Luca’s Inferno by Karima Sa’ad Usman

Chapter 27

27 End Of The Vacation
Luca.
I knew Emma wasn’t joking when she requested to be my mistress. I was hoping it wouldn’t come to that, but it had. I could see it in her eyes. She was battling her emotions just as I was. I wasn’t angry at her when I walked away. I was mad at myself for putting her in a situation she would think so low of herself. Aldo sensed something was wrong, but I hid it from him. When Teressa approached us, I was surprised, but I chose to pass away the time by hearing what she had to say. She claimed she saw us by accident, but I knew my mother was behind it. My mother wanted me to start courting Teressa immediately, and I was mad at her. Teressa told me that Emma and her friend were partying with some men, knowing how easily I got jealous. It got to me, but who was I to get jealous? As much as I wanted to go to where she was and drag her away from the men, I knew she would be free to do as she liked in a couple of months. I also knew that my reaction to her request was what led her to do that.
When I returned to the room, I was surprised to see her sleeping in bed. I figured the party was what it was, just a party and nothing more. She was faithful. I lay next to her. I wanted to wake her up and make love to her, but I doubted it would be the right thing to do after the awkward moment we had. So I leaned to kiss her. Her scent filled my sense, and I was suddenly overcome with the urge to claim her as mine. My inner wolf wanted to own her; my heart was hers. I knelt over her and stared at her. My body was moving on its own, and I fought with all my might. If she hadn’t woken up, I might have sunk my teeth into her flesh, and everything would be history. It took a bit to calm down, and i knew she knew; she saw it, but to my surprise, she acted as if it were nothing.
We had fun at the Gazebo. When Teressa interrupted us and asked Emma about her time with me, it hurt to hear her answer it so freely. I began to suspect she was over me. After all, she had gotten over Thomas, who was her first, and they dated for three years. Why can’t she get over me, whom she had been with for only eight months? As much as Teressa pretended she wasn’t interested in me, her action showed otherwise. I did not want her spoiling our holiday, so I told her to leave us. Since Kyle was going back the next day, we decided to stay up partying. Aldo seemed to be taken by Heather, but I chose to mind my business. Heather did not know, and neither did Emma.

SEVEN DAYS LATER.
The vacation was fun. Emma never had any serious talk with me and avoided us having profound moments altogether. I was grateful for her effort, and I was glad that she allowed us to have fun and create memories without complications. Aldo and Heather were spending a lot of time together, leaving Emma and me most of the time. I could not complain; in fact, that was what I wanted. I wondered if they would ever have anything serious or if Aldo would decide to let Heather go like me. How and where they chose to take their relationship was entirely up to them. Emma and I retired early and spent the rest of the evening making love before we fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I finished what I was doing and was about to exit the bathroom when Emma linked me.
“There are three human men in the room with guns,” she said, and I was on alert. I remembered I kept my gun by the nightstand. I was grateful it was loaded. Humans were not as fast as us. Whatever I needed to do had to be quick I exited immediately, and Emma was naked and on her knees. As she had told me, there were
three of them, and they had masks on. “What do you want?” I asked the men, gearing to aim for the nightstand where my gun was. They laughed, but my alpha aura intimidated and confused them. I had that effect on humans too, and it was to my advantage because something told me if it wasn’t for it, both Emma and I would have been dead. The one holding a gun to Emma’s head was about to pull the trigger when I moved quickly and knocked him out of the way, pushing both of us towards the nightstand. Shots were fired, and Emma shifted and attacked them. I broke the neck of the guy I struck and reached for the nightstand. The instant I picked the gun up, I heard a gunshot and a whimper. I turned quickly and fired two shots at the other two men. My aim was good, and I got them in the head. I was very fast, so they could not compose themselves and shoot me. They fell, and I saw who whimpered; it was Emma. She had blocked a bullet meant for me with her body. I screamed immediately, carried her wolf, and placed her on had come with silver bullets. So I knew it was a werewolf that sent them. She was unconscious, and this was a human establishment. I could not take her out in wolf form. Aldo and Heather entered our room, and Heather ran to her friend wrapped in bedsheets while Aldo was in shorts.
“What happened?” he asked me, looking at Emma’s wolf on the bed and the three men that had attacked us on the floor.
“She took a bullet for me; we need to find the wound and take it out now. She is unconscious.” I said and ran to the cupboard and brought the first aid kit Emma had forced me to bring. My hands were shaking, and my eyes were filled with tears.
I began to search her white fur. Heather helped me, and we finally found the bullet hole on her side. My hands were shaking, so Heather took over and helped take it out. Emma’s heart was still beating, but she was unconscious, and I did not know what to do. Heather continued to check to make sure that was it. “What did they want?” Aldo asked me, and I was too distraught to respond. He shook me a bit, and then I yelled at him.
