Chapter ten

"The thing about a Lycan's claw, or their teeth, is that the damage they leave slows down the supernatural healing process of any wolf, and hieghtens the pain.'' Doctor Aisha explained, as she applied some ointment on neck before putting the bandages back on.

"Does it ever kill?'' I asked, meeting her eyes for only a split second. She picked up her kit, looking through it before she picked up a scissors.

"Yes it does, but not a mate.''

"What?'' I asked, tilting my head as she trimmed the bandage. She hesitated for a moment, her senses became alert, before she hurriedly got down from the bed. Suddenly i caught scent of Lucas, and the wolf inside me was excited.

The large doors to our bedroom were opened from the outside, and Lucas walked in, looking as hot and glorious as ever. I swallowed loudly, trying to tear my eyes from that tonned body. Lucas made me think sinfully. Any normal thing he did would often be turned to something sexual in my mind.

What the hell was wrong with me?

"Elara.'' He calls out, as he walks slowly towards me. Doctor Aisha had been bowing on the floor infront of Lucas, and the minute he passed her, completely disregarding her presence, she got up and quickly dissapeared from the room.

For the short time i was here, there was one thing the people of this pack share more than anything, and that was the fear they had for my mate. Everytime he walked among them, everyone would stop what they were doing and bow their heads, only when he's passed them would they get up. While it was a traditional way to show Lycan King's respect, these people did not do it with respect. It was out of horror for loosing their heads.

"I'll be heading out.'' He says as he climbs on top of the head. My eyes shift to him, and to the slightly moving buldge evident on his jeans.

He came close to me, he wrapped his fingers around my throat before he gave me a gentle kiss on my shoulder. Even with the injury on my neck, he still squeezed, and there was no pain, which made me wnder what kind of soccery this was, He forced me to look up at him, causing me to whimper at how amazing he smelled and how much him being close to me affected me.

"Be a good girl while im out.'' He lets out before he places a kiss on my forehead. I shudder, biting my bottom lip.

"Where are you going?'' I ask curiously. He eyes meet mine as he steps down from the bed. I fight the urge to look down at his pants, knowing that i'll just embarrass myself with my sinful staring.

"Im going to hunt down and kill the alpha who rejected you.'' He answered casually as he walked away.

"You're joking,'' I let out. "Right?''

"You know I don't joke, that's foolish human behaviour.'' He answers as he walked to the door.

"Lucas wait,'' I call out as i pull the covers away from my body.

"You don't even know the alpha who...''

"Alpha Matthew Gale!'' He answers in a heartbeat.

I get down from the bed, walking slowly towards him, touching my neck, hating the pain that he himself inflicted.

"Please don't kill him. I'm fine now. I'm all better and he can never hurt me.''

"Ofcourse he can't.'' He answered, shaking his head. "Because he'll be dead.''

Suddenly he picked me up bridal style, not even struggling. Sometimes i wasn't sure i weighed anything when it came to him.

"What are you doing?'' I asked as he walked with me towards the bed.

"You're suppost to be resting, princess.''

He gets on the bed with me, placing me right in the middle of it before putting the blankets over me.

"I don't want to sleep right now. Lucas, please dont go hunting down someone because of me.'' I whispered, trying to armor my broken voice.

"For you, i can hunt down the moon goddess herself.''

...

I should have known.

The man i was mated to was stubborn as hell. After trying to convince him not to go, he still went. Ofcourse not after giving me such a demanding miss that left me all needy and horny.

Sometimes i was convinced he only kissed me just to get me horny. I couldn't quite know. Strange things made him amused and horrible things seemed like fun to him.

Like hunting down an Alpha, he'd talked about it like it wasn't that big a deal, and neither was it a chore. Alpha Gale was a man of his own mysteries. But i feared for him. After seeing what Lucas was capable of, i feared for the rest of the world.

"Penny for your thoughts.'' Someone spoke, causing me to snap out of my thoughts before looking up. A blonde woman, probably in her mid to late 30's, walked in holding a tray of snacks.

"What happened to Penny?'' I asked, refering to the previous maid i was used to.

" I let her take the night off. You'd be suprised how happy that makes them.'' She said, as she set the tray on my bedside table and took a bite out of one of the apples.

"Hope you don't mind. Im kinda hungry.''

"No. Help yourself.'' I said with a smile as i watched her.

"You're not like other maids,'' I let out with a chuckle.

"I'm not a maid, honey.''

I stared up at her, studying her, trying to figure out who she was.

She got up on the bed, right before sitting next to me, not in the slightest scared of what would happen to her. Everyone in the pack was afraid of Lucas, and even the maids hardly interracted with me. They treated me like a time bomb, something that could explod any moment.

Back in our pack, everyone disregarded my presence. Whenever they paid attention to me, it would only be to ridicle, criticize or bully me.

"Then who are you?'' I asked with confusion. I figured, since she was let into the bedroom, she must be trusted. There's no way a guard would risk letting someone in who would harm me. They'd loose their heads for it.

Yet, i couldn't understad why i was so scared. there was something about the girl that was naturally unsettling.

"Sabrina.'' She said with a smile and a full bite of her apple, before stretching foward her hand. I took it in mine, burrying my hesitation and the quick beating of my heart.

"It's okay to be afraid of me. Everyone is.''

"What?'' I asked, faking a smile. She reached towards the tray and pulled it on top of her lap.

"We're gonna have sleep overs, and slumber parties and do our make up and go shopping all day.'' She screamed with excitment. I looked up at her, her eyes, seeming bright and yellow, resembled the farmiliarity of someone i knew.

It couldn't be.

She picked up an apple from tray and handed it to me. Then she took a bite out of it before placing it in my hands.

"Eat.'' She let out casually. I looked down at the fruit and backk at her, feeling completely confused.

"Excuse me?''

"It's okay. I had to check that it wasn't poisoned.'' She said, rolling her eyes into oblivion.

"Check?'' I asked, my lip slightly twitching as i looked at her.

"Yeah, you know, we lycan's can know when something natural has been tampered with. And when something cooked gives of the wrong sent.'' She explained, and that's when it clicked.

"You're a lycan too? I though Lycan King Lucas was the last one.''

She stares up at me for a second, then she gets down on the bed before turning around.

"That bastard.'' She started, hitting her forehead. "My brother didn't tell you i was coming, did he?''

"Your brother?'' I spoke, mouth wide agape. She smiled, she came closer, and she stretch out her hand.

"Hi, I'm Sabrina Morretti, younger sister to Lycan King Lucas Morretti. It's nice to meet you, sister in law.''
