Livianaâs POV
âYou okay, loveâ Luan asked softly as he reached out to hold my hand.
I gave him a small smile.
âOf courseâ I said and he kissed my hand making me smile.
Weâre currently on our way home.
Fortunately, the breakfast meet up was canceled due to the Kingâs sudden schedule.
Luckily for me, I donât have to see him again for the mean time.
I snuggled into Luanâs chest and napped the rest of the ride.
After a while, we reached the pack house and Luan woke me up with k****s on my face.
I chuckled as I pushed his face away from mine.
âYou guys should just get a room or somethingâ Abe complained again.
I laughed while Luan just ignored him.
Luan and I got out of the car and got our stuff while the Haymes siblings went back to their place.
We intertwined our hands as we walked inside of the pack house.
âLivi!â Ellie squealed as she ran up to me.
I let go of Luanâs hand as I caught Ellie in my arms and spun her around.
Ellie giggled as she hugged me.
âI missed youâ Ellie said sweetly. I smiled.
âI missed you more, little oneâ I said as I booped the tip of her nose with mine.
Ellie gave me a k**s on the cheek as she hugged me by the neck.
âWhat about me?â Luan said and we turned to look at him.
Ellie giggled as she leaned forward to him and gave him a k**s on the cheek.
âThanks, Ellieâ Luan smile and slightly pinched her cheeks.
Theresa came out of the kitchen and saw us.
âYou guys are backâ she said as she approached us with a smile.
âHave you guys ate yet?â Theresa asked and we nodded.
âIâll go and prepare something for the both of you before you go up ang restâ Theresa said we nodded.
âThank youâ I said and Theresa smiled as she went back to the kitchen.
We sat down the living room with Ellie playing on my lap.
Then, Edmond came in.
He turned to look at us and bowed his head.
âYouâre backâ he said.
âHowâs the pack?â I asked.
âThe pack is just as you left it, Alphaâ he told me. I nodded.
âGoodâ I said.
âBy the way, whereâs my uncle? I need to talk to him about somethingâ I asked.
âIâm not sure, Alpha. He left really early in the morning today. He said he needed to do something importantâ Edmond said.
My brows furrowed curiously.
âDo you know where he went?â I asked.
Edmond shook his head.
âHe didnât tell me. He just said heâd be leaving and would probably come back in the afternoon since he was expecting you to come back just thenâ he told me.
I sighed and nodded.
Edmond left againand Theresa came with our food.
âWhat were you going to talk about with your uncle?â Luan asked curiously.
âJust some pack stuff. Iâm planning on improving and changing training and I wanted him to help Alex with itâ I lied.
That wasnât the main reason.
Luan nodded.
âWhy are you suddenly changing your pack membersâ training?â he asked again.
âI want them to be prepared for anything and everything. Weâve recently been targeted by so many people and I donât want them to be in dangerâI told him
It wasnât exactly a lie.
I did want to prepare my people for anything and everything that might happen.
âWell, your pack is the strongest in the territory after all. And it keeps growing and improving as you lead themâ Luan said proudly.
I chuckled.
He sounded like a proud parent than a proud boyfriend.
We finished up eating and gave back Ellie to her mom.
Then, we went upstairs and fixed our stuff before cuddling into bed together.
Traveling was extremely exhausting.
Itâs exactly why I donât go anywhere far from the pack house.
âHow are you feeling?â Luan suddenly asked as he caressed my hair.
âIâm okay for now. But until you actually tell me what happened, I wonât feel at easeâ I told him.
Luan sighed.
âI love you and Iâd trust you with anything and everything including my own life. But I donât want you to get involved with something that involves my father. Heâs⦠more than just wha meets the eyeâ he said.
My brows furrowed.
Does that mean that Luan knows what his father has done? Or atleast what heâs done in the past?
âAnyway, I was thinking about it. What do you want to name our first child if it was a boy?â be changed the topic.
I lifted my head up as I looked at him wide eyed.
âWhat?â he asked innocently.
I squinted my eyes at him.
âI mean we have to think of a name for the little one, donât we?â he said.
I stared at him baffled.
âHow are you even so sure that weâll have a child so soon?â I said with my brows furrowed in disbelief.
âWell, weâve done it twice without protection. Do you think weâll have twins?â he asked.
My jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Weâve done it twice without protection.
Weâve done it TWICE WITHOUT PROTECTION.
It was sinking into me now.
How could I forget? AGAIN.
How can I not have thought of protection?
My libido was off the the roof last night.
But how was I able to forget something so important?
âIf itâs a boy, donât you think Luan Jr. would be cute?â Luan voiced out.
I looked at him baffled.
âYouâ¦.you jerk! How can you let us do it without protection again?! What if I really do get pregnant?! Do you want me to walk around school with a big stomach?! Do you expect me to stop going to school?! Are you crazy?! How can you talk about this like itâs so easy?! Are you the one whoâs going to carry the child?! Are you the one whoâs going to give birth?! How am I supposed to fight off rogues with a bulging stomach?! How am I supposed to train with a living being inside of me?!â I ranted as I hit Luan on the chest.
Luan burst out laughing as he held and stopped my arms.
I glared at him.
âCalm down, baby. You sound like I ruined your lifeâ Luan chuckled as he pulled me to his chest and hugged me.
âYou b*st*rd. Do you even realize how complicated it is to have a child right now with everything thatâs happening?â I said with a frown.
âOf course. But donât you remember? Babies are blessingsâ he said and I looked at him in displeasure.
Luan chuckled as he caressed my head and planted a kisa on my forehead.
âDonât worry. Itâs not like Iâm not here for you, right? Whatever happens, Iâm here with you. Alwaysâ he assured me.
I sighed as I snuggled into him and we laid down in bed again.
We both ended up falling asleep.
I donât know how long we slept but I was the first one to wake up.
I carefully pulled away from Luan while he was sleeping and got out of bed.
I went to the bathroom and washed my face then headed towards the door.
As soon as I opened it, I saw my uncle.
âHeyâ he greeted with a smile and pulled me into a hug.
I hugged him back.
Then, he started to check me uo and down and front and back.
I chuckled.
âIâm fine, uncle. Iâm completely unharmedâ I said with a chuckle.
Dante sighed in relief.
âBut we do need to talk about somethingâ I said seriously.
Danteâs eyebrow furrowed curiously.
I motioned him to follow me to my office.
We went inside my office and I shut the door.
âSit downâ I said and pointed at my swivel chair.
Dante looked at me with an eyebrow raised.
âWhatâs with the serious expression? Did something happen?â he asked.
I sighed.
âYes. Now, sit downâ I demanded.
Dante sighed and sat down my swivel chair.
I put both my hands on the table as I stood in front of my uncle.
âI have a few questions and I want you to answer me honestly. I want a short and exact answer. You can explain to me later but for now, answer my question clearlyâ I said.
Dante looked at me curiously.
I took a deep breath.
âMy fathers are alive, correct?â I started.
Dante nodded.
âYes. The last time I saw them, they wereâ he answered.
I nodded.
âDo you know who captured them?â I asked again.
Dante froze and his jaw clenched.
âIâm not sure. I have a clue but I havenât confirmed it yetâ he said with a sigh.
I nodded in understanding.
I bit my lower l*p as I took another deep breath.
âIs it King Luis Grey?â I asked.
Dante looked at me in shock.
âH-how did youâ¦â he stuttered.
I looked down on the table as I closed my eyes tightly.
So it really is him.
âLiviana, how did you know that?â Dante asked as he stood up and went beside me.
âI saw themâ I said as I looked at Dante.
âI saw Pa and King Kale, my biological father. They were inside the palace. They were secretly hidden in an underground dungeonâ I said as my knees weakened but I gripped on the table tightly.
âInside the palace?â he asked with brows furrowed.
I nodded.
âThat means they moved themâ he stated and I looked at him confused.
âWhen I went to see them, I was almost caught. Maybe they moved them to somewhere more secureâ he explained.
Thatâs probably why he couldnât confirm if it was King Luis yet.
But now that theyâre really in the palace premises, itâs impossible that he doesnât have anything to do with this.
âDid anyone see you?â Dante asked worried.
I shook my head.
âOnly Pa and King Kale did. The other guards theyâ¦.they forgotâ I said.
Dante looked at me confused.
âThe moon goddess helped meâ I said as I raised my hand.
Then, Dante stood their in silence.
âIt really is King Luis Greyâ I said as I clenched my fists.
Itâs on.
