"it's a long story but I will make it short for you"the maid said to her and Mariana nodded staring at her waiting for her to answer her question."My family was attacked and everyone was killed,I was the only one that survived the incident"Mariana was touched with her story,she regretted asking the maid about it,she made the maid to remember about her past."I am so sorry for making you to remember this part of your life"Mariana said to the maid."it's nothing,I am not affected about it anymore""you must be a strong woman"Mariana said to the maid but the maid ignored her and continued with her story."I had no home,I had no family,I had no shelter,I had no place to go,it was during this tough moment in my life that Sir Luke found me,he took me in,he gave me a shelter,I stayed here"Mariana'sip curled up into a smile."he is a good man, isn't he?""Yes,no matter how he acts,I know there is a goodness in his heart and I can never betray him,no matter what happens"The maid stated."Hav
"How can you allow Luke to beat you up like a child because of a woman?"Kate asked him."What should I have done?am no match for Luke and I am the one at fault here,I shouldn't have tried to mess with his mate"Richard replied."I am tired of hearing that crap from everyone,who says that you are no match for Luke besides you are not the one at fault here,you didn't know that the woman was her mate so I don't see the reason why he should beat you up,I thought you are brave,I thought you never back down when you want something, what are you doing now?"Kate said to Richard."Everything you said is true but the truth to be told,am no match for Luke"Richard replied her."Who says that you are no match for Luke,that's what you want to believe"Kate said to him."So what do you want me to do?"Richard asked folding his arms together.Kate smiled."it's simple,I want you to fight for your rights,you were interested in that woman, Right?I suggest you go for her"Kate said to Richard who let out a l
After Luke left the Lucas mansion,he didn't know where else he would go,he couldn't return back to his house because Mariana was angry with him.he rubbed his hair out of frustration.finally he drove to a bar.After having drinking so much,it was late in the night,he was very drunk,the first time he was drunk in his life,he staggered to his car.The security guard that worked at the bar stopped him telling him that he couldn't drive in his drunken state but he didn't listen to the man,he warned him never to touch him again.out of fear ,the security guard left him.********on the other hand,Mariana has been waiting for Luke to come back because she wanted to apologize to him for the words she said to him.she checked the time again,she was already getting worried.She went to the room where the maid sleeps and knocked on the door."come in"the maid said.Mariana stepped in and saw that the maid was lying on her bed."I am sorry if I am disturbing your sleep"Mariana said to the maid."it'
Luke knew this was the end of everything,he had never felt so helpless before in his entire life time.the pain of losing his mate was so intense,he hadn't marked her but seeing how she was staring at him like he was the worst monster on Earth hurt him so much.He didn't mind if others see him as a monster but his mate seeing him as a monster was a whole different issue.he didn't want to have a mate before but meeting Mariana changed his entire life without him knowing it,he has already accepted her,he has already accepted to love her as his mate and this happens.He clenched his fists,no matter what happens,he was never going to let her go.she can't just leave him but the next thing that happened kept him Wondering whether Mariana's brain was still intact or Maybe she was sleep walking.Mariana took a few steps and hugged him,she was hugging him so tightly."Thank God that you are safe"she whispered.Luke was surprised with her actions, maybe she didn't see him in his wolf form like he h
Luke was taken aback,he wasn't expecting Mariana to hug him,he didn't mind her hugging him,he was beyond excited that she hugged him. Her body felt so warm and soft which comforted his soul. "Am so sorry,I was just worried about you". Mariana apologized, disengaging from the hug when she realized that she wasn't supposed to hug him. Luke frowned his face, he was not happy that she broke the hug but he did well to hide his countenance."It's no problem,"He said, yawning at the same time and it was obvious that was still drunk."What are you doing outside?""Why is your cloth covered in blood?". They asked each other at the same time, making them laugh hysterically at themselves. "Let's go inside"Mariana said, helping his unsteady movement, Luke didn't bulge,he was still drunk and that's when Mariana noticed that he was stinking of alcohol."Hey what happened to you?"She asked him."I was having a good time in the bar,I was driving to God knows where and I thought you were in dange
The next day.It was morning already, Luke woke up and found himself sleeping on the couch.he wondered how he ended up there.He tried hard to remember what had happened,he remembered being drunk and how he came back to the house when he thought Mariana was in danger but he found her to be alright.What happened next?he thought.He strode into his bedroom and the scent of his mate wafted his nostrils,he inhaled and exhaled smiling to himself but the question should be,why is her scent filled in his bathroom.Then everything that happened the other night came into his head and he also remembered the most important part,he marked her,he smiled to himself.he thanked himself for being drunk but as if realization hit him,he thought about Mariana's feelings. where is Mariana?he thought."who knows how she would feel about the whole thing?"I shouldn't have marked her"he blamed himself for everything.He checked the time and saw that it was already late in the morning.he left his room and went t
Few hours later,the maid was done with cooking,she arranged the food on the dining.she went upstairs to her room after she was done setting the dining.few hours later,she came back to the dining room to see that everything was still the same as she left it.she opened the dish and found the food untouched."What's the use of cooking when you won't touch the food"she said to no one in particular trying to pack the dishes."What are you doing?"came Luke's voice who was coming down the stairs."I want to pack everything up"the maid replied."Why?this food seemed to be untouched""I am sorry Alpha,I didn't know you wanted to eat"she apologized immediately."Where is Mariana? doesn't she want to eat?"He asked."I don't know ,alpha,I haven't seen her since the time we came back from the grocery store, maybe she is not interested in eating"the maid replied."Did you check on her?"Luke asked."No,Alpha"the maid replied."Did you ask her whether she wanted to eat or not?"Luke asked her."No,Al
"Why are you so surprised to see me?what's with the shouting?"Luke asked her."How can you ask me such a question?where are your manners?what are you doing here?she asked him but Luke didn't answer any of her question."are you here to rape me again"the questioned slipped out of her tongue.Luke's expression turned sour after he heard what she said.Mariana bit her lips,she didn't know when she said that,the question made the atmosphere to be tense,it made them to remember what happened between them.She stood there, her head bent low,her gaze was fixed on the ground,she was using her toe to draw an imaginary thing on the tiled floor.Luke cleared his throat after looking at her for a while and thinking that she might catch a cold if she stays in the bathroom for long without drying her body well."I will see you in the dining room,I have something important to discuss with you,you should dress up fast"he said leaving the bathroom with Mariana walking behind him.Mariana heaved a sigh o
