Alpha Luka And His Human Mate

Chapter 19

Victoria's pov

Three weeks flew by a little too fast that I didn't even notice. Everything was happening so quickly. The pack was getting ready for another barbecue and Ashley's 'induction' was being planned.

Her observation period practically ended since the first week she came; they had no real reason not to trust her. Apparently due to the mate bond, Caleb would be able to detect if she was being dishonest when she told us the rest of her story.

Since then, Emma, Ashley and I have become like the power puff girls. We were almost always together that Caleb was starting to get jealous.

Turns out, Ashley is the total opposite of Emma and I. When I first met her, I totally misjudged her personality. Instead of being the bold, sassy person I thought she was, she was actually really quiet and sweet. Not saying that Emma and I aren't sweet, but she was like a baby.

Mama bear even stopped giving me death glares. She gave simple greetings the few times when she came around. She even asked me to help the ladies with the barbecue. I still don't trust her, but it was nice to know I wasn't surrounded by wolves that hate me.

Things have been practically going great, and Luka and I went back to normal after a week or so. I started going to his room again to chat and eat late night snacks.

We didn't mention the kiss, ex boyfriends or his mate. We just simply acted like none of it happened. Actually, he acted like nothing happened, I just went along with it since we were back to normal.

I, on the other hand, had other plans. I tried finding out more about Ella, but every effort was made null. Anytime I asked someone, they would get tense and say 'It's not their story to tell', which I understood but ugh.

But I had a plan which I was executing at this very moment.

Hearing the bell to the diner's door ring, I snapped my head up with a smile when I saw Lincoln walking through. He made his way to me with a confused look on his face.

I left him a note in a place that only he would find, telling him to meet me here at one. I knew he would call and ask why, so I wrote that it's very important and can only be discussed face to face. I also told him that he should run here, since I had to drive.

I knew he was the only one who would come without questioning my request.

"What's wrong Victoria?" He asked, seeming worried. I gave him a guilty smile because I knew he was probably worried as hell.

"I wanted to talk about... " I trailed, giving him a sweet apologetic look. "Ella". I squeaked, turning my head to the side.

He gave me a look that I dreaded getting the whole time I waited here.

"Victoria I told you before that-"

"I know it's not your story to tell, but come on please." I pleaded with puppy dog eyes. "I think we both know I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, and I can't live with the suspense."

"So ask him. I'm not telling you like this. He'll kill me Vic, you're obviously not right in the head."

"If you think I'm sane, you just don't know me well enough," I stated nonchalantly. He just stared at me like I was indeed insane.

"Okay look Lincoln, I won't tell him that you told me." I tried to reason with him but he just shook his head saying no.

Well, time for plan B.
