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
Chapter 57Jacob’s POVI am far from irritated. Something inside of me was swelling, and my hands are itching for violence just in order to proclaim what is mine.But I am stopping myself. So hard that my claws are dug deep in my palms.How can she kept on insisting to be close to that ‘friend’? I don’t care what he is in her life, I want her to stay away from that man!And if she can’t then I have a lot of ways for that man to be out of my sight!“Jacob!”I hissed when she called my name and my feet automatically stopped on its own.I didn’t bother to look at her, I’m agitated, and I will be more enraged if I hear another of her plea.Two small hands grasped my closed fist and that contact almost made all of my inhibitions melt. Almost.She gently urged for me to turn around, to face her. And my strength to resist is not that strong when it comes to this woman.I’m mad, but blindly smitten. There is no more denying of that.The moment I saw her face, I feel like everything around me
Chapter 58Jacob’s POV“Are you two okay? How’s your talk with her?” Brent pried after he assists Chew and Kiara in the registration table.“Mind your business, beta.” I groaned.My eyes never once left Lucianna ever since she moved a step away from me. I’ve watched her interact with people and continuously mesmerized by her. She was serious in lecturing her co-female fighters, lively while with acquaintances and powerful as she stands alone when no one approaches her.I think I know why she has no friends back at her pack. It was not because she was orphaned, nor pitiful. Those people were intimidated because she managed to live and stand even though she was alone.And those who denied her were idiots.I was one of them. Was.But my advantage is I had the chance to know her, find out her real character, and be by her side. I planned the latter to remain until my last breath.“She won’t be participating the fight. Did you know?”“Yeah. Too bad. I’m looking forward to watch her fight d
Chapter 59Lucianna’s POV“Are you alright?” I asked Kiara who was immobile behind me, she’s as shock as I am.I didn’t think that Jacob will come to the field and defend us, but I am grateful because my head must be shattered into pieces by Harlow’s mace.Once Kiara nods, I looked at Jacob again. His eyes are fixated at me right now and I know that those eyes are scanning me whole, looking for any damage in my body. And thank god, there’s none. Or else, his fire will be fueled.Harlow must be betrayed by her knees as she slumped down on the ground. I bet Jacob scared her and the exhaustion coming together drained what’s left with her energy.Jacob looked at Harlow again, making the latter flinch. I can tell how nervous she is. But then, Jacob only gave her a quick glance before bringing his attention to me.He walked to me this time.“Are you hurt?” he asked.I shook my head. Fast.What happened was scandalous enough and I don’t wish for Jacob to lose his control any more than this.
Chapter 60Lucianna’s POVJacob drove in silence. He just followed the directions I’m pointing to, and my hand is the only one to communicate because I am as silent as him.I know what he wanted. I know what words he wanted his mouth to utter and I know, he is trying his best not to say it.Jacob wants me to be with him, to stay with him and to go with him.To Shadow pack.To home.Now.And I think the only thing which stopping him to drag me away from this land is because I wanted to go back to Mual’s.“There. The brown house in the middle.” I finally said, and he finally looked at me after an almost ten-minute drive.There was no expression in his face and I think its because of our bond, or maybe its because I’ve known him enough that I can interpret his emotions.Just by looking at his eyes. And the feeling is no longer weird to meThe car stopped. My eyes are still looking upfront but my senses are heightened for him.I can feel Jacob’s every move as if I’m looking right at him.
Chapter 61Jacob’s POVI’ve been dying to kiss her and the feeling of her lips into mine is pure heaven. I felt all my inhibitions and fears flew just by the taste of her.I feel her. She’s with me. I didn’t lose her.Lucianna responded with the same intensity. I feel it, she misses me as much as I do and knowing this is too much of a feeling.Her hand went to my nape, his fingers dug in my skin and her chest came closer to mine.I know, baby. I know. I want you, too.My arms embraced her, snaking at her waist, my hands on her back and my lips trembling in the mind-blowing kiss.Before I could deepen the kiss even more, Lucianna pushes her palms on my chest. I was caught off guard that I let it happen, gaining back the bit lost of balance.What’s wrong? Why did she… damn it.“I…I can’t.” she breathed, covering her lips with the back of her palm. She stood up and walked away, heading for what seems to be the kitchen.I followed her, not in a rush, ever slowly. Careful.My nose flared a
