Lia pov.
Immediately I stepped out of the restaurant. Cold caressed my skin causing goosebumps to cloak my skin. I hugged myself tightly. I stopped for a while to stare at Luca's car. That car had brought me so many memories. I had cried in that car, had multiple orgasms, and even quarreled in that same car.
Without wasting much more time I went away. Making sure no one saw me, I wrapped my scarf carefully to avoid suspicion. My mouth still smells like scotch.
For a moment I wondered what would have happened if Luca just took me to the table there without wasting time or trying to restrain himself. I could tell that he wanted to fuck me hard from the way he looked at me with desire mixed with lust or with the way he caressed my lips after the kiss.
After a while, I stopped at the center of the pack and took a cab to the palace. I wonder why Finn started looking for me. Like he had Binaca he should try to focus on her and leave me alone.
Immediately, the gate opened, and I stepped outside. Annabel rushed to me with worry masked on her face.
“Annabel, what happened? You don't look okay” I said with a hint of concern.
“The Alpha has been looking for you. He is so furious right now” she informed me.
I rolled my eyes “Is that the reason for your fear? I will be fine” I assured her, squeezing her shoulders lightly.
She nodded with a plastered smile. “I know. It's just that he has anger issues, and he felt you were in danger,” she said, taking my handbag from me.
I nodded, heaving a sigh of relief. It was better than him thinking I had gone to see Luca.
“Do you have any free clothes?” I asked if I needed to cover Luca: 's scent around me.
“Yes.” She answered.
“Good. Where is he?” I asked.
“In the pool. Alone” she added with emphasis on alone.
That was the least of my concerns right now.
“Get me some of your clothes. I need to change” I informed her. She stared at me with wide eyes, I knew so many questions were running through her mind. Like, what did a royalty need maid clothes for or stuff like that, but it was not my business.
“What are you waiting for? Get going,” I ordered, dismissing me.
She nodded with hesitation and ran away. I immediately rushed into my room and took my bath, trying to scrub off Luca's scent on me, but no matter how I did it. I could not erase his presence from my mind. His smile still caused butterflies to fill my tummy and even the imagery of his husky voice warmed my ties.
She brought the clothes and I put them on. I allowed it to stay on my Body for a while before I changed into my actual royal clothes and made my way to the pool. He seemed to have a swimming
Thankfully by the time I got there, no one was there. It was just me and him and his house guard. Immediately he saw me he swamped outside, worry masked his face.
“Where have you been? I have been searching for you” he said.
I gave him a polite smile. My body reacted to his touch but my heart did not. When I looked at his eyes, my stomach did not flutter, and I did not find it hard to breathe with his piercing gaze. Everything was ordinary without any emotions.
Why did I not get mated to Luca? It would have been an epic love story but then again, I could not be mated to him. He had a mate.
I cleared my throat “I went to visit Benedicta and Lexie. Lexie was slightly injured. We needed to take care of her” I answered.
He heaved a sigh of relief. “Yes, I know, but you would have told me. I could have sent some guards with you. What if they had hurt you?” He asked with genuine concern.
It touched my heart. It seriously did but it was not needed.
“They are my pack members. They would never hurt me” I answered.
He nodded. “Yes, but that was before, but now you are the Luna of another pack. Not just another pack but an enemy who tooked their Luna,” he said.
Whatever he said was true. I knew that most of the pack females would hate me because I was Finn's mate but I didn't think they would hurt me. Luca would not let them touch my hair.
“Let's go back to our room,” he said.
I nodded and walked in total silence. It was only filled with stolen glances from Finn. My mind wandered around so many things like what would I do if he caught me. What excuse was I going to give tomorrow to make him allow me to visit Merlin? Did anyone see me with Luca?
“Why did you not tell me you were going?” He asked again for the second time. Irritation was already building up within me.
“ you and your secretary. Oh, sorry you and your cousin went to a business meeting. How was I meant to see you?” I asked, my tone lacking impatience.
He glanced at me from the side and tilted his head to the other side. “Nothing is going on Lia. I don't know what I would do to convince you” he said softly, as if he was imploring me to trust him to give him a little piece of my heart.
“If you say so,” I said and continued walking in utter silence.
Immediately we entered the room I pulled my Royal gown and changed to a more suitable outfit.
By the time I came outside, there was a card on the table with Finn leaning on the wall beside it.
“What is this?” I asked to open the invitation card.
“An invitation to Luca’s marriage” he informed me. Although he tried to sound normal, I could feel the hint of joy in his tone
