Book 1 : Chapter 79 Love Sick Lorens

December 2nd

"Luca!" I called as we entered the back yard, where the party had spilled out.

Luca turned around from where he was picking the sprinkles off a chocolate doughnut on the food table. As he saw me, he smiled widely and bounded over.

"Am I allowed to talk to my best friend, Alpha, or?" He asked.

Leo rolled his eyes, "I guess. I'll be over there, speaking with my Grandfather."

He then left us and I turned back to Luca, "nice eye," I said, referring to the black bruise still on Luca's face from when Leo punched him a week and a half ago. "I'm surprised that hasn't healed yet."

"Did you not see how hard he hit me?" Luca questioned. "If he wasn't tightly gripping my throat at the time of impact I'd still be walking back from Alaska," he added, "I also have a bruise on my ribs too if you want to see-" He added reaching for the hem of his shirt.

"Yeah okay, we believe you, honey. You don't need to show us," I interjected.
