Ace De Luca Novels & Stories

he slammed the heel of his leather-clad palm on the steering wheel with a snarl. "What are you talking about." Ace fished out his phone, used the facial reconstruction to unlock it, and then handed it to me. It was already opened to a video that began playing. I recognized the setting immediately. It was another frat party in the same house I had been in. Red and blue solo cups were strewn across the cream carpets that held unknown stains — I didn't even want to know what those stains were.

I turned around, and it was Luca. "Sorry I didn't knock," he said, realising he had scared me. He gave me an envelope. I took it and felt a card in it. "I had my beta open an account for you. Use the card to get money from the atm or shop anywhere. There is no limit on it but be wise about it," he said, smiling at me. He pulled me in a hug, and I felt him take in my scent. It was awkward. I could feel his reluctance to leave, but I did not say anything. I could be reading it all wrong. I breathed a bit, and he scented Hazel and Sandalwood. What were the odds he would smell the same as the field Declan took me to in my dream?

Amaya goes on to tell me everything "Luca was mated to Lucinda’s daughter, Madrid. She’s half-wolf, half-witch. I guess that’s why the Moon Goddess paired her with him. But Madrid rejected Luca so fast, he collapsed on the spot." My brows furrowed in confusion "Why did she reject him?"

“Why? Did he hurt you?” “No,” I admitted quickly. “But he makes everything awkward.” From behind us, Leonardo walked past without reacting at all. Luca sighed while straightening up. “Leo’s actually a good person, Ave. He just…” He paused thoughtfully. “Doesn’t know how to act like a human being...emotionally. You know...like how normal people do.” “I heard that,” Leonardo muttered flatly while entering the house but Luca ignored him expertly. I stepped inside behind them and immediately got hit by the rich smell of food coming from the kitchen.

But I press on, "She's alive, for now, but if you want to see her again, you will do exactly as I say" He laughs, slow and unamused "Is that so?" I quickly hang up before he could say anything. Else, my heart would explode. Did I sound convincing? He must be panicking or maybe gone mad with rage, tearing the city apart to get his hands on me. He is Lorenzo De Luca, the king of the underworld, no one dared flex a muscle in New York without his knowledge. Although he has so many enemies but no one would be crazy enough to cross him,

The once blue sky had suddenly turned red as blood. Hello guys, The Lycan Academy is coming to an end. Thank you for your much needed support so far. Really appreciate it.

No wonder I wasn’t wanted or taken seriously. “Your mate, Luca DeLuca. He has been a fool. He has been selfish and stupid, his choices have affected you deeply. More deeper than he could ever have anticipated.” She shook her head in disappointment. “You must not let his ignorance destroy you, you have power inside you. Believe in it.”

It was just heat and noise and escape. And then chaos. The music didn’t stop, but the energy shifted like someone sucked the oxygen out of the room. A presence. A familiar, infuriating presence. “Adrien.” My blood turned to ice. I pulled back, breath unsteady, and turned. Luca. He stood a few feet away, drenched in rain like some wrathful god dragged straight out of a storm. His shirt clung to his chest, hair slicked back, eyes locked on the man beside me with a murderous glint that made people instinctively step back.

He held it up to the harsh vanity lights, inspecting the clear, viscous liquid inside. "It’s just perfume!" Sienna shrieked, recovering her balance and lunging toward him. "Give it back!" Luca swatted her away with his free hand. He unscrewed the silver cap slightly. The acrid, burning smell of industrial acid instantly leaked into the cold air. Luca froze. The color completely drained from his face. He looked at the bottle, then up at Sienna. The horrifying, absolute reality of the girl standing in front of him finally crashed through his arrogant delusions.
