Luna Lucia"Hmm," He looked up and dropped the book. Then he came to sit by my side and asked calmly, "Do you need something?"I held his palms and noticed his reluctance. I knew my suspicions were right at that moment. "Santino, did I do something wrong?""No."There he goes again with the curt reply. I forced myself to remain calm and tried again."Why do I feel like you have been acting strange lately then? If I did anything wrong, let me know. I'll apologize to you. Just—""Lucia," He dropped my hands gently. "You are overthinking things. Get some rest. I'll be over there. Call me when you need me."I grabbed his wrist, refusing to let him go. "You are doing it again!" I yelled, not caring how my lungs hammered at my action. "Lucia," His brows knitted with worry and he returned to my side. "Why are you getting so worked up? Did you forget the doctor asked you not to stress yourself?""But I can't help it when you won't talk to me," I didn't mean to burst into tears but I did. "I
Sapphira'Dante has been suspended for the meantime for not exposing his sister when he discovered her plans.' 'Oh.'We remained in silence for some minutes, lost in our thoughts. When Romeo suddenly turned to me, 'Sister-in-law, do you want to see something fun?' I arched a brow at him and he grinned. 'Come with me and I'll show you where I usually spend most of my time.''I don't know—'Although Rafael told me I could leave the packhouse as long as I get someone to accompany me, I didn't feel like going out of the house for some reason.Romeo tried a few more times to persuade me and I eventually accepted but not without a warning, 'We'll have to return home soon.''Hmm mhm,' he nodded. 'You'll love it I promise.'Thus, I allowed myself to be cajoled.________SophiaAfter days of waiting for a sign... something that will give me the go ahead to carry on with what I planned, I finally got one today.I heard Rafael is out of town. He has been going on trips a bit too frequently but
SapphiraJust as we were about to leave, some men suddenly blocked our path. I could recognize the rascal from earlier and there was now a well-dressed man behind him.That must be the boss he mentioned. They were all looking so fierce and the boss in particular was staring at me lewdly. I didn't like it.'Romeo, don't argue with them. Just have the race. Isn't it just one race? I know you can beat him.'I know Romeo could easily take on all of them and defeat them but that will attract a lot of attention and Romeo already told me earlier when he disguised himself that he was racing under a fake alias.So as not to attract attention to his identity. If a fight breaks out between him and these rascals, he will get into trouble for it."Mute, just listen to what the beauty says and have a race with us," the boss taunted. It seems they all already know that Romeo can't talk. I was slightly irked and wondered what chances I would have to escape if I shove my fist up his jaw now."Great,
RaphaelThe first thing I wanted to do when I returned was to go to Sapphira. Even though I was only away for a few days, I thought of her everyday and wondered what she was doing.But I knew if I called her, she would probably not want to talk to me. After the misunderstanding had been cleared between us, I felt like my heart had grown fonder towards her and I was scared.I might have to tell her sooner or later why I can't mark her and I dread her reaction.However, when I walked in, I didn't expect Ricardo to meet me midway or the solemn expression on the faces of others.Before I could inquire what was going on, he spoke, "Brother... Sapphira is missing.""What?" The exhaustion from the long trip disappeared instantly. "How? When did this happen?"Ricardo sighed and narrated everything that had happened to me. Furious was an understatement. I turned to Romeo and snapped, "Why were you hanging around an illegal race arena? Why did I never know there was a place of sorts? And last
SophiaI looked at her silently before bursting into laughter like I had just heard the funniest joke of the century. "How do you know that?" I grabbed her hair and pulled it aside. She winced in but I wasn't scared. "Look, he has left you unmarked for so long. Doesn't that show just how little your worth to him is? Rafael is only blinded by your beauty now. Once you disappear, he won't even think of you again and I'll win his heart."I crouched so I could look at her directly. "Do you know what I will do first?"She didn't respond but I spoke anyway, "I'll have that little bastard of yours kicked out of the street and then I'll bear Rafael's children. My children will continue his bloodline."I expected her to get mad at my words but instead she looked at me like I was a clown and smiled. I was peeved."Why are you laughing? Did I say something funny?"She winced when I brought the silver laced knife to the other cheek, leaving a similar mark on it. She shook her head and her smile
Rafael"Sophia, do you even know the severity of your actions?" I could hear Mrs Castillo's voice as we walked into their house. They had called Dante to inform him that she had returned home disheveled and was in a terrible condition but that was not my concern."Mom, I told you I didn't do anything wrong. Why don't you believe me? Just look at the state I'm in. Do you think I am capable of doing anything?""But you still haven't told me where you went. It will bad when the alpha—""No need."I took long strides at them and pulled her up. With a tight hold on her wrist, I gritted, "Where is Sapphira? Where have you taken her? Sophia, what the hell is wrong with you?""You," Contrary to my fury, she smiled and looked down on our linked arms. I was suddenly feeling disgusted."You finally came to see me.... Rafael, have you realized I'm meant for you and not her? Have you—""You have gone mad!" I yelled and flung her arm. She staggered but she still came back to me. "Rafael, you don'
SapphiraThe pain was terrible. I felt like I couldn't breathe, like my entire body was on fire. Like there were many fire ants crawling into me. I have never felt this way before in my life. The rogues had tossed me off in this part of the woods after inflicting torture on me.Each time they stabbed me, it felt like I was reborn again to go through the same pain. When they finally had enough and realized I wasn't going to die so soon, one said to the rest, "There's probably already a bounty on our heads. If we stick around to kill this bitch that clearly doesn't want to die, we might get caught.""So I say let's just throw her somewhere no one is ever going to find her and escape."After that, I didn't know how long we went but they went deeper into the woods and finally found somewhere to toss my almost lifeless body.My body was trembling and weak from the pain but no words came out of my mouth. So I laid there helplessly and wasn't even conscious of the flies hovering around me.
The Writer_ "Where is the alpha? I want to see him," Luna Lucia questioned the hefty guards that were standing in front of her mate's chambers and obstructing her path. Her hands clenched by her side subtly. She had only just woken up from her nap when one of her maids informed her that the slut her mate has kept in the pack for months has finally gone into labour. She couldn't describe how relieved she felt at the news. The bitch would finally leave their lives once and for all. It was quite a shame to her that she was discovered to be infertile after getting mated to Santino Romani, the alpha of Bloodstone pack. She couldn't give her fated mate a cub. She was unable to produce the future heir of the pack. Despite this, Santino never stopped loving her or showing how much he cherished her, that was until a few months ago. He got involved in a one night stand and had accidentally impregnated the stray wolf. She didn't fuss about it. It was like the moon goddess heard their p
