章節 191: Side Story: Luka [2]
Weeks after Erick and the co. returned from Rehan's mansion.
It has been days since Luka has come out of the house and played. Ever since his master got back from his mission, he always returned home, looking haggard and dispirited. He never has time for Luka as he usually went home and immediately went to bed. Other than going to that pretty female human's house, whom he likes to make goo-goo eyes at, he would be busy at his table, holding that stick and moving his hand.
One time, while its master was sleeping, Luka had jumped onto his table and gnawed at that tiny and light stick. It thought it was something to play with, seeing how his master likes to play with it, as well. But apparently, it was not since Luka got scolded, instead.
During the time Erick was busy with his mission at Rehan's mansion, Luka spent more time at the packhouse than at its own home with its Alpha family. It was because the Alpha and Luna were too busy to take care of it. Although it misses them, it enjoyed its time at the packhouse. Luka was quite surprised that the people inside have more or less the same scent as its family. But it still prefers its family's scent more. Especially Erick's.
However, ever since Erick had returned, Luka had felt something was different about its master. It could sense that he had become… more powerful. It was strange. What exactly did he do during the time he was not home?
And then one night, after Rehan's mansion mission, Luka was in Erick's room, where it was playing with its toys when Lachlan, Erick's father, walked in. He cajoled Luka to stop playing since he wanted to bring Luka over to the packhouse.
Luka thought they were going out for a walk and to have fun. Reality hurts when it got left behind at the packhouse with Roel while they continued their journey to who-knows-where.
Luka had been growling and barking after them. It was fortunate that Roel was strong enough to overpower a wolf like Luka as the latter picked the wolf up in his arms and brought Luka inside.
Hours later, while Luka was playing with some of the packmates, Roel had come over to guide him back out, saying that Erick had come to take him back.
When Erick finally came to pick Luka up, the latter felt something was amiss. The atmosphere around its master was dark and sad as he didn't even say a word to Luka. Just quietly thanked Roel and brought Luka to the car.
Inside the car, the tension was even more deep where one could cut the air with a knife. It bothered Luka as it whimpered closer to Erick.
Startled by the sudden brush from Luka, Erick looked down and just rubbed the top of its mane but still kept quiet.
Once they arrived at the house, Luka immediately ran to Erick's room. It could not stand the air around the three Kendall family members. He rolled around in front of Erick's bed before lying down on its stomach after finding a suitable position to sleep.
Few minutes later, Luka was in a dreamland, dreaming about meat, meat and meat when suddenly, it was startled awake by the loud groaning and thumping sound from the bed. (Please don't think 'weirdly' here).
Luka got up and saw its master lying on his back on the bed, his eyes closed, looking distressed. It immediately jumped onto the bed and began to lick Erick's face, hoping that the latter would not be so sad.
Oblivious to Luka's efforts to comfort him, Erick was lost in thoughts, trying to think of a way to make Amber's parents like him once more.
Just then, he suddenly sat up, jostling Luka off. Luka began to walk around Erick's and growled, as if to ask what was going on.
"I've a great idea, Luka!" Erick exclaimed. "Let's go to the packhouse and meet Roel!"
Luka doesn't really understand what Erick was saying but seeing how the latter was happy, Luka could only just jumped around and growled happily as well.
An hour later, they were at the packhouse where Roel was inside the kitchen of the mess hall, practicing his cutting skills. Just after the mission at Rehan's mansion, he returned back to his job. And because it has been awhile since he worked, he was a bit worried that his cooking skills might decline. So he usually spent some of his free time, cooking up the storm at the packhouse, much to the pleasure of the other packmates, who get to eat his delicacies.
He was about to chop more ingredients when a burst of wind named Erick came storming into the mess hall and straight to the kitchen. Luka only poked its head from the entrance before heading towards the other place.
Other than the Alpha family, the other favourite person of Luka was that sweet and pretty brown haired woman named Melody. Recently, she has been looking so sad that Luka was feeling a bit down too.
Seeing that the door to the doctor's office was ajar, Luka nudged the door open with its snout. Inside, Melody was sitting at her table, holding a photo frame in her hands. And apparently, she still looked so sad, looking down at the frame. Moving closer to her side, Luka saw it was a picture of her and a young grinning man.
As if she sensed Luka's presence, she placed the photo frame down on the table and turned to look down.
Her eyes widened when she saw it was Luka. She got down from her seat and down to her knees. She then opened her arms and hugged Luka. She pulled back and forced a smile on her face. "Luka, who brought you here?"
Obviously, since it could not answer and understand her, it could only growled.
Melody laughed lightly as she stood up. She then said, "Let's go and get some food for you."
Seemingly, the word 'food' was something Luka was familiarized with and love, its tail began to wag furiously, like a happy dog. The sight of a wolf wagging its tail made Melody laugh.
The woman and wolf walked their way into the mess hall and into the kitchen where they saw Erick talking animatedly with the quiet Roel, who seems to be listening to the young man while chopping some celeries.
Noticing that there were some sausages being set aside, Melody took a piece and fed Luka. Roel narrowed his eyes from the corner of his eyes when he saw his sister-in-law unceremoniously took something from him without his permission.
Ignoring the look from Roel, Melody continued to feed Luka more sausages.
Luka continued to bask under Melody's pampering and affection as it ate more.
Seeing that Luka was being fed by Melody, Erick frowned and then turned back to Roel and asked, "Hey, what about me?"
Roel frowned back. "Feed yourself," he said coldly.
Luka was oblivious to its master's envy as it enjoyed the food given to it. And this is why his favourite after the Alpha family was this young sweet woman.
