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
ELENA’S POVI had passed out sometime in the car as we made our way back to the pack. I felt like I could rest easy knowing that I was now back in the arms that I was supposed to be in. I still felt bad for the way things had ended with Lukas but there was nothing that I could do to handle that situation. I still felt that he had changed and that he regretted his actions but it seemed that I was the only one who believed that. I was saddened by the way Damien had turned into a monster just get get revenge on Lukas, but at the same time, I could understand his pain and who was to say that if he hadn't killed Lukas he wouldn’t come after me after I was well. I had to be honest with myself and the truth was that I knew that I would never have felt safe if I knew that Lukas was out there roaming free. I would have lived my life looking over my shoulder and afraid that he would come after me.When I woke up I was in the back clinic and although I was still in pain from the heat, I felt a l
DAMIEN’S POV I was happy to finally be able to take Elena home with me. We had been apart for too long and it was also time for me to help ease her pain. She had already been through a lot and I just wanted her to get a break. I missed sewing her all happy and I missed seeing her smiling. Ever since Lukas had found out what was happening between me and Elena, things hadn't been smooth for us. First he had kicked me out of the pack and soon after that he ran away with Elena. However, that was now all after under the bridge and everything in order now, well everything except Elana’s health.I had chosen to move me and Elena to a different room because I decided she wouldn’t want to stay in the same room that she shared with Lukas. I didn’t even want to imagine the kind of memories she had in there but I didn’t want her to relive anything. I wanted the old bedroom to be turned into my new office and I wanted Elena’s bedroom to be joined with another room so that we could make it into ou
DAMIEN’S POVI really hoped that seeing her little sister would make Elena reconsider her feelings for her parents. She needed to forgive them not only for her sake but also for the pups that we were going to have in the future. It was as if I only existed to make this woman happy because the look on her face when she laid her eyes on her sister was enough to get me smiling all throughout the day. When Tasha and Elena were done with their meeting, I asked Charles to take Tasha back home because I wanted to go and hear from Elena how their meeting had gone. I already knew how the meeting had gone because I could hear them laughing as Elena walked her little sister out of the bedroom. Even without seeing her, I already knew that she was very happy.I was glad that seeing her little sister made Elena realise that she needed her family as much as they needed her. I had no family and I wished I had one. I didn’t want her to wait until it was too late before she made amends. Admittedly, her
