Samantha's Pov It's been days since Luca attacked Xavier and we still haven't talked about why he did it. In his defense, he fell asleep with his face between my breasts that day and I haven't brought up the topic since then.I really don't want to be the one to bring it up, I want him to tell me when he's ready. I expect him to do so.“You're thinking hard about something, not that I care but if you're here with me, don't you think it's fair that your mind is also here?” Lily asked glaring at her bowl of fruits like it offended her somehow.“You're not exactly good company.”I still don't know why Luca released her but it's clear that they strucked a deal. She has her own room but I've not seen her leave the house.She sniffed, “that's an insult to my personality. Besides, you've not really said anything apart from asking why I hurt you even though we've established that I'll never tell you. It's getting boring sister of mine.”“We can't talk like normal sisters. I barely know anyth
Luca's PovTyler sighed. My thoughts seemed to be mirrored on my face because he gave me a soft sad look.“Luca, this isn't something you can keep from her. You have to tell her.”“Won't she be better of without knowing? What if she finds out and takes it upon herself to develop said abilities? Right now, her abilities are just awakening, if she doesn't know about it they might remain dominant. If she doesn't use her abilities, no one will know she has them. Thanos won't be able to get her that way.”“Listen to yourself Luca.” He didn't look disgusted but I could picture the look on his face so clearly that it almost looked like he was.You're just obsessed…you don't love her…“You want to subdue a part of the woman you love just because you're afraid? That means you don't believe in yourself to protect her, it means you don't even believe that she can protect herself in your absence. I'm not even going to talk about your lack of faith in me or the pack.”“I'm sorry,” I rubbed my face
Luca's PovWhat Lily had said has been bugging me. I can't bring myself to tell Samantha about it. The thought of Xavier and Samantha being together—does this mean Samantha and I will be separated? Does this mean she and Xavier will end up together? Is fate trying to repeat itself?I closed my eyes before picking up the pen and continued writing on the plain sheet."What's eating you up?" Tyler asked, looking at me out of the corner of his eye."Nothing," I replied, focusing on the papers in front of me."You've been moody lately. And oddly quiet."I raised an eyebrow at him. "Am I not always quiet?" I asked."I digress."Fucker..."Come on. You know you can tell me anything."I sighed and dragged my hands over my face helplessly. Tyler is my Beta, and I trust him with almost anything. He has been by my side, and as a brother figure to me, we hardly keep things from each other. Telling him this, however..."Is this about Lily?" he asked."Yes," I replied, dropping the feather pen onto
Luca's Pov“Really? I highly doubt that. But of course, you are the rejected one. If he really cared about you like you think, he would've come to see you. Xavier is aware that you’re locked up, so why hasn’t he?”She glared at me, her cheeks wet from crying. I knew I had her the minute I used the Xavier card on her. From her reaction, she must have some feelings for him or think highly of him to feel bad about what I had said.“Now, tell me. Why did you kidnap Samantha, and why did you set her on fire?” I was already at my last straw. If she wasn’t going to cooperate, torturing her would be the next step.“You will let me go. If I tell you this, you will let me go. Promise me. Give me your word,” she said. I could see fear written all over her face, but fear of what? What was she scared of?“Please… promise me that if I tell you, I will be protected and no harm will come to me.”I paused and tucked my hands into my pockets.“You have my word,” I said, and she breathed a sigh of relie
Luca's PovLet her go. Leave her alone. No. I will not do that. Not even in a thousand years. I watched Samantha pick up the half-eaten apples and place them back into the food basket. She looked at me as if I had dug a deep hole in her heart, as if I had hurt her immensely. Her look was filled with confusion, angst, and disappointment. With one last glance at me, she left, leaving me alone with Lily.“Wow. I admire the chemistry; it’s really good,” Lily announced, dragging my thoughts away from Samantha.“Stop talking.”I picked up the keys and locked the dungeon.“You really think she will forgive you after everything you’ve done?” she chuckled, her tone filled with mockery. “I wonder what will happen when you eventually kill me like you plan. I bet she will leave your side,” she continued.“Shut up.”Her laughter increased, and it felt like a slap to my face. I know what she’s saying is true, but I don’t want to believe it. Samantha feels the same way I do about her, and she has to
Samantha's PovLuca wasn't beside me when I woke up. The cold feeling on his side of the bed told me that he probably didn't get in at all. And as guilty as it made me feel, I used his absence to my benefit.The cut on my neck was healed, luckily there wasn't any scar.Taking some fruits and bread from the tray that was placed there for me, I piled them on a plate, grabbed a jug of water and left the room. The guilt grew when I realized that Luca hadn't assigned guards to watch me.He trusted that I would stay put and here I was breaking that trust but my curiosity won't let me stay still. I needed answers.“Luna,” the two guards by the dungeon gate greeted with their eyes on the floor.“Alpha Luca wants to have a word with the both of you. He's in the court room.”The lie left a bitter taste in my mouth.They hesitated, glancing wearily at each other.“Luna, one of us has to get people to replace us before we leave.”“And keep your alpha waiting?” I raised a brow. “Are you saying tha
