AUTHOR'S POV
Scott was sitting back on the sofa resting his cheek on his hand, and his other arm across his abdomen. He is at the villa, but his mind is clouded with visions of Lucas' hands on Diana.
Christina stood up in front of him, with her hand across her chest and her foot tapping the floor. She can't believe what just happened between some random girl and Scott. She gave him an eye, as if waiting for an explanation
"Christina, will you stop? I'm starting to get a headache", Scott said, as he's about to lose his patience, rubbing his temple. He irked on the fact that Lucas crossed the line touching and staring at his Luna. Additionally, walking her back with her hand in his arm? He couldn't even touch her hair, and here's Lucas getting closer to Diana when they only just met.
Christina stopped and looked at Scott. "So this girl, do you like her?", she asked as she clenched her jaw.
Scott wanted to be frank and tell Christina that his entire existence is meant for Diana… that he finally imprinted. But, he doesn't want to rush things since, he still have questions about her whole being. If only she imprinted on him too, it wouldn't be as complicated as now. "You don't have to worry about that", he answered.
Christina didn't totally accepted such response from Scott, but it was enough for her to loosen up. For years, she have tried to persuade Scott to be his mate given that Christina's family came from a bloodline of Omegas. She thought that if she changed her fate and hooked up with an Alpha like Scott, she'd be able to start a bloodline of Alphas in their family. A change in her destiny.
"Fine, I just can't believe she rode Apollo. That horse is unpredictable. And the strawberry shortcake? You never even gave me one, not even once!", she sat down pouting her lips. Christina once touched Apollo, he bit her and almost trampled her down.
"Because you're allergic to strawberries! And maybe Apollo's mood is changing", he laughed at how childish she is. Christina may have a very strong personality, but at times, she's naive. Growing up, she get to have a taste of everything she wants. "Fine, I'll make you a different one then", Scott said just to make her stop doing this nonsense.
"Really??", her mood suddenly changed and smiled sweetly, jumping onto Scott hugging his arm. He then nodded in approval.Next thing they know, Lucas opened the door with a grinning smile.
"Okay! I'll just go freshen up! We'll have the bonfire party tonight l, right?", Christina said as she stood up and and then grabbed her purse.
"Yep, go. And wear something decent, you'll scare the people away", Lucas said aiming a bolster pillow at her.
"F*ck off, Lucas! I'll just go to the restroom", she dodged the pillow and flipped her hair as she have gone into the hallways.
Scott who was tilting his head back felt someone staring at him. He looked at his side and found Lucas sitting pretty, batting his eyes several times as he lean towards him.
"What??", he furiously asked.
"First… You. Are. One. Lucky. Alpha.", Lucas said with a slow clap. Lucas have always had a good eye in women, and he certainly would say the Diana is an epitome of elegance and explicit beauty.
"Here we go..", Scott said as he rubbed his face with his palms and laid down on the sofa hugging a pillow. He couldn't hide his smile.
"The question is.. why did she not imprinted on you?", Lucas asked in a serious tone, leaning backwards.
"I knew you would figure it out soon. What do you think?", Scott sighed facing up.
"Are you sure you imprinted on her?", he curiously asked glancing at Scott.
"One hundred percent.. The world stopped spinning at the sight of her. There's d*mn butterflies in my f**kin' stomach when she smiles. And her scent… it drives me wild." He nonhesitantly said, confirming his feelings to Diana. "Her scent, it's faint though, compared to what the elders say that the scent of a mate is usually strong like… it's the only thing you can smell . But with her, I need to be in a certain distance to smell her scent. Faint but enough to make me go crazy", he added and closed his eyes imagining visions of her.
"According to our archives, Alpha males are most commonly attracted to Alpha females. But, our clan don't ever imprint on humans.", Lucas pursed his lips as he exhales. "Do you think she knows she's a wolf?", he asked.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out, and my sense of control is being tested these days", Scott said hugging the pillow even harder.
"I can tell! Haha.. She looks so familiar by the way. I wonder where I saw her", Lucas said as he bit his lower lip.
"She's not a prostitute and she doesn't go to pubs and bars full of harlots.", Scott teased, shaking his head lightly side to side.
"I'm offended! I am a very clean, and decent man.", Lucas said glaring at Scott.
"Hey, can you figure out who invited her in this island?", Scott sat upright and looked for his lighter in his pocket and lit a cigarette.
"I'm on it. And uh.. I invited her to the bonfire tonight by the way", he awkwardly smiled at Scott showing his white set of teeth.
"You didnt dare?!", Scott didn't invited her on purpose because he knows she doesn't like crowded places and also, he doesn't like the idea of men staring at her.
"Because why not??", Lucas said as he enjoying teasing Scott. "I live for the moments that Scott Devlin gets his self control".
"I don't want her to be seen by other men. And you, hands off my Luna", as Scott threw a pillow on Lucas.
Meanwhile, Christina was listening by the door, standing closeby in silence. "So she didn't imprint..", she softly whispered and smirked.
BACK IN DIANA'S BUNGALOW
"Bonfire party, huh?", Diana mumbled as she soak in the bath tub, with her hair twisted up holding a cold bottle of orange juice against her face while staring at the beautiful scenery of the ocean out the window. The sun was about to set, giving her a serene view. She put down the bottle and took a sponge to scrub her delicate skin. She sat upright and scrubbed her back, then the side of her right hip, and on the other side where she had a deep scar when she was little. It was too dreadful, that she had it covered up with a dreamcatcher tattoo.
She didn't have a good memory how it happened. But ever since she was little, she would always have nightmares of her being attacked by a big bad wolf. Her mother told her it was something not worth remembering, and it is best for them to clear their minds with an unspoken truth. Diana thought getting a dreamcatcher tattoo would keep the bad dreams away, as it covered the scar of a terrible past. She was about to get out of the tub when suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
