로그인Luca—-I don’t know if she’s mad… or just pretending.And that right there is what’s messing with my head the most.Because it’s been two weeks.Two full weeks since that video showed up and turned everything upside down, and somehow I’m still standing here with no solid proof, no name, no face, nothing I can use to shut this whole thing down once and for all.And worst of all…Kiki acting like nothing happened. Not completely nothing, because I’m not stupid, I can see the small things, the distance in her eyes, the way her body tenses sometimes when I get too close, the way she watches me when she thinks I’m not looking, but at the same time…She’s playing nice.Sweet even.And that doesn’t sit right with me.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the screen in front of me while my fingers tapped slowly against the desk, my mind running in circles for the hundredth time today.“She saw the video…” I muttered under my breath, my jaw tightening slightly. “So what exactly are you doing,
Kiki—-“Kiks… I’m sorry, I have to speak with my mate. Can we talk later?” Tia said quickly, her eyes still glued to Kingsley like I wasn’t even standing there anymore, and before I could even respond properly, he had already pulled her away like he had been waiting his whole life for that moment.And just like that…She was gone.I stood there for a few seconds, staring at their retreating backs as they disappeared down the hallway, my arms still slightly raised like I hadn’t fully registered that the hug was over.That was fast.One second she was in my arms, grounding me, making me feel like I could breathe again after two weeks of feeling like I was drowning, and the next second she was being pulled away by a bond she didn’t even know existed until five minutes ago.I let my hands fall slowly to my sides, exhaling quietly as I shook my head a little.“Mate…” I repeated under my breath, the word feeling strange on my tongue like it didn’t fully belong in my reality.The way she sa
Kiki—-The moment I saw her…I didn’t think. I just ran straight across the pack house like something inside me finally snapped back into place after being broken for too long, my feet moving faster than my brain could process as Gabby stepped aside and there she was standing right there like she had always been meant to be.“Tia!”I crashed into her arms so hard I almost knocked her off balance, wrapping my arms around her tightly like if I let go she might disappear as well and I wasn’t ready for that kind of pain twice.“Kiks… I can’t breathe…” she muttered, her voice muffled against my shoulder as she tried to adjust herself in my grip.But I didn’t loosen it immediately.I couldn’t.“I missed you so much, Tia… so fucking much…” I cried, my voice breaking as everything I had been holding in for the past two weeks came rushing out at once without warning.And God, it felt like I had been holding my breath this whole time without even realizing it.Because the moment I touched her…
Dan—-“Does that woman not really care?” His voice came through the phone sharp and impatient, like he had already asked himself that question a hundred times and still didn’t like the answer he was getting.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling for a second as I let his words sit, because the truth was I already knew where this was going, and I didn’t like it one bit.I wanted to say it.I really did.I wanted to laugh a little and tell him I warned you, I told you this wasn’t going to go the way you expected, but I kept my mouth shut because saying that to someone like him was the fastest way to dig your own grave.And I wasn’t ready to die yet.Not over this.Not over Kiki.So instead, I exhaled slowly and said the only thing that made sense to him.“Her sister and mother mean nothing to her,” I said calmly, even though something about saying it out loud felt off, like I was forcing a version of her that didn’t fully sit right in my head.But I pushed that feeling asid
Kiki—-“Two can play this game…” I muttered under my breath the moment the door clicked shut behind him, and for a second I just stood there staring at the door like it might open again and he would walk back in with another soft voice and another promise I didn’t know whether to believe or not.God.I felt pathetic.Like actually pathetic.The kind of pathetic I used to laugh at when I read those cliché stories where the girl keeps crying and shaking and waiting for someone to save her while her whole life is falling apart, and now here I was doing the exact same thing like I had no control over myself, like I didn’t recognize the person staring back at me anymore.I dragged my hand over my face roughly, wiping the tears that refused to stop falling no matter how hard I tried to act like I was done crying, and I let out a dry laugh that didn’t sound like me at all because it carried too much pain and not enough sense.Look at you.No power.No wolf.No plan.Just vibes and trauma.I
Luca—-“Are you planning to kill me as well?”That was the first thing she said the moment I stepped into the room.And for a second… I stopped moving.Not because I didn’t understand the question, but because of how easily it came out of her mouth, like it was something she had already accepted as a possibility. Like I was that kind of person in her eyes now.It hit harder than I expected.I closed the door slowly behind me, my gaze staying on her as she sat on the bed, her body tense, her eyes red and swollen from crying. She looked tired, drained, like everything had finally caught up to her and refused to let go.And the worst part…She looked at me like I was the reason. Like I was the problem. Like I was the danger in the room.It was funny in a messed up way.How much I suddenly cared about that.“Firecracker…” I called out, my voice low as I took a step toward her.“Don’t fucking call me that!” she snapped immediately, her voice breaking as fresh tears slid down her face.I f
LUCA —- The moment I reached the private airstrip with my mate in my arms, the tension inside me tightened like a knot ready to snap. The moonlight hit the sleek black jet waiting on standby and right beside it stood Kingsley arms crossed with his jaw locked, his eyes sharp like he’d been pacing
KIKI —- My head felt like it was sitting inside a microwave someone forgot to turn off. Hot. Burning. Throbbing hard enough that I thought the whole thing might split open if I moved wrong. I tried to sit up. Bad idea. Something tugged at my arm and I realized I was hooked to tubes and wires l
LUCA —- The second the jet’s wheels hit the runway, my whole body tensed like I’d been holding my breath for hours. Maybe I had. The engines whined, and all I could think about was the barely-there rise and fall of her chest against mine. Kiki felt weightless in my arms, and not in the romantic
LUCA —- Stella’s words were still hanging in the air like they were glued to the damn walls. Her voice kept replaying in my head, soft and shaky, the kind of tone people only use when they’re talking about something that already hurts. If anything happens to her… Yeah. I didn’t want to think abo
