Present... Angela woke up with a heavy pounding on her head. She groaned and lay on the bed, trying to recall last night. Her head felt so freaking heavy. She rarely drank but last night she wanted to feel free and enjoy herself. That was why she drank. She wondered who dropped her home. Probably Maeve and Milo. She snuggled more into the pillow feeling her body relax. Blinking her eyes, she glanced at the clock and groaned in annoyance. She had classes in the afternoon. She groggily sat up on the bed and stared at nothingness, a bit dazed. Her head was throbbing badly, she hated this pain but still, she liked to drink once in a while. Angela stared down at her clothes. "Jesus, how did I even sleep in this?" She mumbled to herself, staring down at the dress. Pulling to her feet she winced because of the headache. Angela shimmied out of the dress and laid out her clothes on the bed. She was roaming in her room butt naked. Pouring herself some water she chu

Present... His hand reached out. Luca grabbed her throat in a tight hold and jerked her closer. Her fragile hands landed on his chest as she tried to pull back. Her eyes snapped up to meet his dark gaze as flecks of copper swirled in his grey hues. "Let go," she said. Angela grabbed his hand trying to free herself, but his hold was firm and a bit painful. "Why did you hit me?" He growled at her face causing her to flinch. Her heartbeat quickened and fear began to pool in the bottom of her belly as she tried to regulate her breathing. "Answer me," He roared when she stayed mum. Her bottom lip quivered as she looked up staring into his eyes. "B... Because you insulted me," She tried to tell him. "Am I lying?" He gritted. Tears gathered in her eyes as she tried to free herself from his hold. "D... Don't make me punch you again. Let me go-" Her lips parted, and a soundless gasp left her lips when Luca dived down and bit her neck. Hard. Her eyes widened, feelin

Present... Angela sat on the window couch, hugging her knees to her chest as she gazed at the moon. She couldn't sleep. She tried to but failed miserably because her mind was occupied by the person who was turning her life upside down despite all her efforts to keep distance between them. Touching her lips she felt their swelling. It wasn't just a kiss. He was eating her alive. A shudder scraped the back of her neck recalling his rough hands, those hungry lips, his touch. Angela was scared. Kissing him in her drunk state was a completely different thing from what he had done to her earlier. Her legs were frozen, and they refused to budge from there as fear consumed her. She tried to fight him amidst the fear enveloping her heart, but it was too much. The feeling, the heat, the moment. It was difficult for her to stop herself, despite all her efforts she couldn't help but respond to the kiss. The thing she never thought she'd do in her wildest of dreams. Angela kn

Present... Harrison's eyes widened for a second as they snapped to Angela in surprise. She breathed in deeply, nodding her head. "Harrison, meet Luca. He's my bodyguard for now," she said, donning a courteous smile. Harrison walked over to Luca and held his hand out. Luca glared at his hand before meeting his gaze. He deliberately got to his feet to intimidate Harrison, but Harrison was as tall as him. Luca shook his hand firmly using strength, but Harrison didn't flinch or show any signs of pain except for his lips sealed in a thin line. "I'm Harrison Walker, thanks for protecting her. I can take care of her now, so don't worry," Harrison said calmly. Luca's eyes darkened. "I'll be right here, don't mind me," Luca said in a clipped tone not liking how Harrison gave him an innuendo to go and leave Angela with him. "Very well," Harrison said and came to sit opposite Angela. They went through the menu card as a waiter approached them to take their orders. They gave th

Present... "Yeah, Angela's fine. Everything's under control here. Did you find that girl?" Luca was talking on the phone with Hunter. "Not yet, we are still looking. I believe she left the pack house that night when you smelled her. Because for the past year, you didn't find her," Hunter said as Luca rubbed his forehead. "Okay," Luca dropped the call when a soft sweet scent wafted through the air, and his head snapped to the stairs, and he stilled seeing her descending the stairs donning a green dress that complimented her eyes. She looked so elegantly beautiful that he had to force his eyes away from her. The fact that he kissed her last night didn't help either. He asked where she was going and when she told him about the blind date, he felt dozens of needles prickling his skin, but he didn't show emotion. Instead, he offered to take her there. During the ride, he couldn't help but inhale her scent. It was faint but it was too f*cking sweet to the point that it was aff
