Lucas' POV
Oh, fuck.I curled up while stepping back.I could feel the throbbing pain coming from the innermost part of my chest.It was killing me.Lucian approached me, trying to pull me up from the ground.I grabbed his arm like grabbing the last straw of hope."I'm in pain, brother!“ I barked at him. "It's coming from my chest and it doesn't stop! What happened to me?! Am I dying?!"Lucian held me against his chest and said in a soothing voice, "Easy. Go easy on your breath, Luke. In and out. In and out.""Make it stop! Make it stop right now!" I almost ripped my chest open, but Lucian locked my hands together.He pinned me on the ground and said, "If you want the pain to stop, you have to work with me. Focus on your breath. Don't fight against it. Go with it."I fucking hate being subdued like this.But I couldn't do anything about it.It was so damn painful in my chest and it's fucking distracting."Do not subject yourself to fear, Luke. Live with it." Lucian's soft and tender voice melted in my ears.I closed my eyes and imagined myself floating in the air.And then I saw it.A small ass fucking she-wolf, licking her paws in front of me.As soon as I met her honey colored eyes, I felt struck by lightning.And my chest started to hurt again.She is the source of my pain.That fucking she-wolf."I'm going to kill her!" I struggled and tried to get up, but Lucian pushed me back on the ground.He was literally pressing himself against me.I turned my head and saw that girl lying on the ground right in front of me.Her tiny ass body was shivering like a fucking withering leaf. She was grabbing her chest as well!Fuck! It's the connection between me and that she-wolf!When she's in pain, I'm in pain as well!And she's so fucking tiny and weak. I bet she's always in pain!And that means, from now on, I will be always in pain!"Lucian! Kill her! Kill her right now!" I shouted and pointed at the girl.Lucian stared into my eyes and said, "I will kill her, but only if you calm down right now and stop ripping your chest open."His voice wasn't loud, but it was assertive.I stopped struggling and growled at his face, "Do it now, Lucian! Kill her immediately!"Lucian didn't move.Instead, he looked at me and asked, "Is there a particular reason that you want her dead?""She's..." I bit my lips. I couldn't finish this fucking sentence.I, the most powerful Alpha of the most powerful pack in the north, couldn't admit having a fucking mate as weak as that fucking she-wolf.No way. That's not going to happen.I had to figure out a way to have her killed."She wants to kill me. She's a fucking assassin!" I said. "Kill her right now, Lucian! That's an order!"Lucian narrowed his eyes.He has that fucking look on his face whenever he smells something fishy.Now, I am the motherfucker who's fishy."Are you sure about it?" he asked. "That tiny little thing is some sort of master assassin who tries to attack you? She has done nothing but scream and pass out ever since she got here.""Stop being a fucking pain in the ass and follow my order, Lucian!" I said impatiently.Lucian tilted his head to take a glance at that little she-wolf and then looked at me."Sorry, Luke. I can't do it. If you want to kill her, you have to do it yourself," he said."Fuck it! I'm done with your fucking attitude, brother. You and I will have a sit down for this later. Right now, let go of me and I'll rip her head off!" I shouted.Lucian stood up and let go of me.I charged at that little she-wolf and grabbed her shoulders.Just when I was trying to strangle her to death, she suddenly stretched out her arms and...She hugged me.That motherfucker weak-ass little thing hugged me!How dare she touch me without my permission?!And why the fuck she smells so good?!I tried to push her away, but it was physically impossible.The moment our bodies touched, they clicked and attached to each other like a fucking missing puzzle going back to where it belongs.Is this the fucking bond between mates?!Fuck, it feels so damn good. It feels... right.I was shocked when I realized this because nothing in my fucking life has ever been right.And all of a sudden, everything makes sense.My life. My pack. Werewolves. Moon Goddess. This whole fucking world.Everything stands on its own to bring me to this fucking moment when I met her.I just couldn't do anything but let her hug me, weeping in my chest.She looked up with tears all over her face, looking at me.I knew she was trying to look for a dash of sympathy in my eyes."Are you going to kill me?" She wiped the tears off her face and asked in a low voice.I remained in silence.I couldn't answer that question.I have made up my mind but now I'm thinking of the possibility of fucking her first before seeing where it goes.Damn. It made me hard as fuck when I thought of penetrating her fucking tiny ass pussy.I might as well fuck her until she passed out underneath my body.And then I'll keep fucking her until the last breath of her gets fucked out of her body.That might greatly satisfy me."Are you going to kill me?" she asks again. This time, her voice was louder and her face got darker.I stared at her with curiosity, imagining ripping her into pieces."Are you going to kill me like what you've done to my friends and families in my pack?" she exclaimed.By the time I sensed her anger, a knife had already penetrated into my left chest.Fuck! That motherfucker little she-wolf stabbed me!I was busy fucking her in my mind and she stabbed me in reality!I pulled out the knife from my chest and threw it on the ground.My blood sprouted out, pouring down her head.I saw her blood-soaked, twisted face. Her eyes were like shining volcanoes, filled with flames of hatred.Then, the wound on my chest healed itself.She looked at me in horror.I felt her horror. "Yeah, that was one of my curses," I said in a low, steady voice, grabbing her arms and lifting her in the air. "I don't get hurt. I have no heart. I don't die."Then, I tilted my head toward Lucian and said, "Brother, now you've got enough evidence for her trying to kill me, right?"Lucian sighed and pointed at the girl. I looked down. She had already passed out.Louisa's POV"She looks so tiny. She wouldn't make it." I heard a boy's voice. "You're a doctor or something?" I recognized that was Lucian's voice."It wouldn't need a doctor to see that she wouldn't make it. She's dying," the boy said.I'm not dying. I'm still alive!I opened my mouth, but there was no sound coming out of it except a series of scratchy sounds.I felt my throat burning.I didn't know how long I had slept. "Wa… water…" I gasped.Every time I breathed, I felt my throat was burning on fire. The cloth covering my eyes was lifted. In a blurry vision, I saw a boy's face. He was holding a bowl of water in his hand. I struggled to get up, but my back was hurting so badly that I couldn't move."She can't even sit up straight by herself…" "She'll be fine, Leon," Lucian said.I grabbed the boy's arm and said, "Leon... Water…""Aha, she's calling my name and she's grabbing my arm now," said Leon."I've told you, she's not dying. She just needs some time to recover." Lucian
I closed my eyes. My tears kept falling from the corner of my eyes. I would be Alpha Lucas' breeder and I would be killed. Nobody would know that I had ever existed. But the most agonizing thought was… My child would be born into this world without seeing their mother. They would have nobody. No. I couldn't let this happen to my child. I had to figure out a way to survive. Maybe I should run away. "Is that your answer to every question?" I heard my wolf's voice in my mind, "To run away? Ever since I knew you, you're trying to avoid everything. An evil stepmother. A tyrannical stepbrother. An ignorant father. Look at what that has got you so far." "What could I do? I couldn't fight them. I'm too weak." I replied. "Concentrate, girl. When you're in fear, you're distracted. You have to stay focused and think about it. Alpha Lucas is your mate. He's found out that you're his mate and he wants to know your real name. Why do you think he's doing that?" "He want
I couldn't believe it. Did I gain the ability to heal myself? My broken back was intact again! It was cured by itself! I slowly lifted my waist. It didn't hurt at all. "Can you stand up?" Leon prompted with excitement. I didn't manage to reply before he ran out of the tent. "I'll let Lucian know! Wait for me!" His voice was already so far away. It took me a while before I tried to lift my leg. I thought it would be easy since my back was fully recovered, but somehow I just couldn't lift my legs. I was a bit nervous. I concentrated and tried again. Still, nothing happened. I used my hands to pinch my legs. They both hurt. I wasn't paralyzed. That was a good sign. But why I couldn't lift them? I used my hands to push my upper body up. Eventually, I sat up straight. The blanket that covered my upper body slipped down when Lucian walked into the tent. In a panic, I pulled up the blanket to cover my chest. But when I lowered my head, I froze. T
Lucas' POV Fucking bitch. I thought to myself when I walked into my tent. I threw my sword on the table. It made a loud bang and all the maids in the tent kneeled in front of me, trembling. When I was furious, I would normally whip them to release my anger. But on that day, I wasn't in the mood. "Get the fuck out of my tent! Leave me alone!" I yelled at them. All of them disappeared immediately. I was in distress. I couldn't believe my mate would be a girl who looked so tiny and weak. Just like my mother used to be. The thought of her made me so disturbed. I couldn't think or do anything properly. I guess that was the mate thing they were talking about. It was something dissolved in the fluid inside my mother's womb, permeating through my skin and into my veins and marrow, even before I was born. It was my primal and innate need, the most sacred part of a wolf's life. It was written in my destiny. But, no. I wouldn't give in to my destiny. If
Lucas' POV "She's too weak." I shook my head and said, "She's weaker than my mother used to be. If I accept her, I'll be weak, just like my father. She's a plague, Lucian. She'll ruin the whole pack.” Lucian said, "You have never told me anything about your parents. I only know that they passed away when you were very young.” "I have never mentioned them to anyone for a reason." I said. I had always been known as a fatherless demon. The cursed one. "Was that because of your mother?" Lucian asked. I lay on my back and stared at the ceiling of the tent. Then, I closed my eyes. That fucking she—wolf. I could still see the scars and bruises on her chest. Her thighs twitched and tensed when I touched her. The way she bit her lips and complied. Everything. She reminded me of my mother. I fucking hated my mother. "My mother was weak when she met my father. Her weakness and vulnerability evoked my father's compassion and sympathy. He married her to be his Lun
Lucas' POV "Is that fair for him?" Lucian ignored my warning and continued. Yeah, he did that all the time as well. Ignore my warnings and shit. Fucking douchebag. "You're a very formidable person. That's why a lot of people don't like you. But your wolf is completely another story…" "You liked me when you saw me." I sat up and looked at him. "Yeah, that's because I like everyone." Lucian said in a matter-of-fact way. I lay down on the bed again like an unplugged balloon. I just didn't know what to do with this man. I obviously couldn't kill him because he was a nice guy. He had been around in my life for more than 20 years. He was like an elder brother, or sometimes, a mother, to me. "What do you want me to do?" I rolled my eyes. "Let your wolf meet her and see how it goes." he said, "I can tell that she kind of like big furry animals. Hopefully, he'll be able to talk some sense into that girl. As far as I'm concerned, she's madly in love with you, but she couldn't realiz
Louisa's POV I didn't remember how long I had slept. When I woke up, Leo was gone. I was left alone in the tent. I could hear the music and hubbub in the distance. It seemed people were celebrating. Then, I felt it again. The strong impulse of mating. I couldn't control it. Alpha Lucas' sapphire blue eyes appeared in my mind. His macular arms. His ripped torso. My mate. I was born to be taken by him. Ah. The thought made me moan silently in the darkness. Before I realized it, I was starting to touch myself. Then, a dark shadow appeared at the entrance of the tent. I heard Leo's voice, "Alpha, she's still asleep." "Leave, Leo." "Yes, Alpha." My heart was pounding fast. It's Alpha Lucas' voice! But he didn't sound like he was sober. I quickly sat up and saw him walking towards me. He had already changed into a loose white shirt and a pair of grey pants. As he walked towards me, I noticed a strong smell of alcohol. "Alpha..." I said in a low voice, quickly covering
Louisa's POV I had no other choice but to follow his instruction and put another finger inside. The sudden increase of impact on my small hole made me feel extremely painful again. I looked up hopelessly at Alpha Lucas. "I didn't tell you to stop. So why do you stop?" he asked. "Please," I whispered in tears, "I can't do it anymore." The hem dropped down and covered my legs. "Do you want me to ask Lucian back to give you a hand?" "Please don't do that, Alpha. Please show me some mercy..." I choked on my tears. "So you want me to help you, don't you?" He looked into my eyes. "Yes, please, Alpha..." I whispered. He pulled me up and ripped off my gown. Then, he put my waist on his lap. He was fully clothed, but I was all naked. I didn't dare to look at him when he pushed his fingers into my pussy. "Ah…" I screamed in pain. His fingers were coarse with calluses. They kept throbbing ruthlessly on the tenderest part of my body. "This is what you've got, when you tell me that
