Louisa’s POV

"Are you hurt?" I approached the black wolf and asked in a low voice.

There was still the bear’s blood dripping from his mouth.

His eyes were burning.

I didn’t dare to walk closer.

He looked at me and gulped. Then, he shook his head.

I looked at the massive carcass of the giant bear.

The black wolf turned away.

He walked to the river and started to wash off the blood on his snout.

I stood behind him and watch the blood diffusing in the water and disappeared.

The black wolf looked back and he must have seen the concern on his face.

He shook his head, so the water came off his fur.

The water splashed on me.

I stepped back in a panic, tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.

He looked at me and snorted.

Then, he walked to me and licked the water on my face.

His breath was still of the bitterness of blood.

"I’m afraid of you." I lowered my head and said, "Are you going to hurt me?"

He stopped licking me.

When I looked up at him, I saw a flash of vulnerab

    Lucas’ POV Fuck. Here it comes again. My wolf fucked up, I showed up and cleaned up the shit. I shifted into myself. "What the fuck have you done?" I asked my wolf. There was no response. Typical. If passive-aggressive behavior was a fucking competition, my wolf would be the champion of every single match. Just as he had won every single fight in his life. I got impatient. I ripped off the red cobra’s head and threw it on the floor, letting his eyes stare at its own fucking broken neck. Fucking dog. Good for nothing. Can’t even kill a snake properly. I lowered my head and looked down at the girl. There was white foam coming out of her mouth. Her eyes were bleeding. Her arms and legs were twitching. "Are you fucking kidding me?" I asked my wolf, "I let you out for less than a day, and this is what you’ve done?" There was still no response. "I’m talking to you. You fucking idiot." This filthy piece of furry junk has already got on my nerves. "I’ve heard you for the fi

    Louisa’s POV When I woke up, I couldn’t open my eyes. It seemed that they were covered by something moist. I tried to lift my arms or move my legs, but I couldn’t. Then, I felt that someone was on me. My chest was being pressed, so it was difficult for me to breathe. "I can’t… breathe…" I opened my mouth and gasped with air. My chest was still being pressed. Then, I started to feel the warmth between my legs. Waves of shooting pain started to be sent through my spine and spread all over my brain. I felt that I was ruptured. "Ah…" I moaned. I couldn’t move my body at all. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get away. Deprived of motion and visual abilities, the only thing I could do was endure the throbbing pain. "Please… Stop…" I whispered. But that made the pain more unbearable. It overrode all my other senses and made me deliberate. "Big paw… help me… please…" I cried out in despair. The pain suddenly stopped. The heavy thing on my chest was lifted. I could

      Louisa’s POV  "You have to remain still. Don’t move." my wolf said.  She seldom talks to me like this in my mind.  "Could you come out and help me, please?" I asked.  "No. The collar on your neck was dipped in wolfsbane. You can’t shift." she said.  I felt sweat dripping from my forehead.  Another spider arrived at my face.  I gasped.  "Don’t move." my wolf said.  "What are they doing? Are there more to come?" I was screaming silently, "I can’t do this anymore…"  "Stop panicking! You have to close your eyes and remain absolutely still. They won’t bite you if they think that you’re a rock." my wolf said.  I shut my eyes and mouth closed.  "The fear of spiders is a primal one. It’s an old phobia derived from our ancestors. I can’t help it." I said desperately to her.  "You can do whatever you want to do. Your fear is irrelevant. It’s all inside your mind. Just don’t let your fear overtake you. Just concentrate on healing yourself." my wolf said.  She was always so calm a

      Louisa’s POV  "Big paw! Is that you?" I stretched out my arms towards that figure.  The figure jumped quickly at me.  But as soon as he approached me, I realized that he wasn’t the big black wolf.  He was shorter and skinnier than him.  "Surprise, surprise." The voice sounded sinister, "A naked lady in the cave! Today’s really my lucky day."  My heart sank immediately.  "Don’t come closer!" I said, "I was just bitten by a red cobra and wolf spiders. If you touch me, you’ll be poisoned."  "I have never heard of anything more stupid than that." that voice smirked, "Poison isn’t contagious, but stupidity is. But since I’ve been alone for a really long tie, I guess I’ll take my chance today."  As he said, he started to approach me.  I used my only available hand to press against him.  "Stay away from me! My friend will come and he will rip you into pieces!" I screamed in a scratchy voice.  The elephants walking into the cave seemed to notice my scream, they started trumpetin

      Louisa’s POV  "Little rascal. What are you doing up on an elephant’s head?"  I heard a familiar voice.  I couldn’t believe what I heard.  "Uma?! Is that you?!" I cried out and tried to get down.  The mother elephant used her trunk to wrap me again.  She carried me and put me down next to a blurry figure.  I struggled to get up, but I could only lift my body up with one arm.  A pair of warm and gentle hands were placed on my waist and lifted me up.  Then, I smelt it. The fragrance of thyme and hypericum.  "Uma… It’s really you! I’m not dreaming! You’re here with me. You aren’t dead!" I cried in her arms.  Her skin was soft and tender.  "I know. I know. Little rascal. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have left you alone." she said.  I lifted my hands to touch her face.  Her eyebrows, her nose, her lips and her chin.  It was really her!  "Uma, Lucian said that you were dead…" I cried, "He said you bit your own tongue and you were burnt in the fire…"  "I am here, you little ra

      Louisa’ POV  Uma set up a bonfire in the middle of the clearing.  The moonlight and dim flame light combined together and illuminated her flawless silhouette.  All of my limbs regained mobility.  So I crawled down the big black wolf’s back and took out some potion from my baggage.  I walked towards the mother elephant, looked up and said, "Thank you for helping me. I’m going to apply some potion to your leg. If you leave the wound like this, it will get inflamed."  The elephant flapped her ears for acknowledgment.  I poured some potion on her leg.  Her leg twitched for a bit.  "Is that hurt?" I asked.  "I’ve got worse." she said.  She slowly turned her back and showed me a big scar on the other leg.  Even though it was recovered, I could still see a dent on her leg.  Part of her leg’s flesh was missing.  "What happened?" I gasped.  "A wolf bit me." she said, "A giant black wolf."  "That wolf?" I pointed to my wolf, which was lying next to the bonfire with eyes half-c

      Louisa’s POV  When the first ray of morning sun woke me up, I stretched out my arms and murmured, "Uma…"  There was nothing in front of me except the relics of the bonfire.  I couldn’t see Uma anywhere.  I turned back.  The black wolf was still behind me, sleeping soundly.  "Uma…?" I raised my voice a bit and my throat was burning.  I was so thirsty.  Then, I heard some rustling sound coming behind a bush.  I was alerted because I thought it might be a snake or something.  So I pulled up a charred stick and tried to defend myself.  A hUman figure emerged from the bush.  It was a young man in Uma’s clothes.  He had got fair hair and a pair of turquoise-colored eyes.  He was holding a bowl made of bamboo stick, which was filled with water.  He was surprised to see me awake, so the water splashed a bit from the bowl.  "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up." he walked to me and said, "I thought you might need some water when you’re awake."  "Stop! Don’t come closer!"

  • Louisa Unchained   Chapter 28

      Louisa’s POV  When I went back to the clearing, I saw the big black wolf putting a nest of quail eggs and a chunk of bee hive next to the bonfire.  He then tilted his head and looked at me.  Sticky honey was dripping from his mouth.  I smiled and quickly walked up to him.  I tiptoed and wiped the honey on his snout.  The sticky substance got on my hands and I smiled.  "It’s so slimy." I said.  He looked happy and started to lick my hands.  "You like honey, don’t you, Finn?" I giggled while his tongue was tickling my palms.  He suddenly stopped and looked at me with surprise.  His stare was full of passion and sincerity, which made my face burn.  I lowered my head and said, "I’ll go wash my hands and make some eggs and compote for breakfast."  As I was about to walk away, I found that my sleeve was pulled.  I turned back and saw him holding my sleeve in his mouth.  "What?" I smiled, "I have to cook breakfast. You can come with me if you want. Catch some fish, maybe. Th

      Lucas' POV  "Fucking Kings and Queens! A bunch of mother fuckers and losers!" I shouted.  Derek looked intimidated and turned his head towards Lucian.  "Don't you fucking look at him! Nobody can fucking save you today!" I kicked him. "I should have killed you long ago! You're a fucking cancer!"  He rolled on the ground for a couple of laps and coughed out some sticky muddy fluid from his mouth.  "Master... I'm already dead... For a dead man, there's nothing on earth that matters... But my brother... He served you... I forced him to do a lot of bad things, but he was innocent... Please spare his life..." Derek said.  "You have no right to negotiate anything with me! I'm going to let you witness I torture your brother to death!" I said angrily and grabbed his neck. "Now, break this fucking ice shield and give my fucking woman back to me. Give her back!"  Then, I heard a faint voice.  "Leave... my brother... alone..."  It's Darren

      Louisa's POV  "What?!" I couldn't believe what I had heard.  Pregnant? I'm pregnant with Lucas' child?!  But, I have to tell Darren that I...  Then, I heard a wave of hysterical laughter coming from Derek.  "The prophet's true! The advent child! The Dark King rises! He who has Lycan, witch, and vampire's blood will marry his mother and be the tyrannic ruler in the Kingdom!"  Every single word was like a knife, stabbing my heart.  Was it a vicious curse? Or just some disturbing nonsense coming from a madman?  Then, before I realized it, my ankle was grabbed fast by Derek. I tried to move back, but I couldn't.  Frost started to spread all the way up from my feet at a fast rate.  I didn't know what happened before my whole legs were sealed in frigid ice.  "No! Stop it!" I saw Vincent and Will trying to pull Derek away from me. But they ended up pulling the remaining of his legs off his body.  More sparkling ice w

      Louisa's POV  Vincent looked at me and didn't say anything. The look on his face was almost lamenting.  "Vincent, where is Darren?" I frowned and asked.  "He's inside," Vincent said. "But he's in a very bad condition. Miss Louisa, I have to brief you before letting you see him. You have to be prepared. The werewolves at the slave market tortured and humiliated him. His skin was badly burnt. His face was deformed. His head had concussions. He is completely shut down right now. He refuses to communicate with anyone and it seems that he has developed a certain mechanism to protect himself."  Vincent took a pause and said, "It seems that he has lost his memory, Louisa. I doubt he will recognize you."  "No... No!!!" I felt like I was struck by a bat or something. My vision was black and I fell to the ground.  Vincent caught me and held me in his arms.  The world was spinning in front of me. Something bitter was stuck in my throat. I curled up a

      Lucas' POV  "Lucian, I really should have told you about this... I really should have told you about it long ago. But I get this kind of feeling... you know, if I don't talk about it, then it means this whole thing has never happened... And Derek has never betrayed me." I said in a low voice.  Lucian was silent.  "Anyway," I said. "it wasn't very long until the Red Queen found out that Derek was just lying to get back to the Underground City. So the Red Queen was furious and wanted to kill him. You remember the time that I was summoned to King's Land. I was actually forced to go there to cast an imprint on Derek. I did it and I tortured him. But it was just for the Red Queen to know that I was her loyal subject. Then, I faked his death by sending a corpse back to his uncle. I was planning to hide him somewhere, but those fucking traveling druids took him away. I was enraged, so I took his brother Darren away from the brothel to replace him. I thought one da

     Lucas' POV  "How many secrets have you been hiding from me these years?" Lucian stared at me and asked.  "I'm sorry, brother. But my woman is missing. And she might be pregnant with my child. Can we just focus on looking for her?!" I said.  Lucian didn't say anything, he took the tuna head and got on horseback.  Then, he rode off without saying anything.  Oh, fuck. Now Lucian's not talking to me. Like I haven't got enough on my plate.  "I have a good suggestion for you."  I heard Finn's voice in my head.  "What now?! Don't tell me shit like rubbing the back of his neck. It fucking didn't work," I said.  Torrent snorted his nose, urging me to catch up with Lucian.  "Fuck, Torrent. Sometimes I get the feeling that you're fucking riding me! You can get as fast as you can, I don't give a shit as long as my ass is still on the saddle. I'm busy having a conversation with my fucking wolf," I patted Torrent's neck and said.

      Lucas' POV  "What's on her fucking mind?" I said.  I was really fed up with women in my life. They were so fucking unpredictable.  Lucian said, "She's gone this morning after Louisa told her off in front of everyone. And we've lost contact with Kylo. He took away our best people and our soldiers in the camp were either killed or wounded. Louisa tried to treat some of the soldiers this morning, but it will still take a few days before they're fully recovered."  "Kylo's fucking with me! He sent his fucking sister to mess up with my soldiers. His father was with me and he still dares to fuck with me! Why does he do this to me?! Why did he betray me?!" I kicked the grass on the ground and said.  "I don't know. If you left that traveling druid alive, we could have asked him," Lucian said.  "Stop blaming me! That fucking asshole was blabbing about my fucking identity in front of Louisa!" I said.  "Why don't you just tell her who you really are?

      Louisa's POV  Derek put his hand into his pocket.  Colt thought he was about to take out a weapon or something, so he stepped forward, trying to stop him.  "This..." Derek took out an amber-colored stone from his pocket and said. "This is Amber of Star. I want to give this... to your friend. I got it from... Underground City. With this stone, people can communicate with the soul... of their beloved deceased ones... I'm sorry that..."  "I don't want anything from you." Mata cried out. "You took away my brother's life and there's nothing you can do to make up for it! He's dead! You killed him! You took him away from me! I have been staying with my brother ever since I first opened my eyes, and now his eyes will never open again. He can never hold my hands when I'm scared! It's a big scary world out there and I'm always scared!"  "But you can talk to your brother... As if he's still alive..." Derek tried to explain.  "You just don't understand, do

      Louisa's POV  The fire spreading all over my body dimmed.  I stared at Derek and walked closer to him.  He looked panicked and desperate at the same time.  "What's the matter with you?! Where's the fire?! I have just killed your friend! Why don't you kill me with that fire of yours?!" He barked at me like a mad dog.  I didn't say anything but kept stepping closer to him.  "Come on! Hit me with a fireball or something! Hit here!" Derek pointed at the empty void in his left chest and said. "Don't you want revenge on behalf of your friend?"  I stood right in front of him. Still, I didn't say anything.  In despair, he grabbed my arm and said, "Come on! Hit me!"  "Where is Darren," I said. "Take me to see him."  "You'll never see my brother again..." He said with a sadistic grin.  Before he could finish his sentence, I strangled his neck.  He didn't protest or struggle. Instead, he kept smirking at me.  I did

      Louisa's POV  The smirk on Derek's face was gone and replaced by ferocious malice.  "Let me correct you, Miss Louisa Reeds. Nobody is supposed to be dead. We were born into this world to live our lives and hug our beloved ones, not to destroy and manipulate other people's lives."  He looked exasperated for a brief moment, but then he regained his cool.  "I used to serve Lucas when I was young and vulnerable. He's such a hypocrite and he used my innocence and love for him to take control of me. He came into my life without notice. When he was gone, he took everything away from me, including my life... and he told me it was for my own good! He locked me up in a cave and let those monsters torture me to death! And is this for my own good?!" Derek pulled off his shirt and let me see his naked chest. I could see there was a hole in his left chest.  The place where his heart used to be.  I was horrified and stepped backward.  At that time, I rea
