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

Chapter 62Lucianna’s POVNick is the one who received us at the border and we didn’t complain that Aiden didn’t personally came. I can’t imagine what he is going through right now. Ashira isn’t like me, not at all. She didn’t escape like I did, she was freaking kidnapped!“How is Aiden doing?” Jacob asked Nick. Nick was seated at the back of the car and we’re on our way to the Ancestral to meet Jacob.“Bad. Real bad. There’s a couple of hole in the wall, he’s out of it. For real.”“That bad, huh.” Jacob sighed.“Yeah. And Ashira being a stealer didn’t help at all.”Jacob hissed. “She’s what?”I can feel Nick getting paled behind us. Yeah, I never told Jacob about the stealer thing going on with my friend. Jacob looked at me as if to accused me with words, “You. Knew.”“You heard me. But its a secret, you can’t tell it to anyone.”“Of course I fucking know it should be a secret! Damn it. No wonder Aiden was…” he hissed. “I’m surprised he haven’t ran there himself.” Jacob sighed. “Elon

Chapter 63Lucianna’s POV“We are so glad to have you here, Luna Lucianna.” says Seth.My eyes raised from what he said or maybe from what he called me. It was just me and Prime’s Gamma who was left in the living room since Nick has to go to the Hall. I just finished calming my friend’s nerve, Ashira is having it tough. And for two days, I think I’m too exhausted for everyone. I mean, I feel it all. Their sadness, their sacrifices, sometimes the feeling of them losing hope. And dang, I won’t even start of what emotions I absorbs from Aiden.I snorted. “Ash needed me. I should be here so no need to thank me, pup.”He chuckled. “Yeah, well, we are still glad, Luna.”“You can call me Luce or Lucy, you know. Its not like I undergo the ceremony or something.”The frown in Seth’s forehead shows utmost curiosity. “Alpha Jacob found his mate and that’s you. I don’t think ceremonies are necessary to call you Luna, and definitely not necessary while your mate won’t stop going around and telling

Chapter 64Jacob’s POV“Well, aren’t you cold to your mother…” Anabel’s usual singing voice has bitterness mixed into it.I stood up to kiss her cheeks but the pout in my mother’s lips didn’t fade.“I’m visiting you now, mother.” I remind her. “Where’s dad?”A small ‘hmp’ came out of her lips and motioned for me to sit on the couch which I did.“He’s out for a run, says he’s getting too old for it. And I’m not talking about your seldom visitation schedule to your mama, I’m talking about the luna ceremony that I only heard from Brent! How could you do that to me?”My jaw clenches upon hearing her say that. I came here to tell my mother about the ceremony and my freaking nosy-ass beta already do the job for me. Here I am, thinking that she’s pissed that I haven’t come to visit for two full weeks and yet…I sighed.“Brent did? Is he on your payroll or something?”“He is just a concerned man, that’s all.” she rolled her eyes.I bit my lip to suppress a smile. “I don’t buy that, mother.” s

Chapter 65Jacob’s POVI escorted Roscoe down the mountain and mind-linked Lucianna that we will meet her at the Prime’s guesthouse. At first, I entertained the thought that our conversation could take place at the mountain, wait for Lucianna and have the decent privacy. Not when Aiden’s guards noticed Roscoe’s presence in the pack lands. I earned a bit scolding from Aiden for trespassing his territory but he has a lot in his hands right now to come down and personally meet with us. Thankfully, he let this one go.Soft knocks from the door ended the silent eye-contact Roscoe and I have been doing. I stood up lazily and gave him one last warning look which earned a sigh from him then I headed to the door.Despite the guesthouse rooms being wolf-proof, I could feel that Lucianna was the one behind the door.‘Please tell me you are decently clothed.’ I teased our portal.A loud bang came from the door when Lucianna responded with a loud knock. I’m not even sure if it was a knock.Chuckli

Chapter 66Jacob’s POV“We all know that Roscoe lost his mate before they could even meet. The occurrence made the shadow eye transferred to you, the second born.”Lucianna goes on and explained further but my focus was divided as I questioned what just happened.I never lose my cool, I never lost to my wolf. The argument we had are not that intense for my alpha power to take over. Heck, I will never use it to Lucianna!Despite the confusion, I made sure to keep it to myself and mask the knocking feeling. My brother is here, and I hate showing any weakness or flaw when he’s around.Though god knows how much I wanted to kneel and hug Lucianna for using the alpha on her-- even unintentionally.“Hundred years ago, the same incident happened in Shadow pack. The second born got the shadow eye, the same reason you got yours. The first born is mate-less and he took revenge just how Roscoe did, and the second born died. Everyone thought the first born killed the second.” Lucianna inhaled deep
