All Chapters of Mated To Two, Marked By One : Chapter 21 - Chapter 26

Luca's PovI took it upon myself to avoid Samantha for a week. Absolutely the dumbest decision I ever made, because I didn’t just avoid her—I stalked her.Of course, I’m just watching over her. Even if no one believes that. Even if Tyler doesn’t believe that.I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks. She’s under my roof, which means she’s my responsibility. The sickness that had befallen my pack was another topic for the countless council meetings. It breaks my heart to see that I have little to no choice but to help my pack—my people.‘You are stalling. Make a decision and know what the fuck you want.’“Don’t you think I’m doing that? It’s so hard,” I said to Cillian. He doesn’t want to reject Samantha like I do. But do I really? I say I would reject her at the right time, but something just won’t let me. I walked into the dining hall and was met with my sister and Samantha seated opposite each other at the far ends of the table.Melissa had written a complete essay about how much she

Samantha’s PovDid I just clearly hear him praise me? He loves when I talk… as in really talk, and not be a pest. I couldn't help the blush that aggressively crept up my cheeks.“If you weren't such a heartless man, I would say that you just complimented me, Alpha.”He made a poor attempt to hide his smile behind a straight face. I hate that such a simple action makes my stomach twist and burn at the same time. I watched him intently, enjoying this view of his face from this angle.“You're staring,” he acknowledged.I snapped my focus back to the road. “I'm not,” I denied, and he let out a light chuckle. Goddess, I would love to hear that sound every day.“You don't try to be discreet about your actions,” he said, turning to face me, “and your face is all puffy and red from being caught.”“That’s a lie,” I argued. It was undeniably true, but I wasn’t going to admit I was embarrassed because he caught me staring. What would that say about me?I focused my attention back on the road unt

Luca's PovI couldn't avoid her. I couldn't even sleep properly without thinking about her absolutely beautiful face—or her scent. And I couldn't bear it anymore, so I arranged the date.We were supposed to sleep in, maybe even in separate rooms, but this was different. This kind of intimacy is what I crave with her. When she turned her back on me, it hurt—and somehow, I hated feeling that way.Is this how she felt when she said I shut her out every time? If it is, then I'm a fucking asshole.Fuck it. Fuck this stupid law. I held her by the waist and pulled her to me.“You didn't think I would bring you all the way here at sunset and take you back without a carriage, Vespetta?”She swallowed, and I could hear it. I could smell her too—my beautiful Vespetta had been craving me for days, and I’d been denying her what she needed.“Luca,” she whispered.“Hm, baby.” I sniffed her hair like the fucking animal I am. Her shower gel smells so good—like rose, but not the flowery kind that smell
