The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 45

Luka's POV

"You look like you are in better spirits Alpa," Lylah said from behind me as I took the last two slow steps before I collapsed on my office chair.

"I am. Well, considering that I am still taking my time to walk. But... let's look at the bright side," I chuckled, crossing my arms against my ribs.

"How can I help?" I continued, knowing that she didn't come just to check on me.

She filled me in with the recent event about the book and the demon that is now back where he belongs. I exhaled with relief, knowing that we are now safe from that beast.

"Don't be too happy as of yet. We still have more demons to fight," she said looking at me seriously.

"So, do you have a plan?" I asked, having a feeling that she has more to say.

She raised her eyebrows and inhaled deeply.

"Yes. We do. You might not like it, but we need to leave for a while, at least until we get rid of all the demons that are still lurking around the world," she said stiffening her shoulders.

I nodded and smiled.

"I don't know how to repay you. You have done so much good for our pack and our kind."

She looked down at her feet shyly, holding the demon spellbook against her chest.

"I will ask Max, our taxi driver to take you back to the library. It's the least I can do for now," I told her lifting my arms for a handshake.

"Melody will remain here with you, so if anything comes up, she can help," she said, shaking my hand.

We both nodded, then she turned to leave.

"Stat safe and good luck," I added as she was about to leave my sight.

Melody's POV

I was quietly going through all the clothes I had recently placed in Jake's wardrobe, leaving just a little bit of space for his attire. My eyes rested on a military green dress that I have not worn for quite a while.

"This for sure," I mumbled to myself, taking it out from the wardrobe.

I smiled at it sheepishly, excited to wear it for the date I planned with Jake.

"Ah, you'll look amazing in that," he whispered in my ears as he tiptoed from behind me.

His closeness brought shivers down my spine, causing me to drop the dress to the floor. He turned me around swiftly and kissed my cheek softly and seductively, then he continued to kiss my nose and lips.

"You are the best thing that ever happened to me. But tell me, why do you colour your hair?" He asked moving a few strands from in front of my face. I chuckled shyly and shrug my shoulders.

"My natural hair colour is way too common I guess. I don't like common."

He eyed me for a while, then formed a smile.

"Who said you are common? Nothing about you is common. How common is it to find a witch around, especially a beautiful one like you?"
