Chapter 30Lucianna’s POVOur mates went to the Prime pack building to do their thing. Ashira invites me to her room and I figured that Ash must be sleeping with Aiden on another room. Her scent is so faint inside it.“My God! Your mate is so sweet! Scary but sweet.” I sighed dreamily. “I’m envious!”Ashira continued to look at me the same way she does when I’m hiding something. This person is the only one who can read me clear.“I hate that Jacob, Luce. What did he do to you? The last time you called, you’re crying your lungs out!”My mind was quickly reminded of what has happened before and the way I looked so distressed, hopeless.“Just like I said, he cheated on me…”I continued telling my ‘unfortunate’ becoming and Ashira listened attentively. I can see the hate plastering in her expression and from her side comments.Somehow, having someone to talk about what I experienced lightened my chest but also added fuel to the fire upon remembering all of it.“Last time we talked, you sa

Chapter 31Jacob’s POVLucianna did not bother to look at me even when I softened, giving in to her request. I let her leave without my third-in-command. That was enough to drive me insane, doubt what’s coming , but I managed to stay calm.The three of them, Ashira, Seth and Lucianna was walking towards the forest right now. I can still see them using my enhanced sight, but it won’t be long until I lose her.The sight of her, I mean.Heck, I won’t lose her.I won’t allow it. Never.Fuck, why am I battling with myself?“Is that forest safe?” I asked Aiden who’s standing beside me without bothering to look at him.“Yeah.”“How about that spot of yours?”“It is safe.”“Are you sure there’s no one there?”Aiden took long to answer so I turned to look at him. His brow were arched as he looks at me with a lazy expression.“I’m sure. That’s the place I only share with my mate, brother.”I sighed.Lucianna and I haven’t completed the mating process. I want to, but knowing that she wanted to r

Chapter 32Lucianna’s POVMy whole body didn’t stop trembling, the thought of losing my friend because of my stubbornness scares me.It’s almost an hour that passed and there’s still no sign of Ashira. I helped looking for her but there’s no sign of her presence. No scent, no tracks, nothing.Jacob didn’t talked to me about it. He was also busy looking for Ashira, just like the rest of us.One thing that kept me shaking was Aiden’s deadly glares at me that I can’t even look at him. I knew he blames me for it, no one might be asking but I know everyone thinks the same.That I am the mastermind of all of it.That I was trying to escape because there’s no reason for us to go at the border.Seth’s jaw kept clenching when he looks my way, and I knew perfectly why. I accepts their silent anger, their silent way of blaming me.No one talks about it, no one blamed me vocally. But that hurts more.And I’m drowning with the feeling.“Ashira was found!”I was quick to stood up, everyone has, too

Chapter 33Brent’s POV“What are you saying, Jake? Let go of Lucianna?”I must be hearing things.The two of them might have started messy but I know how Jacob got connected with Lucianna. It’s beyond the bond, and he starts to live getting used of her around.And letting her go? What’s gotten into him this time?“I’m thinking…” Jacob paused and I (im)patiently waited for more words.Jacob was looking at the darkness, his expression was unreadable because of the lack of light from where he were facing.I sighed when I heard nothing more.“Jacob, explain it to me, please. What’s with letting her go?”“That’s what I just said.” he hissed and I saw him shook his head a bit, as if he can’t believe his own words.If Jacob is really trying to set Lucianna free, does that mean he will let her out of his hold? Out of his control? Out of his land? Out of his pack? Out of his life? What?Clearing my throat, I decided to start giving answers and stopped questioning him.“Without your mate, you’l

Chapter 34Lucianna’s POVMy eyes widened with Ashira’s revelation.She’s a what?!A stealer?!I never met a stealer, heck, I don’t even know that kind really exist!Every wolf is destined only for one. I keep saying that to myself, and I never forget that part. A stealer, on the other hand can produce an offspring, a pup, even from someone who is not their mate.That’s… complicated, I guess.I watched my friend as she slouched and her eyes loomed, sadness coiling around her.“...I’m scared.” Ashira closed her eyes and I know how hard she tries not to get in tears. “I’m scared that I’ll lose him because of what I am, Luce.”Aiden’s history, the death of his parents, all of those are because of a certain stealer as Ashira said.I understand Ashira’s fears. Her situation is still complicated in my head but I understand her worries.Sighing, I pulled her for an embrace and hoped that should comfort her somehow.“Ash, past is past fro a reason. You can’t let it taunt your present and mess

Chapter 35Lucianna’s POVI spent the night crying inside Jacob’s arms until I passed out. Confusion is how I can define the feelings I have right now.It’s… how can I say this…There’s a part of me that was relieved that I can finally escape him. But I’m not sure where the sadness inside me were coming from.It’s as if, only half of me wants to go and that I only had the chance to realize it now that he’s setting me free.Did I liked the chase? Did it disappoint me that he won’t look after me? Or was it the mate bond’s feelings? Was it mine?What is the root of the pain in my chest?I’m aching, all over.I’m not sure if its because of him or myself. Too much question was circling in my head that I don’t know which part should I focus on.Waking up, I sniffed the most intoxicating scent of the man laying beside me. Is he already awake? I’m afraid to move… what? Why? Am I scared that he will go away once he’s awoke?Damn it.“Good morning.”I almost jumped out of bed when he whispered.

Chapter 36Brent’s POVWe arrived at the Shadow pack and I can’t stop watching Jacob and Lucianna as they walked out of the car.Jacob looked annoyed, continually frowning but there’s a ghost of smile in his lips while Lucianna was grinning wide behind him. They are walking towards their house now.The both of them is too bright that everyone will tell something good has happened.I shook my head. I can’t believe these two.“We’ll head back to the Hall now, Alpha Jacob.” said Shink, the head of the guards. We came with him and Cidrey, the head of the trackers.I was walking closer to Jacob and glanced at Lucianna who seems to forgot something inside the car.“Alright. Meeting will be held tomorrow, resume your works for today.”Shink bowed and started to walk away.I rolled my eyes upon what I heard. Well, there’s no extension for the ‘vacation’ we had, huh.“Jake.” I called his attention and he tilted his head, not taking his eyes off his mate who’s half of the body was inside the ca

Chapter 37Jacob’s POVAfter my heated scene with Lucianna, I went straight to the pack hall with a raging hard-on in between my pants.My attraction towards Lucianna grows much greater than before ever since I let go of my useless pride and accepted my defeat in domination.It’s becoming a problem for me because the control I had gained has melted, and its not a good move to be swayed by my sexual urges now that I’ve decided to let her go.I might end up forcing myself to her and I don’t want that though I badly desire to do it with her.Setting that aside, another threat will be coming anytime soon.“Any sign of his arrival at any of the borders?”Roscoe…My older brother, the true heir of the alpha title, the first born. I can’t believe it has been nine years since he was banned in our packland by father.“There’s none, Jake.” Brent answered. “Do you think he’ll cause trouble?”Exhaling, I tried to calm myself. I’m not scared of my brother, of any evil things he did, I’m not. But I
