"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
Ryan walked into the dining room and the emptiness glared at her. Breakfast was set on the round table but no one was there except for Freddie who was at a corner. It was Sunday and every Sunday, she had breakfast with Alpha Luca. Where could he be? Ryan wondered and pulled out a chair. She sat and kept looking around but didn't catch a glimpse of the alpha. "Excuse me!" She called the attention of Freddie, the chef who was walking away from the dining room. "Where is the boss?" she demanded from the chef. "He's in his chamber." replied Freddie. "Alpha Luca requested that his breakfast be brought to him in his chamber that morning." he added. "What?" blurted Ryan. The chef nodded and left the spot. Ryan uncovered the plates before her and began serving herself. While she was eating alone, she wondered whether Alpha Luca was avoiding her. She barely saw him since the kissing incident and they hardly spoke aside from
"I must do something else I'll end back with those monsters." Cassie told herself and continued pacing to and fro. She was breathing heavily but regularly. She felt hopeless. She can't go back to her abductors no matter what and there was no way she could escape from the witches. She was between the devil and the deep blue sea. She hasn't learned how to use her powers yet. When Romeo tried to teach her how to harness them, she disagreed stating that she never wanted the powers in the first place. The witch that brought her had placed her in a private room and after eavesdropping on them earlier, Cassie knew the sooner she gets out of that room, the better for her. She went to her closed door and began knocking from the inside. "I need to talk to Cara." she kept screaming while banging at the door. She heard the twisting of a key inside the hole and the door was pushed open. Cara walked into the room and stood by the door. Cass
