Alpha Luca couldn't stop thinking about this Mr P. It was all that has been in his mind since the previous night. It had consumed all of his thoughts that there wasn't even any space for him to ponder about his feelings for Ryan. He needed to discuss this with someone, he picked his phone and texted Lord Romeo and Lord Valentine, asking if they could come over. It's been days since they all sat down to talk, and with everything that has been going on, he feel they needed to keep each other updated.Alpha Luca also knew he had to keep alert. First, they had gone for Romeo, then Valentine and they couldn't remember what had been done to them at that point. He would have expected them to come for him, but no signs yet. He wanted to think to himself that they wouldn't be able to get him, not in a million years if he tried, but then he remembered how powerful Romeo and Valentine was, and how these men were still able to get them, so he couldn't relax yet. But now, Alpha Luca was thinking t
Cassie was tired of staying at the witches realm, she has been there for just two days already and she was starting to miss Romeo like crazy. She wished she had come with her, but Cara had explained that why Romeo was a friend, the witches are not that welcoming to males, especially now that they are in a crisis of trying to get their Queen back.Cassie had hoped that Cara would be able to keep her company, talk to her and make her feel less bored since Cassie couldn't even leave the palace to roam the town, she stayed in her room all day, except when she was called for food. Cara has been very busy since the day they arrived and hasn't had the space or time to chat. She was tired, so she decided she was going to give herself a tour of the palace that day and kill the boredom. Cassie had been hoping that she would just be spending a day with the witches, but from the way things were going, she was afraid she would be spending at least a week with them. She wore her slippers and walk
"Excuse me?" Hera said, dropping the bottle of wine in her hand on the floor of the car. The lights were on, so she was able to see Advika's face. Although, it was almost midnight and everywhere outside was dark already, she didn't mind the lights of her car being on, despite knowing it might cause suspicion if a guard from her brother's mansion saw it. "You came all the way here in the middle of the night to tell me to stay away from your man? Really?" She added and scoffed at her. "Your man?" She stressed that sentence again as she used her hands to form an invisible quotation mark."I don't care whatever you say, Hera. But I am warning you, stay away from Valentine." Advika said to her, facing her squarely. "Do you even hear yourself, Advika? Can you listen to yourself? You stooped so low and came all the way to confront me over someone that doesn't even want to be yours? Someone that doesn't want to be with you?" Hera asked and giggled at the thought of what she just said. She fo
The next morning, Hera barges into Alpha Luca's room without knocking. As she walked in, Alpha Luca growled at the sight of her. He already knew she was the only one who was capable of doing that since she knew his password."What is it again this early morning, Hera?" Alpha Luca asked, not looking at her as she walked in. "What do you want from me this morning? I'm quite busy as you can see, and I don't want any form of disturbance." "And who told you I'm in the mood for wasting my time disturbing you this morning either?" Hera replied as soon as she got to the front of his table. Her hands were folded as she gave him a scornful stare.Alpha Luca rolled his eyes and dropped the paper in his hand, then raised his head to face his sister. "What is it then, Hera?""Stop speaking to me as if all I do is frustrate you. I barely even frustrate you these days, you know?" Hera said."I noticed too." Alpha Luca started. "Is there a man keeping you busy now?""What, no!" She retorted and hit
Alpha Luca, all dressed up and on his way out sighted Ryan on her way out too. He stares at her from head to toe, and he was able to conclude that with the way she was dressed, she was going on a date. As he thought about that, he felt the urge to call her back and ask her where she was going, but he fought the urge. Instead, he stepped back and decided to stay out of sight so she wouldn't see her. Then, he'd see what she was going to do and who she was going out with. Although he knew who it would be already, he just wanted to confirm his thoughts.As soon as she headed out and walked to her car, he followed her, unknown to her that she was being followed. When she got to the car, the door of the driver's side opened and Eric stepped out of it."My lady," he bowed politely as he took her hand. This gesture made Ryan burst into laughter as she blushed at what he did."But she hasn't ever laughed like that while with me!" Alpha Luca muttered to himself as he stared at them from where h
"Alpha Luca," Eric called and bowed his head a little as a sign of respect for Alpha Luca. He was pissed that he interrupted him when they were about to kiss, but he acted like he wasn't and tried to maintain his anger. If he vented, nothing good would come out of it since Alpha Luca is his boss."You need to hurry back home." Alpha Luca started. He had thought of every possible thing to use to interrupt them, and that seemed like the only thing that could work. "You need to hurry home now.""Why?" Eric asked with raised eyebrows."Hera just called me and said there was an emergency. I wanted to ask her for details but I couldn't reach her as soon as she hung up." Alpha Luca said and cleared his throat at his lies. "You need to hurry home now. I'll meet you there in a couple of minutes.""But..." His voice trailed off as he turned to look at Ryan who just stood there staring at both of them. Then, he sighed. "Ryan, I'm so sorry. I want to stay, but I can't—""I understand, Eric. You c
Ryan couldn't stop the tears welling up in her eyes from streaming down her cheeks. When Alpha Luca screamed at her a moment ago, he used his authoritative Alpha voice to keep her shut. The tears began to flow ceaselessly and Alpha Luca noticed it after he took a second to look at her. He said nothing but kept on driving. Alpha Luca kept driving while Ryan sobbed. She wasn't willing to stay quiet anymore. She decided to speak to him and doesn't care about the aftermath. She felt her feelings were hurt by him and he was showing no sign of empathy. "I hate you." she blurted with tears streaming down her cheeks. The tears got into her mouth and she tasted its saltiness. Alpha Luca nearly brought the car to a halt after Ryan declared her hatred towards him. He dismissed her declaration as a mere utterance triggered by emotions and continued driving. Alpha Luca had always believed that women were emotional creatures who use tears to derive symp
Alpha Luca drove into his base and parked his car in the garage. He looked at Ryan momentarily and the Alpha stepped out as if he was being pursued. Ryan smiled and finally stepped out of the car after staying for a while. She headed to her room smiling from ear to ear. Ryan made her way to her room. She stood outside and fondled her doorknob while biting her lower lip before opening the door. She walked into her room, took off her shoes and fell on the bed with her back after flinging her shoes under her bed. She giggled and opened her eyes immediately after shutting them. She smiled and began tracing her lips with her fingers. Ryan licked her lips. She was thinking about her recent kiss incident with Alpha Luca in his car. "Why did it take this long?" she muttered to herself and smiled. Why did the kiss take so long to occur? she wondered. She sat up and placed her back on the wall. She couldn't stop smiling while recollecting her kissing
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
When they succeeded in dispelling the dark spirits they'd invoked, the witches fell weakly to the floor.Cassie had also fallen unconscious. Some of the witches outside of the coven who'd been patiently waiting for the success of the ritual heard the thuds and rushed in.They picked each of their sisters and took them back to their rooms, they tended to them throughout the day until they regained their strengths.Cassie was also taken back to her room, she was unconscious for the greater part of the day, she woke up in the evening.She opened her eyes in her room, looked around, and saw she was surrounded by Cara, the witch leader, and two other witches. Cara and the twenty-three other witches regained their strengths and had taken turns in watching after Cassie for the first sign of recovery.It was Cara and the leader's turn with the two other witches when Cassie woke up.She yawned weakly and sat up on the bed."Cara, what's going on?" She was surprised to see them in her room.S
