Life never makes it easy. I walked away from Aaron for a reason but reasons don’t hold back love. He found his way to me again. And now after tearing free once more, I’m the one coming to him. Maybe this is madness. Maybe this is fate.But one thing is certain, this time, everything is going to change.The car screeched to a halt after what felt like an eternity on the road. My heart raced as I jolted awake, peering out the window to find myself in the town of Aaron. The Crystal Palace. The place looked mysterious and very quiet, not the way I imagined.Amaya who was driving put on a scarf to cover her face. I guess it’s because she’s known as an enemy here and they would freak their balls out to see her here. The ride around the town felt really weird. My stomach tied a knot and I could feel it in my bones that something was about to go wrong. It makes me feel scared…. really scared.Since I’m a city werewolf and not a pack wolf. I’ve never really been to a real town like this bef
I stood back watching Mr Willam’s argue with Amaya about taking Luca to crystal Palace for treatment. Just like expected, he doesn’t want that to happen. His thoughts are right, crystal Palace is dangerous but it’s our only hope to save Luca’s life. "I don’t agree with this." He spatted "But it’s our only hope. You heard the doctor, Luca might only have the week to survive." Amaya argued "There can be another way, I’m not sending my son to Crystal Palace. You know how dangerous it is.""Well, what other options do we have William? We have nothing, we have to do this.""And you think they will help you? Don’t you know that Crystal Palace are core enemies with Moonlit Pack! They will never help.""They will if Bella comes with us and talks to Alpha Aaron. He might not want to help Luca but for her, he will."Willam hesitated for a moment before shaking his head "No! I’m gonna find another way around this but we are not sending Luca to that land.""Are you even listening to me?" She d
"Yes Dad, I’m fine," I said through the phone as I attempt to keep my voice steady. I am on a call with Dad. He called me because I haven’t been replying his text nor have I called him like I normally do. With Luca in the hospital, I honestly didn’t get the time to do none of that. I’ve been so busy that I forgot I have other things to do."Are you sure?" He asked sounding worried "Yes, I’m really sure. I’m okay, just a little overwhelmed with school lately. I honestly forgot to call or text, and I’m really sorry.""It’s okay pumpkin, I understand. But you should definitely take a break, you don’t want to burn out from all that school work.""Yeah, I’ll definitely take a break.""That’s more like it." He said sounding a bit more relieved "Okay dad, I have to go now. I love you." I said, he said the same to me before I ended the call.I walked up to Kenzie and the others, who had come to check on Luca. I’d already told them everything— what happened, how he was doing, how things are
Tears streamed down my face as I stood outside the hospital room, watching the doctors fight to keep Luca alive.Just hours ago, he was fine; peaceful. I remember watching him sleep, his breathing steady, his face calm. I let myself rest too, only to be jolted awake by a sharp noise. Panic surged through me when I saw him thrashing, his skin colder than ice, yet his heart rate spiking as if he was burning from the inside out. I called the doctors immediately. Now, here we are. Me, helpless behind the glass, and Luca, barely hanging on.Something about the poison doesn’t add up. The way his body keeps shifting, the strange energy in the air, the look in his eyes, it all feels wrong. Too wrong. Like there’s something much darker than we know.I can feel it in my bones. Lucinda must have done way worse than poisoning him. Everything just doesn’t make any sense to me and I’m finding it very hard to figure out what exactly is happening with Luca. My focus stayed locked on Luca until the c
After everyone had met Luca and he was finally alone, resting, I decided it was time to see him. I slowly opened his door. He was lying on the bed, watching an old American movie that screamed ‘boring’. His eyes shifted to me, and a soft smile lit up his tired face. "Bella." He said gently."Hey," I replied, trying to sound casual. He looked frail, like someone who’d been hospitalized for months. I really feel bad for him. I walked over and sat in the chair beside his bed. "How are you feeling?" I asked softly.He let out a slow sigh, hesitating before answering. "I don’t know. I can’t really explain it."I reached out and held his hand. It was just as cold as the last time I touched him."It’s going to be alright," I said quietly.He smiled faintly and held my hand a little tighter. "So tell me something." He said trying to lighten up the mood "Tell you what?" I asked."I don’t know… anything," He said with a shrug. "I’m really bored. Just talk to me.""Well… the girls and the bo
Amaya goes on to tell me everything "Luca was mated to Lucinda’s daughter, Madrid. She’s half-wolf, half-witch. I guess that’s why the Moon Goddess paired her with him. But Madrid rejected Luca so fast, he collapsed on the spot."My brows furrowed in confusion "Why did she reject him?""Because Lucinda wouldn’t allow it," Amaya said bitterly. "Lucinda is not just any witch. She’s powerful…. dangerously powerful. She sees things, does things most witches wouldn’t dare. And when she found out Luca’s wolf spirit was rare, she panicked. She believed that if Madrid marked him, his power would surpass her entire bloodline.""So… she didn’t want her daughter strengthening a wolf?" I asked"Exactly," Amaya said, nodding. "Lucinda is obsessed with keeping her magic intact. And Madrid? She worships her mother’s every word. Neither of them wanted to risk their power being passed to a wolf. They were afraid of Luca becoming something greater than either of them."I started to put two in two toget
