inside Jacob’s office, I knew something has changed. It wasn’t just the atmosphere, it wasn’t just the air or our aura’s. Its something I couldn’t explain.“Okay, baby, anytime you’re ready…” Ashira said again in a comforting voice but I know how she feels as hopeful as I was. Though hers were blended with a bit of concern and I understand why. Quillon is still a kid, despite his advanced state of development and power.Quillon looked at us one by one. His innocent eyes made me feel guilty for having him shoulder such a huge responsibility. If only Fhoxia’s time wasn’t up before she got something that might help then I wouldn’t had to ask Quillon for help.“She told me that she discovered me but she didn’t explain what she meant with that,” he paused and pursed his lips. “I think she meant she foun

    Lucianna's POV“Fhoxia,” I called when we are all gathered in front of the messenger. “This is Quillon, you understand each other, right?”As if I understand that Fhoxia would not respond, I looked at Quillon and wait for what he has heard. Not just me, but everyone of us.“She says ‘the time is near’,” Quillon said, looking straight at Fhoxia. “Her task in this realm has ended but she couldn’t leave until she got to help. That is why she can no longer speak and why she was starting to join the wind.”The tears couldn’t stop itself from forming into my eyes. So that is why Fhoxia hasn’t responded to any of us. This is the reason and she stays just to help us.“Did she find out anything to help?” Jacob asked. All of us are stunned with what Quillon said but Jacob recovered first. “Any cure?”Quillon was patiently waiting for what Fhoxia has answered. The silence made my head swirl in thoughts, mixed emotions and ideas. But from it all, the silent prayer I did in the back of my head sho

    Lucianna’s POV“Why proceed with it, then?” Aiden asked, wincing a bit from the heaviness of his words. I just told them about the Shadow eye and the curse of it because of a mishap that the first born didn’t inherit the gift.“Aiden! You can't tell a mother to get rid of her pup.” Ashira answered, agitated on my behalf. Aiden looked at me with apologizing gaze but the way his jaw clenched tells me his vote is just the same as Roscoe’s.“I actually tried to.” the sigh that came out of my lips was cold as memories came rushing.“Ohmy! Luce!” my friend's eyes were wide from shock, covering her mouth and tears forming on her eyes.My smile has shame lingering on it. This is a new emotion on my part. I always thought that I haven't done anything wrong when I decided to went with Roscoe on that cave. Maybe its because this is the first time I talked about it with a person of a same gender. Plus, Ash is a mother now so she can relate more than I could imagine how horrible what I did. I su

    Lucianna’s POVRoscoe came and as soon as he get off his car, we exchanged a look that lasts for almost a minute. There was a lot in our eye language and it’s more like him saying ‘I told you so,’ and mine were ‘We’re in this situation so fucking try and talk with your mate’s body’. I saw his shoulder sagged as he sighed but headed to where Fhoxia was as if he read my mind.I really hope Roscoe can get something, anything, from Fhoxia. He does before, he still felt the bond between him and his mate’s body that the messenger borrowed. So I hoped, keep on hoping, there’s nothing I could do anyway.“He’s been there for how long?” Harley asked behind me.Time has reached a spot on top of my list that I prioritized to forget, so I just shrugged Harley’s question. Now watching Roscoe has made me feel dreaded in the guts so I decided to head inside and sit on the couch. Harley lingered longer by the porch, watching my brother-in-law like a hawk.I don’t know if I feel excited or anxious with

    Lucianna’s POV“She’s creepy.” Harley commented as we drank coffee out at the porch. “How long has she been here?”“One week now.” I sighed. “I keep on asking her why she’s here but she won’t talk. Roscoe won’t be here until later this evening but he told me over the phone that Fhoxia didn’t reached out to him either.”“It means this messenger has no message to deliver? So, what, just being nosy?”I scoffed. “Bite me, I don’t know either.”“And Roscoe will be here? Jacob finally permitted his return?”Jacob gave a temporary ban for Roscoe after what happened in the cave. My mate hated the idea that his brother kept on deciding things for him.“Yeah, he only agreed this morning. He didn’t want to, I just convinced him since Roscoe might be the one Fhoxia could talk to or something.”“And that is why?”I sighed and nudged my mug at the messenger’s direction . “That body was borrowed from a dead woman. The dead woman was Roscoe’s mate.” Harley’s jaw dropped and before he could pry more,
