It was past midnight when we were able to go home. Honestly, I didn’t want to go home yet but Luke insisted on it especially when the Mayor’s daughter kept wanting for his attention.
After taking a quick shower, I dried my hair and went straight to bed to rest, but sleep was elusive. I kept remembering the moment when Luke kissed another woman in the garden, and I could hear my wolf whimpering in pain. It felt like a silent rejection!

While overthinking about such matters, the door suddenly creaked open and he entered. He turned on the light as if he knew that I was still awake. For a moment, I wondered why he was so confident in walking inside when in the first place, he shouldn’t!
“Are you okay? You look sick, Isabella,” he asked and there was a hint of concern in his voice.
“I’m fine, Luke. Just leave so that I can sleep now,” I ordered.
“Oh, alright. I am just worried,” he said.
As he said those words, I tried my best to conceal my feelings for him. “You don’t have to worry about me. Just focus on the mayor’s daughter. She likes you.”
“I know,” he replied.

“So, do you like her too?” I asked and when he didn’t respond right away, I assumed it was the kiss.
Regardless of how he claimed to make me his woman, I didn’t believe he would do it. Besides, my Dad wouldn’t allow it. I was already engaged to someone else, to a man he claimed wouldn’t mind having me as his wife.
“Goodnight, Isabella,” he said but before leaving, he kissed my forehead, and my eyes widened in shock.
I wished he hadn’t done it!

Once he was gone, I touched my forehead and I felt warmth all over. Was it a mate sickness? Or was I just jealous that he touched another woman? Therefore, instead of sleeping, I looked up at the ceiling and asked myself what I should do next.
I didn’t want to feel jealousy again but I couldn’t avoid Luke at the moment because Dad hired him to watch over me. But, was he aware that he was my mate? Probably not, because he didn’t mention anything about it. But why was he oblivious to the fact that he’s my mate now? Should I just reject him right away? I would break a part of my soul, so as much as I could, I didn’t want to do it.
Since I couldn’t sleep, I rolled over from bed and went outside. Luckily, Luke wasn’t there, so I went straight to the kitchen to look for something to eat, but then, I was taken aback when I saw Luke there, and he was obviously enjoying the food in his plate. As I observed him chewing his food, his jaw looked extraordinarily sexy to me.
At that moment, I realized that I was deeply attracted to him as a man. I was so sure about it. When he looked up and saw me, he smiled and gestured for me to come closer to him.
Shyly, I sat next to him, then he stood up to get a plate for me. Then, I was surprised to see a sizzling meat on it. It was a heavy meal in the middle of the night, but I couldn’t refuse it. So, I started slicing the meat and took a bite. It was exquisite! But then, while eating, I felt his piercing eyes on me, so I lifted my head and stared back at him.
“Why are you gawking me with those eyes, Luke?” I asked but he just gave me a smirk as he bit his lips. I wished he would do it in front of me. What’s wrong with him?
“For someone who looked unwell earlier, you have a good appetite, Isabella,” he mentioned so I glared at him.
“I am not unwell, Luke. I just had a lot of chocolate last night and it wasn’t good for me,” I informed him.
“Yeah, I saw you having a great time at the chocolate fondue with Jimuel,” he snapped.
“He was just being nice to me when you left me alone and started being cozy with his sister,” I told him.
“Jimuel was nice? How come?”
“What’s wrong with you Luke? You said you saw me with him last night. Didn’t you see how friendly he was at the party?”
“Jimuel means trouble, Isabella. You shouldn’t meet him again,” he warned me.
“He means trouble? What do you mean by that? He is just an ordinary human being!”
“He is on drugs, and there are rumors about him harassing women after getting them drunk,” he said.
“Do you think he will be able to harass me, Luke?” I asked for his opinion because he was worried for nothing.
“No, I don’t think so, as long as I am always with you, Isabella.”
When he said those words, I wanted to scream with joy, but then I recalled how he kissed that damn woman in the garden and I frowned immediately. To hide how I truly felt at the moment, I just lowered my head and focused on my food.
The following morning, I woke up early as always to warm up my body for the training. But after breakfast, Luke asked Dad for his permission to take me to the city again. Without any hesitation, Dad agreed and I wondered why Luke had so much authority in the house. To me, it seemed like Luke was more powerful than my Dad!
“What about the training?” I asked while walking behind him toward the garage.
“We can do it some other time. Besides, your wolf needs a lot of rest, Isabella.”
“Where are you taking me this time, Luke?”
“My place,” he replied.
