Samantha’s Pov

“You're not leaving this table until I say so.”

“You're not the boss of me; you can’t dictate what I do,” I fired back at him. It was infuriating that he sat there and dictated my actions when there was obviously an elephant in the room.

“And yet, you still sit down there willingly.”

“I don't think ‘willingly’ is the right term for it.” He did nothing but smile. Smile?! I had had a shitty week because of him. I did nothing but train, and although I had noticed some changes in my strength, the discovery didn’t make me feel happy.

I couldn’t share it with him. I was in heat; I needed him sexually too but had to resort to my hands—which was fucked up, by the way. And he had the right to sit there and smile like there was nothing to address, like his unruly behavior should be excused.

“What do you want from me?” I asked in defeat.

Luca did nothing but stare at me. He looked at me like he was looking into the deepest part of my soul. Not only was that look scary, but it was

    Samantha’s PovWe walked into the eating house, my hand in his. The empty tables and fluorescent lights greeted us. Thank goodness I told Tyler about this. He was able to book the whole eating house for our time. The waiter greeted us as we sat down at our table.“Welcome to Donero's eating house, Alpha and the kind missus. What would you like to have?”“What’s on the menu?” I asked.“Well… a fresh wine is available for the couple, and the meal is being prepared. Name whatever meat you would like to have, and it will be served.”I smiled in contentment, taking in the fluorescent candles set on the small round tables, draped with white linen, and the wooden beams that crisscrossed the ceiling. The air was soothing, mixed with a rich smell of spices and beef. The chandeliers hung above, giving the place an overall touch.“We’ll go through the menu and let you know. Before that, give us your finest wine, please,” I said. He nodded, and with a smile and a small bow, he walked away.“Real

    Samantha’s Pov“Show me already!” I shrieked happily as Luca dragged me along. He blindfolded me, saying he had a surprise to show me. The sound of horses neighing told me we had walked into the stables.“We are in the stables? What is it, Luca? Tell me already,” I said happily.We came to a stop, and he went behind me, his fingers brushing my neck as he removed the blindfold.I opened my eyes immediately and scanned what was in front of me. A horse – white and majestic. The mane was long, grazing over the body and down to the head of the tail.“I got her for you. You needed a horse for your riding lessons. If you want, I can help you with those lessons, or Xavier could. Whatever you want, really,” he said, looking down shyly.I smiled, pulling him into a tight hug. “Thank you! Thank you! I love her so much!”“You do?”I placed a small kiss on his forehead. “You chose her for me, and I love her already…”He smiled, shining his white thirty-two teeth. “I'm glad you love her. I was skep

    Samantha’s PovAfter a few knocks, Luca popped his head inside the room.“May I come in?”“Sure,” I responded, and he entered the room. He strode to the bed and sat down beside me. I shifted, sinking into the sheets.“How are you feeling?” he asked.Terrible. I feel terrible. I didn't respond; I just kept mute, my eyes focused on the door.“Hey,” he said, tucking strands of hair off my face and brushing them to my ear.“You know you can tell me anything, right?”“I know.”“You have been in your room for days, and I am worried about you.”“You don't have to be. I am fine,” I lied. No matter how much I try to sleep, I can't. The picture of my dead sister still haunts me, and it is all my fault. If she hadn't tried to save me, this wouldn't have happened.I ruin everything. I am nothing, nothing but a liability.“Talk to me, please. Just talk to me. I don't like seeing you hurt this way, so please, talk to me.”“What do I say?” I asked.“Anything. If you need to vent it all out, then do

    Luca's PovDays. It’s been days since Lily’s death, and the royal palace is quiet like a graveyard. Samantha hardly leaves her room or opens up to me. Mikala has tried talking to her, but she chases everyone away. Xavier… he has it bad. I don’t even know where he is. After Lily’s burial, I saw him in the maze with a smoke between his teeth.I now realize how much Lily meant to him. To be honest, I have no interest in hating him for leaving. It still hurts, but I understand what it means to lose a loved one. He had waited for her, and the only chance he had to be beside her—it was taken away from him.This is the problem, you see. Lily’s death proves that the prophecy will come true. I shouldn’t think about that right now, but I can’t help it.“Still mourning Lily?” Tyler asked, stepping into the library. I snuck in here to relax my head and think.“I’m not mourning her. You should know that.” A small grin spread on his lips.“What are you doing here then?”“Relaxing.”He eyed me, taki

    Samantha Pov “Lily…you can't do this!... not now…” Xavier murmured as he cradled her body in his arms.She didn't respond.“Please!!” He begged, his voice hoarse from crying. “I just got you back…” He buried his face in her neck, wetting her body with his tears.I clenched my arm closer, sobs racking through my body. My sister that I just gained was dead.She died protecting me.She should have just left! She should have ignored me and kept her nose out of whatever the fuck this fight was about.“...you should have taken the advice you gave…” I cried.In that moment, the fighting around me became nothing but background noise, the fact that my life was in danger meant nothing. My whole world reduced to Lily, my sister.Xavier gave me a pained look over his shoulder, his eyes were red but he wasn't crying anymore.Do you blame me?... I couldn't bring myself to ask him.He gently picked her up, my heart ached at the way he cradled her. He held her like she was the most precious thing in
