14: Bad wolf
*Luca*
While we are crossing the courtyard the wind changes and the fog starts disapparating from my brain. Most of Michala's scent is out of my nose and when I reach for the handle I am clear enough to hesitate.
I turn to apologise and send her off, but she basically jumps me, throwing herself around my neck and we tumble into the hallway. In here there is no wind to blow away that scent and her intense aroma is pulsating right into my face. The Wolf goes crazy and I lose all control of myself.
Next I know we are in an ice cold room. Even I feel the difference in the temperature.
“I can’t do anything in this cold”. Michala pulls away from me, laughing softly.

Chapter 15*Soleil*My arm falls down limp and the phone hits the floor with a hollow sound. My legs are threatening to collapse beneath me, so I sit heavily on the bed.Lefu’s voice had been as cold as dry ice. There was no seduction in it or dark humour. He was deadly serious. He was coming for me, not to turn me, but to kill.In a full on panic attack I had called Luca. He has been involved in starting all this. I didn’t think so, I just instinctively went to the one who could protect me. Too late I realised I had no story to tell him. It went all wrong and now Luca hates me too.I had tried to protect him. I see no reason to tell him

*Soleil*“I am on my way back”. Luca’s voice is uptight.“Okay did you have a good trip ?” I ask softly.“We have to talk”. He interrupts.“I know and you are right. I haven’t been completely honest. I am so sorry. I will tell you everything when I see you”. The words are streaming out without breathing, as I am scared he will cut me off and dump me over the phone.When I stop talking the only sound is the noise from Twig's car.“Luca ?”

*Lefu* "We're off". Strano's self important face appears in the door to my private rooms. Under normal circumstances, the high lord would have sent a few of his imbecile henchmen, but he probably won’t risk several more hearts served in their own sauce. “Do you really feel we have to go all the way to Italy, just so you can tell on me ?” I laugh. “What is it about me that pisses you off like that ?” “You will probably find out when we land at home. Believe me, I could not be more indifferent to you, if you were a cow, but when your lifestyle goes in and threatens mine, then I have to sacrifice my comfort”. Strano deliberately slowly
The witch and her wolf series 18: Arrival in Turin
*Lefu*The clock has passed midnight when the plane lands in Turin. After another hour of driving through the soft hills of Piedmont and endless rows of vineyards the car drives up to the Fattoria di Matelli.Although the name still refers to it as a farm, the property is now so large that it has to count as a wine castle. The main house itself is the classic square brick that is characteristic of the Italians' wineries. Over time, the yard has been given an elongated two-story east-facing extension in the same rustic brick, and a smaller wing with open glass sections is built on the western part of the main house.I have not been here for centuries, but despite the additions, the place still has the same atmosphere as when I left Italy. Here is a cal

*Luca*"That was fast. Did she throw you right out on your ass ?” Twigs looks up from his mobile."Let's just get away". I slam the car door shut. “Can we just make one more stop ? I’ll give a hotdog on the way”."Okay". Twigs shrugs. "It’s not like I have anything better to do. Where to ?""Back to the vamps farm”."The vamps … ?" Twig's face goes from curious to panicking in a split second. "No freaking way !"“I have to check something. I will go to Wales afterwards, so I need to head that way anyway&rdquo

*Luca*"Luca ?" My mother’s stunned voice sounds and her head pokes out from the kitchen as I kick my shoes off in the hallway."Hi Mom". Judging from her attitude, she had already incited herself to a round of motherly concern. I smile strained not to make her further tense."What are you doing here ?" it sounds from inside the living room. My father had probably smelled me already before I opened the door."I have something important to tell". I reply . “Do you have time ? Is Andreas at home ? ”"In da house"l my little brother's voice cut through a nauseating rhythm of hip hop.

*Luca*"Hey, can I crash with you for a few days ?""What's wrong with your own place ?" Martin leans up against the doorframe."Long story". The image of Soleil's smiling beautiful face flickers in my mind until the black - eyed satan self satisfied face, like a shadow slides in front of her golden locks. I can not suppress the wolf's low-pitched growl."Hey, where's it burning ?" Martin shifts his watchful gaze down the stairwell."There is no one. Can I come in ?”Martin moves from the door to answer and lets me into the apartment.&n
The witch and her wolf series 22: Back in school
*Soleil*First day of school, post two monster ex-boyfriends.I do not know what to expect. It is fairly clear that Lefu would not show up even if he against expectation has not left for Italy anyway. I send a silent grateful thought to Tjalfe, who despite the ban against interfering has provided cloudless skies. Then there is only Luca left. With the expression he had when he stormed out of the house, I am not fully convinced whether he can rein in the wolf. Should he go crazy at school, I will have no choice but to kill him. In my quiet mind, I hope he just wants tostay away.During the meal break, I find the usual table assigned to the outcasts. I dump down on a vacant chair and lay down, exhausted, ac
