Different faces with malicious intent evident in their faces came towards Lucian and Irene.
One of them smacked his lips together and it was obvious that he was their leader.
Who sent you ? That was the first thing Lucian asked because he felt that this was something his father could do.
Haa ,ha.... The man laughed viciously and clapped his hands together. You shouldn't worry about that... just focus on coming with us.
Coming with you huh?! . What era are we in? . You boldly go around to kidnapp someone of my calibre. Are you not afraid of dying?. He asked calmly with a raised eyebrow clearly his wolf was starting to surface.
Don't you think coming with us is better ?. You don't want to die here . Their leader said and gesturing towards the others to surround them.
oh, so..... it's my father. Hasn't he had enough of it? Do you think he would compensate your family if you are found dead right here and now? . Do you have faith in someone that can put you in danger? . He said trying to reason with the rouges.
Silence was instantly instilled and there leader did as if thinking about what he said bit he huffed at last.
They kept glaring at each other and Lucian was looking with a rather calculative look.
Rouges are known to be blood thristy and most times they wipe off a whole pack. He knew that as a fact and not as a myth.
Lucian looked down and saw a fair and slender hand tugging at his shirt in fear.
Lucian.... she called out weakly.
Sighing... he placed both his palms on her shoulders and bent a little to her level. His face just few centimetres apart.
It's fine, trust me. You just stay by the sides and watch, alright. He comforted her with a look that one can't decipher on his face.
All Lucian wants is to get out of this place alive and bring evil to punishment.
He was well aware that someone leaked his plan to his father.
They had a spy in his mansion.
Earlier when he held her, he felt something rush up to his brain and then and there he wants to protect her with everything he has no matter what!.
I want to help out. How can I just stand as a spectator. She said with a determined look.
You are stubborn.........he looks up to the sky and said; I can't let you die here......so as to not have regrets for the rest of my live...... You should rather die at the hands of honorable rankers. Do you understand? He said with gritted teeth and the colour of his eyes has started to change from it's normal colour to deep green.
This guy.......
Irene slowly raised her hand to graze his cheek. I can't die right now. I still have a favour to repay. She said smiling weakly. Now let's get the bad guys together alright......
Yes......
Lucian saw her like this and felt a jolt in his heart making him smile involuntary without noticing.
Irene didn't miss this rear sight and her heart kept thudding wildly. She knew it wasn't a mistake to have feelings for this bolt headed guy. She wants to atleast touch a flesh of this flawless face in front of her before dying.
This way she won't have any regrets.
Alright..... he trailed.
They both backed each other with a good understanding of the danger in a defensive manner.
Stay alive.. he concluded.
Definitely.... she shouted and they both Charged at the enemy in large speed transforming into their wolf's form.
Lucian is a very big wolf with a grey fur and a deep green eyes while , Irene is a wolf with an eye blinding white fur with red eyes. Her specie were indeed rare leaving only her in existence. She has the graceful aura of a witch around her making Lucian glance at her in-between the spar.
Lucian carried one, twisted his ankle and snapped his neck at the same time kicking the one rushing up in the abdomen.
Irene was going in-between their legs and smiled viciously.
Successfully she has taken down two rouges and she was very happy to be helping.
Until.......
Until the last rouge came charging behind her and knocked her out with his teeth causing a scar on her jaw line.
Everything seems to stop as she fell with a loud thud on the floor .
Did she die? She should be able to stand it. What are those training for ? . Lucian stared in shock and countless thoughts kept running through his mind . He was so confused but, still managed to stay calm.
That's one of the feature of an Alpha!.
Irene........... He called flatly and went towards her kneeling slowly while ,the last rouge used this opportunity to escape. This was a bloody bath and the little witch was about to go along with history.
No way!. He would never allow that. She still has to repay the favour. He thought while tapping her face gently.
Irene,please wake up. He said with blisters of tears in his eyes. He couldn't believe he was about to cry because of her.
He has been cold since childhood and his father made him go through dangerous trainings. He cannot break down for a woman!.
He has lived to only tolerate his childhood sweetheart and his friends.
His thrist for revenge is so strong because of his mother's death. He was meant to be the next ruling Alpha until his father brought in an illegitimate son of the chosen mate. That's the sole reason he wasn't to meet and love only his fated mate.
But, why does he feel something strange for this half baby witch?.......He wants to keep her by his side since the time he saw her In the forbidden forest?
Perhaps, she is his fated mate. The Alpha's real mate!.
