章 106: The sacrificial lamb for tonight

"Then don't worry about my family. They might be strict, but they won't be able to control me anymore. I had worked this hard just so they wouldn't have a say in what I do."

Luca pursed her lips before she smiled, nodding in understanding. "Then, I trust you. Will you protect me if they don't like me?"

"You don't have to ask." Xander cupped her face lovingly. "They will like you. They won't have a choice."

There was a moment of silence between them, staring at each other in silence. If Xander could only think of the magical moment with her, Luca was thinking of another.

'What did he mean by that?' she wondered, multitasking in keeping her loving countenance whilst reviewing his remarks. 'They don't have a choice, but like her?'

Luca mentally narrowed her eyes, wondering about the pack's current status. As far as she knew, the elders of the pack still had control over Xander and the Kane family. After all, the chief elder was also a Kane.
