Lucas' POV
Fucking Zackery! I'll fucking kill him! I swear I'll fucking cut him into pieces and feed him to my hounds! I thought to myself as I was riding back to the camp. "It's been raining and the road is really muddy. I don't think you should ride that fast." My wolf said in my mind. "Shut the fuck up, Finn! I paid for the fucking construction of this road and I didn't pay for a fucking puddle of mud!" I shouted and whipped Torrent again. He started to run even faster. "I don't like the idea of you being tortured, but I want you to know that you can't cut anyone into pieces when you break your neck. You won't be able to hold your own dick," Finn said. "Finn, you're a fucking son of a bi..." I haven't finished the thought when Torrent slipped over something and fell to the ground. I was thrown off the back of the horse and dropped to the ground. I rolled a few rounds on the ground and lay in a puddle of water on theLucas' POV As we were in a fucking heated conversation, Torrent walked towards me cautiously and poked his nose at my body. I guessed he wanted to know if I was still alive or not. I tapped his nose. He moved back a few steps and snorted, looking guilty and hurt. Then, I heard the sound of hooves. "Is that Alpha Lucas!" "It's him! That's his horse!" "He's lying in a puddle of water!" "Is he dead?" "I told you to pick up your speed! Now he's dead. How are we going to tell Miss Louisa about it?" "Wait a moment, he isn't dead. He's still moving... He's standing up! He's still alive!" I recognized that was the voice of Louisa's new personal guards, whom I had paid to protect her. A bunch of fucking morons. Seven elongated dwarves. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked. "Alpha, Miss Louisa sent us here. She said she didn't think you should ride alone." "I've told you. She's a keeper," my wolf said. "Fuck off, Finn," I said in my mind. "What's your nam
Lucas' POV I threw the fucking warlock on the floor as soon as I got into my tent. "Master, please..." He was begging like a fucking dog on the floor. I took off my shredded clothes and pulled up his hair, forcing him to look at the rope in my hand. "What the fuck is this?!" "Master, it's a rope..." He whispered. I slapped him and roared, "I know it's a fucking rope! You fucking imbecile! Do you recognize it?!" "I don't... Master..." He answered in a trembling voice. Blood kept coming out of his mouth. "You don't know it?!" I lashed him with the rope. "Are you telling me that you don't know anything about it?!" His body distorted in pain and curled up. "Master... It's a sailor's knot. It's from the sea... Maybe the druids..." he whispered. I stepped on his fucking shoulder and said, "Someone tried to kill me with this fucking rope tonight! So you do know something about it, don't you?" "Master, please..." He gasped in pain and pleaded. "I don't have anything
Louisa's POV "Where are you going, little girl?" When I was trying to get out of the tent and rescue Darren, I bumped into Zackery. "You can't go out, Miss Louisa. It's Alpha's order," Mick stopped me and said. "And Your Excellency, I'm afraid that you can't get into Alpha's Tent," Lynel said. Zackery smiled at me and said, "Little girl, your new guards are on fire." "I'm sorry, Zackery. They're just doing their jobs," I said. "I'm not blaming them. I feel happy for you that you can find such dutiful personal guards," Zackery said. "But at the same time, I do have to take you for a check-up in my tent." Mick and Lynel had an incredible look on their face. My face started burning and I lowered my head. "Well, that sounds really weird when I say it out loud." Zackery's voice sounded amused. "But anyway, I have to find a way to take you out of the tent. Should I try digging a tunnel?" "What's going on here?"
Louisa's POV "You seem to be preoccupied with some troubles rather than pain." Zackery looked down at me and said. His flawless face looked amazing in the silver moonlight. "You seem to enjoy carrying me around in your arms," I said. "I'm not a doll or a pet." "You want me to put you down now?" he asked. "I would be more than happy to take a walk with you under this beautiful moonlight." I shook my head. I knew the moment he put me down, I would feel the excruciating pain caused by Lucas. He smiled with great satisfaction. He always looked so powerful, modest, and confident with his sparkling smile and dazzling charm. "How does it feel to be a Lycan?" I asked. "I don't know. I was born this way. I have never experienced any other kind of life. All I can say is that life is good." "Zabel played a trick with me today," I said. "He called it 'the Secret Passage'. Wherever we went, the door opened by itself."
Louisa's POV "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I'm afraid I have other engagements tonight. Doctor Jafar and I have to take His Highness Zabel to the Moonlight Cave. The salt in the cave is considered to be helpful for His Excellency's condition." Lucian stood in front of Zackery and said. "Moonlight Cave? I have never been there before. Can I tag along?" Zackery said. Jafar frowned and said, "Your Excellency, it's getting late and we'll have to spend the whole night in the cave for His Excellency's treatment." "A whole night camp out beside the bonfire? I'm in. Let's go." Zackery looked quite excited. Lucian looked reluctant and said, "Your Excellency, it's a dark cave with sulfide. We can't set up any bonfire inside." "OK, so no bonfire. I'm OK with that. Do you want to go, little girl?" Zackery looked at me and asked. "I've heard it's a beautiful cave with thousands of stalactite and crystals. We can go inside and explore while Zabel'
Louisa's POV Akela's tent was in the western part of the camp, which was close to the mountainside. A stream was flowing down the mountain, through the aqueduct, and into the camp. All the bushes of plants around the tent were maintained neatly, but only a small bush of sedge adjacent to the back of the tent looked a bit messy. As soon as I walked into Akela's tent, I smelled something salty and fishy. It reminded me of the fish market that I had been to. "Did you smell it?" I asked Zackery. "Yes, and it's like a shark rotting inside of a puddle of water," Zackery said. "Soldiers, open the window right now. I can't stand the stench of this place." "Wait!" I stopped the soldiers and said to Zackery, "Let me take a look at the window first." Zackery walked towards the back window of the tent with me staying in his arms. The window was completely shut, but I noticed that it had been tampered with because there was a piece of clot
Louisa's POV As soon as the soldiers poured the hot oil into the well, I heard screaming and screeching coming from it. Then, I heard the splashing sound of things getting into the water. When the sound disappeared, I quickly ran to the other side of the canal. Just when I arrived there, I saw two dark shadows shooting out of the darkness in the water. "We caught them!" the soldiers shouted. "Cover them with sacks! Now!" I raised my voice. Several soldiers jumped at the two creatures and covered their heads with sacks. As we walked closer, I saw their hairy legs kicking in the webs. "Ahhhh! I can't see anything!" "Shut up, dickhead! You're stepping on my feet!" "We are trapped in the webs and me stepping on your feet is the only concern on your mind?!" "Let's kick the webs and get out of here!" "Strap their legs! They try to break the webs!" I told the soldiers. They used ropes to tie
Louisa's POV "Are you going to touch my brother?" The tuna head winked his giant eyes and stared at me. "Are you sure? He's pretty slimy. Your hands and dress will be dirty," he added. OK. So he's the one who's having priority issues. I thought to myself. "Your brother's life is on a thread. You don't have to worry about my dress and hands getting dirty. Come on, he's too big. I can't move him by myself. I need your help," I said and pulled his brother's arm. The tuna head looked at me as if he was about to cry. Then, he moved right in front of me and gave his brother a push. The tuna head's brother rolled over and started to cough violently. I patted his slimy scaled back, trying to help him to cough it out. After another episode of coughing, he finally spat out some pus-like sticky fluid on the ground. Something was shining in the fluid. I picked it up and saw it was a diamond ring, which I saw Akela wearing earlier t
