Chapter 19
Dean's father was dead. He was killed by Leo, Finn's beta. The same Finn who was my mate. The same Finn who had been in my room and kissed me.
Here I thought he risked his life to see me. I suddenly felt dirty and used. He did not come here because he valued me. He came to my room to pass the time while his friend killed my Alpha.
He knew he would be safe with me after all I was his mate. No one would come here so he let himself play with my feelings.
I curled my palms into a fist as anger swept through me.
“Did you see him?” Luca asked me. His eyes were red with anger. Dean’s father was the only one whom he had on his side.
Even though he committed such an atrocity he still welcomed him when he came back. Losing him must have been painful to him.
I shook my head “No. I don't even know who he is”
Luca sniffed around the room. I sucked in my breath. Hope he did not smell him. I would be dead. It would mean I harbored a killer in my room.
Luca's eyes reduced to a split, he glanced through me from my shoes to my top. He glanced around the room looking for some clue. He walked towards me steadily with baby steps.
“What do you know?” Luca asked as his rough palm caressed my neck.
I took in a shaky breath, my palm became sweaty like a wet towel. I swallowed hard “What do.. Do you mean? If I knew something…I would tell you” I stuttered looking at him.
He glared at me for a while before he stepped back. “Keep your door open. I will be back” he ordered and left.
I took in a shaky breath as he closed the door. I took my pillow but it smelt different. It smelt of Finn. I took out my perfume and sprayed it around my pillow before lying on it.
I closed my eyes as my mind went back to his full pink lip, his smell, the kiss. I moved my hands to feel my lips, and my thumb caressed his impact on it.
I suddenly drew my hands from what I was doing. Gosh! Why would I let such a memory get to me?
Knock! Knock! Knock!
I stood up and went to open the door. Luca came inside. His shoulders tensed. His face carried a sardonic tone.
“What's wrong?” I asked immediately I closed the door behind me.
He kept quiet for a while and sat in my bed. Up until now, I had known Luca to always carry a blank face. His emotions were calculative but seeing him like this with his head bent. I knew that his uncle's death had pained him.
“Dean thinks I killed his father.” He said in a low voice. He ran his hands across his head vigorously, when he raised his head his eyes were tear-stained.
“How could he think so low about me? I mean he is my uncle. He was the only one who loved me even though I was a rogue. My father hated me for being a rogue. How could he think that I wanted to kill him” he asked. His voice sounded broken.
I walked towards him and rubbed his shoulders. The fact that he came to me meant he valued me, he saw me in a higher way.
“you can explain yourself besides you said it was Leo. Right?”I asked.
He nodded. “They caught him. But he still thinks that I am responsible maybe I sneaked him in or something”
He sniffed in loudly with shaky breaths. His veiny hands trembled. He was in so much pain, seeing him like this made my heart ache.
“I mean he is my uncle. Why on earth would I want to hurt him? I don't hurt the people I love” he said and the last part felt as if it was directed at me.
I swallowed hard. He took in unsteady breath “He thinks I did it for you,” he said.
I furrowed my eyebrows “What?” I asked.
He shook his head and nodded “ He thinks we are fucking each other” he said.
My face grew pale. “ why would he think about us like that “
“Dean is very observant. He saw the way you hugged me. He said he sees the way we look at each other” he said.
I stared at him, he stared at me for a while. Our eyes moved to our lips, and we drew closer to each other”
The door burst open. Dean, Lorenzo, and Sasha came in all glaring at us.
Sasha pointed at me “I heard her talking to Finn” she said.
I opened my mouth in shock. I stared at her. Luca burst into laughter.
“Is this a joke? What will Finn be doing with her?” he asked still laughing.
“I heard him talking to her,” she said again.
“You are not even my mate. You are going to pay dearly” he said and ordered some men to take me.
In a split moment,, Luca had his dagger pressed against Sasha's neck. Her eyes shone with fear.
“Touch her and I promise to throw your fucking buddy into the den or give the pieces of her body to the dogs” he threatened. His voice was so lethal.
So Sasha was his mistress. No wonder I was not okay with being friends with her.
Dean's jaw clenched. “Luca let her go”
“Let Lia go” he retorted.
“Or else what?” Dean asked him.
“Or else I am going to do to you what you did to me. Lia is not your mate so she is safe and I will keep her but I will make sure I kill your mate the instant you set your eyes on her” he warned.
They glared at each other for a while. Luca pressed the blade against her.
“ let her go” Dean ordered.
