Luke walked out of the castle and spotted Persie standing on the side, using his cell phone. Seeing him made Luke feel better as he believed that Persie still had feelings for him.
However, Luke knew he didn't have any romantic feelings for Persie. He was just concerned about Persie getting closer to Cole. Luke felt a bit competitive with Cole, but it had nothing to do with Persie.
Even though kissing Persie felt good, it didn't change Luke's feelings for him. Persie was still the same narcissistic, selfish, and manipulative omega as before. Luke felt that Persie was also jealous and cruel to Evander.
He didn't understand why Persie kept pretending to be someone he wasn't. Although he enjoyed kissing Persie, he knew that Persie had mistreated Evander, who he considered his little brother.
Luke shook his head and reaffirmed that his feelings for Persie hadn't changed, and he was only competitive with Cole.
