Volume One: The Blood Pact
Chapter 5 :Basement
After finishing his business, Degurian went down to the basement, thinking of checking if there was anything confirmed with the Lycan.
He saw this scene just as he reached Ella's door.
He was a bit shocked and full of confusion.
This woman was already puzzling enough; she was acting intimately with Lycan, clearly in a kissing gesture. Did they know each other or not? Could this woman be an undercover sent by Lycan into their vampire clan? What exactly were Lycan's intentions? Could Lycan have already discovered his secret?
Degurian couldn't figure it out.
--------------
At this moment, Lycan was even more shocked. This woman had kissed his lips? How bold!
He was the proud leader of the wolf clan; how could he be easily manipulated by this woman? But since he hadn’t carefully examined the marks on her back yet, he didn’t know if she could be of use to him. Degurian had also arrived, and he couldn’t reveal the secret of saving the wolf clan to Degurian. It was better to play along with the plan.
“Help me! I beg you, I’ll agree to anything! Save me and my brother!” Ella’s lips moved away from Lycan’s, and she whispered softly into his ear.
After hearing Ella's words, Lycan also spoke in a similarly low voice, "Cooperate with me!"
The next second, Lycan's hand moved to Ella's head, briefly tidying her hair, then suddenly Ella felt a tight grip on her back. Lycan's hand restrained her back, pressing her close to himself. Just as Ella instinctively wanted to struggle against this move, Lycan gave her no chance; his other hand was already behind her head, pulling her toward him. A deep kiss landed firmly, with a hint of dominance.
Lycan gave Ella no chance to catch her breath, only intensifying the kiss, becoming more and more engrossed, the kiss growing deeper. Ella was already dizzy from the kiss.
Suddenly, Degurian cleared his throat.
Lycan finally let her go.
"I had no idea my brother actually knows this lady! You should have told me yesterday. Given your relationship, I even used weapons against her—truly, my apologies!" Degurian said.
" Haha, no, no. My good brother, I only just recognized this lady as my marriage contract partner. My grandmother arranged this marriage for me—it’s her,"
Lycan said as he stood up. "Now that I’ve identified my contract wife, why don’t you do me a favor and let her go? I’m willing to host a banquet in the Wolf Clan to thank you.
But her brother is my sacrifice. If I let her go, how will our ritual proceed? I’m afraid this lady won’t let us off either. Brother, I’m really sorry! I’m willing to find you a beautiful woman for your enjoyment instead, how about that?
"Her brother is not your sacrifice. She did not see her brother yesterday, nor did she confirm it. Just now, my men have already found her brother. He is playful and went to the riverside with another elder of the human tribe. It happened to rain, so he didn’t come back. I have just confirmed with Ella that the other person in the basement is not her brother. Ella was quite rude yesterday and impolite to you as well. Please don’t take it to heart. I am truly sorry!" Lycan said.
Really? That’s great. You can take her away now." Degurian immediately walked up to Ella and unlocked her bracelet. Lycan pulled Ella toward himself and said, "Then we’ll head back first. Sorry to bother you today. It’s your sacrificial day; I will bring a great gift to thank you! Thanks again!
Lycan pulled Ella out of Degurian’s tribe. As soon as they stepped outside, Ella broke free from Lycan’s hand and said, "I was just cooperating with the act. Thank you today, I’m going back!"
Alright, you can leave now. Degurian’s personal guards are watching over there. I bet your brother will definitely die on Friday." Lycan looked at her with a smile and said, "Right now, only I can help you. If you don’t come back with me, you will all die! I’m not a kind person. If you offend me, I will still want you dead! Behave yourself.
Thus, Ella reluctantly followed Lycan and the others back to the wolf tribe.
