Luke

Should I have bought her flowers? I don't know. It's been a long time I mean would she be expecting flowers? No she wouldn't expect anything that's why I should have bought flowers to surprise her.

I scowled at myself for not thinking of it earlier and finally reached her house.

I should have bought her something like maybe...

I froze mid step. What am I seeing? Elektra has her arms wrapped around some other man. As I looked closer I realized he wasn't just some other man. She has her hands wrapped around me.

I began growling at the imposter. How dare he touch her? Trick her... But what hurts me is she doesn't realize he's not me. All I have to do is storm there and kill him but she pulled back looking away so suddenly that new hope fluttered in. Please Elektra, please realize he's not me. I leaned back into the tree glaring at them. Not them, him. I started clenching and then releasing my hands.

~*~*~

Elektra

"What's been happening?" I asked him keeping my cool but inside I'm fuming and I'll admit a little frightened.

"Just wolf stuff." He ran his hands along my back which usually would make me go weak. It made me shiver uncomfortable instead and I won't be able to stand being in his arms any longer. There's a part of me that's hesitant, maybe I'm mistaking and it really is him.

"Hm." I finally looked into his eyes and held back the gasp. I suggestively leaned forward leading him to believe I was going to kiss him again but I whispered into his ear. "Luke has eyes warm as the sun not blue and cold as ice."

"Worth it though right?" He replied. I pushed myself away from him and out of pure unmistakable anger kicked my boot into his abdomen and he flew back his body slamming into the rose bush mum spent forever on perfecting.

"Are you mentally challenged?" I shouted.

He crawled out and stood dusting himself –back to himself- off. Blonde and annoyingly handsome. "My heart aches." He mockingly weeped.

"Leave."

"Is that an order?"

"Leave."

"Are you afraid he will see me?" He smirked. Yes now leave before he comes!

"I will not ask you again. Or hesitate to get rid of you myself."

"Son of bitch." Someone shouted. Luke knocked Adrian to the ground and punches went flying.

"Luke!" I pried him off Adrian and led far from him. Luke's eyes haven't darkened to a complete black but they're close. I hugged him and he welcomed the embrace dipping his face in my hair and keeping me close.

"That was my kiss." He growled. "Let me kill him."

"No."

"But..."

"No." After awhile Luke's body tensed in my arms.

"He's gone." Luke pushed me back and began searching the front yard like a bloodhound.

"Luke...?"

"I'm just going to look around." He said running around the house.

I sighed. "Okay."

We can both sense that Adrian left but I let him go knowing this will give him some piece of mind and me a chance to cool down.

I stumbled to the porch steps then I hugged my knees to my chest and calmly waited for him. Romeo and Koko crawled out from under the house and sat on either side of me. They must have hid away when Adrian came, he must have done something really bad to scare them. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I read Olivia's text.

Howz it going?

Not great.

When my dog's tails began to wag I knew they were watching Luke come towards us and now that he's completely calm there's only me left. I feel horrible. He knelt down in front of me and cupped my chin, tilting it up so our eyes met.

My brown to his pure gold.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't be wasting my time." He whispered. I shook out from his grasp and stroked Koko's fluffy head. Romeo began to lick my other hand so Luke scratched behind his ear.

"It took me too long to realize it wasn't you. It's my fault as usual."

"No it's his fault."

"I just wanted this to be-not perfect but at least bearable. I'm finding it hard to look at you without feeling ashamed."

"Don't." He stroked my cheek with his thumb and I leaned into his touch. "He's ruined our day not you and uh well this would make it fair."

"Make what fair?" I asked my tone changing from soft to dark ever so fast.

"Okay listen before you react." I always do!

Don't I?

"What did you do?" I questioned suspiciously.

"You're already angry." He accused and I almost snapped so I took a deep breath.

"No I am not angry. Should I be?" He hesitated. "You hesitated." I slapped his hand away and I stood up making him stand up.

"Deviline kissed me." He said each word hitting me hard.

That's not fair I can't get mad because he caught me making out with Adrian. My face is probably going retarded trying to pick an expression.

"When was this?" I curled my lips in.

"When I was injected with silver."

I raised my index finger at him. "Alright I may not be allowed to get mad about the kiss but I will get mad about how long it's taken for you to tell me."

He clasped my hands in his. "Let's just leave it at we've both been tricked or semi cheated on."

I scoffed. "I thought he was you."

"And I'm happy you kicked him away as soon as you realized he wasn't." He said inviting me to end the conversation there. Oh I don't think so

Mr.

Snuggle.

Kinz.

I crossed my arms over. "I suppose you didn't kick her away."

"I was full of silver and she pulled away before I could push her."

"Mhm." I replied dully then stood up and walked to the front door. I'm not jealous only pissed. Why would I be jealous of a bitch who kissed my boyfriend? He doesn't like her, she's not that good looking anyway and he loves me. I kept repeating she's ugly in my mind until I was satisfied.

"Elektra." He groaned. I took a deep breath knowing I'm not allowed to be mad and it'd be killing our only time together. His arms enclosed my stomach and he pressed a lingering kiss in the crook of my neck. I felt the electricity hit every nerve and I closed my eyes and gave him more access to my neck. He's smugly smiling but I feel too dreamy to care. I've missed him too much.

"How long can you stay?"

"Until the Alpha calls me back."

"When will that be?" I asked sadly.

"We'll worry when it happens." He opened the door with one hand still holding tightly around my stomach and directed us inside to the living room. I tittered at the pitter patter of my dogs prancing inside and suddenly Luke lifted me off the ground making me squeal and threw me into the couch. He drew off his leather jacket leaving it on the other white leather couch and crashed down next to me. Our mood changed very quickly not that I am complaining but I did edge myself away. "Are you still mad?" He asked unbelievably.

"Was she good?"

"She was disgusting." He stated so a matter of factly that my face hurt from smiling too much.

"Good." He leaned forward. "I've been tainted you don't want to kiss me."

"Then what are we expected to do to pass the time?" He smirked forcefully pulling me onto his lap. He didn't gently kiss me somehow all tenderness has just flown out the window. No his kisses became raw and rough, his hands gripped onto my top almost ripping it. I pulled away. "I know what we could do." I want to tease him a little. Just a little torture... I stood up surprising him therefore he reached out to grab me but I stepped away and he got up backing me against the wall. His eyes began darkening and he trapped me with his hands on either side of my head planting burning kisses along my neck and jaw. "W-we-we could watch a movie..."

"I've seen all the movies." His hands snuck under the hem of my top and I couldn't control my hands from sliding through the fine strands of his hair.

"You've seen every single movie..." I said doubtfully. Now I can't stop kissing him.

"Every. Single." He pressed his body up against mine. "One."

"Oh." I sighed blissfully. "Well we could... uh... play a game liii-like scrabble or-or..." His hands continued to slide up my top tickling my skin.

"Are you done trying to be distracting?" He whispered in my ear.

"Are you about to lose our challenge?"

"I can't kiss you without leading to that?"

"You can but you'll be exciting me then disappointing me."

"I feared that so I got you something." He reached into his pocket and pulled out heaven in purple wrapping.

I grabbed the Cadbury chocolate, pecked his lips and ran to the couch. "I forgive you now."

"Aren't you going to share?"

I burst laughing. "Oh Luke you're hilarious." I was about to take bite but Luke walked up behind the couch and bit a whole chunk off.

Oh no he didn't.

I shot daggers at him as he chewed.

How dare he...?

I watched him swallow, the chocolate sliding down his throat. "Problem?" He asked concerned but his eyes are laughing at me. I just breathed out a chuckle and broke the chocolate in half to give one to him then enjoy my own. "I bet this is killing you."

"I am very territorial with my food, especially chocolate. Chocolate is my life..." I softened up. "But so are you."

"That's the most romantic thing you've ever said to me." He teased and I playfully smacked his shoulder. "You look tired."

"Been busy." I instinctively started scratching the bite on my shoulder. This one seemed to want to linger while the others have healed and he noticed my act. He pulled back the top to expose my shoulder reavealing the two opposing cresent moon scars. If it was a simple drinking the vampire would have left puncture wounds but this guy was determined to rip out my whole shoulder.

"This is recent what have you been doing?"

"For all you know this could have been a big shoe sale fight with a bitch and her perfect teeth."

"If a stupid cheap girl tried to bite you all her teeth would have shattered so I know that is not the case Elektra."

I batted my lashes. "You know you sound really sexy when you're concerned about my well being."

"Elektra." He growled.

"You don't need to worry about me. I've been dealing with vampires since I was thirteen and I don't hunt alone."

"Who do you hunt with?"

"Mainly the Pride but sometimes with Angel."

"Angel?" I winced. I can't be bothered with this.

"Let's please pretend we're a normal couple for even just ten minutes."

"Fine. When am I meeting your mother?"

"Oh my Gods!" I sighed exsasperated. "You're full of it today aren't you?"

"It's been a couple of months it's almost your birthday to." Like that means you have to meet my mother. But why not? I would love mum to meet him I bet she would adore him. Oh great now I'm all excited.

"Would you like to meet her tonight?"

"Yes."

"Fine then." I took a bite of my chocolate and almost choked on it when Luke asked me. "Where is your dad?"

I swallowed then outstretched my arm. "Far far away." I stated grinning.

"You seem so depressed by that."

"He was never dad of the year. Bit of a bully actually." I said with a shrug not really caring.

"Sorry I just always wondered since he's never around."

"No don't be sorry. We were always better off without him. I can barely stand five minutes of his blabber unless I know he'll be leaving at some point." I repositioned myself on his lap so I could rest my back on his chest.

"What about him is it you hate?"

I sighed. "He was never my dad. He was just a man that would come home late after hours of spending my mother's hard earned money. He was just a guy that lived with us."

"He gave you life."

"No my mum gave me life he just burdened her with me so she'd have to keep him around."

"Stop it."

I furrowed my brow. "Stop?"

"Stop putting yourself down."

"It helps others feel better about themselves." He tightened his arms around my stomach and so I continued on. "He was the cause of my mother having heart attacks. I almost lost her because he's a pig." I sniffled. "Luke he was horrible to her, made her go insane because being in an argument put him on a high. I was so scared of him.

He would humiliate me and made me believe I was going to hell. He is a really shitty man.

A disgusting lazy monster of a man... He did get his punishment though.

He disrespects women so the fates punished him with little girls."

"That's not even a punishment that's a blessing. Boys are brats I should know." I laughed knowing his trying to lighten everything.

"For him the typical lazy Greek psycho male it is a shame."

"I think I can give him a worse punishment."

"You never have to meet him. Consider that a blessing now enough of the dreary before I start getting sad wrinkles. Thirsty?"

"No." He started laying us both down on the couch and I rolled over to face him. "I want to enjoy your company as best I can."

"Luke if you just want to make out again just do it." He pulled me close so our hearts beated against each other and our legs tangled up.

"I have never felt this relaxed." He admitted his eyes half closed.

"In your whole life?" He moaned in reply.

"There is always something I have to do. It's exhausting." I pecked his nose and he smiled.

"How's the Pack? Do they still want to find out who the mystery girlfriend is?"

"They're dying to know. I have to hide in my room most of the time to get some peace and quiet."

"By the way I'm missing a few pieces of clothing you wouldn't happen to know what happened to them?" He blushed. It's a trick question since I could smell his scent in my room one day when I came home from school.

"I took one T-shirt."

"Sure." I said doubtfully. "I want your jacket."

"I love that jacket."

"I love that top."

"Ugh you women." I smiled in victory and he pinched my side making me jump.

"Don't."

"I forgot you were tickilish."

"I will kill you if you dare..." He dared. "Luke!" I screamed as he tickled me and fell off the couch with him tumbling on top of me. "Please don't make me hurt you." I said through giggles however we froze when a loud piercing scream came from the wood. We both shot up but I winced recognising her scream.

"Olivia?" I whispered.
