CRYTSINA’S POV I was confined to the solitude of my room for hours and this was not done by anyone other than myself. I was still furious about what Mellissa had said to me and I was angrier at myself for allowing her words to get to me. I’m a Luna, I’m supposed to be a role model to the pack, a good example, and not just a woman who disgraces herself by fighting like a loser in front of the whole pack.“We did the right thing, Star,” Kris urged me. I wished she could actually see me glaring at her right now. I’m furious at myself but I’m mad at her.“Shut up, Kris. You caused this,” I gritted my teeth. This was the reason why I kept her out of my head for so many years especially when I was in high school. She loses control way too fast and that causes problems for me.“I did the right thing. That girl didn’t have the right to covet our mate. She didn’t have the right to say those cruel mean words to us, we did nothing to deserve that,”“Yes, we didn’t deserve those words but you s
CRYSTINA’S POV Even though Luka had said he would ground me for not telling him about what had happened between Mellissa and me, nothing happened. I can’t say if he actually told the guards or maids to not let me out of the house because I didn’t make any attempt to leave myself. Kris had been on edge since the day we fought Mellissa and she wasn’t in the best mood to be among people. It might be dangerous that way. I only allowed her for a run last night and it was for a few minutes before we returned back home. I didn’t want her to go too far and still, she wouldn’t stop nagging and complaining about how I was a party pooper. She said if only I had allowed her to fight others during the past year, they would’ve known she wasn’t that easygoing type. Her complaints weren’t my major concern and neither would I give her nagging a second thought on a normal day. I’ve been worried about Paige. I haven’t heard anything from her since three days ago when we met at the restaurant. She was
LUKA’S POV “To what do I owe this unpleasant visit, Mellissa?” I grumbled as I walked into my office to see Mellissa sitting at my table with a wide grin on her face. “Since when did my visit become unpleasant, Alpha? I thought I was your guest, shouldn’t you treat me with kindness?” After what she did to my mate, I planned on walking her out of my pack forever but on second thought and out of respect for her father, I left her alone hoping she’ll decide to leave once she wants to. “You didn’t treat my mate with kindness, so why should I reciprocate something you didn’t do?” I challenged. “I guess you only cared about her own side of the story and wouldn’t bother with mine,” I smirked at her stupidity. For the past three days, I’ve been pestering Crystina to tell me what caused that fight between them but my mate was so stubborn that she refused. “Get off my table,” She stood up, straightened her skirt, and walked toward me. “Whatever lies she told you isn’t what actually hap
CRYSTINA’S POV He called me Crystina! Luka called me Crystina and it felt strange. When was the last time he called me by my name? It felt different because I could feel the anger and pain behind those words. I’m utterly confused about what was going on. Why was he so angry? Why did he want to kill Aiden that badly? After Luka left, I picked up the pieces of my pride and dignity from the floor, rubbed them against the surface of my hurt, and walked out along with Paige. Paige held my hand as we walked out of the hotel room. A little crowd had gathered to watch us and as I walked by and past them, I could hear their gossip, and whispers and I can’t even understand what they were saying. “You’re wounded, Crystina,” Paige shrieked as we walked into my bedroom at Luka’s mansion. I couldn’t even bear walking into his room right now. He’s asked me to stay away from him. “It’s not that bad,” I plopped onto the bed. “What do you mean it’s not that bad? You’re bleeding,” I examined my pal
CRYSTINA’S POV Luka had no right to call me a slut. Even though his anger is justified to an extent, he still didn't have the right to speak to me that way. He didn’t even allow me to explain what had happened before passing judgment. He can decide to ignore me and not talk to me again, he can even break the mate bond but never in his life does he have the right to call me a slut. I clenched my fist at my side and regretted not slapping him one more time. I was angrier than I’d been when I walked into the room a few minutes ago. I’d come with the intention of explaining and working things out but it appears Luka has already made up his mind. Luka was staring at me murderously, I could see the color of his eyes had turned to pitch black, he was glaring at me murderously. I suddenly remembered how dangerous Alphas can get. Did I just dig my death hole?He began walking towards me slowly like a predator trying to catch his prey. I thought about running for my life but I remained roote
CRYSTINA’S POV Mellissa had a big and victorious smile on her face as she walked into the house with her designer’s ensemble. I turned to look at Luka for the first time that day and he was staring at Mellissa with a smile. “Welcome Mellissa,” he gestured for her to sit next to him. “We’re having lunch right now and I was hoping you would love to join,” “Of course, it would be an honor to have lunch with Alpha and Luna,” She gave me a side-eye. Turning to Mary, Luka instructed, “Direct these men to the room before mine on the second floor. I’d called for the interior decoration. Once they’re here as well, do the same,” he commanded. Mary gave me a look before she walked the men to the second floor. Mellissa turned to me and bowed. “Hello, Luna. It’s been a while since I saw your face. Ooh, I think I saw it yesterday on the news blog,” I bit down on my lower lip to stop the tears that threatened to fall. I scoffed. “Good for you,” I picked up my plate, ready to walk out of the r
LUKA’S POV On Thursday morning, I ordered an arrest of Harryand the owner of that newsletter. I wanted to find out the root of the news and whoever decided to make such news public needs to be taught a lesson. Nobody messes with the Alpha’s family and thinks they’ll ever go scot-free. It wasn’t possible. That would never happen during my time. Before I left the office, the warriors that I sent came back with unpleasant news. “What happened? Where are they?” “The identity of the owner of the blog is unknown. Nobody knows whoever they are and it has been that way since they started operating three years ago. As for Aiden, he’s nowhere to be found, Alpha,” “What!”“We’ve increased the patrol around the pack and equipped them with necessary information. We’ll find him, Alpha,” I left the office in both anger and frustration. I’m still not on talking terms with Crystina because I can’t even bear to look at her without getting angry. The images were still in my head and I tried to co
Crystina’s POV After I saw Mellissa and Luka almost kissing in his room or maybe they were done kissing, I ran out of the house and kept running till I got tired, too tired to even cry. I ended up at the bus station and stayed under the pavilion for hours before returning back to his house. It was on my way back that tears slipped out of my eyes. He said there was nothing between them, he told me Mellissa meant nothing to him and she was just a nobody. How come he was kissing her and holding her tenderly? That was all a lie. It was Monday morning already and that means, I have to resume at the pre-school as planned together with Paige. Throughout the weekend, I’d tried to avoid both Mellissa and Luka. I didn’t take a step out f my room, I had every of my meal right on my bed even though I had no appetite for it. This morning, I did the same thing. I already heard Luka’s voice outside of the house so I turned and took the back door. To avoid Luka, I had to pay the price of walking
