Dangerous Desires Novel

101 Glad You Are Home 

Caleb. 

Luke was finally back. I wanted to go look for him in Santa Braee, but when my father dropped the bomb of leading the pack on me, I knew there was no way I would be able to make it there. Things were falling apart tremendously, and I did not know what would happen if Luke did not return with a glimmer of hope. 

I knew Tia wasn‘t handling it well, and the pregnancy made her hormonal. Usually, she was good at masking her emotions, but she was now the opposite. I knew Luke broke her defences, the same defences she put up because of my stupidity, but I did not expect him to make her completely open. Though I still reminisced about what could have bneen between us, I accepted that it wasn‘t meant to be. I meant what I told Tia at the lake, but now I had more. I had Kimberly and Emma; they both meant the world to me. I knew I would never feel for Kim like I did for Tia, but the goddess had decided our paths. Looking at her and Luke. They were best for each other, so I have come to love her as a sister and cheer for her relationship with my brother. 

Tia brought light into our dark family and repaired the bond between my brother and me. Luke laughed more often and became more outgoing and patient than he used to be. Seeing his effort and sincerity made me back off. That was why when she started to hurt because she hadn‘t heard from him, I decided I would go to Santa Braee to look for him. I knew if I didn‘t, Tia would be stubborn enough to try to go. I got a call that an unauthorised private jet had landed at the airport. I rushed there immediately with soldiers. It was either my brother and his team or an intruder. I had to prepare myself for either. Kirk was the first to inform me it was Luke. My heart soared immediately. I was glad he was back and would not have to lead the pack. The job of being Alpha sucked. I did not envy my brother at all. 

I went to welcome Luke. If I did not know them, I wouldn‘t have recognised them. Mike had no afro anymore, Wiley, who was one year my junior, had dreads, and Katherin looked like an ordinary girl. It was funny. Luke‘s blonde hair and crooked nose threw me off completely. He smiled at me, and I knew my brother was okay. I had to compose and control myself. I noticed they brought two people. A woman and a man that looked like a prisoner. 

“Caleb!” my brother called out to me, and I ran to him. I looked at him with so much relief, and he knew what I was feeling at that moment. He grabbed my head and rested his forehead against mine, patting the side of my face. I thought we had lost him, but here he was, strong and in charge. 

“How is my wife, Caleb,” he asked after he released me, and I began to laugh. Raising my hand, I shook my head. 

“I did not make any passes at her,” I said jokingly, and we began to laugh. 

“Who are the new people with you?” I asked him, and he turned to look at how his prisoners were being handled. 

“The girl is free. Her name is Bianca Ash. A call girl from Dome. Please make sure she gets treated and then send her home,” he said, and I raised my eyebrow a bit defensive for Tia‘s sake. Understanding what I meant, he shook his head immediately. 

“I will never cheat on Tia,” he said, and I relaxed a bit. 

“What about the guy?” I asked, and his face squeezed up.

For someone that claimed he could not feel the mate bond, he seems to really believe she will wake up.” I said, trying to mask my emotions. Luke patted my back gently, but I knew he did not have the words to say to me, and I did not want to put him in a condition where he would say anything. “Come on, big brother, it is time to go home,” I said, and we headed towards the parking lot. While we walked, Luke told me about his ordeal in Santa Braee and how they were made. Apparently, Luis set traps for them, and they fell right into them. The goddess must be on his side for him to think of the lie he told Justin and his gang. Luke was lucky indeed. If Justin‘s gang had buried a bullet in his head. Our family wouldn‘t have been able to recover from losing him. I was grateful for his return.

Luke did not know that yet, but I wasn‘t going to tell him the night he returned. I did not even tell Tia. Which was why I was worried when we were going to the hospital. Luis has also ruined us financially, which was why we lost the Military support because we could no longer pay up. We also had revolting pack members because of the suspension of Diamond corp’s operations. Everything was a mess. I did not want to tell him about it.
