Chapter 49Jacob’s POV“How is she?”I asked Cidrey to come in my house and report to me directly from here. There is no way I’d want to leave this place. Going out and losing Lucianna’s scent, terrifies me.So now, we are here at my home office to discuss how his tracking task of Lucianna came about.“She is well, Alpha Jacob. Currently, she’s staying at--”“Stop.” I held my hand up and sigh. “Remember to never mention the place she resides during this discussion.”Because I might break my promise and follow her. Lucianna won’t like that, I know.Cidrey, the Head of Trackers, looked confused.“Just for this discussion, Alpha Jacob?”“No. Not until I asked.” I said with a hiss.Somehow, talking with someone who know my mate’s whereabouts makes me itch and uneasy but I tried my best not to ask.Cidrey nodded slowly.“Okay. Uh, L-Luna Lucianna has settled at--I mean--she settled well. And f-for the bed, I think… the size is enough for her.”“How enough is it? How many people may lay on

Chapter 50Jacob’s POV“I shouldn’t be surprised seeing you here too soon, right?” I sighed while my eyes are on my Beta. Brent came back with papers on his hands as he stands in front of my house.“Well, I was surprised you sensed my presence.” Brent answered. “And I hope you’ll let me in like how Cidrey managed to.”I shook my head. There is nothing to hide with Brent anyways, maybe Harley has been tailing me from afar.In defeat, I opened my door wide for him. Brent walked closer and I turned my back to head on my office first. He followed and closed the door after entering inside the room.I sat on my chair before grabbing a glass of liquor, this had been my snack these days.“You’re growing a forest in that face, Jake.” Brent noticed.My head is too occupied to shave my beard and also I just don’t care about it.“Does that files needed my signature?” I diverted the topic and pointing on what he have in hand.“Oh. Yeah.” he placed it on my table and I started to scan through it th

Chapter 51Lucianna’s POV“You’re in a daze again, Luce.”I tilted my head and saw Mual standing at my side with a huge grin on his face.I smiled wryly and sighed as Mual walked closer to where I stood. Currently, this fence beside the lake became my comfort zone. I kill my time in front of this serene scenery, thinking… just thinking.Two days ago, I managed to leave Jacob, one of the things I am not proud of being successful to do. I must’ve hurt him, I know, because I felt the pain, too. I am hurt, I am shattered by my own decision.But I have to.“I can’t help it. I have a lot in my mind, Mual.” I answered and looked at the lake in front of me once more.Mual chuckled and tapped my back twice. “You just have to trust the process, time will fly fast.”I nodded slowly.I was patiently waiting, and though I’m dying inside, I know I can proceed more. I had to wait more.“The messenger has yet to visit for so long… maybe one of these days she’ll show up.”I smiled in the air. “Don’t w

Chapter 52Lucianna’s POVI jumped back in a breath and Fhoxia turned around, slowly walking back beside Roscoe.Did she say that I will be my mate’s death?“What the fuck, Roscoe?!” I exclaimed in a controlled scream. Are they trying to fuck up my head? Manipulate me? What?! “If you are trying to use me to have your revenge, try using a different way than this obvious stage play!”Fhoxia turned to face me this time that made my eyes divert to her for a second. When she seems to be still, I looked at Roscoe again and raised a brow to his ‘tired’ look.What? Is pretending to be a victim from the same kind of judgment a part of his game?“Lucianna, look at Fhoxia.” he started. I didn’t listen to him and my focus remained at him which made him sigh. “Fhoxia is not a living thing. The reason that she looks like this and speak like that is because she is but a soul sent from the Moon.”“Stop making stories, you fucker!”How can that be true?! I can see Fhoxia, she is real, she might not ha

Chapter 53Lucianna’s POV“The gifted child shouldn’t have had the special eye. It was meant for the firstborn, to this man.” Fhoxia pointed at Roscoe. “But fate has its hand on the game so I was sent by the Moon Goddess to stop what fate wanted to change--which it should not.”I frowned as I listen.Technically, the shadow eye was meant for the firstborn? I didn’t know about that. I thought it was only passed by generation.“Are you saying that Roscoe should be the gifted one? To lead the pack?” I asked because the first sentence made me question their motives once more, well, not that I’m fully trusting them both.“Indeed, yes, but the feud between them brothers over the alpha position is not my point of attention.” she took a deep breath and I was reminded of the limited time she has, silently counting in the back of my head. “Please refrain from interrupting until I said all the details I had to convey. You’ll have your time for questions later.”I bit my lip, frowned, and slowly

Chapter 54Jacob’s POVI eyed two she-wolves standing right in front of me. One is tall, I guess she’s the same height as I am. The other is a bit small but muscular than the former.“Just two?” I asked Brent who’s fidgeting beside me. He cleared his throat and I took my eyes off the two woman with bowed head.“Yes, Alpha Jacob. These two are volunteers.”“Hmm.” I nodded. “Lift your heads up, please, ladies.”The two females looked sideways and I can tell from their shadows of how nervous they were.I sighed that made them stood straight immediately. Oh.“Names?”“Kiara.” The tall female said.“Chew.” said the other.“The both of you wants to join the tournament? Is this willing?” I asked and eyed Brent who scratched the back of his head.I have to make sure that Brent didn’t force them in this. The face of our pack is also at stake, but first it is important to ensure their safety.The two of them nodded fast.“Okay. Then I expect that you were sent instructions as to prepare for the

Chapter 55Lucianna’s POV I woke up the next day and upon getting out of the room, I can hear Harley’s loud snore coming from the attic. My protector were still sleeping and I was grateful that my morning won’t be welcomed by his troubling noise. Well, his words are creating chaos in my system is what I meant.Since Mual bought some vegetables yesterday, I’ll cook them for breakfast. I have a feeling that Mual will come here to take me to the arena so there will be three tummies to feed today.Or maybe I should cook for six? Since Harley is a monster with food and well, Mual is still a man. I know they eat more than I do.I was humming as I cook when Harley woke up. The sound of his rustlings and moving was heard all over the house.“Good morning, mi Luna.” He greeted as his head popped out of the attic.“I’m cooking breakfast. You should come down, I’m almost done.” I said and Harley did as told.“Hmm! Smells great!” he complimented and peak in the pan before sitting somewhere.“Har

Chapter 56Lucianna’s POVI swear that from the moment I sensed Jacob, my breath was uneven and my nerves were unease. I tried my best to act normal, trying to remember what Harley told me. To act like I don’t know Jacob would be coming.And its so fucking hard to do. I can sense him from mile away!‘Don’t forget to act surprise.’ Harley reminded me and I groaned as I closed my eyes for a second.‘Shut up.’He’s rather well behave, huh, thanking God he didn’t bothered me after. Only to figure out why and its because in front of us is my mate, striding closer to us with a poker face but softened eyes.My eyes widened when I saw Jacob walking towards me. I don’t even have to act, huh? The moment I saw him, I was far from surprise. I’m nervous! But from the way Harley exhaled in relief, I must’ve looked surprised.I looked around and try to look for anyone who I might know so I could divert my steps away from Jacob as to avoid him but everyone was new faces.There’s no way out, and I rea
