Louisa's POV
"Stand up, she-wolf," Alpha Lucas commanded. His marvelous dark blue eyes changed into navy blue under the dim light in the tent. He was wearing a crease-free ceremonial suit. He lowered his head to unbutton his collar. His chiseled side silhouette made me want to scream. I had to hold the edge of the bathtub so firmly to suppress my impulse to jump at him and rip off the clothes from his muscular body. I couldn't get it out of my system. It was the mating call, the primal instinct of reproduction that all the wolves followed in their life cycles. "You just don't learn, do you?" He walked towards me and removed his belt. I knew what he was about to do, so I covered my head with my arms. But he didn't beat me. Instead, he pulled me out of the bath and made me stand up in the bath. His gloved hand grabbed my neck and pulled me towards him. "Whenever I ask you to do something, do it right away.Louisa's POV Alpha Lucas continued, "You, on the other hand, have to be my new submissive fucktoy. You have to earn this honor because the warlock has done a pretty decent job in serving his Master. And for my justification, I didn't make up that fucking lunatic story about me being Uma's wife. That fucking warlock came up with it just in a blink of an eye. There's no surprise in this because they can be very convincing when they try to trick you. He cheated you, she-wolf. He was the one who was lying to you all the time. Do you know, by the way, why he begged you so desperately the other day? To let me transfer his imprint to you?" I shook my head and said, "I don't want to know! Don't tell me! Darren's like a brother to me! He won't do anything to hurt..." Alpha Lucas' eyes were narrowed, "Oh, fuck. I know that you're backward, but I don't know you can be this retarded to buy his bullshit about being your brother. His dead brother's spirit was locked in the fire t
Lucas' POV "Oh fuck, I need a drink," I said, rubbing my forehead and walking out of the tent. The sudden shift between human and wolf forms made me nauseous. I pressed a tree and started to retch. "Don't fucking stand there like poles, soldiers! Get some water and a towel for Alpha!" I heard my Gamma's hoarse voice. Lucian patted my back gently. I looked up at him and saw the worrying look on his fucking handsome face. "What? I'm not pregnant if that's on your mind." I took a towel from a soldier and wiped my mouth. Lucian rolled his eyes and said, "Very funny." I looked at Kylo and said, "Now it's the time for you to explain why a fucking assassin was able to get into my tent without being noticed." Kylo said with embarrassment, "I'm so sorry, Alpha. That guy killed one of our soldiers and took his clothes. That's why he was able to sneak into our camp. I ought to change patrol and..." I shouted, "He was in my fuckin
Louisa's POV After the soldiers cleaned the tent, Alpha Lucas walked into the tent. I looked at his bleeding forearm and frowned. It looked pretty nasty. Feeling intimidated, I asked in a low voice, "Do you need any treatment for that?" He might be an asshole, but I couldn't see him bleeding to death. Another thing was, I could feel the pain in my arm and it was extremely torturing. I had to put it to a stop. Alpha Lucas didn't say anything. He walked past me and lay on the bed. I took out my baggage only to find out that I had run out of yarrow powder. So, I took out the cayenne pepper potion and bit my lips. "Are you going to stand there for the rest of the night?" he asked. I turned back and saw him looking at me. "Come here, she-wolf," He tapped on the empty space on the bed next to him and said. "It's getting cold and you're on your bare feet." I didn't want to get closer to him,
Louisa's POV When I woke up in the morning, Lucas had already gone. I was about to get up, but I couldn't find any clothes around me. Then, Lucian walked into the tent with several soldiers. He was wearing a black velvet suit and a white cape. As always, he looked radiating in a suit. Those soldiers put clothes and shoes in front of my bed and walked out of the tent. Lucian walked towards me and said, "Good morning, she-wolf. I need you to get dressed. Alpha's waiting for you at the dining hall." "Waiting for me?" I was confused, covering my naked body with a blanket. "He wants to have breakfast with you. But before that..." He approached me and grabbed the collar on my neck. I gasped in fear and said, "What are you doing?!" Lucian unlocked the collar and put it on the nightstand. "The ambassadors will be there. You can't show up with a collar. It doesn't look good," he said. "You don't want
Louisa's POV As I walked into the tent all by myself in that pair of very uncomfortable heels, people who were sitting in the tent stopped talking and turned their heads towards me. I was petrified at the entrance of the tent because I had never been put under the spotlight before. Alpha Lucas was sitting at the end of the long dining table. He was surrounded by women. It seemed that he didn't even notice me. I didn't know where to go, so I remained standing at the entrance, feeling completely hopeless. At that time, a graceful man approached me and said, "Young Lady, are you looking for anyone?" I looked up at him. He was in a grey silk suit and a gold cape. I recognized the rockrose emblem on his cape, which was the symbol of royalty. Like all the royalties from the South, he had fair skin and gold hair. His witty sapphire-colored eyes gleamed when he looked at me in a friendly way. I didn't know how to answer him. I
Louisa's POV "Listen to your absurdity, she-wolf! How dare you urge me to apologize to you? Maids! Come forward and peel off her dress! If the slut doesn't want to wear shoes, she won't need her clothes, either." Josephine commanded. Several maids went forward and tried to pull my clothes off. I pushed them away. One of them bumped into the table. The drink spilled a bit out of the glasses. Josephine raised her hands and was about to hit me again. "Who do you think you're?! You little dirty slu..." She didn't finish her sentences, because her hand was grabbed by someone. I looked up and saw Alpha Lucas holding her wrist. Josephine twisted her waist again, "Ah, Lucas, you're hurting me. Let go of me! I just need to teach this little maid some basic rules, so she doesn't dare to talk back at me next time!" Alpha Lucas pushed her off his lap and said to Josephine, "This isn't the place for you to make a scene
Lucas' POV "Fuck, Finn. What happened to me? Why this fucking she-wolf is sitting on my lap? Where's Josephine?" I rubbed my forehead and asked in my mind. The she-wolf was sitting on my lap like a little girl, feeding me grapes. "Isn't she lovely?" Finn asked. "Fuck off, Finn. What the fuck have you done?" I turned my head away in disgust. Fucking grapes. Who the fuck wants to eat that? "You should try some. They're succulent and sweet, just like that little she-wolf." Finn sounded mischievous. "Grapes are supposed to be crushed, fermented, and bottled. I don't mind doing the same to the girl," I said. The little she-wolf seemed to notice the change in my attitude. As soon as her eyes met mine, the light in her eyes was gone. She jumped off my lap swiftly and took her seat next to me. She looked like a fucking little ant. I just wanted to crush her for no reason. "What did you do to me, Finn? Did y
Louisa's POV I stood outside Lucas' tent and I was petrified. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. My father was still alive! Lucas and Lucian wanted to bring him back and killed him! Then, they would kill me! I covered my mouth so I wouldn't scream out. I didn't dare to make any sound. Just when I was about to turn back and run away, I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw it was Alpha Zackery and his attaché. He was holding a pair of high heels in his hands. That looked quite usual for a Lycan. He smiled at me and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, young lady. I saw you left them in the dining hall, so I wanted to give them back to you." "Thank you..." I whispered and took those shoes in a panic. Lucian walked out of the tent and saw me with Alpha Zackery. "Lucian, it's been a long time since we met in person," Alpha Zackery smiled. Lucian looked at him and repli
