Alpha Luka And His Human Mate

Victoria's pov

Luka was tense the whole way. It was like he was already regretting letting me stay with him. All he told me was that he lived with his brother, sister and two friends, Caleb being one of them. I was confused as to why he invited me to stay with him and then was having second thoughts.

"You know if you're having second thoughts..." I dragged, giving him a hint. He glanced at me then shook his head.

"No it's okay. It's the least I can do since you saved my life" Well I haven't completely saved it yet.

I simply smiled, telling him thanks silently but said nothing else.

The ride was long and deep in the woods. He wasn't lying when he said it was far. We were driving for almost an hour since we hit the woods and I haven't seen anything yet.

I looked at him again and it looked like he was having one of those arguments with himself again. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his jaw clenched now and then. His expression changed from time to time, like one you had when you're in a heated argument.

I felt kinda bad, but I told him countless times that he didn't have to accommodate me, but he was the one who insisted.

"Aren't you going to inform your family that I'm coming?" I noticed I didn't see him make a phone call. As much as it was his house too, I think it appropriate that he inform the others, out of respect.

"I already did" He said in a surprisingly calm tone, completely contrasting to his facial expression.

"When?"

"Don't you worry your pretty little head about that" He chuckled lightly. I guess he called when I was packing maybe?

As we pulled into something that looked like a town, I couldn't help but wonder how I didn't know that there was a whole town in the woods. I don't think anyone knew.

Before we got in the town, a couple miles before, I noticed some men patrolling the area. Luka said they were border patrol, but he didn't elaborate. That seemed fair given that they are a secluded community just randomly living in the woods.

Maybe they were some tribe or something. Maybe that's the big secret? It must've been really hard for Luka to even bring me here. I should really give him a big warm hug to thank him for helping.

I love warm hugs, even though I'm not the mushy type. I don't have many people to share them with, making them much warmer and much needed when I actually got them.

But as my mind wandered to warm hugs, something else warm swamped my thoughts.

"I LEFT TWINKLE!!!!"

***

Twenty heated arguments and 3 hours later, we were on our way back to Luka's house with my precious Twinkle in my hand. We were back in the town that I saw before I forced Luka to turn back for my cat, except it was now dark and I was exhausted.

I kept my head against the window with my eyes closed, while Twinkle kept hissing at Luka every couple minutes. Maybe she blamed him for making me leave her. I held her tight because I was not planning on meeting in an accident, and from the looks of it, he was terrified. It was kinda cute if you asked me.
