Diana's POV

"Well, actually, I don't think my plan would work," I muttered under my breath.

Jay stared at me in shock as I finally for once proved myself not to be right about everything. I was soon off of his lap and next to a wall, observing every tiny detail.

"What?"

I licked my dry lips and faced Jay, who looked quite confused about my answer, waiting for some sort of elaboration.

What was I going to tell him? That I went to the Moon's pack on my own? What the hell was he going to think?

"I've already tried it, Jay,"

He was getting a bit irritated and cautious about everything that was spilling out of my mouth, but he kept his cool as best as he possibly could.

"What does that mean?"

"I uh, may or may not have gone to see Theo after our little fight. I was planning on having him become Alpha King and we could gain his trust. Seems like that is WAY out of the picture though."

Jay was immediately by my side and looked all over my body.

"What!?! Are you hurt? Did he touch you at all? Oh, I knew I should have gone after you!"

"Hey, hey he didn't do anything...he only choked me for a second but I handled it."

"HE WHAT!?!"

Oh crap. Okay, I needed to find a way to calm him down quickly before he makes a stupid decision like me.

"Jay, I am okay and I promise to never do anything that stupid again, I will always let you know if I am planning on doing something like that."

He sighed angrily but held me close like I was going to disappear at any moment.

Jay slowly bobbed us from side to side and he gave me small head kisses after every few seconds. I slowly scratched his back in a soothing motion.

"Please, don't ever do that again. I don't know what I would do if you died!"

The cell phone rang again, causing Jay to roar with fury. He wanted to make sure to I was okay without any disturbances.

A squeal left my lips as Jay picked me up with ease and walked back to his desk. The phone rang again, and again, and again. Jay harshly picked it up and slammed it to his ear roughly, speaking with pure hatred in his voice.

"Hello?" He grumbled.

A muffled voice spoke through the small device as Jay set me down on his desk so he was able to hug me better. My heart warmed at all of his affection and I didn't want it to stop, but he needed to know that I was okay.

I rest my chin on his shoulder, closing my eyes with happiness.

"I'm okay, I'm here," I whispered in his other ear, calming him down a few notches.

"Alpha Leo, nice to hear your voice again," Jay said with such confidence.

What did Alpha Leo want? It was quite strange that he decided to call us. Jay hovered over me, grabbing another sticky note and the pen we used last time. Jay scribbled certain numbers in a specific order, sometimes asking for Leo to repeat.

Jay used one hand to hold onto the phone that was still glued to his ear, humming in agreement a couple of times.

"Alright, thank you for letting me know Alpha Leo,"

Jay hung up the phone and stared at it angrily before throwing it with such force at the wall. His cell phone broke in a quick second, causing me to yelp at the sudden reaction.

Jay gripped tightly on the edge of the desk breathing heavily. He soon began growling loudly, crouching roughly.

"AHHH!"

He screamed in pain and agony, I screamed a bit as I jogged up to him holding onto his cheeks putting a hand onto his forehead. He was burning up badly.

"Jay, what's wrong?"

He yelled profanities and pushed me away. I tried to touch him again but he shoved me out of the office, locking the door behind him.

"S-Stay away from me!" 

I attempted to jiggle the doorknob open but failed miserably. My hand-pounded against to wooden door leaving heavy thuds.

"Jay!"

He screamed in pain and I backed away with fear, hearing the sounds of bones crunching and glass shattering. I covered my mouth and sat down with my back against the stair railing.

"Please be okay, please be okay..." I whispered repeatedly, cradling back and forth as tears rushed out of my eyes.

"Please be okay,"

Luca's POV

I opened my eyes, blinking once, twice, three times.

With countless efforts, I tried to stand up, until I did...whimpering at the pain. My vision went to my hands, seeing them a lot smaller than usual and furry, VERY furry.

I tried to scream, but instead, it came out as a high-pitched whimper.

F*ck.

No. no. no this wasn't supposed to happen, I was meant to shift back into myself, in human form! This isn't right!

What was happening? Was this a sign or a part of the prophecy that we all had completely missed?

Damn it.

"Can't you take control? Try."

My eyes closed and I breathe quickly from my snout, trying to shift back.

Diana's POV

I knocked on the door a tiny bit as soon as it had gotten quiet. My voice was shaking and teeth were chattering with fear. I was scared that my mate was...gone. That I would open this door and see his lifeless body.

"Jay?" I asked a tiny bit louder.

Okay, this was it, I needed to know if he was alive. My feet moved back a bit so I was touching the railing again and I had gotten in a running stance.

I ran with full force into the door regretting it once I felt myself basically breaking every bone in my body. A cough left my lips and a moan that made me sound just like a zombie.

"D-Diana?" His soft yet defeated voice made me feel better instantly.

I couldn't get off of the ground but my breath hitched when the doorknob started to move. The door opened revealing my mate.

His eyes looked like they were about to close at any moment. I stared into them, seeing the color returning, the green eyes that I fell in love with.

"Luca? Luca!" I screeched.

He fell to the ground next to me, hitting his head on the floor.

"No! Luca, baby wake up," My voice was so stuffy.

His head laid in my lap and I patted his right cheek trying to have him gain consciousness. Luca's eyes were closed and his breathing was slowing down little by little.

"Luca, please! I can't lose you either, No Luca, wake up! P-please wake up!"

At this point, I was sobbing and hugged his head close to my chest. My pointer and middle finger dug into his neck, trying to feel his pulse, luckily he had one but it was so faint.

I slightly rested his head on the ground and stood up, rubbing my sweaty hands on the jeans I wore.

"I got you, you're going to get better, I promise," I whisper while sniffing away all the pain.

My hands grabbed handfuls of his ripped shirt dragging him into our room. I had him sit up straight on the bedpost, his head falling.

"I'll be right back,"

My body soon got a shot of adrenaline as I ran into the bathroom, nearly breaking every cabinet. Pill bottles and containers were tumbling on me yet nothing affected me. I found the gauze and some alcohol.

I was back next to Luca, and checked all over his dark hair, trying to find any head wounds. A small slash was on the side of his face near his ear. I opened the alcohol bottle with my teeth, spitting out the lid far across from me.

With one hand I held the hair away from the wound while the other poured some of the liquid onto his injury.

"You're going to be fine baby, You're going to be just fine," I muttered.

The gauze was easy to tear but hard to tie as it continuously would slip out of my fingers. After what felt like millions of tries, the gauze decided to be my friend and stay. Blood soaked it in a rush as he was losing so much.

I had finished patching him up and I wipe my nose with the back of my hand, sniffing violently. I pick up one of his arms and wrap it around myself as I become comfortable.

The position I was in allowed my head to rest on his lap while his arm laid limp on my hip. My knees were brought up to my chest and I cuddled more into him, trying not to cry anymore.

I couldn't lose him, Xavier's death ruined me...If Luca died I would be destroyed, there would be no more left of me. The way I lost him was still so fresh in my mind, so vivid.

*****Flashback*****

Luna Kate held me back as Luca ran toward his brother. Xavier sneered and stood behind Theo, his claws ready to spill blood.

Alphas surrounded Theo, preparing to kill him as their Lunas' stood beside them.

"Theo," Luca growls,

I walk close to him holding onto his hands, the sharp claws pinched at my skin. Luca stared at Xavier, whistling loudly. Xavier also soon stands in front of me, covering any sight of Theo.

Luca let go of my hand and urged forward with Xavier.

Xavier attacked first but Theo quickly blocked him, punching Luca in the gut. This gave Xavier time to grab a hold of Theo's neck.

Luca shifted into Jay's large black wolf in front of everyone, barking at his brother. He bit Theo's leg and threw him onto the stage. Xavier molted next, his large grey wolf was now in view. Sean.

I raced over to the stage, which was quite hard in heels. My hands held the dress up as I was trying to run over to my mate. Sean jumped in front of me, barking at me to stay back. I listened and stopped in my spot.

He ran to Jay and Theo becoming involved in the fight once again. Jay howled in agony when Theo roundhouse kicked him in the face.

"JAY!"

I start running toward him. Sean bites onto Theo's hand, violently shaking his head. Theo shuffled a hand into his pocket and pulls out a pocket knife.

"Sean, Lookout!"

It was too late. It dug into his side, going in and out repeatedly. His red liquid was squirting everywhere. Many of the Lunas' and I let out loud shrieks, but I went to him while they avoided any contact.

All of the hundreds of the Alphas, began their shift, howling together. I knelt down to Sean, holding pressure to slow down the blood from leaving his body.

He whimpered and shook at the pain he was in. Theo was on the run but he didn't make it too far as hundreds of Alphas chased him.

Sean shifted back to Xavier, leaving his nude body exposed to everyone. I didn't care at this point.

Jay was next to me in a flash, shifting back into Luca. He was also naked in front of everyone so I used some of my dress to cover him. My attention went back to Xavier watching as blood poured out of his mouth.

"I-I told you I can make you love me,"

"Shhh, don't talk," I tangled my hand into his brown hair.

"I k-k-kept m-my promise,"

He choked on his words and soon his eyes lost all life.

"Xavier? NO! NO!"

Luca pulled me against him, cradling us back and forth as he tried to take me away from Xavier's dead corpse.

He kept his promise.

*****End of Flashback*****

Xavier really did. Except, I loved him as a friend...A really good friend. Luca was obviously different, he was much more than that, of course, he was my mate.

I really owe Xavier a lot, but I owe my mate everything.

If Luca dies, I'll be a lonely and broken Queen.
