"Do you know what they teach people like you not to do?" He asked with a dangerous smirk before staring down at his victim, who looked like he would rather be anywhere than in this cold Castillo cell. Alpha Luca plunged the knife more profoundly, which seemed to pass across his message that he doesn't like to be kept waiting. The man nodded his head rapidly, which only earned another dark chuckle from his punisher. "Use your damn words, Marco; real men speak even in death." He pushed, and Marco could barely make a statement with the way he was in pain. Alpha Luca threw his head back in laughter as he watched Marco struggling to stay alive. He loved it when his victims fought so hard to keep active, and it gave him a deep feeling of power. He knew he could do and undo, and he could end the life they were fighting to keep in seconds. That was the beauty of it. Marco took excruciating breaths, and they were starting to look like his last, and Alpha Luca decided to make everything eas
1 year later."Cassie, are you ready?" Romeo called, taking another glance at this wrist watch. He would never understand what it was about women and preparing. One would expect Cassie to be different because she wasn't a modern woman, but the following months after they had defeated Pete, the two went on to get married and Romeo had taken Cassie to Earth for their honeymoon. He had taken her to all the beautiful places, and to try out all the amazing foods, one thing Cassie had also picked up was the fashion sense of the women of the twenty-first century.At first she had expressed her strong dislike for it, as long as her shock. She would always call every woman she saw in dresses that revealed their cleavage, shoes that showed their ankles, or dresses above knee-length a prostitute, Romeo had to teach her not to call women that, letting her know that time had changed and fashion sense had also. Though, she still called it nonsense most of the time, Romeo could see her slowly taking
Alpha Luca still lay on the same bed, while the witches performed the ritual, with Ryan by his side. She had refused to leave his side. She sat down on the bed beside him, holding his hands. The witches had tried to get her to leave several times, but she refused.The others have gone to wait outside the room, waiting for good news, nothing else but good news.Cara frowned as she watched the Queen, who was holding Alpha Luca's free arm while muttering a spell under her breath, she could see the look on the Queen's face, she didn't need to ask before she knew there was no improvement. Cara didn't understand why it was so difficult to bring him back, they have done the spell several times in the last hundred years, it was one of the first spells that every teenage witch would learn once she got into high school, but if the Queen herself couldn't do it, then Cara didn't think any other person could."Well, isn't this just great," a friend of hers whispered in her ears. "From one problem
"What are we going to do? We can't just sit and watch her die," Alpha Luca said. "Come on," he faced Cara. "Surely there's something you can do, try again.""We've tried...If Pete was alive, we would have been able to do something, but now that he's dead. It's...I don't know. We'll see what we can do, we will try our best.""You have to, s-she can't die.""She won't die, Luca," Alpha Romeo said, placing a comforting arm on his friend's shoulder. "I'm sure we'll find a way, even if we have to turn the world upside down to find a cure for her, we will. Okay?""Yes," Cara assured him. "We will try our best." They were able to talk Alpha Luca into leaving the room so he could give them the privacy they needed to perform the ritual. Ryan was laying on her back, staring straight up at the ceiling, she was the only one in the room at that moment. She could hear voices talking just outside the door, she couldn't recognize them, so she knew it was probably the witches. She couldn't hear the w
"I'm going to rip your heart out and kill you at this spot today! No going back!" Alpha Luca shouted, glaring at Pete, who lay on the floor in a pool of his blood. He was still alive, but he was in serious pain and he had lost a lot of blood due to the way Alpha Luca had pounced on him.He was about to do what he had just said, when he suddenly stopped, as soon as he heard what Pete just said. He tried so much to not believe it, hoping it wasn't true. He was not ready to lose Ryan, not now, not ever and the thought of her dying scared him a lot. Yet, he couldn't just believe the rogue before him, as he could only be trying to blackmail him into not killing him."What did you just say?" Alpha Luca asked Pete, making sure that he heard what he said right."I said no, you won't! You can't kill me! Because by killing me, you're only going to kill Ryan!" He blurted out as he spat out the blood at Alpha Luca's cloth. This irritated Luca so much, which pushed him to hit Pete's stomach with h
"Well, well, well," Pete said with a mischievous smile as he stood up from the chair he was sitting on. "If it isn't the dangerous trio, Lord Valentine, Lord Romeo and the one who betrayed me, Alpha Luca." He said the last part and giggled, as he stared daggers at Alpha Luca."Betrayed you?" Alpha Luca said and folded his arms. "I betrayed you, or it was you who betrayed me?"Pete acted like he didn't hear what he said, so he just walked around his chair slowly as he stared at the trio, who were about five feet away and were also staring at him. "I had a feeling you would find me sooner, but it was a shame. I was disappointed that you didn't. I guess you three are getting old after all," he said and chuckled, trying to trigger them to get angry or something. Meanwhile, the trio just stood there staring at him. They were still shocked to see him alive, most especially Lord Valentine. Seeing that they didn't say anything still, he continued. "You three were a bit slower than I thought.
Flashback.Hera returned to Alpha Luca's mansion drunk and weary. A party was thrown in the human world and she had gone there to have her fill, together with her brother and Lord Valentine. Alpha Luca was the one who suggested they grace the event since there were less interesting things to do at that time in their realm, so they went to the party and Hera got drunk.Hera left the event without Alpha Luca and Lord Valentine's notice. She managed to find her way back home even though she was in a terrible state.When she returned to the mansion, she was greeted by its emptiness and unknown to her, Pete was in the building. She made her way to her brother's room and fell on the couch and after some minutes, she staggered to the bathroom and turned on the shower.Pete had arrived that night earlier than Hera and had parked his car in Luca's garage after completing an assignment. He went into the house and when he walked upstairs, he heard the sound of water flowing from the shower. He t
As soon as the doors of the escape room closed, they realized they had only gotten themselves into more trouble, seeing that there was no way out of it. First, they shouted, but it was only echoing inside the room. Their voices could not reach outside."What is this we have gotten ourselves into?" Lord Valentine asked as they all wandered inside the room. He hit his leg on the walls of the room, but nothing came out of it."Fuck!" Alpha Luca growled as he hit his leg on the walls of the room in anger. Still, nothing moved and nothing changed."Uhm, guys?" Advika called, a look of fear appeared on her face. They didn't give her attention at first, as they were focused on how to leave the room they found themselves in. "Guys!" She exclaimed the second time and with the loudness of her voice, they were able to hear this time, as they turned to look at her."Yes, Advika?" Hera answered, same with the others.This time, she even looked more worried, and she was beginning to look pale with
"Now that you guys are cool with each other, can you both share a hug," Eric screamed from afar."Shut up." They both chorused.Hera and Advika had finally reconciled with their argument and Eric couldn't help but sigh in relief.The ladies were beginning to drive him crazy with their uncontrollable banter funny how he wasn't even in the know of what was bringing about the argument.They continued their walk with the human they didn't kill tailing with them. They rounded a corner and saw the dangerous trio coming toward them.They stopped and waited for them to catch up with them."Any progress, " Hera asked when they got to where they were."Nothing yet." Lord Romeo replied."We have also not found anything," Advika said.They had also not found the underground realm, they were beginning to be weary with their walks in a circle.Lord Valentine saw the human with them and was puzzled."Who is this?" He asked."We found him on our way here, we took him with us so he can lead us to thei
