Luka (Moroz Brothers Book 2) [COMPELTE]

LUKA 11

After dinner, that went surprisingly well, I was set on a night walk with my uncle. That way my aunt would be able to see my mate in her dress.

We were five minutes away when my uncle started to talk. "You know... not sharing the news it didn't just hurt your aunt." He told me and I looked over at him before out at the view.

"I am sorry uncle. It was new, I lied... and I didn't want to interrupt your trips." I told him and shrugged before shaking my head. "No excuse, I know. But you know me. I don't... personal things aren't what I do. You know that."

"I do know that; you're like Vlad in that way, and Vlad was the other one who had to be told on." He shook his finger a bit and I just looked around.

"So who did tell on me?" I knew Dimitri was the one I told, and if he said someone other than him I know Dimitri opened his mouth to the others as soon as we were off the phone.

"Vlad called me, told me that he heard Dimitri talking to you. He wanted to know if there was any news about anyone from you. He told me I had to track either your phone, your cards, or something else. I found you, I told him I had found you and then he made Dimitri crack by getting his lovely little mate to get it out of him."

"Patty made Dimitri talk?" I asked and laughed just a little bit when I thought of ways that she could have done that.

"Oh yes, apparently she used her methods she was taught by some Mark man." He waved it off again and I laughed knowing exactly who that was. "She told me happily that he lasted 5 minutes longer than she expected."

"Does that mean he lasted 5 minutes?" I asked and he shrugged.

"I didn't even want to hear what she did to him. As far as we know he will show up with broken fingers and a black eye." He told me and I knew Patty wasn't that physical with us. With me she used her pregnancy, she used it the night I left. Bringing it up and the worry of early labor had me stopping and listening to her.

"She is good for him." I told my uncle and he nodded before looking around.

"She is good for you too. We talked a lot, more than I am sure that you have talked to me in years."

"I talk to you uncle." I declared and he huffed a laugh.

"You my little Luka have been distant most of your life. I never knew what to do for you, and I never knew how to bring you in closer. Your Aunt Ruby used to tell me that we would lose you if you ever had the opportunity to leave." He told me and I looked down at the snow as we started to head a bit down hill.

"You know the only way that would happen is if she wanted to stay and she was a member of the royal family here." 

"Which she isn't, which is why your aunt is so happy that you won't be leaving. Vlad was never going to leave... Dimitri might still leave and goddess knows that Ivan needs his mate and fast...but they don't seem ready for that yet."

"I would definitely try and watch the show when they do find them. Who knows what those women will respond like. Every female in our pack has been touched by them. Did Vlad tell you why I left for a vacation?"

"Something about Ivan messing with you." He said and then he focused on me as if he wanted the full story, so I told him the full story and he growled low. "We leave less than 3 months and they are acting like that." He shook his head and rubbed at his chin. "We will talk with Vlad on enforcing the rules we put up from before."

"I am sure Patty took care of that." I told him and he nodded slowly as if pondering that.

"I should have gotten them their own places like I got you one. Somewhere to take the... women, they pick up." I knew he was stopping himself from disparaging any of the women from our pack, and I was slightly impressed that he got a word so fast, even if it was a simple word.

"I just hope they all behave themselves." I whispered and looked around. "We should head back." I told him and he sighed before he seemed to pause. I knew he was asking my aunt if they were ready for us, and that we were heading back.

We started walking, quiet again and it suited me just find but when her mothers house came into view he stopped and paused. "You know... Luka, your parents would be proud of what you do. I am not saying they would fully understand all the medical stuff, I don't, and maybe if your mom was around you wouldn't have needed the human so who is to say this wasn't fate or something. What I mean to say is, they would be happy that you are now happy, that you have a new mate, that she is supporting you, and they would want to get to know her just as if they would want to get to know you. How I wish I knew you."

"You know me uncle."

"I know how to read you. I know when to stop pushing you. In truth, you remind me of my father. He was a quiet man... he had a temper but it was always projected outwards of the family. Your wolf has always reminded me of his." He told me and I just nodded slowly. I knew about our grandfather as much as I knew about my father. The bits and pieces. The whole, nice, protective, loved your mother, type of things.

As far as I knew he loved my mother, he didn't want Vlad to cook so much so that Vlad hadn't cooked in the kitchens until she came along. Even now he still tried to hide it from us as if we would tell him it wasn't ok, or that we would make fun of him.

I didn't know how to open up without showing them everything. Dimitri understood very little... Vlad barely knew anything about what I do other than I don't share and I don't talk about it.

I had good long talks with Tino Clarke from America, he had been on the same road as me for some treatments like how miscarriages can happen and such things, but I was on a more deeper level of us vs. human diseases.  Even now as I got to my mate, as we said good night I wasn't sure how to bring it up.

I got to her little cabin, feeling a lot more comfortable than I have all morning since she had left.

I sat on her bed as she started to talk about where I could go tomorrow for my suit and such things. My brothers apparently had contacted my aunt and they confirmed they would be here tomorrow morning and would be happy to take my suit shopping.

I changed after a shower and she was in bed and rubbing lotion on her arms when I moved to slide in. "Are you going to be ok tomorrow when your brothers get here?"

"I will be. I am not the one that usually starts trouble. Like I said... Ivan likes to rub on my nerves." I told her and she nodded and moved down in the bed so she was facing me and I sank in like it was a nice hot bath and I turned to look at her as well. "If I get mad... keep your family away from me. I don't want to hurt anyone." I told her and she looked confused and I just sighed. "My brothers like to... they've called me the wolf that should have been a bear. I am grouchy and mean and if they push me too far my wolf takes full control. Vlad can handle me, my wolf recognizes him as alpha, he is our king... and he would never hurt you... but my other brothers, they are fair game where he is concerned and I don't want to hurt your family if it gets to that point."

"I don't want you to get upset with them. I want you to come and find me, leave them behind... I don't want you upset for anything Luka." He could tell that she was getting worried, and he didn't like the look it put on her beautiful face.

"It might not happen, they might behave themselves... I talk about them as if they are the same person. Dimitri is pulled along mostly by Ivan, he realizes too late who it will effect and most of the time, before Patty, he was the one to intervene and get Ivan to back off."

"I think I am going to like Dimitri. Is he going to be your best man?"

"My what?" I asked with a laugh and she smiled and titled her head at me before running her hand over my cheek and then my jaw.

"Best man... someone who stands with you as we are married."

"I think that will have to be Vlad, if he isn't marrying us then he has to be apart of the ceremony as the oldest and as the king."

"Ok." She told me and smiled before I saw her completely focus on my lips. "I... can we-"

I shushed her as I moved forward, getting her lips with mine, and I pushed her flat onto her back. I knew it wouldn't go farther than kissing, I didn't want to push her and if she had asked me to I wouldn't want to take something she was saving for our wedding night. I knew that was why she wanted to do it so soon, that's why some wolves do it quick.

I kissed her soft, feeling her hands on my shoulders, moving to one of my cheeks, into my hair, she opened her mouth and I dived in slowly. I took my time, enjoying her taste, enjoying her tongue movements against mine.

Violet was perfect. She was my perfect little mate... and I wouldn't ever think different. Not when I pulled away, not when she started to softly snore again, and definitely not when she woke up the next morning next to me with her hair all fuzzy from moving around and against me in her sleep.

"Good morning." I called out as she squirmed in closer to me as if trying to go back to sleep. I usually loved my sleep, I wanted to sleep in every day. But with her I find myself getting up early, looking over at her to make sure she was real, that she was still beside me, that this wasn't a dream.

"Is it really morning already? I just want to snuggle and sleep against you." She mumbled and I wished that was what could be done, but my brothers were coming, and I knew that they would come hunting me, and I didn't not want them to see her in her little home where we had created peace.

It wasn't long until they were dressed and heading to the resort. I was sitting at a big table with my mate, Costin had said he would ring the rooms that my brothers checked in and tell them that we were waiting, and I just looked over the menu until I heard Patty.

"Hi!" She cheered, her face was happy but there were also tears. I was worried but she smiled and moved to hug me as I stood. "They will be on their best behavior." She whispered before pulling away and going for my mate as Vlad pulled up the rear of his mate.

"Congratulations little brother." He smiled and we shook hands and I nodded. "They promised-"

"Patty told me." I cut him off so he didn't feel like the had to repeat it. He nodded and he moved to see my mate. "This is Violet."

"Pleasure." He held out his hand and she shook it before nodding her and then he smiled and took his mate into his arm. "Welcome to the family. I am sure my mate will... really enjoy having another woman around the palace." He gave Patty a kiss on the temple and she smiled at my mate.

"There he is!" I made a grab for her instantly, I heard Ivan, and I knew that he was going to be here within seconds.

"Violet this is my brother Ivan, and his twin Dimitri." I nodded to them both, and my wolf was rising as we both saw Ivan look her up and down.

"Nice job little brother." Ivan slapped my shoulder and I growled low as he went to touch her. "Don't be so jealous. She is yours..." He took a deep inhale before smirking. "Even if you haven't claimed her in any way yet." he smirked and I took a step to get closer.

"Ivan... take a seat." Dimitri grabbed his shoulder and moved him away from me. "Hi, nice to meet you, we are all sure that Luka will be happy with you. Can't wait to see the wedding." He nodded and moved to push on Ivan again so he was farther away. "I got you this time." Dimitri told me and I just nodded. "After breakfast we were told we had to find suits." 

"Yes, I need one." I told him and he nodded as they went to the menu and we were all quiet. I didn't want to look at Violet, I didn't want to see her face and see that she might not like my family... it was bad enough she would have to live with us.

I felt her hand touch my knee and I took a deeper breath before looking at her now. I sent her a smile and moved to take her hand in mine. We ordered and I tried to avoid topics that were going around the table.

I ate, and I got ready for us to head to get suits... it was going to torture me, and somewhere the goddess or my parents were pushing this into motion. Fate was a fickle b***h sometimes.
