All Chapters of Feral Hearts: Pucked By The Alphas: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CHAPTER 62SANTIAGO SOMETHING LIKE HOPE The moment she mentioned Callie's name, she had my attention. I turned, my eyebrows raised in a mixture of confusion and irritation. Looking at her now, I wondered why we were ever friends in the first place.I studied her face carefully, looking for cracks, something along the lines of fear, satisfaction and lies. These things always left traces if you knew where to look.“Say that again,” I said quietly, taking just a step closer to where she stood.Bodly, and with a smile on her face, she took a step closer, clearly enjoying this. “I said I have something that can ruin her. Completely. One move, and everything she’s ever worked or stood for? Gone.”I crossed my arms, forcing myself to stay calm. Try a mixture of annoyance and irritation, then you'd understand how I feel at the moment. “Coming from you, if you actually had anything on Callie, you wouldn’t be standing here talking. You’d already have used it.”Her eyes flickered and I saw ex

CHAPTER 64MARCOCRACKS IN THE FOUNDATION“Someone who wants your father dead.”The words didn’t echo and they didn’t need to. They settled heavily and deliberately right in the center of my chest. I stared hard at Travis, as if looking hard enough would make him laugh and say it was a joke. But Travis had never been a man of jokes. He was all silence with sharp edges, a weapon my father trusted. .After all, weapons don't think, they only obey. Except apparently, this weapon was beginning to think..“You don’t get to say something like that and expect me to just nod,” I said slowly, shrugging my shoulders for emphasis. “So start talking… do it carefully.”Travis gave a long and tired exhale like he had been holding the breath for a long time. “You shouldn't be here, Marco.” Of course, he'll try to downplay it. “That’s funny,” I shot back. “Because I was about to say the same thing to you.”His mouth twitched as I fixed my gaze on him. He glared at me from under his lashes like he

CHAPTER 66MARCO THE WEIGHT OF BLOODI didn't know if to be happy or relieved that this wasn't about my father anymore and I had every justifiable reason to want to watch him burn.The whole thing still clung to me even long after I left Travis behind in the lab, sinking into my bones with every step I took away from the sterile corridor. The doors sealed shut behind me in a mechanical hiss as I walked on. Thankfully, I didn't run into my father like I thought I would. I didn’t slow down or bothered to look back. That was rule number one when dealing with Alessandro De Luca’s world: never look like you're hesitating. Any moment of hesitation could place you under his scrutiny. I walked by a glass building and my reflection flashed briefly in the glass panels lining its walls and I took a look at myself. I was nothing like the man I had groomed myself to be when I ran away from my father. This version of me had a sharp jaw, calm eyes, a composed posture and the perfect son to my fat

CHAPTER 68MARCOTHE SOUND OF HER VOICEAt first, when that guard walked in and mentioned a girl refusing to leave then putting Callie's name to the unknown girl’s face, I thought the universe was playing some kind of stupid prank on me by bringing someone with the same name. But the moment I walked into the living room, to see MY Callie staring back at me, my heart shifted from the left side of my chest to the right. I couldn't fucking believe it. How the hell did she find me? Why is she here? And why is she here alone?I watched her converse with my father, completely dumbstruck and unable to say anything. I just stared and tried to regulate my heartbeat. Then she said those words that snapped me out of my reverie and made the world stop the second she said it. “I’m not leaving here until you come with me, reject me… or until you kill me.”The words slammed into my chest like a physical blow and knocked the air from my lungs. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe, where I was o

CHAPTER 70MARCOWHEN THE DEVIL TIGHTENS HIS GRIPThat did not just happen…The sound of her footsteps disappearing down the hallway was louder than the gunshots I’d grown up to hear, getting louder and disrupting my senses. Each step echoed like a countdown inside my skull: Five. Four. Three…. And by the time the door slammed somewhere down the east wing corridor, something inside me cracked so violently I gladly welcomed the pain.I didn't even give myself the time to think or reason about the consequences of my actions, I lunged.“MARCO.”Travis caught me hard around the chest before his voice fully registered in my brain, slamming me back before I could take more than two steps. My shoulder collided with the edge of a marble pillar and pain exploded down the arm, but it was nothing compared to the raging flame ripping through my chest.“Let me go,” I snarled, my wolf surging to the surface so fast and dangerously, my vision blurred. “Let. Me. Fucking. Go.”But Travis did everythin
