His fingers that were massaging Li Na's skull stopped when the image of them with the same setting but a different place flashed at the back of his mind. The image was so vivid, like seeing his own image in the mirror that Eon pulled his hand away from the back of Li Na's head too fast like his hand was burned.
The image that was conjured in his mind, chilled him to the bones. Li Na is a stranger. There is no way she would be a part of his life in the near future. Not to mention, an Alpha like him can only have one Luna in his lifetime. And his Luna was taken away from him by the hateful cancer. His face contorted in pain, remembering his loss. He jumped up and stepped away from the couch as if Li Na was someone that could have injured him. Shame washed over his being with what he was thinking about the innocent woman—sleeping peacefully on his couch—he left his study as if a ghost was haunting him.
Li Na was blissfully unaware of what was happening to Eon because sh
She was nursing her drink, trying to clear her head from the dream that she had and the woman who gave her spiteful comments just because she came out of Eon’s office. “Is this seat taken?” She just shook her head when she heard the question. She didn’t bother to look over her shoulder to see who asked the question. Her thought was still with what the woman said about Eon. From what the woman said, Luna doesn’t seem to be a random name. ‘You are not his Luna’ the woman said. She cocked her head to the side when Larissa knocked on the wooden bar counter to catch her attention, standing in front of her. “What is a Luna?” She asked innocently. Larissa’s hand froze with Li Na’s question but she caught herself quickly because she felt the piercing stare of the man, sitting next to Li Na. She laughed softly. “You should not drink anymore if you’ve already forgotten the name of the club you are in.” “Is the name Luna special to your brother?” She pro
"How many men are you going to meet for the night?" He asked with a malicious sneer.Li Na, who was still annoyed with what that woman told her, balled her hand into a fist and hit Eon's arm. It didn't do much except hurt her but it somehow made Eon stop walking and glare at her. He had the audacity to look at her, questioningly as if he couldn't believe that she hit him.'The nerve of this man!' She thought to herself.Eon stared at her for a few beats, he stopped dragging Li Na away but he didn't let her wrist go."Stop dragging me away like your own property." She spat the words between clenched teeth."Who was that man?" He retorted with a cold tone.If Li Na wasn't already angry, she would be scared of Eon’s voice but she was as angry as him. However, she didn’t know why he was angry with the men that she was with when he was with a woman!“Why do you care?”The moment she asked the question, she re
“Father?” She tilted her head to the side watching him roar in laughter. “Yes, that’s true. I’m old enough to be your father.” He ruffled her hair, still laughing. “Take a rest, tomorrow, your new IDs with your new name will be delivered.” An easy-going smile was still plastered on his lips but his eyes were no longer laughing. They were dead serious. And that’s when she realized that Briare is not an ordinary man. She was rendered speechless and just nodded. “Goodnight, Lina.” He gave her a finger wave as he stepped backward, away from her door. She returned his smile and quickly closed her door and ran further inside the room. The unfamiliar room felt suffocating that she hastily stripped her clothes and dropped herself naked on the huge bed. She doesn’t feel sleepy at all. Her senses were in flight mode and she needed to relax to stop herself from running away. She can’t afford to keep on running. She curled herself into a fetal position under the
Li Na woke up with a throbbing headache. She rolled to her side, sniffing the air, and got disoriented. The smell of the room wasn't familiar. Her eyes snapped open and she quickly scanned the room with her hands grabbing the white blanket to her chest. Her heart was thundering on her chest with the many possibilities on why she was in a strange room. When she saw the dresser at the foot of her bed, she remembered where she was. She's no longer staying at Bel-Air. Exhaling a deep relieved breath, she dropped herself back to bed and closed her eyes. She finished the whole bottle of wine that she brought with her in the bathroom last night, hence the headache. She was about to drift off back to sleep when the hotel phone rang on her bedside table that brought her back to her senses. Cursing under her breath, she grabbed the phone and grumbled, "hello?" "Good afternoon, Miss Baptiste! Mr. Baptiste's secretary is in the lobby and she has some important documents
Eon, sitting in one of the couches in the VIP lounge on the second floor of Luna. He was keeping an eye on the patrons of the club. It's the middle of the week and the club wasn't full-packed like it usually is on the weekend. It would be easy to spot Li Na, and it's already past midnight, the time when she usually drops by, and yet, she hasn't shown her face. He knew that he went over the line with the words that he threw at her the last time they talked. He sighed, chasing away the regrets that were gnawing in his chest. [You better apologize to her!] Eon's wolf snarled at him to stop him from musing. [Shut up!] He replied angrily at his wolf. He didn't have to remind him that he had to apologize to Li Na. He wasn't able to control his temper that was fueled by his anger. Seeing Lina in the company of another man pushed him into an uncontrollable rage. He wanted to take Li Na far away from the man she was talking to. He wanted to hide her away from any othe
If Li Na didn't come back to Luna, what would he do? Last night, Eon had no answer to the question of his wolf but now, they both know what he will do. He would loiter like a loser in the lobby of Li Na's hotel. He has been sitting on one of the armchairs in the hotel lobby but he still hasn't had the courage to walk to the reception desk, ask them for Lina Baptiste's room number. He had a feeling that if she knew that he was in her hotel, she wouldn't allow him to come up. She must still be angry at him for all the nasty words that he said to her. He pulled down the newspaper that was covering his face. He's like a spy—a terrible one. With the outfit he was wearing, he stood out in the lobby. He was wearing Italian leather black boots that have been worn so many times, washed-out ripped jeans, and a black leather jacket over a white tee. Eyes were trained on him and the newspaper he was holding was his lame attempt to cover his face and hoping that people passing the lobby
During the time that Eon was loitering in the lobby of her hotel, Lina was sweating on her bed. After Vanessa left she perused on the IDs under her new name Lina Baptiste and it still felt surreal. She has so many questions that she even contemplated calling Briare at the private number that he gave her but she’s scared. She’s scared of people that could make a new identity in just a flick of a finger. She was glad that she got a new identity that she could use to hide from those who were following her. She’s grateful to Briare at the same time she feared him. She has no idea who he truly is and how influential he is. But her biggest question was, why was he helping her? Now with what Briare did to her, she no longer believes that meeting him at Luna was purely coincidental. With so many questions plugging her mind, she chose the easy way out, which was sleep. The problem was it’s difficult to fall asleep when there were a lot of things churning inside her head, thus
Lina woke up screaming with a hoarse voice. It was her third time waking up and she made sure to get up from the bed this time by slapping her face. She didn’t want to fall back asleep. She would die if she had to go through that nightmare again.When the pain of her palm hitting her cheek registered in her groggy brain, she got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. With her knees shaking, she hurried under the shower and opened the shower full blast with freezing water. She shivered and screamed the moment the cold water hit her skin. But she didn’t turn off the shower nor move from under the cascading cold water. The fear of falling asleep made her stand under the iced cold water, and when her body trembled from the cold, she twisted the faucet and changed into hot water. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from screaming. She didn’t last long under the hot shower unlike the cold one but it was enough for she is now fully awake.Panting, she
