Alpha of Doom
CHAPTER 36: BLOODIED AND BRUISED

"LUCA STOP IT!" I blink my eyes open hearing the cries. "LUCA PLEASE STOP! You're hurting him" she whimpers, I frown and stand up. I open the door and follow the noises to the lounge room, I gasp "Luca!" I exclaim.

I fume running towards him as he punches my brother repeatedly, blood rushing out of Xavier's nose and bruises on his arms and legs. He's just like alpha Jones

I push him away from Xavier knowing he won't hurt me, Lexi rushes towards her mate crying.

I turn facing Luca angrily "how could you! Why? Why would you do this? He's my brother and Lexis mate, even if he wasn't my brother or Lexis mate then it still doesn't make it right!" He breathes heavily, his eyes showing no emotion; it's like the old him is coming back.

I stomp up to him "why Luca?!"

"I did it because of you" he growls "you don't need to try and force me to tell you all of my secrets, what a great way for payback" he glares and I gasp.

"Stop acting so heartless!" I exclaim punching his chest with angry tears "please... Please don't become who you were again, I thought you loved me" I say stopping punching him and resting my head on his bare chest. "I... I do love you Lily."

I look at my brother who is bruised and bloodied in his mates arms, his eyes closed.

"You hurt him... Because we got in a fight Luca- you could hurt him again or me" I whisper.

"N-no! I would never hurt you, I love you Lily" he says his eyes pleading.

"This isn't love Luca, punishing my brother because of me. You are hurting me, it hurts Luca" I say tears coming out of my eyes.

"Do you still love me?" He asks grabbing me by the waist, I look down "do you Lily?" He questions getting more nervous by the minute.

I look up at him and open my mouth to speak "I... I don't know" I do. I do love him.

But I can't tell him that, not after this.

My heart breaks seeing the heartbroken expression on his face, he cups my cheeks "y-you love me, of course you do" he says trying to reassure himself. "This is unforgivable" I whisper pushing away from him, I walk up to Lexi and my brother and crouch down.

Lexi looks at her brother "I HATE YOU LUCA!" She screams, he swallows.

I bite my lip and wipe my brothers hair out of his face, I blink back the tears trying to be strong and I stand.

I get the first aid kit and place it next to Lexi, she looks up at me "T-thank you Lily" I nod and look at Xavier.

"J-just take care of him" she nods and I walk away following Luca.

He turns around looking down at me with no emotion at all, how dare he? He can't just act like this after doing that to Xavier!

We hurt and that's okay to show it, letting it out is better then keeping it locked away inside of you. It causes you pain. "Stop it" I shake my head.

He doesn't move, doesn't look down at my body thinking of grabbing me and comforting me just to try and make things better.

But Luca Knight doesn't do that, he doesn't do sorry's, physical support, kindness, he just doesn't do emotion!

"Stop what?" He asks monotone.

"Acting like this" I say.

"Acting like what?"

"Like you're not hurt, like you don't care; stop not showing emotion" I whisper, he shakes his head.

"I can't do that Lily" I frown.

"And why not?" I ask.

"Because then people are capable of doing very bad things to hurt me, I can't show them that I'm hurt."

"You showed me" I say trying to reason with him, he chuckles.

"Because it's you Lily, my Lily, my flower, mine. I thought I could be a better person and I was going fine but I always end up like this.... A beast" I shake my head. "That's not true."

"So you're not mad?" He questions and I glare.

"Of course I'm mad! I'm upset on so many levels, I think you need to stay away from me for a bit Luca. I-I just can't handle knowing what you did" he gulps. "Please don't do this" he pleads.

"I have to, I'm sorry" I whisper.

"At least tell me that you love me?" I look at him.

"I do love you, Luca. So much, but I'm just mad and upset so please understand that," and for just one second I see his eyes water, just a second.

~~

"How could he do that!?" I rotate the mug in my hands looking at the brown hot chocolate.

Of course it's brown!

"I just thought he had really changed Storm, you know?" She nods and my lips quiver, her eyes soften and she hugs me.

"Please don't cry again" I sniffle trying to contain them.

"I just can't help it" I say holding back the tears and laughing sadly.

"Why didn't you tell him that you love him though?" She questions and I sigh.

"I can't say that I love him after what he did to Xavier, that is just so wrong on so many levels. He doesn't deserve to know how much I love him" I say sadly.

"But he said that he loves you?" She questions.

I nod "yes" I whisper "yes, he did."

"And how did you feel?"

"Gosh Storm you are meant to make me forget about him, not talking about him!"

"Sorry! I just thought talking about it might help" I shake my head placing down the mug on the coffee table.

"No, it doesn't help; it hurts" I say looking her in the eyes, her blue orbs show sadness.

"I know, of course it's going to hurt Lils; you love him" she says grabbing my hand.

I look up at the ceiling blinking rapidly "love really does suck" she laughs sadly. "It really does."

So this was kind of a sad chapter...

But how could Luca do that just because of a stupid reason, sensitive males!

I'm so glad that it's the weekend after waking up at 6:30 in the morning for school, I'm so not used to that. So nice sleep ins tomorrow, it's 10:08 pm at the moment and I thought that I would update for you all. One more term and then I'm finished for the year, yay!

So I'm just gonna rant for a second... The guy I like (he's dating someone) remember him!? So yeah he's kind of continued always starting conversations with me on the same topic because he knows that I would want to prove a point, he keeps teasing me, staring at me around school and on the bus and I'm so confused; guys are impossible to read but I'm pretty sure that they think that about girls too
