She looks out the window and sighs "I better take you back to the Alphas house before it gets dark." I look outside and see the sun start to set "Oh wow it's that late." She nods her head getting out of her sit "I wish I could stay with you a little longer." I complain really wanting to not go back to my mates house and having to deal with him.

She gives me an understanding smile and helps me out of my chair. "I completely understand, I'd say you can come see me at work tomorrow but I don't think Alpha would like that." She gives me a face which causes me to giggle "Yeah your right, he got jealous over his Beta taking me for a run." We walk out of the cafe heading back to the house.

"Accio?!" She looked at me like I grew a third eye. "Yeah I felt bad that he almost got in trouble." She shakes her head with slight disappointment on her face "I swear sometimes Luca can act like a high school boy." I smile at her comment because it true "He knows Accio is the most loyal person." I nod my head agreeing with her, because I can completely see that in him.

Before I new it we're back at the house, she stops at the porch stairs. "This is as far as I go." She smiles up at me with her perfect white teeth. "You sure you don't want to come in?" I look at her pleadingly not wanting to deal with him alone. She smiles at me knowingly "Don't worry Luna, his a handful, but of the many years I've know him his a gentlemen." She bows in respect to me, turning to leave but before she does I call out "Meira!" She turns back "Yes Luna?"

I smile at her warmly "It's Cressa." She looks at me confused at first then realization spreads across her face "Goodnight Cressa." She smiles genuinely before leaving.

I watch her disappear into the distance before walking into the house. I take off my boots once I walk in, sighing in relief from the freedom.

"Did you have fun?" I look up to see Luca staring down at me softly. I can tell something's change just by the way his standing. His not on alert like before.

"Yes, I very much enjoyed Meira." I say finally realizing his long dark hair is wet. He must of took a shower since his in a loose T-shirt and sweatpants. He smiles at me causing me to stop breathing "I knew you would, Meira is a strong woman that deserves respect." I look at him like he grew a second head, he actually smiled. He must really like Meira, I wonder if they had a relationship before I came into the picture. I looked away losing myself in my thoughts.

"Is something wrong?" He drops his smile, looking at me worried. I just look at him confused, is he bipolar. I wouldn't doubt it "No just tired I guess." That smile comes back as he picks up my hand softly, the sparks giving me butterflies "Come on, let's make something to eat then we can head to bed."

I just nod, not able to say anything to him. My head hurts from all of his different personalities.

He takes me to the island, letting me take a seat as he starts preparing to cook. "Aren't I the one that should be doing that?" I say looking at his back, watching him get all the ingredients. "Yes but I should do something nice for my Luna once in awhile." I watch him start cooking, losing myself in my thoughts.

Who is this man, and what is he doing to me. Is this a game to him? Is he having fun doing this to me? What does he gain from this? The pleasure of breaking me?

I start to breath heavily feeling a panic attack coming on, everything focusing out. I look up to see him still cooking, my breathing slowing down. I clinch my fist tight watching him, hating that the sight of him even calms me down. I hate him! I hate the Alpha of the Midnight Blood Pack!

"No you don't Cressa." Cara says in the back of my mind, making her presents known.

"Yes. I. Do." I say angrily towards her, my body shaking with anger.

"I can't believe you Cara, the damn man took us from our home by force! Killed our father! And chained us for no fucking reason than as a fucking example!!" I yell at her, my anger coming to its boiling point.

Without realizing it Luca walked up beside me and placed his hand on my shoulder. "Is everything alright Cressa?" He looks at me worried, stop looking at me like you care.

I stand up "Yeah I'm fine, did you need something?" He looks at me skeptically "The foods done." He takes my hand and walks me over to the kitchen table. He sits me down and finally takes his seat. "I hope you like it, it's one of my favorites so it should be good." He gives me a sly grin, sticking his fork into his spaghetti.

Wait...Spaghetti...

I look down horrified at the plate of the last meal I had with my family laid out before me. The memories come flooding back like a dam breaking.

My mother asking for my help, my father hugging us tight, my brothers teasing my cooking, and little Tala giving me her cute smile.

That's it, that's what breaks me...the last damn meal I had with them. I stand up quickly from my chair, Luca doing the same with a worried look on his face. "Cressa what is it?!" He looks at me shocked from my suddenly outburst.

"You..." I growl glaring at him deadly. I can feel Cara trying to break through to stop me, but I won't let her.

He looks at me confused, which causes me to laugh like a crazy person, honestly at this point I probably am, but can you blame me?

He starts to walk over to me causing me to growl out "Don't come near me." I glare daggers at him, clinching my fist tight. "Cressa please, I don't know why your acting like this?" He says bring up his hands in surrender. I laugh like he said the most funniest joke "Are you fucked in the head, or do you really just care about your fucking self?" I smile at him disgustingly. He takes a deep breath, trying to calm his wolf "Cressa you need to calm down." He says in a low growl "Or what?! You gonna fucking chain me again mate?!" He glares at me angrily, oh their he is my loving mate back from his play time.

"You will not disrespect me Cressa." He says with his alpha voice. I giggle causing him to storm over to me, pushing me up against the wall. "There you are." I say sweetly, feeling the angry tears start to leak out. He looks confused at my sudden change in tone. "It's not nice to act like something your not." I look into his eyes, causing him to loosen his grip on me confused. Then his expression drops and I can't tell what his feeling. "What do you mean?" He looks into my eyes no expression on his face.

I smile sadly "You were acting like a real mate for once, it's not nice to pretend." His eyes show concern "I wasn't pretending Cressa." It's my turn to look at him blankly now "That's a lie, because from the moment I stepped on to your territory. All you've done is hurt me." He looks shocked, turning away letting me go, looking off into the distance like his thinking hard about something.

He brings his hand over his face like his exhausted, turning his back to me. I look away from him and turn to the spaghetti setting on the table. I walk over and take my seat, looking down at my food. I can feel Lucas eyes on me, then I hear faint footsteps leave the room.

Once I sense his left the house I get up and go to the fridge, getting the bottle of ketchup. Then walk back over to my seat and pour the ketchup onto my spaghetti. My mom says it's her special ingredient when she cooks it. I take a bite, and let the tears fall.

I really am broken, he won, I hope his happy.

After eating I clean up and head to bed. Luca didn't come home that night.
