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 fightingLouisa'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
Louisa's POV Lucas didn't push me away. My reckless expression of love didn't make him upset. Instead, he wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me in his arms. I wrapped my legs around his waist, like that was the place they were born to be placed. He felt so warm and smelt so good. I knew I was the missing part of his body. I wished I could be stuck on him like this for the rest of my life. When he stopped kissing me, my eyes still remained closed. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes, only to see Alpha Zackery had already left. I didn't know what happened, so I must have looked confused. "Fuck, that was a close one." Lucas rubbed his forehead, trying to wipe the sweat that was not there. Then, he lowered his head and looked at me, which was still clinging to him. "He's gone. You can stop pretending and get off me now, little sloth." Lucas looked at me seriously and said. I refused to let go of him and presse
Louisa's POV "Why are you smirking like that, little nymph?" Lucas looked at me and asked while walking me into the bath. It was an open-air hot spring spot located in a secluded spot in the forest. "I like you better when you're around Lucian. You look very delightful and relaxed." I said. "Really? You should see him when he gets fucking mad." Lucas said while removing my clothes. As soon as he peeled off the jacket from me, he gasped in pain and waved his hand. "Ouch! It hurts!" He said. I immediately realized what happened. Alpha Zackery's ring was in the jacket. When it came off me, Lucas could feel the pain I was going through. I jumped off him quickly and searched for the ring in the jacket's pocket. As soon as I picked it up in my hands, Lucas calmed down. "Sorry." I apologized to him, holding the ring in my hand. Lucas looked at me and asked curiously, "Is that the ring? I thought you had swallowe
