Emma, We arrived at my parent's home, and I was nervous. I dreaded what my father and mother would say. I knew I had a lot of apologising to do, and I hoped, for my sake, it would be easy. After I got back on my feet, I promised my family I would not look back. I promised them I won't think of Luca again, but here I was. I knew they would be disappointed in me. Lacy sensed my mood, and she linked me to calm down. The moment we stepped out of the cab, a lot of the people on the street stopped to stare at us. I knew it was because they could sense the presence of a true Alpha. I smiled. Lacy carried Katya and went up the stairs to our balcony. Tevin walked out of the front door, and I wondered why he wasn't at the supermarket. "I did not know you were home," I said to him, and he smiled at me. We hugged, and he greeted Lacy, ushering her into our home. My mother and Leana were home, and Tevin told Lacy our father was on the way. "Where are Bruce and Gilbert?" I asked Tevin. "Gilbert

Luca. Emma's father's suspicions were the same as mine. I believed Marcelo and Tomas had something up their sleeves. I suspected it had something to do with Gibson's death, but I hadn't had the time to look into their deeds. My half siblings were still at large, Deigo was still missing, and an unknown group of people wiping out families were still anonymous. I had a wedding to plan, and I did not know how I would manage my time. I wanted to marry Emma and claim her, but it was all looking overwhelming all of a sudden. My resources were stretched thin. I sat on the balcony of my apartment, waiting for Tevin to come so we could check out the duplex he picked. Emma's brothers had been very helpful to me in a short period. I was glad I trusted them with some tasks. Omegas or not, they were dependable, and I admired them. I planned on telling Emma that we would have to rush the wedding so we could deal with pending matters. I did not know how she would take it, but I prayed she would tak

Luca. It took a while before Luciano was fully awake. The drugs they had given him to induce sleep had worn off, and the medical staff came to take him off the machines. He was alright and did not need help. Catalina had tears of joy in her eyes and kissed his forehead gently. I maintained my distance while sitting on the couch, so I did not shock him. He wept a bit, and they both held each other; He had thought she would die, and she had thought he would die; it was a miracle that they still had each other. I was glad my sister called, and I was glad that I was willing to help out. The moment the medical staff left, I cleared my throat, and Luciano looked in the direction of my voice. I watched the colour drain from his face when he saw me, and I knew why. Luciano was uneasy with me in the room. He did not speak, and Catalina just held him. He had lost a lot of weight, and he had dark circles. They must have been through hell before they got attacked. It was sad to see how far the

Luca. We arrived at the duplex late in the afternoon. I was eager to see how my family had settled. Catalina and Luciano walked into the house. "Wow, Luca, I did not expect you to relocate," she said, admiring the duplex. It was small compared to my mansion in Ashfield but homely. Emma made the mansion homely eventually, but this place looked more homely than the mansion. There was still friction between Luciano and Catalina. I knew it would take a while for my sister to forgive him. They had claimed each other, so it was obvious she would have no choice but to forgive him eventually. I longed for the day Emma and I would wear each other's marks. I could not wait. I wished we could claim each other before the wedding, but I knew it was up to her. Miranda was home, and Katya ran toward me. She hugged my leg, and I lifted her and spun her around. She giggled. Catalina reached out to hold her, and I handed her to Catalina. "Hello, little one, I am your aunty," she said and rubbed her

Theo. Everything was spiralling out of control before my eyes. I did not know what to do. I knew it wouldn't be easy, so I did not think things through. Luca hated me, and I knew he had every right to feel that way. Living with a secret for years was hard, and not having anyone to tell or talk to about it was difficult. I did not lie to Lacy when I said I loved her. I really did, but I felt obligated to Karolyn. She never moved on, and her health was thought of concern. I knew Lacy would not accept the twins. That was why I kept Karolyn around so she could take care of them. She blackmailed me for years until I had no choice but to dance to her tune. I could not let my father down and did not want to abandon my sons. As twisted as the situation was. I loved both women. I loved Lacy, and I loved Karolyn. Karolyn was my first, and Lacy was my soulmate and backbone. Leaving her wasn't easy and still isn't. Sometimes I lay in bed wondering what she was doing and how she felt. I did not kn
