DAMIEN’S POVI could feel that something was wrong, Elena might have been far away from me but I just knew that something wasn’t right. I wasn’t particularly feeling sick but my heart wasn’t settled, I was scared out of my mind just thinking of what Lukas could have been doing to her. I still didn’t know how deep his obsession with my mate and I didn’t know how far he planned to take it, all I knew was that Elena was in danger and I had to find a way to help her. We had managed to call the pack meeting and all that was left for us to do was to address them and let them know what was going on. Charles was certain that by now they had all heard of what was happening and they were probably expecting me to call a meeting and explain why I was suddenly their alpha. I hoped that they would receive me better than Mike had, I admired the loyalty Mike was showing Lukas. I felt like deep in his heart he knew that everything that we were saying about Lukas was true and yet he was just strugglin
LUKAS’ POV2I could see that I was losing Elena and there was nothing I could do to help her, the only thing that I could think of at this point that would help Elena was to go back to the oracle to try and ask her to help her. The last time I had seen her she told me that I had to make a decision and until now I didn’t know what decision that was going to be. I didn't even have time to try and figure out what she meant by that because the most pressing matter right now was getting Elena feeling better. The oracle was the only one that could heal her and the other person that could help her was Damien and I was obviously not going to go for that option. The man had already taken my place in the pack and I would be damned if he did the same in Elena’s life. Elena was my mate and there was nothing that anyone could do to separate me from her. I wasn't even going to allow death to separate us.I woke up in the morning and headed to the oracle’s shrine leaving Elena, sleeping. I hoped tha
DAMIEN’S POVThe trackers had been searching for Lukas’s trail for days now, but they still hadn’t found anything. They couldn’t pick Elena’s or Lukas’s scent and it was as if they had both just disappeared from the face of the earth. A part of me felt like they were not doing enough, but I tried to remain calm. I wasn’t going on the search with them because I didn’t think that there was much help that I could offer them. I wasn’t a tracker and if I did go out I would have most likely gotten in the way of what they were doing. However, I had reached the point of feeling utterly useless. What good was I to Elena if I couldn’t even get off my butt to search for her? The angry mob that had gone in search for Mike also hadn't found him and I felt like all hope was lost. If the trackers that Charles had been so confident in couldn’t find the trail and if the angry mob couldn’t find Mike, then we were all out of options. Elena was going to die and I was starting to feel like a failure. Mike
LUKAS’ POVGoing to the oracle proved to be another useless and fruitless attempt for me, even though she had given me the little bottle that had medicine in it. At this point, I was really doubting her and everything that she was giving me. She didn’t seem like she even wanted to help me and she was behaving like she was being forced to do all the things that she was doing. I wasn’t forcing her to do anything, I was simply expecting her to do what she had said was her job. I regretted not killing her, but I didn't want to regret killing her one day, I didn't want to need her one day after I had killed her. The fact that she hadn't helped me today didn't mean that she would never be able to help me. Aside from the little bottle that had what she called a pain killer, she hadn't really been of much use to me lately. She had been giving me a lot of advice lately and it was advice that I hadn't asked for or even wanted in the first place. Why would a witch think that I would go to her f
ELENA’S POVI was slowly fading and when I opened my eyes I met Lukas' own eyes filled with sorrow. He seemed to have been crying and even though I was the one knocking very loudly on death's door, I couldn’t help feeling sorry for him. I wanted to tell him that he didn’t have to do this, but I was too weak to even open my mouth. For a minute I couldn’t remember what was happening and I couldn’t even recognise where I was. It was upon seeing Lukas's face that I remembered that he had kidnapped me yet again after finding out that Damien was my mate. When was this ever going to end?“Water...” I whispered and he gently touched my lips and then got up and got a glass of water with a straw. I didn’t realise how weak I was until I tried getting up to take the glass of water.“You are weak” he said as he got closer to my lips with the glass of water. I took a sip and then rested on the pillow. Lukas stared at me before he finally started speaking.“I am so sorry for putting you through this
DAMIEN’S POVAlthough I was very happy that we had finally arrived where Lukas was keeping Elena, I was very disturbed when I saw him walking out with her in his arms. My wolf immediately went crazy and I clenched the gun that I was holding. Why the hell was he carrying her and what had he done to her? The fact that he was carrying her drove me crazy, but when my eyes met with hers I realised that something was seriously wrong with her. I couldn’t help feeling like she was trying to communicate something with me but just couldn’t figure out what it was. She kept looking at me and then at Lukas. At some point, whenever looked at Lukas it seemed that he said something to her and I wished I was a fly so that I could hear what, he was telling her. He had better not have been threatening her because there was no way that he was going to escape this today. This had been something that was long time coming0 and he now had to face the consequences of the decisions that he had made. I hoped t
LUKAS’S POVI was struggling to understand why Mike had done this and why he had betrayed me in the way that he had. Had I ever done anything to him that made him think angry? Had I ever treated him unfairly? I couldn’t think of anything that I had ever done to him that could ever justify all that he had done to me. I had treated him like a brother that I had never had, but I guess he never appreciated that. Here was Mike, a guy that I had treated like my second in command standing over me with Damiena and Charles, the men that wanted me dead. I could understand why Charles hated me, especially after what happened to his father, but how could Mike do that?Charles and Damien kept interrupting my conversation with someone I had considered a brother for such a long time I chose to ignore them. I wanted Mike to answer me before I died so that I would die knowing exactly why he had chosen to betray me like this.“why Mike?” I asked him again.“I didn’t have a choice, Lukas” he finally sai
DAMIEN’S POVNow that Lukas was dead, Elena and I could finally move on with our lives in peace. We left his body lying there in his yard and figured that some stray animal would get rid of it for us. I decided to believe Mike when he said that he hadn't told Lukas that we were coming but at the same time I made a mental note to keep a very close eye on him. Mike was not to be trusted and there was no way that I was going to give him a position that was going to make him close to me. I wanted to keep him as far away from me as possible for the sake of my peace of mind.As we made our way back to the mansion, Charles was the one that took over the well because I wanted to sit at the back with Elena. She looked horrible and instead of the sweet scent that I could recognise her by, she smelled like death was hovering above her. Even if she was in heat, how the hell was I going to help her and where the fuck was I even going to start? Lukas had really fucked things up for us and I wished
