Chapter 3: Luca

Days turned to weeks and I haven’t met thealpha, each day I asked and Ares gave me the same answer, I will be seeing him soon, I got everything I asked for which I found unusual, I didn’t hate them for buying me but I hated Conrad for treating me like a tool, he knew me better than anyone, he knew I loved and trusted him and he choose to do this to me. The past three weeks, I got a lot closer to Are. He is a friendly person and a good listener. I complained about being bored and not having any friends here, so he made sure every day to come meet me for two hours. He says he can be my friend for two hours everyday, I found it hilarious, I realize Areas is not much of a talker, he likes to keep to himself and whenever I want to speak about him, he will brush it off or ignore it, I ended up telling him a lot about me and Connor, he was curious about my parents but that is a sour topic for me. I never expected to enjoy my time here. At first, I hated it, but after I started spending time with Ares, he made it a lot easier. He told me I reminded him of someone special. I asked who. He whispered to his sister, I didn’t want to push it because I knew he didn’t want to speak about it. Every day has been the same for the past weeks, I wake up for breakfast with Ares, then I watch Netflix or read a book, afterwards I have lunch and my two-hour conversation with Ares, then dinner. Today is different, I felt it the moment I woke up. I got a knock on my door, "Get dressed, we will be leaving in ten minutes," Ares said. "Where are we going?" I asked. "Just get dressed,, Ares says before walking up. I rolled my eyes and strolled to the bathroom. I take a quick shower before changing into a sundress. I hear a knock; he is punctual, which made it annoying. "You will be meeting the alpha today." I smiled when he said that. I was finally going to meet the man I had heard so much about. I wanted to thank him for treating me good. Ares leads me downstairs so we can have breakfast, "Is he coming now?" I asked. I wanted to see the man behind all of this. "You seem oddly excited about this," Ares stated. "Just curious," I say. "We will be meeting him elsewhere." He says, and I nod. We have our breakfast silently before he leads me outside, and we get into the car with two other men. "What is he like?"I asked again. Ares stares at me when I ask the question. "I’m just curious," I mumbled. "He is excited to meet you," he says, avoiding my question. It annoyed me how he never wanted to talk about his alpha; he never wanted to tell me anything. There was a time I asked him why he was nice and gave me everything I asked for. He answered that he didn’t have much of a choice, the alpha wants me to be comfortable, and anything I want should be granted. "I guess I will see him today," I muttered against my lips. The drive to the place was long. I didn’t realize when I fell asleep until I felt a hand softly shaking me. I let out a groan before opening my eyes. It was Ares. "We are here," Ares said. He opens the door for me, leading me outside. I let out a gasp when I saw the mansion; it was nothing like the last one. This one was more beautiful and larger in size. It looked like a castle with the beautiful flowers all around it. The guards bow their heads as we walk in. I was nervous, and I held the hem of my dress nervously. "He is not going to bite you," Ares says, and I nod nervously. I didn’t know what to say when I heard the sounds of a footstep. I noticed Ares's smile. A captivating cologne filled my nostrils. I wanted to know what, so I raised my head, and I saw him for the first time. I thought the man I saw through the window was beautiful, but I was wrong; he is the definition of beautiful. His emerald eyes remained fixated on mine as he walked downstairs. His jet black hair and a defined jawline. He wore a suit, leaving a few buttons open, in which showed a good amount of his tattoos. I didn’t realize I was staring at the Greek god until hraisedes my chin. I have never had anyone’s touch affect me this way; his finger remained on my chin. "Beautiful." The Alpha says, referring to me, which made me smile. What was I doing, drooling on a man I just met, a man that I should be nervous around? His voice sounded just like the man I heard the first night I sneaked out to get a snack. It was him, he was there that night, yet I didn’t get to meet him. Our moment was interrupted by Ares clearing his throat. "Luca." Ares is smiling, saying his name. This is the first time I am seeing Ares smile; he has never smiled at me, not even once. "I’m sorry we never met earlier., I was caught up in work." Luca’s voice captivated me. I was too focused on him, and I barely paid any attention to what he was saying. I just ended up nodding like a fool. I was embarrassed by myself. "Ares tells me you have been pestering him, and you wanted to meet me." I glare at Ares. "When he said he informed me about you, he didn’t say anything about you being this beautiful." He says. "Thank you." I smile. He looked into my eyes while speaking to me, which made me believe every word he said, and he led me into my bedroom. "You will be staying here from now on. How about you get freshened up for lunch?" He says, and I smile. "Lu," I whispered his name when he was about to leave, and he stopped in his tracks immediately.
