For the rest of the day, I just pretty much sat there going through a list that he gave me and calling and asking for the numbers from this month from all the businesses from this pack. This is a lot of work for just one guy. I didn't realize how time consuming it could be. Jeez.

"Come on. Let's go." He puts on his jacket and walks out the door. I stretch and yawn. Man, I'm beat. What time is it? I close the laptop, turning it off and rushing out and closing the door behind me, trying to catch up to Luciano. I glance at the bottom button, the one I've pressed many times before and a thought enters my mind.

"Can I do something before we leave?" I ask as we enter the elevator and the doors lock us in. He thinks for a moment.

"Fine. Make it quick." I grin to myself and press the button, for the mail room. I swear, I saw the slightest smile from him and I turn away, clearing my throat.

The doors open and in go inside.

"Cece?" I round the corner and she looks frazzled and tired.

"I thought you said it was easy! How do you do it?" She sighs and throws and envelope on the floor. I feel Luciano's presence behind me and she gasps, picking it up and sitting it on the desk.

"Alpha." She bows her head.

"No need. I'm in the car." He says and whispers the last part in my ear.

"I'll help Kay? So we can both go home. I know that it can get hard." I chuckle and we spend five to six minutes finishing. We finish and turn off the lights, and locking up building.

"Thank you so much Luna. I'm grateful." She goes for a hug but stops.

I engulf her in a huge hug and she squeezes me back. "Does this mean we're friends?" She asks as she let's go, and I smile and nod.

"Sure. Goodnight!" I laugh and walk to the car that I remember seeing Luciano in. I hop in and he puts down his phone. His hand goes to the gears, but then he stops.

"Seatbelt." He says.

I freeze, biting my tongue, and oblige, pulling it over me.

"Stop being a brat." He mutters and puts it in reverse, and we pull out of the parking lot.


<~~~~~>


It's time to swoon him. We make it to this beautiful two story house in the forest. I look up in awe at the massive house and grab Luciano's arm as he starts to walk past me.

"I thought you said cabin.." Not that I'm complaining though. He chuckles and leads us to the house, unlocking the door. His scent flows through the house and I take a big whiff.

"You like how the candles smell?" He asks and locks the door and I follow him up stairs, into a big room.

"I think it's the candles." I mumble and look around.

The room is decorated with white and gold. Very pretty. I walk into the closet and see my clothes on one side, and Luciano's on the other. I pick out one of the shirts that I stole from my brother and a pink lace thong.

I spot some sheer, knee high stockings and debating on wearing them or not. I have to make him want me, I have to try.

I take a pink pair with ribbons on the top. I skip out and walk into the bathroom. I take a shower, brush my teeth, and braid my long hair into two braids. I change into the clothes and leave the bathroom, putting my clothes in a empty bin I'm assuming is for dirty clothes.

I follow the smell of deliciousness down the stairs and into the kitchen where a shirtless Luciano is cooking something. It's smells great. His hair is pulled into a ponytail in the back and a pair of grey sweats are hanging low on his hips and his abs are on full shows. His tattooed upper body is shining under the kitchen lights. He looks too nice to treat people so terribly. Heat rushes to my cheeks as I avert my eyes to the pan on the stove.

"Baby girl..." He sits down whatever he had in his hand and looms in front of me. He takes my chin and turn my head, coming right by my ear. I can feel his body heat. My core starts burning with desire and I take in a breath, trying to control myself. Just because he's desirable does not excuse him behavior. Plus, my body is only reacting to him in such way because of the mate bond. Nothing else. Absolutely. Probably.

"I can smell you sweet arousal love. I don't want to do something you don't want." He whispers ever so huskily in my ear. Shivers dance up and down my body and I turn my head, looking at him with a dangerous gaze. Play along with it...

"How do you know I don't want it...?" I whisper back seductively and kiss the side of his face. He pulls me in for a deep, passionate kiss. No tongue. And it still as sweet as ever. I almost cup his face with my hands, but then the memory of a few day ago flashed through my head.





"Luna!" A familiar voice calls out and I look up to see Elise.

"Elise!" I nearly cry out at the sight of her.

"Are you okay? What's wrong?" She says and comes as close to the bars as possible.

"I don't know my mark is burning me and it hurts so bad..." Tears slide down my face and pain doesn't go away.

"Oh..." She says somewhat sad and gives me a sorry look.

"What? What wrong with me?" I curl into a ball on the floor.

"It's your mate... That means he's doing something with another she-wolf...."


I pull away immediately and take a few steps back, bringing a hand to my mouth. Hurt flashes through his eyes and he holds out his hand.

"What's wrong?" He asks with what I think is concern in his voice.

"Did you have sex with someone after you marked me?" I carefully ask, furrowing my brows. My true emotions are starting to show, I need to be strong. But the fact is, that really hurt me. I feel myself becoming weaker and emotional. I watch his reaction and at first his eyebrows furrow in confusion but then regret washes over his features. I knew it. Prick.

"Dulcene.."

"Stop. I'm sorry Luciano. I don't want to do anything mating related yet. I need to get over the fact that you slept with another woman while your real mate was locked away, crying her soul out." I fume, moving away and I walk into the living room, sitting on the big beautiful couch. Well maybe I'll try again tomorrow but I cannot continue to do this anymore tonight. I don't feel like it.

"Listen to me." He demands and I glare up at him.

"She poisoned me. I didn't know what I was doing. I'm so, so sorry and I've been trying to make it right. You have every right to be mad. I'm sorry. But it wasn't my fault." He reasons and I look down at my feet. Oh. So, it wasn't intentional.

Relief floods my aching chest and I go over his words in my head. "I'm so happy! He does love us!" I hear my wolfs voice ring out and I shut my eyes, blocking her out.

"Okay." I say and bring my legs up and sit cross cross apple sauce.

"I'll bring us dinner okay? Do you like soup?" He says and turns to walk back to the kitchen. "Sure." He smiles and retreats back into the kitchen. For the rest of the night, we ate while watching a random show on adult swim. Then we went to bed. I laid far away from him at first, and I shut my eyes, allowing sleep to overcome me.
