Chapter 54
Dean pov
Lorenzo smirked “Let the game begin”
I furrowed my eyebrows and asked, “What do you mean by let the game begin?” I asked.
“Can't you see that final arrival would be in our favor?” He asked.
I shook my head. If he meant his taking my wife would be in his favor, then I was not interested. It would be an insult to our park, and it might lead to war.
I can order him to reject her, although that was near impossible because he was an Alpha, plus it would be inhuman to order someone to reject his mate.
“It would weaken Luca's thirst against us, and we will be in power once again,” Lorenzo implied.
I shook my head. “If you think I am going to let Lia go just like that, then you would be joking,” I said without mincing words.
Lorenzo's face turned blank. “Why?”
I shrugged as I walked back to my seat. “She is my wife; if she goes, the pack would be without a Luna, which is not good for the pack,” I explained.
Luna grabbed a chair and sat on the chair “Who told you that the absence of a Luna is bad for the park?” He asked.
“Look-” I began
“Your mother died and the park ruled just fine. No one was affected except her immediate family”
Whatever he said was true, but I was looking at the future harm it might cause the park.
Luca might decide to fight back and even attack the park. He was a restless rogue, and he had killed Lia. He would not bother to kill more for her.
And the idea of lia being with Finn did not sit down with me. He had a rough way of living. I agree that all wolves are rogue but his own was worse.
“Except you have started falling for her,” Lorenzo said, his eyes narrowed to a split.
I sighed as I rubbed my heels with my hands. How the hell did I end up with someone this stupid? How would he think I was falling for her?
Irritation laced my face. “Eww, why would you say such a thing? I am thinking about the park security and nothing else,” I replied, admonishing his thoughts.
I could never fall for Lia. She was annoying, always finding a way to crawl into my skin. Either by disobeying me or by reminding me of how incompetent I was compared to Luca.
I never knew she was that into Luca until yesterday when she managed to rub all her fantasies on my face.
I wonder how Luca managed to win the hearts of girls into being faithful to him. Every girl I tried to get close to always saw me as a means to an end.
To either become the Luna OE or gain favor from my father for her father.
My mind raced back to Lia's full pink lip. My groin increased in anticipation. I was going to have her before Finn took her away, even if it meant harming Luca.
“Dean!Dean!” Lorenzo called but it sounded far off.
He tapped my hands bringing me back to reality, making me flinch a little bit. “Did you hear what I said?” He asked, his voice laced with excitement.
I shook my head as I sat up and faced him. “Sorry, what did you say?”I asked.
He narrowed his eyes. “What were you thinking about?”
I was thinking about how I was going to make Lia give in to me willingly. Was I going to tell him? No.
“Nothing,” I said with a finality tone.
He watched me for a while before he began “I was thinking about forming an alliance with Sabrina against Luca”
I groaned in frustration. He was always seeking the help of the witches knowing fully well that they hated us. They almost killed my parents.
Allying with Sabrina would be the dumbest idea.
“Listen to me. We still have three days to rub it off on Luca's face that Finn is going to take his lover. We would instigate him into fighting with Finn. And we all know that he is a rogue. Finn will come with his armed men, and together we will kill him,” he explained.
I nodded. It was a perfect idea. But then again, that was not what I wanted. If I could make Luca surrender without killing him I would happily do that. He was my cousin after all.
And before Jenny came into the picture, we were good friends. I knew he would retaliate if Finn took her. Maybe I would stab him for a week or more.
“What if he does not fight with Finn? I mean Luca is a cunning person. You can't know his next move. He might want Lia, but he would take her in another way,” I said.
“If he does not fight him then it would be a good course. After all, he does not want your throne.” He said with a shrug.
My eyes fell on the letter. I took it and smiled at Lorenzo. He returned the smile knowing my next move.
I stood up and made my way to Lia's room. I was sure he had dropped her there. Lorenzo followed me to my back.
I knocked on Lia's door, but there was no response. I knocked again before moving to Luca’s door.
Anger filled me at the thought of seeing them together, but then again, I was holding greater news.
I knocked on the door. Luca half opened the door. He was wearing sweatpants but had a bare chest.
He narrowed his eyes “What do you want?” He asked.
A smile tugged my lips. I stretched forth the letter. He glared at the letter and then at me.
“What is this?” He asked with anger.
“A Letter from your lover's mate,” I replied.
He glanced at me and then at the letter. His jaw clenched.
He took the letter and banged the door against me.
Lorenzo tapped my shoulders. “Step one is done”.
