Chapter 29
Luca's POV.
I knew I was done immediately. I set my eyes on Lia in the bar where she worked. She didn't know I existed back then. Nobody knew I was around, not even my uncle.
After being sent away for five years I had managed to come back with my full power. To everybody, I was a rogue because when everyone was getting their wolf I was still weak. Like really weak, but with the help of Sabrina I was able to awaken my wolf. Turns out that I am a hybrid.
My mother left me immediately after she gave birth to me because somebody had already found out that she was a vampire. She and my dad did not want another person to discover my secret.
I got to know about this through Sabrina. Then I discovered that Jenny was my mate. She loved me regardless of who I was or my kind. She was the only one who took me for who I was. Then I woke up one morning to discover that she had been killed by one of our bodyguards. When I asked whose orders he said it was Dean
Gosh! I wanted to murder him right there but I could not. He was the crown prince and my uncle would not allow me. So when I heard that the bloodlust park had a rivalry with us, I helped them kill his mother.
Call me fucking wicked but I wanted vengeance. Ever since then my life has been a mess especially when I was sent out of the park. I just wandered around till I met Sabrina who helped me.
When I came back I promised myself to end Dean's miserable life then I found out about Lia and Merlin who was his son.
The obsession to have her crept slowly into my skin and I made up my mind that I was going to have her irrespective of who she was. Be it Dean's Luna or Finn's mate, they could all go to hell.
And if I am being serious I would have fucked her right this instant or called her back to me as I watched her go away but I did not. I had things to attend to. I needed to make sure that Dean remained where he was and most importantly I needed to visit Sabrina or instead send for her.
And so I did.
Lia POV
I curl my hands into a fist as I storm out of his room. I have never been this humiliated. What the hell was his problem? I ask as I bang the door behind me.
I pace around the room wondering what I did round.
My phone rings. I look at the caller ID. It's Lexie. My heart skips a bit as I pick up the call and hope everything is alright.
I pick up the call “Hello Lexie”
The phone is silent for a while before she picks up. “How are you lia?” She asks me if her voice sounds low or maybe it's the fear in me.
“Am fine. How is Merlin? Is he fine?” I ask her.
“Yes. But he has a little headache. When will you be coming to see him? He has been asking after you”
My heart dropped at the thought of him asking for him. My mother was not present with me when I was growing up because she was dead but I am alive. My son's health is meant to come before anything.
“I can come and see him today, or now. If he is awake” I reply to her without thinking. All that matters is that my son needs me.
“Are you sure?” She asks me her voice laced with doubt.
“Yes.”
“Okay. He will be waiting” she says and hangs up the phone.
I take my bath as I try to wash Luca’s hands or scent from me. I put on my clothes, do a little makeup, and close the door behind me.
As I pass through the gates I am tempted to tell Luca that I am going to see Merlin but after what happened today. I refuse. After all, he does not care about me. What good will it do if I tell him?
I make my way toward the car I was gifted at my remating ceremony with Dean. The palace guard don't even bother stopping me, instead, they bow their heads and leave.
Within thirty minutes I arrive at Lexie's house. I knock for a while before Lexie opens the door.
“Mummy!” Merlin shouts as he runs to hug me. I squat to his night and engulf him in a tight hug rubbing his hair.
“I missed you,” he said in a low voice as he clung to me tighter.
“I missed you too” I whispered back to him. We stayed in that position for a while.
I spend a lot of time with Lexie and Merlin. Merlin soon fell asleep leaving me and Lexie to talk.
After a while, I bade her goodbye, kissed Merlin on the forehead, and got into my car.
Immediately I entered the car, my muscles stiffened. I felt something was wrong. The car smelt different.
A large masculine hand covered my mouth with a handkerchief. I fought hard to remove it but to no avail. Slowly my eyelid became heavy and I closed my eyes. Welcoming myself to darkness once more.
