Chapter 17

Lia POV

The room was silent, dead silent, gunshots continued outside until they died down, and all this time I stood by the back of the library shelf. My back was pressed against the shelf.

They came to get me, maybe use me as bait to make Dean do something for them since he was my mate. What they did not know was that Dean hated me.

He would see their attack as good riddance to bad rubbish but that was not my main problem.

The main issue for me was that I had a mate. A mate from an enemy pack. I did not know what position he obtained in the pack.

All I knew was that he saved me, he let me leave and he promised to get me.

This meant that in no time, there might be a war between two packs just because of me. Not because Dean cared but because it would hurt his ego to let another take his Luna.

After all, he did not have a Luna.

The door clicked open, and someone entered inside. I peeped through the frame and it was Luca.

"Lia, are you here?" He whispered looking around still pointing his gun in every possible direction his gun could go.

"Luca!" I answered with a smile, my voice low. He turned around and caught sight of me.

I expected him to walk towards me and ask me if I was okay. Instead, he walked back to lock the door.

Then he walked towards me quickly. He stood at my front staring at me. His eyes were darker than usual.

"Are you hurt?" he asked as his eyes moved around my body causing heat at every part he played his sinful eyes on.

I shook my head "I'm fine. They were not able to catch me" I lied easily.

If he learned about my mate's appearance he might not be pleased because he was from an enemy park.

"Are you sure?" He asked again, this time his hot palms cupped my cheek as he examined my face.

"Yes," I replied in a whisper.

"Who were the people who attacked us?" I asked in a whisper because he was too close to me. I could not think.

He drifted backwards as if he too noticed my reaction.

"They are from the Bloodhound Pack. They claimed our Alpha killed their luna a long time ago and they always make sure they kill every luna. They come across"

My heart sank into my chest as he explained their intention. It meant that sooner than later they would come for me and if they could, they would kill me.

My skin turned pale with fear, and I took in shaky breaths. What have I gotten myself into?

As if Luca noticed my worry, he took my palm into his own hands. "Lia, we will protect you. You will be fine. We would not let them attack you again. Thank God that Finn did not see you. We would have been in trouble "

At the mention of Finn's name, I almost fainted. Like my knees got weak and I had to hold on to him for a while before I got stable.

"Lia, is something wrong?" Luca asked, his voice filled with concern.

I shook my head "I'm fine. It seems as if I am still in shock" I replied.

He heaved a sigh of relief. "You can come and sit down," he said

"Are they gone?" I asked just to be sure.

"Yes, they left immediately they did not see you although they shot Dean, he will recover," he said with a smile.

"Who is Finn to the pack," I asked with a plain voice as I tried to hide my fear or the excitement that came with the memory of him.

"Oh, he is the Lycan's son," Luca answered, his eyes reduced to a split as he stared at me. "You seem so interested in him lia" he noted

"Oh. Nothing, because I heard someone call Finn when they passed through here" I replied as I tried to balance my voice.

"Thanks to the moon goddess that he did not see you. Come let's go" he said, leading the way.

As we walked towards our corridor, I stopped on my track. My mind went to Dean and I could not help but wonder how he was.

"Let me see Dean," I said and made my way towards the stairs, Luca's hands gripped me.

"Why, I thought you said you did not care about him," he asked, his voice low with dark eyes.

I shrugged"He is my Alpha, and I am his Luna" I replied.

His grip tightened his grip around my hands as he drew me closer."For context he is not your Alpha. You have not yet found your mate" he warned his voice deep with unknown anger.

If only he knew I had found my mate or that Finn was my mate.

"Have you found yours?" I asked him. He furrowed his eyebrows "Your mate" I added

"Yeah but she died?" he answered with sad eyes

"I'm sorry what killed her," I asked.

He chuckled dryly as if he was unentertained "Your question should be who killed her"

"Who?"

He gave me a creepy smile"Dean. So I leaked his mother's whereabouts to Finn and he killed her"

My eyes widened in shock. No wonder the Alpha sent him away."So that was why you, the Alpha asked you to leave somewhere else?"

He nodded with pride"Yes"

Cold feet eloped me. What if he also wanted to kill me to avenge Dean? Maybe he thought we would be re-mated"Why are you telling me this?"

He shrugged"Because you should consider yourself lucky that you are not Dean's mate"

"Now go to your room" he ordered.

I nodded and quickened my steps towards my room. Everyone around this place was so weird and they had different goals.

I entered my room and locked the door, I switched on the light

Someone was on my bed, no not someone, Finn was on my bed, completely shirtless.

"Hello mate," he said with a creepy smile.
