****LUCA’S POV***
Now I totally understand what it feels to find your mate. Seeing Amber made me realize I didn’t actually love Rhoda in the way I always thought. Let’s say I love her as a sister and not really as a partner and I was attracted to her kindness and meekness.
Just a second of seeing Amber, I forgot everything that brought me here, everything about Rhoda. The pains in my heart disappeared and was replaced by excitement.
Now we are both in my car and heading to my house. I can’t wait to show her to my parents and most especially Rhoda. I need to also warn her about Lisa’s plan, I can’t let Lisa harm any of them.
I drove into our compound and stepped down then opened the door for my pretty mate. She’s so beautiful that I even forgot Rhoda’s beauty.
A small cute round face, Captivating blue eyes just like Rhoda’s, small pointed nose and a baby pink lips. She’s tall and slender having a little curve which accentuated her figure.
I smiled at her and she smiled back then took my hands and we walked in to see my parents.
“Mom” I called out to my mother who was sitting at the dinning and speaking to one of the maid.
“Good afternoon Luna” Amber greeted bowing slightly.
“Son I heard you came back earlier angry what’s wrong? And you didn’t even go to school, who’s this lady beside you?” She queried and I smiled widely.
“Mom forget about whatever that brought me back home from school, now meet my beautiful mate Amber” I introduced and her eyes widened then she rushed out from her seat and dragged Amber to her embrace.
“Oh you are a beauty my dear, thank you for showing at this time that my son needed you the most, I can see the happiness bubbling in him” she said hugging Amber tightly.
“Thank you Luna” Amber Muttered and my mom frowned, “call me Mother hunny because you are now part of the family and will become the future Luna someday” she said making Amber blush.
“Mom we’ll be back soon, I need to take to somewhere and also go meet her parents so she could move into the house” I said and she nodded, I took Amber’s hands and we walked out of the house.
“Am so happy your mother likes me, I’ve been scared the whole time thinking she wouldn’t” she said in her tiny voice.
“She has no choice than to like you and you know, the reason why I was like that in the wine bar you’re serving was because of my Ex who found her mate and left me, so my mother is happy you are here to take away my pains” I said and she smiled.
“Where are we going?” She asked and I turned to look at her, she’s pouting her lips and now, I want to kiss her so bad.
“We are going to my Ex’s house. You know apart from being my ex, she’s also my best friend. We grew up together and she’ll be so happy to see you” I said and she nodded.
We got to Rhoda’s new house and I parked then opened the door for Amber.
“Wow, this house is so big and beautiful” she muttered and I nodded. “Yeah, her mate is Jayden the Alpha in line of the Darkmoon’s pack and he got her the house to celebrate her birthday” I said and her eyes widened.
“Let’s go, I took her hands and we got to the porch, I rang the doorbell and waited, soon the door opened and a lady was standing beside it. I guess their help.
“Hello, I’m here to see Rhoda” I said and she nodded before opening the door and we got in.
“Make yourself comfortable while I go call her” she said and started going upstairs.
Amber is looking around the house in awe, I don’t blame her, this house is so big and beautiful.
“Luca!!! Rhoda called out and hugged me smiling widely. “You came to visit me?” She asked unbelievably and I nodded.
“Wow and who is this stunning damsel beside you!” she asked raising her brows and looking from me to Amber.
“Wait a minute, don’t tell me she’s your Mate” she whispered and I nodded then she let out a piercing scream then jump on me.
“Babe what’s going on” Jayden asked coming towards us. He threw me a look but I smiled in return.
Rhoda ran to him and dragged his hands closer to us, “look baby Luca has found his mate, isn’t she beautiful?” She asked smiling widely.
“Yeah she is, congrats man” Jayden said and pulled me to a brotherly hug while Rhoda already dragged Amber away from us. Jeez I can’t even tell who’s more happy between me and her.
****RHODA’S POV****
I dragged Luca’s mate to the garden at the backyard and we sat down on the bench. Looking at her, she seemed to be a very shy girl as she kept on picking her finger.
“You are so beautiful, what’s your name” I asked and she blushed before calling out Amber with a little voice that I find captivating.
“Amber, that’s a beautiful name” I said and she blushed more. “You are an angel in human form, I’ve never seen such a beauty like yours?” She said shyly making me blush.
“Thank you” I muttered and we chatted a little while before she totally loosened up and became free around me. She’s such a funny and lively lady and I’m sure Rose would love her. I’m calling Rose and telling her the good news.
“Rose came as soon as I told her and I’m even wondering if she flew down her in such a short time.
She’s trying to still Amber away as soon as she saw her but ofcourse I won’t allow that. We got a new girl in our clique and I’m super excited about it.
“Let’s go bake some cookies” I said and they both nodded happily, we rushed into the kitchen.
Rebecca help with getting out all the ingredients we needed and I called Jada to inform her about it, she couldn’t wait for me to finish before she screamed out excitedly and started rushing down the stairs.
I could hear her yelling at Mudy to give her the car key. I can’t believe she’s this happy because of a cookie. She has moved into my family house to be more closer to Mudy.
We were still preparing the floor when the door flew open and she rushed in panting. “Damn Jada did you run from Moonstone down to Darkmoon?” I asked not able to hold my laughter. Rose and the others are already laughing hard and I joined them.
“Get away from me, where the hell is the fresh cookie?” She asked with an eye roll and I pointed at the flour.
“Really? You haven’t started and you called me already” she frown and I laughed more.
“I told you we were making a cookie but I never told you to run from your house with different slipppers” I said falling down in laughter. I just noticed she was wearing two different slipppers and I can’t control my laughter.
Amber is laughing the most and her laughter is so contagious, with her tiny voice. We can’t help to laugh so hard that I felt like peeing on myself.
Jada hissed and stomped out of the kitchen. “OMG, this is so hilarious” Amber said in her tiny voice and we started laughing again.
“I can’t do this anymore, I want to pee so badly” I laughed and ran out to go pee.
We baked the cookies and some cupcakes, when we were done, Jada took the larger portion saying it’s the compensation for laughing at her.
We let her take as much as she wants because he baked enough to reach everyone and still remain.
Sis Rhoda there’s this lady that came here in the morning, she gave me a substance and told me to put it in your food alone but I suspected it was a bad substance then I refused to add it to your food” Rebecca said giving me a nylon which contains a whitish substance.
“That’s Lisa, she’s the one behind the pasta Jayden ate that was drugged with an aphrodisiac” Luca said and my eyes widened.
“Why would she do that?” I asked and Luca went down on his knees and confessed everything they planned on that day but told us he has already backed down and warned Lisa to stay away from us, he also said it was part of his reason for coming here.
I don’t blame him that much for trying to separate Jayden and I so I forgave him. Jayden called a doctor who came to examine the substance and it was found out that it the substance is a poison meant to slowly damage my system and kill me within 48yrs.
“I can’t believe Lisa would go to the extent of killing me in order to take Jayden away” I muttered, tears trickling down my eyes.
Jayden called the police and gave them Lisa’s address. I pulled Rebecca to a big hug, thanking her for saving my life and not letting the huge amount of money Lisa offered her get into her head.
“It’s okay and she’s been exposed, the police will handle it and she’ll rot in jail so don’t cry baby, no one willl ever take you away from me” Jayden consoled and I nodded crashing into his embrace.
I held on tightly to him weeping in his arms while he console me. If Rebecca wasn’t a nice lady then she would have gladly poured the substance in my meal and I’ll be dead in 2days time.
“What wrong did I ever do to Lisa, is it my fault Jayden became my mate? Why would she go to the extent of trying to kill me”
Jayden kissed my tears away and slammed his lips on my shutting me up from lamenting, I melted in his mouth and kissed him back.
******LISA’S POV******
Hahahahah I’m one step closer to achieving my goals and by this time next tomorrow, she’ll be dead and I’ll go to Jayden as a comforter, drug him and get him to sleep with me, I’ll make sure he cums in me thereby getting me pregnant and with that, he will have no choice than to be with me since his mate is dead.
Hahaha, I’m such a smart master planner. She thinks she can come from nowhere to spoil things for me and that useless Luca that quit all because he found his mate, I’ll still deal with him when I’m done dealing with Rhoda.
I had gone to the their house after Luca ditched out and it took alot of convincement before the security allowed me in. I had told them I’m Rhoda’s cousin and after searching me, they allowed me in.
I knew there would be a lot of security there considering the fact that the house is so big so I came prepared making sure I hid the substance inside my breast. Of course I would never allow them dip hands into my breast in the name of searching me.
I awed when I got to the second gate where I met more securities. The house is even more beautiful than the picture Luca showed me.
It will all be mine in two days time and even the cars he got her would all be mine, hahahahah.
I rang the doorbell and their house help opened the door. I offered her a huge amount of money and ofcourse she agreed to do the job perfectly.
I’ll just sit and relax then await for the news of her demise. A Knock sounded on my room and I yelled for the person to get in and not break down the door.
The door burst open and four men in police uniform surrounded me with my mother crying behind them.
“What are you people doing in my room? Have you lost your senses?” I yelled and one of them scoffed and showed me his police ID.
“Miss Lisa Smith, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of one Mrs Rhoda and you have the right to remain silence for whatever you say will be used against you in the court of law” he said and my heart flew into my chest.
“What have you done Lisa, I warned you about this but you assured me you wouldn’t dare it yet you went ahead and try to kill her because of greed and selfishness, what has gotten over you and what do I tell your father when he returns from his trip” my mother weeped falling to the floor.
The police cuffed me and I followed them out in pain and regret. I didn’t get to kill her and I didn’t get to have Jayden also, now I’m going to rot in jail because the Jayden I know would never set me free
Tears trickled down my eyes as I climbed into the police van waiting outside for me and they drove off.
