Chapter 58: Luca's plight

Author's note: This is from Luca's point of view

I knew that this was coming, and I thought that I was ready, yet when it happened, the only thing I could do was watch Zoe running away into the forest.

My mate looked at me like I was unwanted. That was not Zoe I knew.

I saw Zoe happy, timid, nervous, scared, excited, but she would always look at me like I'm her safe place, a place where she can be whoever she was at that moment.

This was not right. This is NOT how things were supposed to happen.

Actually, since the blood oath, my whole world flipped.

The energy surge I felt a week ago, powered up not only my senses but my wolf, Shadow, as well.

When I came out of my daze, I heard him shout in my head, 'MATE!'

'What? Are you sure?'

I remember looking around.

Other than Serina, Calista, and Zoe, there was no other female present.
