"Who's this Luca?" Catherine asked, her mind swirling with worry.Luca smiled, a knowing grin that softened the tension in the room. "You won't believe this, Catherine," he said, his voice light and teasing.I felt a surge of curiosity and nervousness. Luca was always calm, but this...this felt different."It's my father's friend," he began, his voice taking on a serious tone. "Since I was little, both he and my dad taught me everything I know. They raised me, made me who I am today."I watched as Luca’s eyes grew misty, emotion tugging at the edges of his usually controlled demeanor. He pulled the man standing before us into a warm embrace, holding him like he hadn’t seen him in years. My own unease began to dissipate, but a question lingered in the back of my mind: Why now?The man had a presence that was hard to describe. He radiated authority, and yet there was something guarded, even suspicious, about him. His sharp gaze flicked to me. I didn't know what to do, so I managed a sma

"Hello, Cathrin."His voice slithered through the air like poison, sending an icy chill down my spine. He stood across from us, his form cloaked in shadows, but his presence felt like a tangible weight pressing against me. "What do you want?" I shot back, forcing myself to meet his gaze. My heart pounded in my chest, the blood rushing to my ears so loudly I could barely hear my own words. But I couldn't show fear. Not now. Not with Luca beside me, too weak to fight.The man laughed, his voice dripping with cold amusement. The sound was sharp, cutting through the air like a blade. "Nothing much," he said, his lips curling into a cruel grin that sent a shudder down my spine. "Just your life."The words hung in the air, sinking deep into my chest. My life.Luca, who had been beside me, stirred. His breathing was labored, and I could feel his body trembling from exhaustion. He shouldn’t have been standing, let alone preparing to fight. Still, he pushed himself up, using every last bit o

Crack! The sound echoed through the clearing as Luca’s bones snapped and reshaped, forcing him back into his human form. His transformation complete, he collapsed to the ground, his body trembling, drained of strength. The sight was gut-wrenching—his once powerful form now reduced to weakness.Damian, however, stood tall. The air around him thickened with menace as he rose to his full height, towering over me with that same malicious grin stretching across his face. He had always looked at me this way, like a predator who enjoyed toying with his prey."Surprised?" His voice dripped with mockery. "I guess you’re not the only Null Wolf around here, huh?" His words hung in the air, taunting me, daring me to react.I clenched my fists at my sides, every muscle in my body tensing with fury. My vision blurred at the edges as anger surged through me. I had no words, only rage—pure, seething rage. Without thinking, I began walking toward him, each step deliberate, each movement a promise of v

"Luca! Oh my word, I thought you were dead!" Catherine's voice trembled, filled with a mixture of relief and fear as she knelt beside him. Her hands shook as she reached for his face, her fingers brushing lightly against his cold skin. It was hard to believe he was still alive after everything that had happened."I thought I was dead too," Luca whispered, his voice weak and raspy. He tried to sit up, but his body protested with waves of pain. "I was so weak… Dennis' betrayal made me weaker. I couldn't fight back… I couldn’t do anything." He shook his head, his expression clouded with anger and confusion. "I was in shock, Catherine. My uncle… my father's friend… he stabbed me." His words came out slowly, as if he were still processing the events, the disbelief etched on his face.Catherine’s heart ached for him. She had seen betrayal before, but not like this. Not someone as close as family. "I was shocked too," she said quietly, her eyes flickering with a mix of sympathy and regret. "

“Lower, lower, lower,” Luca commanded, his voice firm, echoing slightly in the open space of the training ground. The early morning air was cool, but beads of sweat dripped from Cathrine’s brow as she strained to maintain the awkward position Luca had her in.“How much lower do you want me to go, Luca?” she groaned, her legs shaking under the strain. “I can’t squat any lower than this! It feels so strange.”Luca chuckled, amused by her discomfort. “Strange but helpful,” he said, circling her like a predator observing its prey. “This will help increase your stamina.”Cathrine’s thighs burned, her muscles screaming for relief. She had been holding the squat for what felt like hours. Exhaustion weighed on her, and the burning sensation in her legs was becoming unbearable. “I think my stamina is strong enough,” she panted. “Please, Luca… Can I stand up now?” Her voice was laced with desperation.Luca smirked, shaking his head slightly. He enjoyed pushing her to her limits. “Alright, lazy
