"We are going out for my birthday," Luca announced."So, I heard," Xan said as a matter of fact, giving me the eye."I am also going to ask your Shamika to put a block on his mind. It is unfair that you are in his head," Luca added and brushed past her."Are you insane?" Xan grabbed him by the arm."Then what do you suggest?" Luca questioned. Challenging her."No one can know!" Xan's voice came with a warning."Why not?" Luca challenged her again. "Look at him. He is a hunk.""All the good looks in the world do not change the fact that he is wolfless. What will the Lycans think of me?" Xan exclaimed."You know what. It is my birthday. You have until tomorrow to come up with a plan to get out of his head," Luca said and grabbed my hand, pulling me to walk with him.Of course, Xan followed us like a love-sick puppy."You are not coming with us," Luca stopped her in her tracks."Why not? I am your girlfriend!" she exclaimed, fuming with anger."You declared yourself my girlfriend. I warned you not to fall in love," Luca attacked her. His voice scared me a bit."Are you kidding me?" Xan exploded."You have been staying at my pack for three fking years! We have been fcking for three fking years!" Xan came at him strong. She part-shifted and grabbed him by his throat. "I am a Luna Alpha! You'd better remember that.""Calm down, ok. You can come with," Luca retreated. At first, I didn't know why, but then I noticed her other hand also clawed around his package.Satisfied with his response, she let go of his crotch first before forcing a kiss on his lips. He kissed her back before slamming her against the opposite wall. He ripped her clothes off and passionately responded to her. "I love it when you are mad," he exclaimed before kissing her again, his hands moved smoothly over her body. He raised her one leg, digging his fingers into her thigh. Right in front of me, he thrusted into her. I watched his muscles go stiff in his rear end. Damn, he had a good body. I wasn't sure if I wanted to be him or her. I wanted to be both of them. They didn't seem to care about me watching them. I felt my groin stir at the sight of them, and I knew my thoughts satisfied Xan. It satisfied her that I wanted her. She opened her eyes and looked me dead in the face. I could not take my eyes off hers. She had me locked in.'Eat your heart out, baby,' I heard her say, but her lips weren't moving."What?" I questioned, half confused.Luca didn't care to respond; he was too busy taking care of his orgasm in a selfish way.'He is mine,' I heard her voice again and again, her lips didn't move.'I think I can hear your thoughts,' I thought.'What?' she mind linked me again. I watched as Luca finished inside of her.'I can hear your thoughts,' I repeated.Still half-naked, she grabbed me around the throat. "What am I thinking right now?""That you didn't orgasm yet," I responded, grabbing her arm that was attached to the hand around my throat.Her eyes flashed to Luca, who was chuckling.He stood behind her and slipped his hands around. He cupped a breast, and with the other hand, he caressed her womanhood. His voice came sweet against her ear. "I dare you to let him finish you off."Xan didn't respond, but her mind was responding to his fingers on her womanhood. "Take it from me, knowing each other's minds will result in the greatest sexual experience ever."My mind was blank. I didn't have any thoughts. I was just focusing on hers."In your dreams," Xan finally spat and let go of me. I watched her tremble as Luca brought her to climax with his fingers."It could be you," he told me, looking at me. I licked my lips. I adjusted my pants. I was so stiff and needed a release."Permission to relieve myself?" I asked politely."Permission not granted," Luca teased."Let's go, time to party," Luca said and pulled me towards the door, leaving Xan to adjust her clothing.In my mind, I saw that Xan was an emotional roller coaster. I also saw that she regretted giving me to Luca. Not in a way that she wanted to keep me for herself, but in the way that she would rather have me dead than have Luca do anything sexual with me.Instead of getting into Xan's pickup truck, we got into a sleek sports car. Of course, I had to get into the back. I was way too tall for the back, but did Xan care? I felt her inner joy at my discomfort. Spiteful."Are you ok back there?" Luca asked with a chuckle."Comfortable. My knees are not touching my ears at all," I responded back jokingly."Maybe stop pissing Xan off and she might let you sit next to me next time," Luca teased, looking over Xan."Over my dead body," she snorted."Could be arranged," Luca responded. I swear the guy has no filter.I saw Xan's hand reach for his crotch."I am kidding. Bloody hell, woman. Chill out already," Luca quickly said."That is what I thought," Xan smirked.'What kind of hold does she really have over him?' I dared to think.'Would you love to know,' her mind linked came in sharp, catching me off guard.Gonna take some time getting used to that."We can turn him into a vampire, then the fated mate bond will be broken," Xan said out of nowhere."Not a chance," Luca objected."Why the hell not?" Xan wanted to know in a high-pitched voice."I like him, and if he becomes a vampire, we never get to see him again," Luca pouted."Fine by me," Xan stated."I am serious. I like him," Luca said firmly and grabbed her hand before she could reach his crotch."Do that again and you will lose that pretty hand," he warned her."And you, your head," she lashed back.While they were bickering over me, I was frantically searching her mind for answers. I wanted to know what hold she had on Luca. But I got nothing. She obviously knows how to block someone from her memories."What hold does she have on you?" I dared to break up their bickering."Right now, my balls," Luca chuckled, making it clear he was not going to let me in. Xan shot her head backwards at me, giving me a warning look. Of course, I responded by rolling my eyes at her.We pulled up to another pack. I recognized Alpha Eric.Great. I was hoping for a different pack in the hope to either find Nebra, since I already knew Alpha Eric didn't catch her. It was clear this pack had many wolfless slaves. Mostly females."Happy birthday, Luca," Alpha Eric grabbed him the moment he got out of the car."Thanks, Dad," Luca chuckled.'Dad?' I mind linked Xan.'Yes, Dad,' Xan responded.'If he knows Luca is with you, why did he want me?' I mind linked her, deciding I will stay in the car.'To bait him back here,' Xan's mind linked me and rested against the car."Came to trade me?" Alpha Eric teased."Eff off," she retorted.Alpha Eric hunched over and looked through the window at me. "Come on out.""No thanks. I am all good," I declined, not sure if I am even allowed."Get out, Lumin," Luca compelled me.I got out against my will. Alpha Eric walked over to me and gave me a look over.I wondered if I should ask him about Lebra.'Don't you dare,' Xan gave me a warning mind link.'Why the hell not?' I mind linked back, half furious.'Because I say so,' Xan told me off her mind link final."Why are you home? I know it is not to visit your old man?" Alpha Eric chuckled, grabbing Luca around his neck in a playful manner."Wanted to feed before a night out," Luca admitted."Why? You have a drink right there." Alpha Eric looked over at me."I didn't like the collar marks on his neck, so I gave him my blood," Luca confessed."You always had a soft spot for the wolfless," his father shook his head in disappointment.'His mother was a wolfless,' Xan mind linked me.'Oh,' I responded.'What? You thought you were special?' She mind linked me but chuckled out loud.'Why are you constantly in bitch mode?' I lashed out at her in private.'This is your last warning. You will show respect for me,' Xan shot me a warning look.I almost rolled my eyes at her, but stopped myself.'Sorry,' I send a mind link.We both waited at the car for Luca to have his feed. While waiting, I observed that all the wolfless looked well-treated except for the new one that was tied to a pole in the center."Hi, Luca," a wolfless girl greeted me. I don't even remember her name, but I do remember how she moaned when I was between her legs."Sorry you got caught," she added."Me too," I chuckled, still not having come to terms with it.'Stop feeling sorry for yourself,' Xan's mind linked me. She clearly didn't like weak people.'I saw earlier that you got a hard-on for Luca. How?? If you are into women?' Xan mind linked me.'I don't know. Maybe a vampire thing?' I responded with a question.'That is not possible unless they compel you, and he did not compel you to like him in a sexual way,' she informed me, and that got me thinking. Why did I respond to him like that? Why is he giving me butterflies? Why do I rather want him right now then any other woman I've had before?
