The Luna's Prey Chapter 31: Same Book, Different Pages
(Luther)I WOKE up when I felt a soft hand on my cheek. When I opened my eyes, I saw Alexandra sleeping beside me on the grass in the backyard. When I glanced at my wristwatch, it was almost eleven in the evening. She really did stay.For others, this woman was my poison. And maybe she truly was my poison the same way she was my cure. Only this woman could build me up, break me, and then build me again. Tonight, because she was beside me, I was able to breathe just fine. The whole time without her felt like there was something stuck in my chest that I couldn’t get out.Things don’t magically become okay just because we are with the ones we love. That bullshit only happens in movies, in books. But I realized that somehow, with Alexandra around, things become a lot less painful, they become… endurable.And how I wished my mother was able to feel something like this too when she was still alive. But from the day she fell in love until her last breath, love just remained a poison to her.
The Luna's Prey Chapter 32: I Like It When You're Bad
(Alexandra)THE SOUND of my ringtone woke me up. I was still yawning when I opened my eyes only to be surprised when I found out that it was past six in the morning already. I think I woke up twice, but my body still felt too heavy that I couldn’t force myself to move.Or maybe it was because of Luther’s scent in the room that I was able to sleep comfortably again. He arrived in the room at four and when he saw me awake, he said that he could take a nap now that there was Suzanna who could replace him downstairs. Then he pulled me close as he slept and without knowing, I fell asleep again.I found my phone on the bedside table. The call was from Clay. Luther had also woken up from the sound although he remained lying on the bed as he held my free hand.“How are things there? As for the pack, the new wolf didn’t let anyone here get even a wink of sleep last night. It's morning now, but he hadn’t shifted back to his human form yet,” he stated.“So, it’s about Giovanni,” I said and turne
The Luna's Prey Chapter 33: Kiss You
“I WARNED you, but you didn’t listen and asked for this,” I told the guy who looked like victory was in his hands already just because he had bullets laced with aconite. Before he could shoot, I was already in front of him. I grabbed his head, my fingers dug into his skull as I slammed my other hand into his ribs. I heard his ribs crack as he fell on the ground and winced from pain.I pulled the next guy toward me. I drove my knee into his groin and thrust forward with my hips. I only released him when he fainted as I quickly moved to another guy. My fist went straight onto his throat and crushed his windpipe. I pulled out the knife under my skirt and threw it onto the fourth guy’s neck. Luther dealt with the remaining four men and fired them at their knees and shoulders.“I didn’t even have to shift to beat your ass. Who do you think you are for me to shift just for you?” I told the first guy when I walked toward him. Gone was his confidence. He had gotten so pale.“I’m sorry-““It’s
The Luna's Prey Chapter 34: His Angels and Demons
AS I looked into Luther’s eyes, my emotions ran wild. My breathing rate sped up. At the same time, there was a pang of nervousness surging inside me. What is this? It was not like it will be our first time kissing each other. “Right now?” I stuttered and inwardly cursed myself for it. He smiled. This time, it reached his eyes. And when I saw that, I felt the blood rushing into my cheeks, making me feel flustered when I shouldn’t have. Kissing was just a small touch between the lips. No big deal. “Yes, wife,” he answered while stroking my left cheek. “Right now. May I?” I snorted. “It’s not like you asked for permission when you kissed me before.” “Then I will not ask for permission again. For future reference, my darling wife, this is how your husband wants to be comforted,” Luther said before he tilted his head. He grabbed the back of my head and locked his lips with mine. As soon as I felt his warm and soft lips, his emotions flooded into me: resentment, anguish, and longing. R
The Luna's Prey Chapter 35: Burn
“IS SOMETHING wrong?” I asked Suzanna when I caught her wiping her tears after she saw me wearing the red strapless long gown she delivered to me. I applied a light make-up on my face and tied my hair with a gold clip which was included in the box Luther had sent for me. I only left a few curly strands on my face.The only thing left to do now was to wear the four-inch red stilettos.“Forgive me, ma’am. I’m just happy that you’re here, that when something so terrible happened to the Boss’ family, you were with him. He listens to you. And you could stop him from caving into the darkness. When we talked a while ago, he told me that his safety pin is right by his side so he couldn’t allow himself to shatter,” Suzanna explained. “The Boss never smiles. If ever he does, I could tell that he was only faking it. But with you, no matter how heartbreaking the situation is, he could still give a real smile. You changed him.”“How can you be sure that it’s because of me when you told me that Lut
The Luna's Prey Chapter 36: King and Queen of Lies
(Luther)IF THERE was one thing that I learned through our nine-day marriage, it was the fact that Alexandra was a chronic liar. She lies all the freaking time. She lies about her feelings most especially. When she says that she doesn’t like one thing, it was the opposite.I knew because she was like a reflection of my own self. We were getting closer now. Still, when she said she would take me down, if I was not too quick to see her lies through her eyes, there was a chance I would believe that she would really do that since whatever feeling she holds in her eyes could vanish in a split second.It was always a race. If a person next to her was too slow, he wouldn’t be able to catch on.Come to think of it. We are the king and queen of lies. But I stopped lying when I lived with her. She started lying when she lived with me. With Alexandra, I always have to be fast, to be careful so there would be no more room for misunderstanding. There were rare moments when she allowed her guard d
The Luna's Prey Chapter 37: You Are Next
(Alexandra)“I DO NOT remember inviting you here,” Senator Guerrero told Luther as he blocked our path when we were in the hallway. His guards all stood behind him while pointing us their guns.The guests who were supposed to head inside the function room all stopped to watch the drama.Luther shrugged. “And here I thought my invitation just got lost somewhere that’s why I invited myself and my wife, too, thinking that you would be happy to see me. You are hurting my feelings, Senator. Are you sure you can afford to do this, though?” He smoothened the Senator’s collar. “If you insist on pointing your weapons toward me and insulting me in front of my wife, then you’d give me no choice but to play rough as well. I let my beloved Alexandra come with me after she made a promise never to tell a word about this auction to any wolf. She also promised to buy all the wolves in whatever price you offer. They have the money. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose, Senator. Think wisely.
The Luna's Prey Chapter 38: The Prodigal Son
LUTHER grimaced. “Just what kind of husband do you see me as? I didn’t marry you only to kill you, Mrs. Sinclair.” I raised my chin. I knew that this man was capable of hurting me, but he wouldn’t do that. I am sure of that now. Still, I went on because I found his reactions funny. “Then why did you marry me, Mr. Sinclair?” “To protect you. You are always the one protecting others, Alexandra. As strong as you may be, you still need someone to protect you, too, and to just be there for you when life gets unbearable. I… could be that person if you will have me.” My heart went into overdrive. Right now, I was relieved that Luther was different, that he couldn't hear my heartbeat the way I could hear his. Otherwise, he would have teased me about it. He cleared his throat when he didn’t get a reply from me. “By the way, I don’t believe that Anthony is the last wolf they have tonight. When my team scouted the area, they saw a black door. And apparently, it would lead to the basement alt
