Alpha Luca (work in progress!!)

Chapter twenty one

After I made it to the house I ran up the stairs and straight into the bathroom to shower. I couldn't help but think about what he said. What did he mean one day? All I ever wanted was for someone to truly care about me.

I always looked forward to finding my mate. Who would care for me and protect me from my so called family. Someone I would grow old with and have pups. But that's not what I got

I got someone who was cold and heartless. Or at least seemed to be. I knew he wanted to try but something was holding him back. I want to be there for him but I don't know how.

After my shower I got dressed and ready for bed. But I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about what he said. Everytime I closed my eyes all I could think about was him and only him. But did he think about me? Did he feel the same way I did for him.

Finally I decided I wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight and made my way downstairs. I grabbed some juice from the fridge and made my way outside to the back.

There was a beautiful garden with a bench swing in the middle. I sat down and got lost in my thoughts. I didn't even realize someone had come out until they sat down next to me. I turned and saw Luca sitting there.

I started at him for a minute and then looked down at the ground. I didn't know what to say and he didn't either. I noticed the blanket in him hands and then realized I was only in shorts and a t shirt.

He slowly wrapped the blanket around me and I took it great fully. For a minute neither of us said anything until he spoke up.

"I'm sorry" he said.

I looked at him confused and surprised by what he had said.

"I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you and for being a bad mate." He said slowly trailing off.

"I-I just don't want to end up hurting you."

"What do you mean?" I asked cautiously.

"You'll know when the time comes my mate." He slowly stood up and made his way back to the house.

"No!" I said standing up and facing him.

"You can't do that, you can't just come out here and apologize for being a bad mate and expect me to say it's okay when you haven't even given me a chance!"

He stopped walking and just stood there with his back facing me.

"I know I haven't been the best mate either but you can't keep doing this to me. You give me false hope thinking that one day I'll really be yours" I stated and my voice started shaking.

"That day you kissed me in the kitchen I thought that meant something to you. But I guess I was wrong." After I said that he turned around and it looked like he was having a battle with himself.

"I want do but I'm just afraid of what I'll do to you." He stated after a while.

"That's what you always say Luca." With that I made my way back into the house and into my room.

A little while after Lucas came back into the house. He made his was upstairs and I heard his footsteps stop at my door. I felt my heart rate pick up in hopes that he would do something. Then I heard a low knock and the door opened up. My back was facing him so I didn't know if he knew I was awake or not.

He slowly made his way towards my bed and sat down at the edge.

"I know you're awake. And I know I have a lot of explaining to do. But I just- I really don't want to hurt you and I know that doesn't justify my actions but you just, you make me feel a way I've never felt before and that scares me."

I kept still and didn't say anything. Then I felt him lay his hand on my arm and slowly turn my body toward him.

"Please. I know this is hard for you but it even harder for me. Knowing my mate practically hates me it tears me apart inside."

Hearing him say those words made me realize just how harsh I've been on him the past few weeks.

"Just please be patient and give me a chance."

I slowly sat up and looked at him. Waiting for him to say something else. But then I just couldn't help myself.

I slowly started leaning in and so did he. We stopped just right before our lips touched. His hands slowly made their way to my waist pulling me closer and mine to the back of his neck.

He took this as the chance to close the rest of the space between us and placed his lips onto mine. Slowly our lips moved in sync and it felt like time had stopped.

He slowly pulled away and smiled at my breathlessly. He unwrapped his arms from around me and slowly got back up. He kissed my forehead before making his way towards the door.

"I'll give you time. But you also need to let me help you Luca. I want to love you just as much as you want to love me."

He nodded slowly and smiled before making his way out of my room and down the hallway to his room.

I really hope he tries to make this work.
