Casey's words were still ringing in Owen's ears. His anger was surging up constantly on the very thought that his mate was also just like the other Lycans out there who mistreated Lucas. Owen had been with Lucas since childhood and with the passing years, their bond had got stronger. It was so strong that Owen could not bear a word against Lucas. Owen's face was puffed up in anger and he muttered under his breath, "How could she??" With those angry words not ready to leave his mouth or tongue, his lips kept on quivering as he stomped inside the Clan House!The atmosphere inside the Clan House was a silent one since most of the Red River Clan Members were outside in the woods, enjoying the party to the fullest. The Clan House was as silent as a mouse that even the Lycan Knight's flat shoes will make a sound that will echo inside the spacious Clan House. CLANK!His feet encased in black shoes made a loud clicking sound against the tile surface as he stomped one step below and came to
Owen sucked in a long breath as his wide eyes absorbed what lay to his front. "Huh, where is Lucas?!" said Owen, his hand still clutching the backrest of the royal chair while his eyes were on the empty chair that had no occupant. The only thing on the seat of the chair was Lucas' long black jacket. From where Owen stood previously, the long jacket hanging down from the chair's seat made it look like Lucas was sitting but that wasn't the case. Owen's eyes narrowed down, once they had absorbed that Lucas wasn't anywhere. Clicking his tongue and exhaling a sharp breath, Owen saw the chair for the last time before turning his head to his right.Releasing his hand clutching the chair, he outstretched it and pointed his finger to the window."He was standing right there and watching over the celebration!" Owen said brusquely as his mind reminded him of how he had seen a pair of red eyes in the window of Lucas' study room that was pitch black while he was giving a speech that had his hea
THUD!The still waters of the lake got disturbed as the enormous body of Lycan Knight was pulled by the magical ray of red light deep into the waters of the lake.The deafening silence surrounding the backyard of the Clan House got broken by the splashing sound of the waters that sprung out of the lakes as the Lycan Knight, Owen was drowned into the waters. The water from the lake also splashed slightly against a pair of black shoes encased in a pair of meaty feet that just stood in front of the rocking chair. Those feet belong to a towering figure of about 8 feet tall. His upper body was broad and muscular. One of his strappy shoulders was outstretched and his sturdy palm was facing the lake. A dark red light was emanating from his palm that extended all the way to Owen's neck in the form of a noose. Owen was struggling in the water. "Hmmm!!!" A low growl reverberated from his broad, well-toned chest that was bulging in and out due to aggression. While his right hand was outstretch
The grave words of Owen vocalized in his serious, deep voice rang in Lucas' ears a few times. "We need to have a talk!" Lucas took a second or two before eyeing Owen from up to down. Following Lucas' gaze Owen did the same to himself before reaching his blue eyes to Lucas' bloodshot ones.Owen was puzzled. Pasting a puzzled expression on his face, he reiterated, "Lucas, we need to talk!"Lucas thoughtfully pointed his finger at Owen and moved it up and down. "With that clothes on?" Lucas asked in his husky voice. Owen detached his eyes from Lucas and looked down at his heavily drenched clothes. The clothes were tightly clinging to his skin. Instead of showing his strappy body, what was visible through the translucent white shirt was Owen's shrinking body. Owing to the cold weather and having a dip in the chilly waters of the lake caused goosebumps all over his body accompanied with shivering. His eyes fleeted from himself and looked at Lucas who said with a dry face, "Go get chan
An awkward silence filled the porch after Lucas disconnected the call. While Owen had his eyes darted at the entrance to the porch area in the Clan House, Lucas was busy blowing the cigarette. His fingers holding the cigarette would often meet and depart from his slightly ajar lips while his other hand held the phone. His fingertips were running against the screen. His bloodshot eyes were immersed in the phone screen as his fingertips kept on scrolling, signifying Lucas was reading something really important. Owen was growing impatient to talk with Lucas. His eyes could no longer be still at the entrance and were quick to depart from there and reach out to Lucas. Owen's furrowed eyebrows knitted together on seeing Lucas having a serious look on.Owen thought, "What's the matter?" His gaze dropped from Lucas' tense face to his phone as he wondered, "What is he doing on the phone late at night?" He lightly shook his head as he sighed and said in his mind, "Lucas, Lucas! What do I do a
"Fine! I can take and live with YOUR credits! But I can't LIVE with YOUR MATE, right?"Owen's words rang in Lucas' ears. His eyes switched to a darker shade of red, glowing dangerously at the glass, he was tightly clenching in his sturdy palm. His bloodshot eyes shot up from the glass to meet Owen who just mentioned those words with audacity. Owen was no longer gaping at Lucas. Instead, he had his gaze on the lake as he poured out his mind without any hesitation and without giving a second thought. "I already have my mate, Lucas! I can't have yours, right?! I am not supposed to mate with her on your behalf!" Owen said all of this in a breath and his voice was high-pitched and squealed, showing how frustrated he was. His face bearing tension and anger all of a sudden went cold as his very own set of words rang in his ears. "What the f*ck did I say?!" Owen blasted out in his mind and his eyes went wide. Hardly had he completed his words in his mind that he could hear a shattering s
"Mate Matching Ceremony?!" Lucas said in his shrill voice holding a considerable amount of shock. Owen not only gave a confident nod to his question but also raised his eyebrows in emphasis.Lucas was biting his lower lip in shock. It was just hard to digest that something as big as the Mate Matching Ceremony was happening without him knowing it and that too tomorrow in the RED RIVER CLAN's Territory!Lucas was unnerved for an important event not happening in the clan with his consent and he asked in disbelief and his tone this time also carried anger, "In our Clan?!"Again Lucas received a nod from Owen. Lucas' mouth fell agape and he detached his eyes from Owen and randomly had his glance at the surroundings before returning to Owen. Pushing out a long breath of frustration, Lucas blasted through his gritted teeth, "And how come you are making such a big decision alone?!" The air of disbelief was still around and Lucas screeched, "How could you do that?!"Owen gaped at the angry
Lucas was downright angry when Owen paired him with Shell Clan Lycan King's Daughter. Closing his eyes for a second, Owen said with a gawky smile, "Trust me, Lucas, you two will look so perfect!" Owen pressed Lucas' shoulder and flashed a beaming smile. Lucas closed his eyes and his red face vibrated. Out of fury, he shook himself aggressively and pushed Owen's hands, releasing himself from his tight grip. Throwing his palm to grab Owen's back of the neck, he shouted, "It's my life, there's no need for you to set me up with anyone! I will choose my mate whenever I want!"Owen dropped his grin and hissed, "You are waiting for others to take away your mate, right?! I am afraid that when you run down to choose your mate, she might already be someone else's, Lucas?!" With a drop dead serious look, Owen said that. Owen's bitter truth rendered Lucas' anger to reach the seventh sky. Owen closed his eyes as he could feel the grip on the back of his neck hardened by Lucas sending pain to h
