Luca's Pov

Fuck!

Fuck fuck fuckity absolute fuck!!

I slammed my fist on the steering wheel repeatedly.

Alex Young had something to do with Blue wagon. Allegedly. That had to be a lie. A lie to keep me on a leash. Another leash in case the Dara angle wasn't strong enough. Despicable but Moreau wasn't above pulling stomps like that.

Except, Alex was being followed and Moreau wasn't behind that. Which would mean a rival faction was. Which would in turn mean Moreau was telling the fucking truth. I hadn't been crazy during the surveillance mission. I'd heard the word Young. Alex Young.

Shit!

I didn't return home immediately. I couldn't. I found myself in a bar instead. I didn't like alcohol and there was a time in my life I wouldn't be caught dead in a bar. But here I was at midday, attempting to drink my troubles away.

I couldn't. I stared at the glass for what seemed like hours but didn't take a single sip. Elias called and then sent a text message but I didn't pick up o

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   153. Wishful Thinking.

    Alex's Pov Stay angry Alex. Be strong. I mentally told myself but Matt was making silly puppy dog eyes at me and it was getting pretty hard to keep the giggles in. “You were being an ass. And we said no secrets. Matter of fact, you did. Those were your words, remember?" He blew out a breath, "And I know.” He walked to the foot of my bed where he sat. “I also said we needed to trust each other more than anyone else.” “Trust has nothing to do with…” "It does.” He gazed up at me with sincerity shining in his eyes, "I'm not doing anything wrong, I need you to trust that." I sighed and sat beside him, “Nothing wrong and nothing illegal?” “Well..." He began and then smirked at the disbelief on my face, “I'm just messing with you. Nothing illegal. I promise." He laughed and poked my arm. “Still not gonna tell me who that guy was." “He's not important." He scooted closer and drew his face to my neck, “This is important. Us." The kiss was gentle. Followed by another. “I to

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   152. The Ass Who ‘Loved’ Me.

    Alex's Pov His hands flew around as he gestured widely. Seeing Matthew flustered was new. And a little jarring. He was usually so composed and in control of things. The boy he was talking to on the other hand seemed pretty unfazed. His shoulders sagged with the arrogance of an over confident and nonchalant adolescent. He spotted me first and said something to Matt who turned. I waved at them and he gave a tiny wave back. They exchanged a few quick words and the other guy hurriedly sauntered away before I could get to them. Odd. “Hey you." I said and watched as Matt put on a smile with great effort. “Hi. Fancy running into you here." He chuckled nervously. “You knew I was going to be here. I told you mum was having me pick up some flowers for Mrs Ingram's funeral.” I raised a brow. "Oh, right. Must've forgotten.” Matthew never forgot. It was one of the reasons I adored him. I could tell him the most random or mundane things I had planned and he would remember all of

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   151. Off Grid.

    Alex's Pov I had no idea when sleep came. When Luca tapped me awake, my muscles felt like lead and there was a low throbbing just between my eyes. We'd stopped in what looked like an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere. I had no idea what the time was, only that it was still dark out. I stepped out of the car, wincing as my legs protested the sudden movement. Luca watched me closely. “You okay?" He asked gruffly.I nodded and he turned to face the man I hadn't noticed earlier. Maybe because he was dressed in all black and blended in with the darkness and the sleek black Ford SUV behind him. The man looked at me with mild interest as he handed the keys over. “No trace." Luca said to him. “Copy." I got a jolt of surprise as I realized what they were talking about. “Can't we just return it? Come on man, the poor guy might not be able to afford another car anytime soon.” I looked from Luca to the other guy whose interest had gone from mild to amused. “He was

    Luca’s pov “WHAT THE FUCK “ Alex screamed. Grabbing at the window sill to gaze open mouthed at his phone smashed on the tarmac in the distance. “What the hell did you do that for?!" "Holding onto it is risky. Don't wanna get tracked.” I shrugged. "Tra….it wasn't tracked. It's new!" He groaned in despair. “And we'll get you a new one, but that one's been compromised." “You don't know that for certain." He moaned mournfully. “Yes I do,’’ I growled at him through the rearview mirror. "Whoever sent you that document has access to your IP address and consequently, your live location." "You want to get rid of it. Get rid of the evidence.” Alex yelled in indignation. "Get rid of… I'm trying to protect you, Alex. Don't you fucking see that?!" I yelled back. “Who were they? If you really want to protect me you'll tell me the whole truth!” "I don't know who they are yet. But we're going to find out.” I gritted out. "We? There's no we, Luca. I want nothing to do with you." H

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   149. On The Run Again.

    Alex's Pov Luca raised a brow at me and then looked around him pointedly. All around us, excited and shocked chatter rose as passengers narrated their near death experience to one another. Some stared at us but mostly Luca thanks to the bulge under his shirt that was clearly a gun. He wasn't wearing a jacket. He must've left the apartment in a hurry. “You followed me." I said to him, my voice low so no one else could hear. “I knew you were in trouble." He replied. “How?" My voice was heavy with suspicion and he narrowed his eyes at me. “Because I wasn't born yesterday. I know how shit like this works." “Cause you've done it yourself, huh?" I couldn't keep the bitter sarcasm out of my voice. He glowered at me but said nothing. I was certain we would have stormed away from each other if the train wasn't so cramped. I could barely turn to the side as it was. I had no idea where the train was heading and I was sure neither did Luca. I hated having to put my life in his ha

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   148. Denial.

    Alex’s Pov Silence. Heavy. Cloying. I could hear my own heartbeat raging in my ears. And I was sure I could hear his. His eyes, blue, piercing, they held me in place. I stared back, unable to look away. I needed to see, needed to make sure. To make sure this was just another lie. It wasn't. He was not lying. Not this time. And I knew that because….. Because the words were an echo of the pull in my chest every time I saw him. Every time he looked at me. Every time he fucked me. “No." Denial. Safer. He said nothing back. As though the admittance of those words had erased his ability to speak another word ever again. “No." My arm stung where he had held me earlier. Tried to stop me leaving. He always tried to stop me from leaving. He said nothing still. Not with his mouth, but with his eyes, he said everything. All the words I'd longed to hear. All the words I'd yearned to say back. But not this way. Not like this. Not now. Not with what I knew now. Knowing who he was. W
