Chapter 51Lucianna’s POV“You’re in a daze again, Luce.”I tilted my head and saw Mual standing at my side with a huge grin on his face.I smiled wryly and sighed as Mual walked closer to where I stood. Currently, this fence beside the lake became my comfort zone. I kill my time in front of this serene scenery, thinking… just thinking.Two days ago, I managed to leave Jacob, one of the things I am not proud of being successful to do. I must’ve hurt him, I know, because I felt the pain, too. I am hurt, I am shattered by my own decision.But I have to.“I can’t help it. I have a lot in my mind, Mual.” I answered and looked at the lake in front of me once more.Mual chuckled and tapped my back twice. “You just have to trust the process, time will fly fast.”I nodded slowly.I was patiently waiting, and though I’m dying inside, I know I can proceed more. I had to wait more.“The messenger has yet to visit for so long… maybe one of these days she’ll show up.”I smiled in the air. “Don’t w

Chapter 53Lucianna’s POV“The gifted child shouldn’t have had the special eye. It was meant for the firstborn, to this man.” Fhoxia pointed at Roscoe. “But fate has its hand on the game so I was sent by the Moon Goddess to stop what fate wanted to change--which it should not.”I frowned as I listen.Technically, the shadow eye was meant for the firstborn? I didn’t know about that. I thought it was only passed by generation.“Are you saying that Roscoe should be the gifted one? To lead the pack?” I asked because the first sentence made me question their motives once more, well, not that I’m fully trusting them both.“Indeed, yes, but the feud between them brothers over the alpha position is not my point of attention.” she took a deep breath and I was reminded of the limited time she has, silently counting in the back of my head. “Please refrain from interrupting until I said all the details I had to convey. You’ll have your time for questions later.”I bit my lip, frowned, and slowly

Chapter 55Lucianna’s POV I woke up the next day and upon getting out of the room, I can hear Harley’s loud snore coming from the attic. My protector were still sleeping and I was grateful that my morning won’t be welcomed by his troubling noise. Well, his words are creating chaos in my system is what I meant.Since Mual bought some vegetables yesterday, I’ll cook them for breakfast. I have a feeling that Mual will come here to take me to the arena so there will be three tummies to feed today.Or maybe I should cook for six? Since Harley is a monster with food and well, Mual is still a man. I know they eat more than I do.I was humming as I cook when Harley woke up. The sound of his rustlings and moving was heard all over the house.“Good morning, mi Luna.” He greeted as his head popped out of the attic.“I’m cooking breakfast. You should come down, I’m almost done.” I said and Harley did as told.“Hmm! Smells great!” he complimented and peak in the pan before sitting somewhere.“Har

Chapter 57Jacob’s POVI am far from irritated. Something inside of me was swelling, and my hands are itching for violence just in order to proclaim what is mine.But I am stopping myself. So hard that my claws are dug deep in my palms.How can she kept on insisting to be close to that ‘friend’? I don’t care what he is in her life, I want her to stay away from that man!And if she can’t then I have a lot of ways for that man to be out of my sight!“Jacob!”I hissed when she called my name and my feet automatically stopped on its own.I didn’t bother to look at her, I’m agitated, and I will be more enraged if I hear another of her plea.Two small hands grasped my closed fist and that contact almost made all of my inhibitions melt. Almost.She gently urged for me to turn around, to face her. And my strength to resist is not that strong when it comes to this woman.I’m mad, but blindly smitten. There is no more denying of that.The moment I saw her face, I feel like everything around me

Chapter 59Lucianna’s POV“Are you alright?” I asked Kiara who was immobile behind me, she’s as shock as I am.I didn’t think that Jacob will come to the field and defend us, but I am grateful because my head must be shattered into pieces by Harlow’s mace.Once Kiara nods, I looked at Jacob again. His eyes are fixated at me right now and I know that those eyes are scanning me whole, looking for any damage in my body. And thank god, there’s none. Or else, his fire will be fueled.Harlow must be betrayed by her knees as she slumped down on the ground. I bet Jacob scared her and the exhaustion coming together drained what’s left with her energy.Jacob looked at Harlow again, making the latter flinch. I can tell how nervous she is. But then, Jacob only gave her a quick glance before bringing his attention to me.He walked to me this time.“Are you hurt?” he asked.I shook my head. Fast.What happened was scandalous enough and I don’t wish for Jacob to lose his control any more than this.
