Luka’s POVWhen Alfred called me, I returned to my room and it was about the date for the next meeting.After I dropped my phone to go back to Emily, it rang again.“Hello Luka…” That familiar voice that I had almost forgotten said from the end of the phone. It made me freeze but quickly recover.Why was he here?“What do you want?” I asked, trying to sound indifferent, even though I was on edge. “Is that how to say hello to an old friend?” his voice reeked of fake sincerity and I felt a shiver run down my spine. “I thought we were friends now after all these years?”I didn’t reply and then added in a cold tone: “If you wanted anything you could have just told me.”He sighed, “Of course, of course...” and then laughed lightly. “Well I guess you don't have much time today anyway, so I'll get straight to the point. I called to congratulate you”I knew him too well, I was familiar with the sick games he played, too familiar with them and I knew better than to entertain him.“Congratulat

Emily's POVI ran through the dark woods with the little bag I had carried, trying to escape. The sounds of pursuit rang in my ears, and I could hear a couple of dogs bark out after me, I didn't know if it was my imagination but I picked up my pace . My heart thumped heavily against my chest and the sound echoed throughout the silent forest. Suddenly the moonlight lit up the leaves on the trees and illuminated everything around me for an instant before they were shrouded by darkness again.I needed to get as far as I could if not he was going to find me . That wasn’t an option at all, and I couldn’t go back. Not now. I wouldn't let that happen to me.“Amelia, please we need to do this together” I cried out to my Wolf as I continued to run.“Are you insane Emily? What are you doing? we need to get back now” she yelled at me from my head . “We have bigger problems than this! This is about safety, you idiot!”“I am leaving without him!” I screamed back to her over the rushing of my blo

Luka’s POVI woke up to blinding lights burning into my eyes. I tried to close my eyelids and blink away the light, but the world spun around me until I felt dizzy. And the next second everything went dark again.I blinked several times to clear my vision and I realized I was lying down on a bed. Everything was soft, warm, and comfortable.I was in my room.“You are awake Your Majesty” Alfred ran to my side, his eyes were glistening with unshed tears. “Are you alright? Are you sure that you are alright? Did you hurt yourself?” I smiled weakly.I felt weak and as I tried to sit up, dizziness hit me and I fell back onto the pillow. Alfred rushed to my side , placing his hand over mine, “Rest Sir” he whispered and he sat down next to me “You need rest” “I am fine” I insisted .Alfred looked at me worriedly and he wiped away a few stray tears from the corner of his eye “Please, just take it easy”“Alright, alright…” I relented “I promise I'll rest soon, alright? I just need some wate

Emily’s POV“What's your name?” “Sara” I answered- lied as meekly as I could , still not used to the fact that I was being questioned by a stranger.“What pack are you from?”Again my mind immediately jumped to wolf pack and I bit back the instinctive response, knowing it would just make this man more suspicious of me. I took a deep breath before answering him “I don't remember much…”“You don't?” His grey eyes bore into mine as if trying to dig through my skull to find whatever memory he was looking for. It was unsettling how he seemed almost fascinated with me, even though I had no idea what he wanted to know. I didn't think I should tell him anything about myself because his reaction to the name was too odd for comfort. He seemed genuinely concerned, but then again, I wasn't exactly the most normal person in the world either. I couldn't shake the feeling that this man and his people could be dangerous, so perhaps the best thing to do would be to remain quiet and pretend to be compl

Luka’s POVI ended up at the bar and drank in a stupor. It was a miracle how I managed to drive home without crashing through some random vehicle but that didn't bother me because I wasn’t planning on sleeping tonight anyway. I was just trying to drown out my problems and think of nothing except what was going on behind my eyelids. I wasn't okay.I thought I was going to be able to handle the news of Emily being missing but the pregnancy was a shocker to me.I had an opportunity to be a father, an opportunity I had been looking forward to all my life and it had been ripped from my hand like a paper towel. Now I'm not even sure if I should have left her alone they might, considering the circumstances.That night…I remember it vividly just like yesterday. Her scent had lingered in the air, it was there still lingering in my senses. The scent of jasmine perfume and fresh rain with a hint of cinnamon always reminded me of home. Even now, had she overheard my conversation over the phone?
