Chapter 6

Lucian’s POV

“Mate?”

We couldn't be mates, she's mated to my brother, are you out of your mind or something?

“I felt it” my wolf snickered within me.

Confusion settled in my mind, as I strolled through the corridors of the park, the unsettling feeling found its way within me,it was very intoxicating, the sight of her left me on the brink of insanity.

I haven't seen her in ages, I had imagined what she would be like after my return, I had hoped for better scenarios than her current state, and I was an eyesore to see her on the floor like a criminal.

She was a woman of high reputations, she wouldn’t be treated like a nobody.

An image of her flickered in my mind again, I could not stop looking at her when I gave her a plate of food, how many days was she made to starve, her skin looked pale, and I could perceive blood and damp sweat all over her, it enraged me so much.

I came back to the park for a particular reason, and it was solely to take what had been stripped away from me by my younger brother. He might be Alpha, but between the both of us, we knew fully well who was supposed to be the Alpha of the park, and he wasn’t the one.

He had lied his way into that position, and I was going to make sure he went on his knees.

But there might be some hindrance.

I was mated to Selene?, it was totally impossible, even the thought of it wasn’t appealing. She couldnt be my mate, she was already mated to my brother.

“What are you saying, you have always liked her, even before she got married to your brother, you loved her, admit it lucian!, you love her!, your anger was only because you saw how she was being treated. ”

“Shut up escanor”

“Make me!” My wolf rumbled within me, his movement made me a little bit fuzzy.

“Stop with your snickering”

“No!”

I sighed, totally disappointed in him and myself. Having a wolf was a good thing but having a judgmental wolf was suicidal.

Eacarnor drove me crazy with thoughts.

“Don't be stupid”

“You are the stupid one here,”

I waved my head as I walked incognito into the little room. The little girl was admitted, I had gotten enough information about her whereabouts even before I went to see Selene, and from the news I had gathered, it turned out Selene had been usurped by her sister, and my brother had taken her in as his Luna.

Her coronation was to happen in a day from today, and while all this was happening, a little girl was left unattended in a dusty room in the basement, the air was just so musty and corrosive that if she wasn’t already with an active oxygen tank, she would have suffocated and died.

I felt my heart clench so hard as I saw her staying in that poor condition. My brother had become so senseless in the space of five years,only a fool could treat his only daughter like this without remorse. On most days like this, I tend to wonder if he was truly my brother, he simply disgusted me .

I walked closer to her, my hands swept across her pale face, she was an epitome of beauty, just like her mother, she had my brother's cleft jaw, and the hair of her mother. I had seen her pictures while I was away, she also had selene's eyes and smile.

Gently tracing my fingers around her puffy cheeks, selene's words came back to me again. This little girl over here was all her mother had, and she had begged me to help her save her daughter.

There was no way I could save this little girl without having to keep my eyes on her, so it was only normal for me to take her out of the park .

I had my troop outside the borders of the park, and also inside, it won’t be easy for me to move her out of the park, but it won’t be impossible either.

"Get a car ready, and a group of maids, we need to carry a child out of the park," I said in a mindlink to a wolf that was just outside the room.

The message was sent across, and I was certain that in minutes there would be a car parked outside the park, for me.

And while I waited for the car to be ready, I prepared the little girl, I wrapped her with the sheets I found in the basement, she was in coma, and I could tell she wasn’t going to wake up any moment from now, yet, any slight wrong move could cause she to lose her life, I won’t be able to help myself if by any chance she lost her life .

The thought of Selene being angry with me made my skin burst out in ripples of sweat.

“Alpha, the car is ready, and so are the maids”

The door opened, and three ladies stepped in, wearing the attire of the maids, with a truck load of food at the top.

“Perfect” I muttered before taking the little girl out of the bed then tucking her inside the truck.

“I would meet you outside” I said, and they began to move.

Anxiety found its way into my heart, she had been taken away from her comfort zone, I couldn’t let her die even though I had other plans for the day, I just had to take her home, to make sure she was fine.

‘Because you are mated to her mother isn’t it’

I followed the food truck back to back till we finally got outside and she was placed in the car, I personally drove her down to the park, then had doctors fix her thankfully. She was diagnosed in an hour, and it turned out she had flesh eating disease eating her from her insides.

It wasn’t unsolvable, but she had taken way too long to get treated.

I needed to tell Selene about it , so I had to go back to the park.
