Louisa's POV
As I looked back at the girl, who was strangled by the snake, she had already stopped struggling. Her hands dangled down on the side of her body like a lifeless doll. I couldn't sit and watch an innocent life being taken, so I used all my force to kick the table in front of me. With a loud noise, all the plates of food and glasses of drink were smashed on the ground. The music ceased. At the same time, the snake immediately got off the girl's body and changed into a naked man. As he lifted his head to look at me, I gasped with surprise - "Darren?!" At the same time, I was grabbed from behind by someone. Just when I was about to protest, I heard Alpha Zackery's gentle and concerned voice. "Little girl, what happened? Did you get hurt?" I looked up and saw him holding me in his arms. I took a glance at Lucas, who was looking ferociously at me. At that time, I heard a wave of violent cough behind me. ILouisa's POV "Not really. I'll escort this young lady back to the carriage." Alpha Zackery stood up as well, holding me in his arms. "Are you sure, Your Excellency? You don't get this kind of sport in King's Land." Lucas leered at him and asked. "I'm very sure of that." Alpha Zackery replied, walking me out of the tent. Lucas kicked Darren and walked out of the tent with us, followed by Lucian and Darren from a distance. I strained my ears to listen to what they were saying. "He's done with you, Darren." Lucian's voice was cold and blunt. "Master Lucian, please give me another chance..." Darren begged in despair. Lucian asked in a reserved voice, "When I got you back from the brothel, what did I tell you?" "You asked me to serve Master Lucas faithfully and I should always do what he has asked me to do." "So what makes you think that you can outsmart and betray him?" "I'm sorry, Mast Lucian... Please give
Lucas' POV "Did you kill all of them?" I asked Lucian. "Yeah." He replied absent-mindedly. "All of them?" I asked. "Yes. Seven dancers and ten musicians. All of them." He looked at me and said. He looked very distracted and annoyed. I stretched out my arm and slapped his face gently. "What's the matter? Where's the famous Lucian smile?" I asked. He slapped my hand away and said, "I don't feel like smiling." "Come on, dead people don't talk. Nobody will ever know about what we wanted to do." I said, taking up my bow and aiming at a running slave. They were wearing orange prey suits sewn to their skin, so it was easy to spot them in the greeneries of the forest. It isn't fair. I know. But let's just say life isn't a fair game, is it? Lucian said, "Zack started to get suspicious of you. And your woman is in his custody. Luke, I really don't think we should continue with our plan. You've been fighting
Louisa's POV Blanco stopped at the edge of the hunting ground. I patted his neck and said, "What happened old chap?" Blanco snorted and shook his head. "I can't go in there. They're flying arrows. It's too dangerous," he said. "OK. So you stay here and wait for us," I said. Blanco neighed, "What?! You can understand me?!" "Yeah," I said. I flipped off his back with Will and was about to get into the woods, but my hair was pulled by something. When I turned back, I saw that Blanco was chewing my hair. "Don't do that. That's my hair, not hays," I protested. "I know. But I can't let you get in there. You'll be shot dead and nobody can talk to me," Blanco said. "What is he saying?" Will looked up and asked me. I lifted him in my arms and said, "Will, I need you to change into mist and get in the woods to look for Darren. Blanco says there will be some flying arrows." "They won't get me. Don't wo
Louisa's POV "What is it?" I asked. "I can't tell you unless you feed me and stroke me." Blanco shook his head while staring at the grass next to my feet. I sighed and picked up more grass and put them into his mouth. His ears flicked back and forth, so I stroked them gently. "Can you tell me now?" I frowned and asked. Blanco munched and said, "I saw you before when you were little." "What?!" I was shocked. "What do you mean?" "When you were little, like this big." He shook his head from side to side, drawing the length of a forearm. "You mean when I was a baby?" I asked. "Un-huh," Blanco said and took another bite of grass. "But... Where did you see me? How do you know it was me?" I stroked him and asked. "I sniffed you at that time and I recognized your smell," he replied. I couldn't believe what I heard and said, "You were a little pony at that time. A lot of people have the same smell. I
Louisa's POV "What the fuck did you say your name is?" Lucas looked shocked. "You've heard me. Louisa Reeds. That's my real name," I replied. I wasn't afraid of him anymore. This shenanigan must end today. I thought to myself. Lucas flipped me over, lifted my chin, and looked into my eyes. His straight nose, chiseled jawline, and amazing dark blue eyes were stunning. He was so close to me. I could easily tip-toe and kiss him. How I wished I could hold his face and kiss him gently, like the way I kissed Finn. The sweetness of love and passion was rolling over and over, spreading all over my body, electrifying my heart. I know it was impossible to get his love. But perhaps, at least, I could steal a kiss from him before he rejected and killed me. "Do you want me to reject you now, Louisa?" He asked me. That was the first time he called my name. All the elements in my body were turned on. My body was trembli
Louisa's POV As I stood at the entrance of the stable, I immediately sensed the smell of blood and flesh. My heart was pounding so fast that it almost got out of my chest. I could feel that Will held me tighter. He buried his face in my chest and wrapped his arms and legs around my body. "Do you want me to hold him?" Lucian asked. I lowered my head and looked at Will. He was unconscious, with his eyes half-open and half-closed. He looked so sick. "It really wouldn't be a good idea to take him inside," Lucian added. He stretched out his arms and took Will into his arms. Lucas pushed me from behind and said, "Get in there now." I was pushed down to the floor. When I lifted my head, I saw Darren. Or to be more specific, I saw the remains of him. He was lying there naked in a pool of blood. The skin on his chest and arms was completely peeled off. His eyes were closed. I couldn't tell if he was alive or dead.
Louisa's POV "Fucking bitch!" I jumped up, feeling the excruciating burning sensation coming from my hand. I looked at that fucking she-wolf, who was holding hand with that fucking warlock. What the fuck is wrong with her?! I'm fucking her right now, for fuck's sake, and she's holding another man's hand?! I canceled the imprint in my mind immediately. Her hand was severely burnt, but she still wouldn't let go. I waved my hand and tried to shift the pain away from me, but it was still there. Didn't she swallow the fucking ring? Isn't that supposed to block all her fucking feelings from me? I looked at that fucking she-wolf. She passed out because of the pain. So there's no fucking way to make her tell me what the fuck had just happened. That fucking warlock struggled to crawl to her like a fucking dog and held her in his arms. What the fuck is he doing? He wants to use his fucking torso as a broken shield to bloc
Louisa's POV Rustling sound. That was the only sound I heard in oblivion. Then, the rustling sound was replaced by a muffled male voice. "Wake up, Louisa. He needs your help." I heard my wolf's voice. I struggled to open my eyes and saw Alpha Zackery and Lucas standing in front of me. They were talking about something. My head was buzzing so loudly that I couldn't hear them clearly. I looked aside and saw Darren lying on the ground, curling up in pain. He had already lost consciousness. I shook my head and tried to sit up, but I immediately felt the pain coming from my hand. It was burnt so severely that it charred. I bit my lips so I didn't cry out loud. The good thing was, the pain offset the buzzing sound in my head, so I could hear what they were talking about. "... I walk out of this stable with your woman in my arms and you can't do anything about it. So why don't you stop talking guff and give me a number
