Chapter Six

Brielle’s POV

The kiss seemed to ignite a special kind of fire in my body. I closed my eyes fearing it was one of those really realistic dreams people had and that I would soon wake up from it. But I was soon snapped back to reality when I felt myself being lowered down.

It’s real! It’s fucking real!

I felt his hands tug at my panties from under my dress but my thoughts were too fuzzy to think about caring. My eyes tore open in shock when I noticed his large hand wrap around my neck;

“Where are you guys?” Zane called out. Snapping both of us out of the moment.

“How… what… how?” Lucien stuttered. He seemed confused by what had just happened. I was lost too because I didn't understand anything that was going on.

“Zane, one moment!” Lucien ran towards his brother's voice while he dressed.

I sat on the floor half-naked, lost in thought about what just went down.

“I'm I this damaged?” I asked myself. At that moment, I had no control over my impulses or my emotions. I just fell into his lap like a sex freak.

“Brielle! Are you coming or what?” Zane shouted out to me. I snapped out of my thought cycle and got dressed.

“Where are we going?” I asked when I caught up with the brothers.

“Our final destination, we are not that far from our home,” Zane responded. I turned to Lucien, to get some clearance from his expression. But, he turned away.

“Let's go,” He muttered without even lifting his head.

We walked in silence towards the Great Wall, as they called it. I knew of how safeguarded packs were but I had never seen a security force as tough as that.

“Alpha Lucien,” A guard who seemed to be stationed at the top of a tall tree voiced.

“Can you come down here?”Zane responded. And in an instant, a tall man stood in front of us.

“Sirs!”He saluted. Zane responded with a nod but Lucien appeared to still be uncomfortable by what had happened earlier.

“What happened here and where is the rest of the force?”Zane asked. I detected a strong stench of blood coming from all over the forest and it sent out a scary aura that immediately enveloped the entire region.

“Savages from the North stormed our defenses. We were able to send them back but we took a heavy blow,” The soldier announced with his head bowed.

“I'm sorry Alpha Lucien,”

“Don't be sorry. You came out of it with your life and body parts intact. I'm proud,” Lucien commended the soldier whose face beamed up.

“We can't allow these savages to raid us anytime they want, brother. They must be stopped!”Zane voiced angrily.

“Agreed,” Lucien muttered with a thinking pose. He looked like he was lost in his thoughts.

“No worries Sir, we have this area secured. You can go in with your guest,” The Soldier said.

The brothers smiled at him as we walked away from the spot.

“What's with that smell?” I scoffed as the horrifying stench became too much to handle.

“Savages’ blood. Their cursed blood infects wherever they drop,” Zane responded. Prince Zane's kindness melted my heart. I hoped his brother was more like him but we can't get everything we wish for.

“Open the gates!” Lucien commanded as we got to the gate with an eclipse symbol on it.

The huge gates sprung open and the scenery I was met with amazed me. I felt different like I was in a whole new universe packed with beautiful buildings and neatly tiled roads.

“It's beautiful,” I muttered without thinking.

“If you think this is nice, wait till you see the estate,” Zane said to me with a smile.

The inhabitants bowed as we walked past them. I had the respect of royalty back with Chase but I lived like a cage animal. Never allowed to go more than his reach.

“Go in,” Lucien commanded. His thick masculine voice snapped me out of the fantasy I had created in my mind.

“Where are we going?” I asked, looking around like a lost puppy.

“Home,”

I got in and within a minute we arrived at the biggest estate I have ever seen. The gates were made of gold and the walls were as high as the city's.

“Is this the Alpha’s estate?” I asked Zane with my head stretched out the window to soak in the beauty of the mansion.

We arrived and the mansion and there were already maids waiting for them outside.

“All hail the Supreme Alpha!” They all chorused with head bowed.

I stood lifeless admiring how organized and respectful they were.

“Don't be so wowed, act natural,” Zane whispered in my ears. His voice was smooth and calming. I smiled at his remark and turned to Lucien who walked to the center of his workers.

He cleared his throat before starting “Thank you all for holding on to the mansion till we arrived. I appreciate you all and I hope I live up to your expectations,”

And at the end, they all clapped joyfully. I didn't need to be told how awesome an alpha he is to his people and his workers.

“They love you,” Zane said to Lucien who walked towards us with a wide smile on his face. A smile that faded away as soon as he turned to me.

“Well, I'm not the only one they love,” Lucien pointed at some ladies who were admiring Zane from behind a car.

“Come on Lucien, you know I can't hide my glow. I am who I am,” Zane responded.

“Are you okay?” He asked with hands holding onto mine.

I couldn't help but develop a liking for him. He was caring, sweet, patient, and thoughtful.

I smiled in response, I felt really safe with him but for some unexplainable reason, my mind wouldn't let go of Lucien. I felt obsessed with him and with what had just happened in the woods.

“You are back,” A lady said. She looked beautiful with a nice shape. She walked like a queen towards us, taking one step carefully before taking the next.

“Yeah, we are back,” Lucien responded. And weirdly, with a smile. My body tinged as jealousy began setting in.

“I missed you,” She said and hugged him. The hug might have been short but to me, it felt like years.

I looked at them as rage boiled within. I know I shouldn't have been feeling that for someone I had just met and knew close to nothing about but I couldn't bear it.

To worsen my situation, the lady turned to me and asked, “Where did you pick up this stray?”

I growled in anger as I stared viciously at her.
