Luca With The Lid Off Novels & Stories

Standing up, Luca smoothed down the creases in his shirt. Unconvinced, Cornelia rounded the desk to stand beside him. "Then why do you look so bizarre? You've tucked out and you had your buttons opened when I came inside." She turned to Skylar with a pitying, questioning look. "Dear, what is happening to him?" Avoiding his mother's eyes, Luca begun rearranging a stack of papers. "Uh, I was just..." "He has cummingitis, Cornelia." Skylar improvised quickly. It was all she could do not to burst out laughing at their priceless expressions.

Luca scans the walls like he’s memorizing every camera and every blind spot. I keep my eyes sharp, as my heart pounds so loud it makes my ears ring. We’re not just fighting for Alex anymore. We’re fighting for everyone this formula could help and for the people who died protecting it. When the elevator dings open, Luca steps inside, then turns to me. “Stay by the loading docks. You’ll have visual through the window. Keep your head down.” “I’m not helpless, you know.” “I know,” he says. “That’s what scares me.”

"It's classifiеd, Sеlеnе. You'll undеrstand whеn thе timе is right." I rollеd my еyеs, frustration bubbling within mе. "Classifiеd? Comе on, you can't еxpеct mе to givе my all without knowing what I'm gеtting into." Luca, always quick with a jokе, intеrjеctеd, "Maybе it's a top-sеcrеt mission to rеscuе a kidnappеd sandwich. You nеvеr know."

The air was tense, every second stretching into eternity. --- The Chamber Opens Aiden pressed a hand on the panel. With a hiss of hydraulics, it slid open. A spiral of blue light emerged, illuminating the chamber beneath. It wasn’t a room. It was… a machine. A containment unit. Tubes, wires, and energy conduits crisscrossed like a nest of snakes. And in the centre… Luca. But not exactly Luca. Inside a translucent pod, suspended in liquid, was a younger version of him—or something like him. His chest rose and fell with mechanical precision, veins glowing faintly with electricity. Wires were connected to his spine, his limbs floating weightless.

I swallow hard at the sight. Luca reaches for the biggest of the three, and rips his shirt off. The huge guy’s belly sticks out once his shirt is ripped off. Luca wraps the fabric over his right arm. He inches towards the hot coal, and pulls the metal rod out. He waves it in the air, advertising the pointy, flaming red tip. “W-what is that?” I stutter in fear. “This.” He jerks it towards me, making me flinch. “This is to explain to you what the connection between you and Sin is.”

Their first stop was to notify Luca’s teachers that he was back before heading upstairs to the boy’s private room. Luca hesitated with the keys to his room and looked at his soulmates. “I’ve… n-never shown anyone this room before,” he said shyly, “least not in a long time.” With Jedidiah and Williams’s reassuring smiles he opened the door and let them in. “Dude,” exclaimed Liam as he entered the room, “where’d you get this recording equipment?” He walked over to Luca’s desk and pocked at the microphone that stood beside it and the laptop on the desk.

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.

I should tell him what he said to me in NYC. "Mate, remember when I had accused you of when we were at NYC?" "Yeah?" Maybe tomorrow is better to tell him. "N-nothing. " "You sure?" "Yeah. Good night." "Good night. I love you." "I love you too." And we both fell asleep on each other's arms. Tomorrow shall be the first day I'm Luna. . . . . . I fell on my back. "Well well well. Look who we have here. A runaway cat." I kept my eyes shut. Unwilling to see the horrible reality awaiting me when I open my eyes.

Caroline, a she-wolf who has been considered a monster since she was a child, can she break the tragedy spell and find her MATE?

“I should be the one asking you that. The soup was to strengthen you not to make you fall sick.” “The mushrooms. I was allergic to the mushrooms in the soup.” “Oh… sorry. Next time, I will ensure there are no mushrooms.” “Really? Next time? Just cut to the chase Lucian, what happened last night at the meeting, and what do you want?” I probed further, and he grinned as he leaned closer to me, placing his elbow on the door frame. His eyes held mine, and his lips twitched as he kept inching closer. “I saw your speech Selena, it saved me at the meeting and gave me the upper hand over Kaiden.” He replied, and I almost sighed in relief to hear that he had won the first step.
