Lucas’ POV Fuck. Here it comes again. My wolf fucked up, I showed up and cleaned up the shit. I shifted into myself. "What the fuck have you done?" I asked my wolf. There was no response. Typical. If passive-aggressive behavior was a fucking competition, my wolf would be the champion of every single match. Just as he had won every single fight in his life. I got impatient. I ripped off the red cobra’s head and threw it on the floor, letting his eyes stare at its own fucking broken neck. Fucking dog. Good for nothing. Can’t even kill a snake properly. I lowered my head and looked down at the girl. There was white foam coming out of her mouth. Her eyes were bleeding. Her arms and legs were twitching. "Are you fucking kidding me?" I asked my wolf, "I let you out for less than a day, and this is what you’ve done?" There was still no response. "I’m talking to you. You fucking idiot." This filthy piece of furry junk has already got on my nerves. "I’ve heard you for the fi
Louisa’s POV When I woke up, I couldn’t open my eyes. It seemed that they were covered by something moist. I tried to lift my arms or move my legs, but I couldn’t. Then, I felt that someone was on me. My chest was being pressed, so it was difficult for me to breathe. "I can’t… breathe…" I opened my mouth and gasped with air. My chest was still being pressed. Then, I started to feel the warmth between my legs. Waves of shooting pain started to be sent through my spine and spread all over my brain. I felt that I was ruptured. "Ah…" I moaned. I couldn’t move my body at all. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get away. Deprived of motion and visual abilities, the only thing I could do was endure the throbbing pain. "Please… Stop…" I whispered. But that made the pain more unbearable. It overrode all my other senses and made me deliberate. "Big paw… help me… please…" I cried out in despair. The pain suddenly stopped. The heavy thing on my chest was lifted. I could
Louisa’s POV "You have to remain still. Don’t move." my wolf said. She seldom talks to me like this in my mind. "Could you come out and help me, please?" I asked. "No. The collar on your neck was dipped in wolfsbane. You can’t shift." she said. I felt sweat dripping from my forehead. Another spider arrived at my face. I gasped. "Don’t move." my wolf said. "What are they doing? Are there more to come?" I was screaming silently, "I can’t do this anymore…" "Stop panicking! You have to close your eyes and remain absolutely still. They won’t bite you if they think that you’re a rock." my wolf said. I shut my eyes and mouth closed. "The fear of spiders is a primal one. It’s an old phobia derived from our ancestors. I can’t help it." I said desperately to her. "You can do whatever you want to do. Your fear is irrelevant. It’s all inside your mind. Just don’t let your fear overtake you. Just concentrate on healing yourself." my wolf said. She was always so calm a
Louisa’s POV "Big paw! Is that you?" I stretched out my arms towards that figure. The figure jumped quickly at me. But as soon as he approached me, I realized that he wasn’t the big black wolf. He was shorter and skinnier than him. "Surprise, surprise." The voice sounded sinister, "A naked lady in the cave! Today’s really my lucky day." My heart sank immediately. "Don’t come closer!" I said, "I was just bitten by a red cobra and wolf spiders. If you touch me, you’ll be poisoned." "I have never heard of anything more stupid than that." that voice smirked, "Poison isn’t contagious, but stupidity is. But since I’ve been alone for a really long tie, I guess I’ll take my chance today." As he said, he started to approach me. I used my only available hand to press against him. "Stay away from me! My friend will come and he will rip you into pieces!" I screamed in a scratchy voice. The elephants walking into the cave seemed to notice my scream, they started trumpetin
Louisa’s POV "Little rascal. What are you doing up on an elephant’s head?" I heard a familiar voice. I couldn’t believe what I heard. "Uma?! Is that you?!" I cried out and tried to get down. The mother elephant used her trunk to wrap me again. She carried me and put me down next to a blurry figure. I struggled to get up, but I could only lift my body up with one arm. A pair of warm and gentle hands were placed on my waist and lifted me up. Then, I smelt it. The fragrance of thyme and hypericum. "Uma… It’s really you! I’m not dreaming! You’re here with me. You aren’t dead!" I cried in her arms. Her skin was soft and tender. "I know. I know. Little rascal. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have left you alone." she said. I lifted my hands to touch her face. Her eyebrows, her nose, her lips and her chin. It was really her! "Uma, Lucian said that you were dead…" I cried, "He said you bit your own tongue and you were burnt in the fire…" "I am here, you little ra
Louisa’ POV Uma set up a bonfire in the middle of the clearing. The moonlight and dim flame light combined together and illuminated her flawless silhouette. All of my limbs regained mobility. So I crawled down the big black wolf’s back and took out some potion from my baggage. I walked towards the mother elephant, looked up and said, "Thank you for helping me. I’m going to apply some potion to your leg. If you leave the wound like this, it will get inflamed." The elephant flapped her ears for acknowledgment. I poured some potion on her leg. Her leg twitched for a bit. "Is that hurt?" I asked. "I’ve got worse." she said. She slowly turned her back and showed me a big scar on the other leg. Even though it was recovered, I could still see a dent on her leg. Part of her leg’s flesh was missing. "What happened?" I gasped. "A wolf bit me." she said, "A giant black wolf." "That wolf?" I pointed to my wolf, which was lying next to the bonfire with eyes half-c
Louisa’s POV When the first ray of morning sun woke me up, I stretched out my arms and murmured, "Uma…" There was nothing in front of me except the relics of the bonfire. I couldn’t see Uma anywhere. I turned back. The black wolf was still behind me, sleeping soundly. "Uma…?" I raised my voice a bit and my throat was burning. I was so thirsty. Then, I heard some rustling sound coming behind a bush. I was alerted because I thought it might be a snake or something. So I pulled up a charred stick and tried to defend myself. A hUman figure emerged from the bush. It was a young man in Uma’s clothes. He had got fair hair and a pair of turquoise-colored eyes. He was holding a bowl made of bamboo stick, which was filled with water. He was surprised to see me awake, so the water splashed a bit from the bowl. "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up." he walked to me and said, "I thought you might need some water when you’re awake." "Stop! Don’t come closer!"
Louisa’s POV When I went back to the clearing, I saw the big black wolf putting a nest of quail eggs and a chunk of bee hive next to the bonfire. He then tilted his head and looked at me. Sticky honey was dripping from his mouth. I smiled and quickly walked up to him. I tiptoed and wiped the honey on his snout. The sticky substance got on my hands and I smiled. "It’s so slimy." I said. He looked happy and started to lick my hands. "You like honey, don’t you, Finn?" I giggled while his tongue was tickling my palms. He suddenly stopped and looked at me with surprise. His stare was full of passion and sincerity, which made my face burn. I lowered my head and said, "I’ll go wash my hands and make some eggs and compote for breakfast." As I was about to walk away, I found that my sleeve was pulled. I turned back and saw him holding my sleeve in his mouth. "What?" I smiled, "I have to cook breakfast. You can come with me if you want. Catch some fish, maybe. Th
