Luka's pov
"It's a boy"
My heart welled up in joy at the words the love of my life spoke happily. It's a boy.
He'd been born. And by the look on her face, he was okay too.
"That's great! " I exclaimed as everyone else in the hallway processed the information.
Caleb and Ashley's baby was finally in the world. And despite the long agonizing hours that Ashley have been in labour, it was all forgotten.
She had gone into labour earlier than she was intended to, and so she faced complications. She's been at the hospital for the past two days, and my wonderful Victoria has been with her every step of the way.

I watched as they threw the first shovel of dirt on the box that confined my love. âDonât cry. Donât cry. Donât cry.â The continuous chanting in my head never stopped.It didnât help the tears that stung my eyes either, betraying every word I had been saying to myself since this horrific day started.It also didnât help that my wolf hasnât stopped whimpering since I got here, after being dormant for days since Ella died.I canât blame him for hurting. He felt the mate bond stronger than me, but I needed him these past two weeks. He was my only strength.Someoneâs hand on my shoulder brought me out of my thoughts, and I turned around to see my little sister looking at me with sorrow filled eyes.âDonât cry, Luka. Itâll be okay soon, I promise.â
*Lukaâs pov* -One year later- âLuka, dude, get your ass out of bed!â I groaned as Caleb tried to get me out of bed for the umpteenth time today. I grabbed a pillow and chucked it in his direction, hitting him square in the face. A small smile took over my lips as he huffed in annoyance. âCome on, man. Iâm taking you out of town to have some fun. You need it,â He said, and I knew damn well that heâd be back if I didnât oblige. Sighing, I gave in to his plea and reluctantly left the bed. I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes at his behavior after he shot me a victorious smile.
Victoriaâs pov *Earlier that same day as the previous chapter* âCan I get that doughnut now, please?â I shouted in frustration at my co-workers in the kitchen. This poor boy has been here for over five minutes, and all he wanted was a stupid doughnut that Kera was taking too long to give me. I huffed, seeing that Iâd have to get it myself. Waiting on her was too much for my impatience. âGive me a minute, sweetheart. Iâll be right back,â I told him softly, stunned at his immense patience. Smiling, he gave me a simple nod while I headed to the kitchen to get the doughnut for the little cutie. âHereâs that doughnut,â someone said the minute I turned around, taking me off guard.
Victoriaâs povâNO!â I shouted as I dived, sliding on my chest just in time to catch his hand.I blew out a breath once my grip was firm around his wrist, but I already felt the bruise forming on my chest. After bracing myself, I grabbed him with my other free hand so I didnât slide off the cliff with him. I peered over the edge at him, seeing that he was unconscious. That explained why he was heavier and quieter than I expected. He must have hit his head when I grabbed his hand. With a huff, I dragged him up over the edge, ignoring the shock of pain that ran through my chest.Yep, itâs bruised.After successfully pulling him onto flat land, I laid beside him to catch my breath. I felt like I ran a marathon. But, I didnât mind, knowing I saved Luka. I glanced at him, seeing how peaceful he looked in his unconscious state.âWell, what now?â, I thought as I hoisted myself up on my elbows to get a better look at him. I pondered on whether to take him to the hospital, but unlike any sane
Victoriaâs pov A ringing sound pulled me from my melodious slumber. I groaned as I threw the pillow over my head to block out the noise, but to my demise, it continued to sound through the room. I assumed it was my alarm, so I made a mental note to get rid of the annoying thing. Forcing my eyes open, I grabbed my phone to shut it up, but I was stunned that it was only 12:30 a.m. Confusion dawned on me, and I rubbed the sleep from my eyes to check again, but the time remained unchanged. But if it was still night, my alarm wouldnât have rung off. The sound boomed through the house again, and thatâs when I realised it was the doorbell. Who the hellâŚ? I climbed out of bed and wobbled over to the bedroom door, trying to get my feet awake. A yelp of surprise escaped my lips when a tired-looking Luka appeared before me. He resembled a five-year-old who had a nightmare and came to sleep with his parents. Awe. âWhat is it, Luka?â I asked in a baby voice, smiling. He looked confused,
Victoriaâs pov Remember when I said that I loved a challenge? Well, I take it back. This challenge has been more complicated than I initially thought, and I was losing hope. It has been two weeks since my first encounter with Luka, and I havenât seen him since. I assumed he was simply avoiding me. We exchanged text messages now and then, but it was mostly âHi. How are you? Goodnightâ texts. I tried calling him a few times, but it either went to voicemail, or he would answer, talk for two minutes, and then give an excuse to hang up. I hate appearing like a pushy, annoying female, so I gave it a test. I asked him to meet me at Winterâs Park today at 4 in the afternoon. He didnât answer my message, but I knew he had received it. If he comes, Iâll have a little chat with him and see if we should continue this âfriendshipâ because it feels one-sided. If he doesnât come, Iâll just forget everything and move on with the bit of dignity I have left. I bobbed my head to the song on the ra
Victoriaâs pov âLuka?â Heâs here. A part of me was relieved, but another part was pissed. Pissed that he took so long to come, in addition to the anger towards my shitty ex-boyfriend. He chose the wrong time to come. âWhat is it with you men and your terrible late timing?â I asked, turning towards him. He wasnât in the best mood. âYeah, sorry about that. I got carried away in my thoughts,â Luka mumbled as he scratched his neck. I simply stared at him in disbelief. Thatâs his excuse? âOkay,â I simply said before making my way to my cotton candy. âOkay?â âYes, okay, Luka.â I stopped to face him. âIf you donât want to be friends, itâs okay. You donât have to pity and try to force a friendship you obviously donât want.â I wanted to get to learn more about him and maybe help him. But you canât bring the horse to the water only to force him to drink. Or how ever that saying goes. He sighed again before explaining. âItâs not that I donât want to be friends, Victoria. I just canât. It
