The Wolf In Me

Chapter 37: Part 2 Beasts on the loose

Luka's POV

 

"Luka, Luka," I heard from a distance as I was in deep thought, sitting at the edge of my bed.

 

"Luka," I heard again, now lifting my head towards Mei that was trying to shake me off my foggy daydream.

 

"What happened? I need to know. You haven't been yourself since...." She stopped there, trying to avoid mentioning the unexplainable death of my stepmother.

 

"Look, you can't stay in the same room forever. You are the King alpha of not just our pack, but of every wolf around the world. You cannot look like this," She encouraged, lowering herself down to my side.

 

She gently held her hand over my bicep and back, trying to give me the strength to move on. But I felt guilty, guilty for not being there, protecting the person that stood right behind me until I left her, abandoned and alone.

 

"It's my fault, what happened to her. It's my responsibility. She was fine before I shut her off completely from my life," I expressed, holding myself from tearing up for the millionth time.

 

"There was nothing you could do, Luka. You know that. No one can stand against demons. They fear no one, except themselves. Nothing would have stopped them from victimizing their target."

 

Her words didn't mean anything to me. I was determined to find their weakness and I swore to death that I will not stop until they are convinced to go back to where they belong; in hell.

 

"We'll see about that," I mumbled raising my eyes towards hers. "No one presumed we would face the vampires and be Victorians, but we did, and now, it is the demons' turn to be convinced to turn their sorry tails back to where they belong," I urged, standing up feeling the energy to get into action abruptly.

 

"What are you planning? Don't forget you have a son on the way. Don't bring any unnecessary attention to our quiet home," Mei said, now standing beside me frowning.

 

"They will not dare to do so. They are not welcome here! Never were and never will be," I replied, standing up from the bed, strolling towards the window to look at the bright sun outside.

 

I folded my arms to my chest and watched for a while until I remembered I had a meeting with Jake regarding some activity ideas he had to come up with for the coming months.

 

Mei's POV

 

Luka has not been himself for quite a while. I have just opened my bedroom door and he was sitting on the bed, drowned in his thoughts. I needed to shake him off his feet and remind him of his duties as alpha and as King. He left the room in a rush, remembering that he had to plan for some activities with Jake. Unfortunately, our wedding plans have got into a halt for some time as he was still feeling guilty for his mother's death.
