Lana

The night felt painfully short with Luca by my side. His presence was almost suffocating and it took me forever to fall asleep. But the second I fell asleep, I saw her again.

That strange woman with my face. She didn’t speak and she didn’t blink. She stared at me like I wasn’t welcome.

“Who are you?” I asked.

She stepped closer with an unreadable expression and pushed me with force. My back slammed into a rushing river and I couldn’t breathe as I swallowed the water.

I woke up immediately, gasping for air. It almost felt like I was really drowning. That dream felt too real.

Shaking it off, I slipped into the bathroom, hoping a hot shower would wash my nightmare away. I was almost done rinsing my hair when the door creaked open. I didn’t need to look to know who it was.

“You should eat,” Luca’s deep voice rumbled. “ The chefs made something you might enjoy,” he added.

I ignored him and tied a towel around my body as I stepped out. He was seated on the bed, watching m

    Lana I didn’t know if what Tina was saying was true, but oh help me, I wanted to believe her. Part of me knew she probably harbored her feelings for Luca, so why would she suddenly open up to me like this unless something else was behind it? “What do you mean?” I asked cautiously and her grip on my hand tightened. “I don’t know what you were going to wish for, but if Luca means anything to you… Let your wish be for him to hold a memorial for his mother.” Her tone dropped into something almost sincere, which unsettled me more than her usual cruelty. “Coming from you, he’ll agree and it will heal something inside him. I know how much it breaks him that he can’t honor her the way he wants, all because of what the pack thinks about her.” She continued. I had planned to ask Luca for something selfish. I wanted him to take me to the city for just one day and that was something he would most likely decline. A day outside couldn’t compare to Luca finally being able to honor his mothe

    Lana “I don’t think this is going to work out,” I said as I was trembling with a mix of frustration and humiliation. Just an hour ago, I was so sure that I could do this… that I could impress Luca and earn that one wish he promised. But now? The crystal wasn’t responding at all. It was almost as if it were mocking me. “It is going to work Lana. You’re new to this and that’s all. Don’t be so hard on yourself,” Arya tried to reassure me in a gentle tone. But Tina… she just stood there quietly and Tina being quiet was never a good sign. She never stayed like that unless she was plotting something. “Focus on the river,” Arya instructed again. “Just like Tina told you. Sink into your thoughts and reach for the Crystal’s power. Then you picture exactly what you want it to do.” I nodded, dipped my legs deeper into the rushing water, and closed my eyes. The sound of the river was steady and I tried to concentrate. I really tried… “You know it’s funny..” Tina said suddenly. Of cours

    Luca “Mr. Luca, here’s the company’s report. In it, you’ll see the financial statements from the past few weeks,” Jana said with a thin, nervous voice. I took the file from Jana without looking at her as I flipped through the pages. “Why is there so much money missing? I don’t recall the company’s expenses being this high.” I said calmly but somehow, Jana froze. Her hands twisted together as she swallowed hard. “I hear silence,” I said softly, not looking up from the numbers. “And silence is not an answer I asked for, Jana. So I’ll ask again, where is the money?” Her lips parted as she trembled. “The chairman… your father, sir. He withdrew the funds directly.” I let out a bitter laugh as I leaned back in my chair. “And tell me, do we believe those funds are for something noble? Perhaps he’s planning to open another fucking branch?” “Maybe he’s finally found himself a woman,” Klin growled in my head. “Though with a cock that withered, he’d need to pay triple for any woman desp

    Lana “Someone’s coming, and you care way too much about being seen with me like this,” Luca teased. I snapped my eyes open, shoving at his chest before sliding back into the chair and pretending like nothing happened. My fingers brushed my hair quickly and he scoffed as he stepped away with that arrogant calmness of his. I grabbed a forkful of fried egg and bit down, trying to pretend that we didn’t do anything and I wasn’t feeling any ache between my legs. A staff member entered. “Sir, the car will be ready in five minutes.” “Good,” Luca dismissed him without a glance. I swallowed the lump in my throat. “I wish I could come with you. Just to see the city again. It feels like forever since I stepped outside.” “That’s not happening,” Luca replied immediately. “Not until I know I can fully protect you.” His tone rose slightly. I sighed and pushed the croissant around my plate. “Okay…” He leaned back in his chair and his tone softened a little. “But I could grant you anything

    Lana “The river of healing? You want me to bring it back to life?” I asked as I pinched my hands, letting my nails dig into my palms. It almost felt good that she thought I was useful, but to bring something that had been dead for years back to life? That wasn’t just impossible but insane. I might be the vessel of this crystal, but I don’t know how to use its power. “Yes, tell me you will do it.” Arya urged with hope. I swallowed hard. “I want to help truly. I would love to help the pack even if they hate me for reasons I still don’t understand. But…I’ve never reached for the crystal. I don’t even know how. I’ll only disappoint you.” “We’ll figure it out together,” Arya said firmly as her hand touched mine. “I know this is sudden, but the pack needs you. And if you succeed…they’ll finally see you differently and it will bring them closer to you.” Her smile was so bright, so full of belief, that I couldn’t resist. Arya had been nothing but kind since I got here and more attentive

    Lana When I opened my eyes, the bed beside me was empty. Luca was gone. I sat up slowly and my body felt weak and sore. I looked over to the window and the sky was dark. “How long did I sleep?” I muttered as I pressed a hand to my pounding head. I looked at my ruined clothes that lay on the floor. There was no way I could wear that and sneak back to my room. I pulled my knees up to my chest, hugging them tightly, trying not to remember how he felt inside me and how his lips made me feel. Now I was thinking about him… My thighs still trembled with the memory of his length filling me. I closed my eyes, hoping to forget all we did and then I saw her again. The woman with my face. I watched her golden hair move as she turned to me. I’d been seeing her more often, and not just in dreams anymore. She was always moving her lips, always speaking, but I never heard her voice. I wanted answers about her, the crystal, and about Luca… I needed to know if staying with him really was t
