Chapter 51
Luca pov.
I had left my phone on recording mode and left it with Lia. I overheard all their conversation. Anger welled up at the thought of her finding it difficult to know who she belonged to. Even though I told her I would not let her mate, even though all I had done was to protect her from my brothers and enemies.
To make matters worse Merlin called me his father and I can swear my heart melted at the thought of being Merlin's dad. My heart melted at the thought of owning Lia and everything she had.
It was easy for me. Even if they had told me to choose between my mate and her I would gladly choose her. However, I felt a pang of pain when I discovered that she was not my mate because I was drawn to her rather than Jenny, my mate.
To cool off whatever ache within me I decided to go and visit my mother's mother or Sabrina. Anybody that would help me nurse my wounded heart.
When she had knocked on my door I had made up my mind to act like I did not care. To make her afraid of losing me just like the way I was afraid of losing her and trust me it was working until water gathered her eyes and I knew I had hurt her more than I wanted to.
I just had to pacify her. Then I walked away. I was on my way to the outskirts of the pack when Sabrina texted me telling me to come to her house. It is very urgent to read the text message.
I knocked on her door twice before she opened it. She was wearing a blue long-sleeve gown with her usual necklace made of coral beads. She smiled at me and stepped aside for me to come in.
I breezed in with my normal pride “What is it you wanted to tell me that was so urgent” I asked impatiently. It irritated me that I was still in this place.
She smiled and walked towards the kitchen and returned with a cup of tea. I glared at her then at the tea “On a scale of one to ten, how much poison did you put into this tea?”I asked her.
She smiled and sat down on her couch “You are still useful to me so don't be afraid. By the way, where are you going?” she asked.
I shrugged and sat on her chair “Going to meet my grandmother”
She smiled “Awwn, is there trouble at Love Island?” She asked.
I rolled my eyes in disgust. Of course, she knew I quarreled with Lia. “What do you want?” I asked her.
“Nothing, just want you to go back to the palace,” she said with a stern voice.
I raised my eyebrow. Don't tell me she called you just to tell me to go to the palace. Why did she not tell me on the phone or maybe she knew I was not going to obey her? Witches are a pain in my ass. “Why should I?” I asked her with nonchalance.
She smiled as she sipped her tea making a throaty noise “You haven't drunk your tea” she said gesturing at the filled cup that I had laid on her table. “Are you still afraid that I am going to poison you?'' she added, her voice laced with teasing.
I pressed my lips together stopping myself from spilling whatever I had in mind. I looked at my wristwatch, impatience was rumbling within me. I took the tea and sipped a little.
“Sabrina,” I called sternly. She raised her eyebrow in feigned ignorance. I rolled my eyes in anger.
“Lovers do quarrel. It does not mean you would treat her like trash and leave. Your brother is holding a party for her and I promise you that if you don't get there early. You are going to blame yourself for whatever happened, "she warned.
“First we are not lovers and if you are talking about lia. Dean is her husband he can do whatever he wants with her” I replied nonchalantly even though it felt forbidden to call Dean her husband.
And I cared so much for whatever he did to her but I was not a toy or a bodyguard to her. I needed her to value my presence to appreciate it.
She smiled at me “We both know that is a lie.” She said I hated the fact that she was telling the truth. “Well, if you don't Lia might end up getting raped by your cousin or even get killed” she added and watched my reaction.
My jaw tightened at the thought of coming back and discovering that Lia was dead or that she was raped by Dean. My reaction would be bloody. I might as well kill him.
I glared at her “If you happen to be lying I would kill you with my own hands” I warned as I stood up.
A little chuckle escaped her lips. “You can't harm me.” She said and opened the door for me.
I glared at her once more before I entered my car and drove away. I sped up towards the palace. I met a large crowd outside eating and drinking.
Everyone created a path for me as I entered. Of course, everyone knew how brutal I could be or maybe they still saw me as the forbidden one who killed their Luna. Either way, it was their business and not mine.
I beckoned Ava one of Lia's maids. “Where is your Luna?” I asked.
“She went with the Alpha to his room” she informed me, fear lacing her voice, her shoulders tightened with hesitation.
“What are you hiding? Tell me, I won't tell anyone” I said.
“She was drunk. She went with the Alpha to his bed” she said.
I nodded and left her advancing towards the Dean’s room. His bodyguards stood there. I tried to knock but they stopped me.
“The Alpha is busy with his Luna,” he said with triumph in his voice. I smiled, he has always been a loyal twat.
I brought out my knife and stabbed one, then I snapped Raphael's neck.
“Help!” Lia screamed. My desperation increased. The door was tightly locked. I kept on hitting the door with my full weight until it opened.
Blood filled my vision at the sight. Lia was lying on the bed with tear-stained eyes with a naked Luca. He was obviously forcing himself on her.
She smiled when she saw me and at that moment all the anger I had toward her washed away. It was replaced with anger, I made up my mind that the next time he would do such a thing I would kill him. I don't care how the pack would see me.
