CHAPTER 33: THE FULL MOON

I stared at the sky with tears in my eyes, his words still ringing through my mind, Luca is never harsh, something sparked inside of him, something happened to his brother, something happened to his parents, nor the story we were told and it still haunts him till today.

I wiped my tears when my ears heard a growl again, and I stared at the sky, it was the full moon, the clouds were not very clear and the moon had freckles all over it, I stared at it when I came to a realization.

The anger he felt, the reason he had been behaving differently since we settled into the house, it’s coming, it’s coming now, and the growl I have heard.

I raced into the hallway.

"Hey- not now Aria," I yelled before running past her when I walked into the room, I found Luca on the floor.

He must have forgotten with everything that has been going on, I didn’t blame him, his mind could not have been there.

"Leave." Luca breathed out, my eyes filled with tears as I stared at him, I moved closer to him.

"Don’t, don’t come close to me, you need to get Ares right now," Luca yelled again, I moved toward his phone, to my surprise he didn’t have any password on it, when I sent Ares a quick message, not him or anyone else can come into the house, I don’t want anyone seeing him like this

"I want to help Luca." I breathed out, I moved toward him when he moved away, this time he was able to stand on his feet as he stared at me, when I tried to reach for him again.

He pushed me away and a scream escaped my lips as I fell to the ground, my head hitting the floor hard.

"You have to leave." He yelled again and I didn’t speak, he is trying to fight it, fight it long enough to head out of the room

I watched as he moved close to the door and I reached out to him when he pushed me away again, I have a feeling I know where he is going and he can’t be left alone.

I didn’t want to leave him. Luca is suffering, he is asking for help, I wanted to stay with him, I didn’t care about the bump on my head, I didn’t care that my hand is a bit bruised what I did care about is that I wanted him to be okay, I wanted to be there with him.

I watched as he was pulled out of the room and in that moment Aria walked in, I can’t deal with this.

"Can you not right now?"

"This is pathetic, don’t you think it’s pathetic, after he yelled at you, he pushed you away, I always knew he never truly liked you, how could he, you are an omega, one of the weakest types of work." She smirked, but I didn’t look at her.

I was calculating what I had to do, I needed to be with him.

"You watch your tongue." I breathed out.

"Why, God I am glad father is dead, he was never a decent are he and I wondered how he would feel if he ever found out that Luca is not the man you left the house for, the man you left the house for sold you to Luca, it’s even more pathetic that you are a slave to Luca." She smiled. "You should see the way he looks at me."

"How do you know that?" I asked, I moved closer to her, insisting that I had time for games, the anger that filled my body was much more than I could handle, her eyes were on mine when she gave me a smile.

"He told me, I guess he is a little chatty chatty." She smiled, she just confirmed that Conrad kidnapped them, Luca meant it when he said he is working with an enemy of his.

I didn’t expect that from Conrad yet again, I doubt I know him enough to even know what he could be capable of.

"You need to leave now Aria and whatever you saw here, you would not utter the word to anyone." I threatened, Luca would do the same for me, protect my image, my integrity.

"Or else." She smiled when I held my hand harshly.

"You would be on the streets, the wolves can kill you for almost anything and I would be done being the good sister that I am, you are in a place you should not be and you saw things you should nor have seen," I yelled.

Luca’s words were in my mind, the way he told me to be confident, find myself, that’s what I wanted to be, right now I felt a different type of anger over her.

"You are pathetic Olivia, look at you fighting for a man that wants nothing to do with you, Luca has always been mine, he shook me that night."

"He was a kid and so were you and now he wants nothing but your dead, you are the pathetic one for even thinking he would what to be with you, do you know what he told me when he found out you were kidnapped, he wanted to leave you to die, I begged him to to so if you are alive today because my ex husband wanted you dead is because of me not Luca and let this be the last time you wna a into my room, I am not the same Olivia, I am not the girl you use to bully to make yourself feel better, I am done with that, you heard Luca if you want o stay you, you have to be respectful and you have to believe that this is not your moms home where you can behave however you wanted," I yelled before moving away.

Right now, I just want to be with him.

Heading into his office, I found the panel open and the door leading to it, my feet felt cold as I headed into the place, it was cleaner than that place, the same cage stood in the middle of the room and there he was.

He had not changed, his eyes were bloodshot red, and he stared at me for a second as he placed the last chains that were attached to the wall.

"Luca." I breathed out, my eyes filled with tears as I stared at him, he didn’t deserve to go through this, he should not be in pain like this.

I moved closer to him.

"I have some time before I can’t hold it in again." He spoke and I inched into the cage. I settled on the ground and his head rested on my lap.

"Why do you have to go through this Luca?" I asked, and he didn’t speak, he only winced in pain, he wanted yo hold it back just to have a conversation with me, just to convince me to leave but I would nor, it didn’t matter what he had to say to me, it didn’t matter how many times he will say it, I would not leave.

"I don’t want to hurt you don’t you fucking understand:" he yelled and I shook my head. This time he pushed me away again, so gently so I would not hurt myself, even when he thought he was a monster; he still cared for me, even when he thought that he could not care for anyone. He still cared for me.

His eyes met mine again.

"That boy." I breathed out.

"I don’t want to hurt you, I don’t know how much more I can forgive myself for hurting anyone." He yelled and I didn’t budge, I heard the sound of him screaming again and my eyes filled with tears

I wanted to help him yet I can’t, no matter what I do, I am unable to help him, I am unable to make sure that he will be fine, I can’t protect him like the way he would do the same for me, I can’t help him like the way he always helped me.

"If you die because of me, I would consider myself dead too, I would rather be dead than not be here with you." He spoke and my eyes filled with more tears.

"Who did you kill Luca?" I asked, "Did you also hurt your Pamela when you turned into this monster, did they die in a fire and that boy?"

He didn’t speak, his eyes said it all, I don’t know what he did to them but that little boy, his eyes said it all, that’s why no one knew about it. He was killed.

"You killed your brother Luca," I asked again my breath hitches as he stared at me, he growled in pain and a tear slipped out of his eyes, the memory of what happened flashing through his eyes.

"I killed him," Luca confessed.
