Chapter 12

The Northern Pack, the most powerful Nightshade wolf pack, is ruled with an iron fist by Lucian.

Even the gathering places for prey were constructed under his orders.

I merely complained once about the difficulty of walking on the forest paths during an inspection.

Lucian then had all the roads widened, ensuring easy passage for me and the wolf pups.

I laughed at him then for making a big deal out of nothing, but today, this spacious road actually saved my life.

"Sera, are you alright?" Lucian anxiously shifted back to human form, cradling me in his arms.

His bare upper body was covered in toned muscles, with traces of silver wolf fur still on his arms, looking both commanding and wildly attractive.

Seeing me covered in blood, his pitch-black eyes flashed to wolf-like golden slits for a second in anger.

"Darling, don't worry, I won't let him leave here alive!"

Lucian and I have known each other since childhood.
