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
Louisa's POV When I woke up, my head was still very heavy and I felt that it was about to explode. I was naked and I felt so cold inside the tent. So, I struggled to pull up the blanket and cover myself. The branding marks on my chest were burning, as if someone constantly sprayed salt on my wounds. I could go through Uma's box and look for pain relief, but I felt so drowsy to do so. Anyway, the pain was my least concern at the time. Hunger and thirst were the ones that were killing me. "Someone, Leo, please…" I opened my mouth, but my voice was hoarse. "Please… give me… some water…" Every word was abrasive, scratching my throat. Soldiers were walking past my tent. Nobody seemed to care about my outcry. I struggled to walk towards the entrance of the tent, but I was stopped by a soldier. "Go back, she-wolf. Don't ask for trouble." I wasn't asking for trouble. I was asking for survival. Just when I was about to give up, Lucian walked past the tent. "Water… I need water
Louisa’s POV I was left on the bed, chained and collared. Despised and disfavored. I covered my face and wept silently. How could I be this stupid? Lucian and Leo were the only ones who were trying to help me. But I ruined it just like that. I was in tremendous fear again, having realized that there would be no one in this pack to help me. My stomach started turning and my head was deflated. Maybe a stupid girl like me didn’t deserve to be loved or cherished. Maybe I was just supposed to be chained and locked up, being someone’s subject or a disposable sex toy. Uma told me that I should aim at being a Luna. But if she had spent more time with me, she would have seen how wrong she had been. I was a complete disgrace. A shame. And she died for a foolish girl like me. I just wasn’t wired up for something so sophisticated as vengeance. As I was about to cry myself to sleep, I heard some chaos from outside the tent. "Stay here and wait for your turn." A voice said. I craw
Louisa’s POV Just when I was wondering about how to get out, a young soldier walked into the tent, holding a tray of food. "Beta told me to take this to you. I’ll be back and collect the tray later." He was about to walk away. "Hey," I stopped him, "can you get me out of here? I’ll give you a Shaman’s pearl." The soldier looked at me with sparks in his eyes and asked, "A real pearl?" "Yes," I said, "but you have to get me out of here." The soldier frowned and said, "I don’t know. If Beta found out about this…" "He wouldn’t find out. I just wanted to go out and see the fighting. When the fighting’s over, I’ll be back." "I’ve put a lot of bet on our Gamma. That rogue wouldn’t survive even one round." he said. "So, if you raised the stake up to one pearl, you’ll get a lot more pearls at the end of the fighting. Then, you’ll be rich." He rolled his eyes and thought for a while. "OK," he said, "show me the pearl first and I’ll leave the key accidentally on the floor." I took ou
