Louisa's POV
After the rain stopped, we quickly got back to the cottage. Darren set up a fire to dry my clothes. Colt just couldn't wait to start working on the shed. Darren stopped him and said, "We just need a simple shed. Four walls. A roof. That's it. No watch tower. No observatory. No fancy underground maze or hanging garden. Are we clear?" Colt rolled his eyes and said, "You're so boring, Darren. You go on working on your ordinary shed, I'll help Lisa to fix the watermill." Then, he spread his tools on the ground and started to wipe them carefully, one after another. "Do you need my help?" I asked Darren. Darren wiped the water from my face and said, "Please go into the room and take a nap, Lisa. I'll brew you some tea, so you don't get cold." I stood in front of him and didn't want to go away. He looked at me and asked, "What's wrong?" "Can you... give me a twirl?" I was a bit embarrassed. DLucas' POV What the fuck?! I felt pierced in my chest as if something was ripping my heart out. The slut underneath my body moaned and screamed because I almost crushed her ribs. I flipped off her body and sat at the edge of my bed. What the fuck is this? Cardiac arrest or something? What the fuck is wrong with me?! "Lucian!" I shouted before falling to the ground. The door was pushed open and Lucian rushed in. Seeing me rolling on the floor, he kneeled beside me and asked, "What happened?" "Beta Lucian, I'm so sorry! I swear I didn't do anything! I was just serving Alpha and..." The prostitute cried out with fear in bed. "Shut up. Don't make another sound." Lucian said in a cold voice and supported my head with his hands. Another wave of shooting pain struck my chest. This time was ten times worse than before. Fuck! My body started to twitch. I had never experienced thi
Louisa's POV When I opened my eyes, I saw Darren's face in my blurry sight. "What happened..." As I spoke, blood started to pop out of my mouth. I choked on my blood and started to cough and I felt the rupture pain coming from my lungs. I lowered my head and saw the remaining of that giant hog's broken tusk lodged in my chest. And there was blood everywhere. I panicked. No... No... Am I going to die?! "Lisa, don't look down. Look at me." I heard Darren's voice. I lifted my head and saw him holding me in his arms. "Lisa, listen to me. You're very strong and brave. You've killed that hog with your dagger. You've stuck it right between its ears and it's dead now," he said. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could feel his tears dropping on my face. He must be terrified now. I tried to calm down, but the pain coming from my chest was very distracting. "Darren... I can't... breathe..."
Lucas' POV "No! Darren! No!" I screamed out. Darren was completely consumed by fire while rolling on the ground. The fire got stronger because it was fueled by the fallen leaves and twigs on the ground. Desperate, I looked around and tried to look for something to put out the fire. I saw a puddle of water on the side, so I ran towards Darren and grabbed his arms. My hand was burnt and charred, but I clenched my teeth and didn't let go. I dragged him into the puddle of water, but to my surprise, the flame was still there. Then I noticed. The color of the flame was blue instead of orange and red. Even though the flame was fierce and he was obviously in tremendous pain, Darren's face, clothes, and hair were still intact. "Darren, what happened to you?!" I shouted. "Go... away..." he whispered. Blood kept coming out of his mouth and eyes. Veins popping on his forehead. It seemed that he was about to explode a
Louisa's POV "Please don't tell me that you're sick," I crouched down on the side of the stream and spoke to the Salamanders. "We don't want to talk to you." Mr. Salamander said in a bubbled voice. He submerged in the water and didn't want to come out. Well, he used "we" to talk on behalf of his sister. That was new. "Guys, my chest has just been stabbed and I really appreciate that you can talk to me," I said. Ms. Salamander's giant head popped up from the water. "Wow! You're drenched in blood!" She gasped. Mr. Salamander's head popped up as well. "So much blood!" he said. "I'm recovered now. Don't worry," I said. "You can regrow your tail as well?" Mr. Salamander asked. "I don't have tails, but yes, I have the ability to heal myself," I answered. "You're so cool!" Mr. Salamander licked me. I patted his head and asked, "What happened? Why don't you want to play with Will?" Mr. Salama
Lucas' POV "What the fuck will she do?! Will she kill me?! Is that what she's going to do?! Fuck!" Fury consumed me and made me a fucking lunatic. I basically crushed everything in the tent and killed everyone in my sight. It was a mess. "Boo-hoo. My first love broke my heart for the first time." My wolf's fucking voice started to echo in my mind. "Don't even fucking start with me now, Finn!" I paced back and forth in the mess, kicking everything that was in my way. Lucian walked into my tent, dodging a flying saucer, which smashed on the floor outside the tent. Lucian stood at the entrance of my tent. He had already changed into his white diplomatic suit and cape because we were about to meet up with the King's envoy in about 15 minutes. And I was wearing nothing except a fucking bloody shirt and layers of rage and fury. Lucian looked at the piles of bodies in my tent and said, "Luke, we're running out o
Louisa's POV When I woke up, I was lying in my bed. Will was dozing off at the edge of my bed. It seemed to be midday outside. The faint daylight was cut into different stripes before hitting the floor. I struggled to sit up when Colt walked into the room. "Zowie guacamole!" He exclaimed quietly, "You're finally awake! You've been unconscious for three days and I almost wanted to call the vet Amir to come and check you out! Vincent stopped me and said you were just trying to recover yourself." He pulled a pillow behind my back to support me. Then, he held Will up and tugged him into the bed next to the furnace. "He refused to sleep and tried to look after you. He's a really lovely boy. Vincent told him to roll you from time to time to avoid Cyan's nose. I don't know what it is but it sounds absurd." "He means cyanosis." I rubbed my eyes and whispered. My throat was burning and my head was about to explode. I cou
Louisa's POV "Where are you going, Lisa?" Colt asked me when he saw me walking out of the yard. "I'm going to forage some berries in the forest," I replied. I didn't look at him because I didn't want him to worry about me. "OK. I'll go with you," Colt said. "No. I'll go there by myself. Don't follow me." I said and continued to walk out. "Lisa..." Colt grabbed me by my arm. "What?!" I got impatient and looked at him. Colt threw his hands up in the air and said, "Wow, you're really in a bad mood. I get it. A lot of things have happened and you need to chill out a bit. But I just want to tell you that you need to take the basket..." He took up the basket from the ground and put it on my back. "Please don't go too far," he said, "And this is for you. I've made it for you in the past few days." He put a small folded comb in my hands. It looked just like an ordinary comb, but when I pressed a button at
Louisa's POV When the soldier jumped at me, I tried to kick him in his loins, but I failed. He grabbed my legs and pulled me violently towards him. "Fucking bitch! Let me teach you how to serve a man!" He said and pressed me against the floor. I was lying on my stomach and waving my hands desperately. I tried to press myself up, but his body weight was all on me. I couldn't even move a bit. Finally, I took out the comb Colt gave me and wanted to press the button, but it was slapped off my hand. "Don't move, whore! If you dare to make a sound, I'll fucking kill you!" The soldier grabbed my head and pulled out a knife behind my neck. The cold and hard blade was pressed against the skin so hard that blood started to get out of the wound. The soldier peeled off my clothes and said, "Do whatever I tell you to do before I cut off your head!" I closed my eyes. Help me! Please! I thought to myself. "No one
