Alpha Luka And His Human Mate

Victoria's pov

"Everything."

He sighed as if gathering his thoughts, while I braced myself for the worst.

"Ella was my mate. She died a year ago" He whispered loud enough for me to hear while my heart broke for him.

I suddenly felt bad for resenting her so much, thinking she was a bad person for leaving her mate, when in reality she was actually dead.

"Luka you don't have to continue if you're not ready. Gosh I'm sorry I pushed it so much, I didn't know. Damn" I rambled out quickly while he just chuckled, shaking his head.

"It's okay Victoria. As I said, it was selfish of me to put you through that."

God what am I gonna do with this man?

"I met her when I was eighteen. I was thrilled and eager, so I took her home and marked her, claiming her as mine" He continued.

"What do you mean by you marked her?" Is that some kind of werewolf thing?

Oh my gosh did he pee on her?!

"A mark is a claim that a male wolf puts on his mate, to show unmated wolves to stay away, also mixing both of our scents" He explained slowly with a nervous look on his face.

"We do it by biting her in a very special spot on her neck" I winced as my hand automatically went to my neck as if I could feel it. "It hurts at first but then it becomes quite pleasurable" He added a little too quickly, as if he's trying to keep me on the positive side.

"So that's what happened to Ashley's neck?" I asked and he nodded.

I processed the new information then urged him to continue the story.

"She was my other half. I felt so complete and happy with her" He smiled and I felt a pang of jealousy run through me.

A very small part of me was actually glad that she's gone, and I felt like a bad person. ’Come on Victoria she's dead for Christ's sake have some remorse!’

"She was quite a character," he chuckled. "She was practically the opposite of you. Shy and collected, quiet and she was never the sassy type. Both your hearts are big the same though" He met my gaze and I frowned.

If she was the opposite of me, then I really had no chance with him. He is in love with her and her personality, so he would never feel the same way about me.

So why did Lincoln say I'm important to him?

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing" I denied quickly, giving him a fake smile. He didn't look convinced but he let it go.

"Anyways, I won't bore you with our love story" Bore me? More like torture me! "So I'll get right to it"

He paused, getting serious again. Why do I have a feeling this is gonna be bad?

"Ella was always into human things, so she would always come here to town and meet people, hang out and even just to get dinner. She was smart though, so she never risked our secret by befriending any of the humans. But one day, someone followed her almost half way into our territory" His jaw clenched and his eyes got dark.

I guess this was the hard part.

"I don't know how, but he already knew about us. So when he met her, he got suspicious about her and that's why he followed her. He somehow managed to mask his scent so she wouldn't detect him, and he saw her shift.

"Right then he made himself known and she was taken off guard by his presence, so she attacked him, knocking him out. She then brought him back to the Alpha house. She was crying so hard because she didn't know what to do. If it was any one of us, we would've killed him on spot given that he obviously had tabs on us. But Ella with her big heart..." He trailed off as he chuckled humorlessly.
