 Louisa's POV

  When I walked out of the yard, I saw Darren sitting on the ground next to the fences.

  I approached him and asked, "Darren, may I... have a word with you?"

  "I don't want to talk, Lisa." He said without looking at me.

  His voice was still calm and reserved, but I knew he was mad.

  "Darren, please look at me," I said.

  He covered his head with both of his hands.

  "Go away, Lisa," he said.

  "Darren..."

  "Go away!" He raised his voice.

  I sat on his side and said, "I won't go away, because friends don't walk away from each other."

  "I'm not your friend, Lisa. Why don't you understand? Why don't you just treat me like a slave like everyone else does?" he said.

  "Darren, please look at me," I pleaded.

  Darren shook his head, "No. I don't want to see your eyes. I see nothing but pity. I know my life is miserable. But I don't need anyone's sympathy, especially not from you."

  I held his head

      Louisa's POV  When I woke up the next morning, I felt it was a bit hard to breathe.  Then, I saw it.  A white fur ball on top of my face.  It was Mr. Weasel.  He was sleeping on my face and snorting!  I picked him up and put him softly on my bed.  He grumbled something and smacked his mouth.  I guessed he was having a feast of ducks and chicken in his dream.  I stretched my back and walked toward Will.  He woke up as well, busy putting the sheet over his head.  I stopped him.  "Let me wash it for you," I said, "You can stay in the room for a while."  Vincent walked into the room.  He looked much refreshed after a whole night of hunting.  I frowned when I looked at his dirty cape.  "Please take off your cape, Vincent. I'm going to wash them for you," I said.  Vincent said, "You're very kind, young lady. Thank you for your hospitality. But I have to take Will away when it's still da

      Louisa's POV  "I'm sorry... Where's Jack?"  The young man who stood at the entrance was in his early twenties.  He had a fair complexion, with cropped crew-cut brown hair and a pair of charcoal black eyes.  He was holding a toolbox in his hands and looking around.  When he saw the two giant salamanders, he jumped up while shouting, "Zowie guacamole! What is that?!"  Then, he threw his toolbox and ran out of the yard.  ...  Darren and I looked at each other and felt very confused.  "Who's that guy? Who's Jack?" I asked.  Darren picked up the toolbox, opened and checked.  "I guess we can ask him when he comes back," he said.  "Are you sure he's coming back?" I asked.  Darren nodded and said, "Yes. These tools are very expensive."  Then, we heard a trembling voice from outside -  "Sir, could you please throw the toolbox out for me? I'll be on my way as soon as I get my toolbox."  I walked

      Louisa's POV  The whole yard became very quiet almost instantly.  "Darren, please pull Colt out of the water before he drowns to death. Ms. Salamander, I know it sounds weird but you look pretty inside out. You're welcome to our place but you ought to promise me that there will never be fights again in our yard. And I need you to release your brother because I kind of need him to help me repair the watermill. And you, mister..."  I paused because I shifted my sight to Colt, who had just regained consciousness after being half pulled out of the water by Darren.  He looked very confused and... gratuitously hot.  His shirt was damp and wrapped very tightly over his perfect pectorals.  OK. He looked like a drowned rat. Indeed.  But he looked like a damn good-looking rat in his damn revealing shirt.  I took a deep breath and continued, "Well, you, mister. You need more buttons on your shirt and..."  Darren pulled all of him out of t

      Louisa's POV  "OK, I like boys and there's nothing to be ashamed about," Colt said and flung his arms open.  "Oh, no!!!"  I heard Ms. Salamander wail.  Mr. Salamander said, "Come on, sis. You're a salamander. If he wasn't gay, he would still be way out of your league."  "I will never ever fall in love with anyone again in my life!" Ms. Salamander said.  "What happened? Why are the salamanders hissing like that?" Colt asked.  "Nothing. They're just goofing around." I said and passed him the bowl of porridge and said, "Were you close to Jack?"  He sipped the porridge and nodded.  I saw tears in his eyes.  "He was very kind to me. All the other people in the village hate me, but Jack would stick up for me all the time. He wasn't gay, but he encouraged me to be who I am. We enjoyed each other's company. We practically built this small cottage together. Now that he's dead, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Maybe I should l

      Louisa's POV  "You're a werewolf, aren't you?" I asked Colt as we were walking in the forest.  "Yeah, but I didn't tell anyone in the village about it. Mountainside is a very conservative place. The villagers have already been put through a really hard time to finally accept the fact that a queer is living in their neighborhood. I don't want to push their limit by telling them I'm that type of queer who can shift into a giant beast and growl at night."  "Did you use to live in a tribe?" I asked.  "Yeah. It was a long time ago. I was kicked out of my tribe for obvious reasons." Colt lowered his head and said, "My tribe didn't need me, no matter how skillful I am and how hard I worked. I begged them for me to stay, but they just wouldn't listen. There're other ways for a wolf to make a contribution to the tribe other than reproduction. Human beings understand this, but somehow wolves don't."  "I'm so sorry to hear that," I said.  Darren was walking in front of us, but I knew he

      Louisa's POV  Colt smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Flynn. I guess there are some strings inside the bird that needs to be fine-tuned. I'll take a look at it for you in the future."  Mrs. Flynn gently nodded her head and said, "OK. Do you want to stay here for lunch? I can cook some meat pies for you."  Colt walked the old lady into her yard and said, "You're very kind, Mrs. Flynn. I've just had a big breakfast. I have to go to the village and run some errands."  "OK. But please come back for some meat pies later," Mrs. Flynn insisted.  "I will. I will," Colt waved at her and walked out of the yard.  "What was that? You've made that intimidating iron bird for the old lady?" I asked.  "I sure did," Colt smiled proudly and rubbed his nose.  "But isn't that a bit dangerous...?" I frowned.  Colt curled up his lips and said, "Well, talking about real danger, you should see the way her nephews asked for the lease of her house."  I tightened my lips.  "Do they want this old l

      Louisa's POV  Having spent an hour in Colt's studio, I became overwhelmed by the large volume of his innovative ideas and his great craftsmanship.  Colt's really a man of extraordinary talents. He was able to bring basically everything in his mind to life through the dexterity of his hands.  At the same time, I had to admit that I didn't see any of them could be put to use in real life, though.  I wasn't sure if people would buy a pair of scissors that couldn't cut anything or a pair of roller skates that couldn't roll. I knew they could sing beautifully to you when you're alone and help you clean the floor faster than ever, but still...  The only thing I was sure of was Darren looked much more comfortable when he was around Colt. I could even see sparks of amusement in his eyes when Colt was showing off his designs in front of him.  That was definitely a good sign.  Anyway, the enthusiasm in Colt's eyes made me wonder if I was being too s

      Louisa's POV  As we were walking out of the village, a giant girl walked towards us and blocked our way.  "Colt, where are you going? You've promised to help me fix the chimney in our house today," she said.  "Sorry, Ms. Dumbarton. My friend's sick and I'll have to take her to the doctor." Colt pointed to me and said.  I hid my face behind Darren's neck. I had to pretend to be sick.  The giant girl folded her arms and said, "The doctor? We've got a doctor here in our village."  Colt explained patiently, "Ms. Dumbarton, we don't have a doctor in our village. All we've got is a vet. Vets aren't supposed to treat people."  The giant girl thought for a while. I could literally see her brain running at full speed for a while before it jammed.  "OK... So, when are you coming back? We can't cook with a blocked chimney," she said.  Colt said with a sparkling smile, "Why don't you move the stove in the yard and cook in the open air?"

      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
