Chapter 79: Secret Weapon

My name rolled off his lips. He had a nice voice, but it made the hair on my body stand up regardless.

Luther stood before me, looking effortlessly handsome. His hair was slightly messed up and buzzed at the sides. I could see droplets of water, probably from a fresh shower he had just taken.

Honestly speaking, he was good-looking. His chiseled jaw was sharp and angled. His seamed shirt sculpted to fit his body perfectly, and his gray suit pants shaped his strong long legs.

In this outfit, he almost looked as elegant and attractive as a fine prince.

However, my body resisted going to him.

If Theo's vibe was dangerous, then Luther's vibe was vicious. It was that aura he carried that made me want to stay away from him, in spite of his good looks.

"Ciana?" Getting no response from me, he called again. Surprisingly, like a gentleman, he stepped toward me but not close enough that he penetrated into my personal bubble.

My eyebrows pulled together and I remembered the purpose of this trip. "Forgive me if I'm a little bit confused. One moment I was in my homeland and now I am-"

"Here." He finished for me.

"Where exactly is here?"

He snapped his fingers. "Now you are asking the right questions. And to answer said question, here is my home. Welcome to what remains of the Ortiz Pack."

I had heard of the name of the pack when I learnt about Theo' s mother, but that was as much as I knew.

As Jake said, the history was obscured. Their disappearance was rarely talked about. It was as if they never existed at all.

"I can see the look on your face. I'm glad at least you know who we are."

I shook my head. "All I know is your people faded out decades ago."

"Faded out?" He let out a humorless chuckle. "Is that what they taught you in school?"

"We never learnt of your pack. I found that out lately."

The smile slipped from his face for a moment. "We didn't fade out. We were wiped out. Well, at least the majority of us. Our remaining survivors were those who happened to be away at that time! This place is what remains of my people. Welcome to my humble home."

His 'humble home' was a mansion that could rival my family home back in my pack. The grounds were neatly kept and hot a hedge was left uneven.

"Let me show you around." The easy smile returned to his face. "Follow me please."
