Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Luca's Predicament

The Lycan's Soul MateWords: 5759

Luca walked into his classroom and took a seat in the back. He smiled

to himself as he listened to the chattering of the girls and the envious

comments from the guys in his classroom as used his enhanced hearing

abilities that was natural to him. One girl practically walked into her

locker while staring at him. Luca laughed to himself for he didn’t know

that attending college with humans would be so amusing. He really

would have to be extra careful as he could see that he would require no

effort to get laid here.

His professor walked in and he thanked the goddess that he was not a

female as this was way too much attention for one man. You would

think that people came here to learn but to Luca it seemed like a whole

buffet for choosing a mate well partner as humans don't use the term

mate. He was actually grateful that Nancy had set him up with

Soccorah. Initially he didn't think it necessary but apparently, he was

wrong.

Come to think of it Soccorah would do good at passing the time as she

was very beautiful, with those green eyes that are to die for and her

perfectly shaped body. He couldn't complain. Nancy always had his

best interest at heart. The hookup with Soccorah would be ok for now

. that is until she finds someone that she wants to get serious with. He

didn't realize that this many girls would be interested in Business

Administration. Females actually formed the majority of his class.

Luca was Heir to a billion-dollar Yachting conglomerate. After his

mother passed away, they elected a temporary CEO as Luca was still

underage. His father was more into the pack and ensuring that our

secret remained a secret. He was involved in the business but as it was

my mom's family business he chose to not be too deeply involved. This

was something that Luca never understood about his dad. Luca only

recently acquired his voting rights and could now sit in on meeting with

the board of directors.

This had tremendously influenced Luca's decision to study business as

he was never one to sit around and let persons do his work for him. He

wanted to make his family proud. His father worried that he would not

be able to handle the burden of leading the pack and managing his

business. Luca was never really that interested in leading the pack but

had to take on that responsibility as he was his father’s only child.

He secretly prayed that the moon goddess would smile upon his father

once more and bless him with a son to lead the pack. He would then be

relieved of this burden. But one cannot force love. His father was after

all a handsome man and still very young at that. There was still hope.

Luca chose to not give up on this wish. He was brought back to reality

by the sound of a young Jock's voice asking him whether he signed up

for the wrestling team.

“No, I play basketball and run track.” He answered. “Too bad" the boy

replied with a disappointed look on his face. Luca possessed super

human strength and knew that it would be too easy to hurt a human so

he chose to keep away from sports that highlighted strength and

violence. Now he not only had to be careful with the girls and their

raging hormones but he now had to worry about not hurting the guys.

But it was all worth it. He persuaded his father to put his trust in him

and he was not one to go back on his word or fall short. Maybe if he

did well, he could persuade his dad to let him stay closer to the city. He

did love their home in the edge of the woods where his pack was

located but he loved it here also. He was half human after all. If only his

father would choose a new mate, then all his troubles would be over.

Luca never thought that he would have to listen to himself thinking that

but it is about time. It's been a little over 8-years since his mom passed

away. His dad was a man and he has needs. Hell! He was only 17 and

was already drawn to someone he saw in his dream when he first

shifted. His beautiful white wolf.

Just then the professor interrupted his thought to begin the class.

Business law was an integral part of his course but what he wasn't

looking forward to was Spanish as a second language. While he could

understand the importance of learning a second language especially

given his family’s business, he was not good at Spanish. He would

definitely be needing some help in that area.

He wondered how Soccorah was doing in her anatomy class. He smiled

to himself as he knew how much she hated Anatomy which was strange

as it was necessary for her Nursing major. She also had Spanish as a

second Language. He had it at 3:30 for a whole hour. How was he

going to survive that class? Maybe if he sat next to Soccorah she could

help him or distract him.

“I would like a 1000-word essay on “the legal limitations and

conditioning factors of Business Law.” This will be due next week

4:00PM. No excuses.” His lecturer stated. “The hell is wrong with this

Guy? Who gives an assignment on the first day not to mention the first

class of the day!” He frowned to himself. Some sighs and soft whispers

could be heard but no one dared to challenge the professor. Luca

thought to himself what a challenge this would be for him with the full

moon only 4 days away. He had already started to feel it's pull. During

the full moon he would not be able to control his shifts. He would have

to spend his nights as a wolf and Wolves could not write papers. Luca

Sighed deeply as he knew that he would have to get to work

immediately if he didn't want to miss this deadline. “Bummer” he

thought to himself as he left the class. He had 2 free periods then his

Spanish class after Lunch. He walked over to the library to get started

on his essay. This was really going to be tough to juggle 2 lives. But it

had to be done.
