Chapter 69
Lia pov
I called Daina and watched as she arranged my clothes for my departure. I haven’t seen Dean ever since Finn came. Guess he never cared for me.
A knock on the door interrupted my packing session. “Come in,” I said.
The door opened, revealing Lorenzo. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and ask him out. What had he come here to do? To ask me out of the palace, if that was the case I already knew because Finn was waiting for me outside, or maybe he had come to rub it on my face and call me a whore.
I focused on zipping my luggage while the silence existed. “If you are here to watch me leave, I would advise that you go because it is not going to help. I might as well snatch your head since I am leaving”
He sighed a little and took a quick glance at my room. His eyes filled with something like pain or regret before it landed on mine again.
“You could stay, you know. We could fight him. After all, you have already rejected him.” He said.
My eyes widened. Is this the same Lorenzo I had always known or is my mind playing mind games with me? What changed? I thought he hated me.
“If you can’t stay with us. Stay for Luca. He needs you,” He said in a pleading tone.
I scoffed. “He has a mate. I have a mate. I see no reason he should be missing me when he has someone warming his bed,” I said as I took my frame from the wall.
He heaved a sigh “Lia, you know that there is some bond that is stronger than mate bond.” He said.
A chuckle escaped my lips as I turned my attention towards him again. “What do you gain from my stay?” I asked.
He shook his head. “Luca was my friend before all this incident. I have never actually seen him this broken,” he informed me.
“He is acting strong but we all know the bond between them is over,” he said.
Pain clutched my heart at the reminder of Luca’s pained expression even after he kissed me, but he will get over it and move on. After all, he had always kept some part of himself for her.
“He will be fine, Lorenzo. You should be happy that you are finally getting rid of the whore,” I said, giving him a sad smile.
He smiled back and gave me a weak smile. “I just feel your going would bring doom, but goodbye,” he said and left.
Daina carried my luggage. I took one last look at the room before leaving. I wonder if Jenny would be the one to take over the room after I am gone. Maybe Luca would make love to her instead of fucking me.
Dean, Lorenzo, and everyone stood around the hall, watching me as I rolled my luggage. I scanned the room for Luca, but he was nowhere to be found.
Fresh paint paved my heart. Was he so anxious to go that he could not wait for me to leave before going to her?
Dean walked towards me and hugged me before whispering into my ear, “He said I should tell you goodbye. He hopes you guys come back once again. And for The first time I am in support of you Guy's reunion,” he said with a little chuckle.
He pulled me out of the hug and gave me a kiss on my head before walking away. Maid putting on the Finn park uniform,” came to carry my bag, but Daina held it tight to herself.
“I would follow you,” she said firmly. Her voice was laced with pleading and loyalty.
“Daina-” I began, but she cut me off.
“Please, my Luna. Please,” she pleaded.
I nodded. Since she actually wanted to follow me, besides, I needed someone by my side. Besides, I was going to start a new life elsewhere, and I knew no one.
My heart dropped elsewhere because of all this preparation. Merlin had not crossed my mind. Would Finn be okay with him coming? No. He would never want him, and Merlin’s presence would cause a problem in the pack.
Because he was Dean's problem child. I would beg Benedicta to stay with him till everyone was settled, but I needed to stop at her place before leaving.
“Lia,” Finn called. He was standing behind me. I turned to him. “Let’s go,” he said, stretching forth his hands.
I turned to look at Dean and Lorenzo once more. They nodded their heads at me but I did not need their approval. I wanted to see Luca once more.
As if on cue, Luca came outside with Jenny. Our eyes locked for a while. I wanted to hug him, wanted to tell him that we could fight for ourselves. His eyes looked pained, and his blue eyes looked watery.
“I would look after him, myself,” he said, staring at me. I smile a genuine smile for the first time. He smiled back and nodded at me. Signaling me to go.
Gosh! I never knew I would miss this place. I hadn’t even stayed here for two years but I had already gotten used to the place. I got addicted to Luca.
I turned towards Finn, who gave me a smile and took my hand. It surprised me that he was so patient with me after all this while.
The guards escorted us with Daina by my side. I entered the car and Finn entered through the other way.
Immediately we entered, his smile vanished as he looked at me. “We are going to my pack, Lia. You would have to leave everything about Luca behind. You are going to be my wife and Luna, and I really don’t love sharing. It would be good for us if you leave everything behind,” he warned coldly.
I nodded. “I would like to see a friend,” I informed him
