Lucy opened her eyes which were still blurry. She shook her head swiftly as she endeavored to notice all that surrounded her. Being oblivious to her surroundings, it took her a while before she detected the iron door that was fixed to the wall, keeping her from breaking out, and the dried leaves that were strewn all over the ground.

She was struck with fear when a rat squeaked by, climbing over her back. She moved with great rapidity and with a sudden sharp scream. Her legs dangled, scattering the leaves as she crawled hurriedly and leaned her back against the wall. She gasped for breath as it took a toll on her.

"Hey, Katherine... You're here," She whispered, her heart racing faster than usual, and maneuvered hastily to where Katherine was. She was unconscious, she tilted her head swiftly so she opened her eyes but it was all in vain. Her head bleeds and there were spots on her face, so obvious that anyone could tell she received an intensified beating.

Katherine was the one who assisted Lucy escape from the pack after which she requested help from her. Though Katherine knew the consequences of what they were bound to face if they were to be caught, Lucy was persistent in seeking her support. She won Katherine over, leaving her with no choice. 

She felt like she was indebted to her and would do anything to save her.

"Katherine, you have to wake up... I don't know what else to do," She rumored in a low tone with her lips partly apart. Katherine groaned all of a sudden when Lucy jerked her arm and slowly opened her eyes.

"That hurts," Katherine muttered, faintly. She strived to sit up but it was a difficult moment not until Lucy helped her out. She groaned in pain but being that she had her wolf already, she was able to heal. Lucy watched with all seriousness as her wounds healed up slowly. It has been a long time since she experienced something like that.

Though it wasn't surprising, it was something that seemed captivating enough to get her attention.

"But how are you here... You should have been long gone," Katherine yawned

"I don't know... They must have known," Lucy replied with uncertainty.

"How's that possible,

"I don't know, the only one who knew was you and Marie," She said speedily, figuring out she was bound to be scolded by Katherine who did all she could to help her escape the pack.

"Why, you shouldn't have told anyone... What if,"

"No, she couldn't have been the one," She clicked her tongue interrupting Katherine.

She sighed and rattled on with her words feeling sorry for having gotten Katherine involved in the whole escape mission.

"Always a kindhearted girl... You've always reminded me of your...," She paused. 

Lucy shook her head forward, expecting her to continue and let out whatever she has to say.

"What was that, Katherine," She scratched her hair and shifted closer to her. 

"You don't have to worry about that... I'm sorry I could not protect you," She held her hands and gazed at her.

Lucy was thrown into a muse by her statement, well aware of her style to wiggle out of their conversation. 

"What do you mean by that... You could not protect me," She fluttered and gulped, blinking her eyes as she waited expectantly for a response from Katherine.

Katherine chuckled and said, "It's nothing... I'm old enough to protect you, that's just it," She replied and sighed.

"Don't give me that, " I remembered, "Father would always say that to me... Like he was guilty," Lucy debated. 

She had her guesses that Katherine might be hiding something from her but yet was skeptical about it.

"What are you not telling me, Katherine... I've wanted to ask you this but I couldn't, what's going on," She claimed.

"Lucy, No..."

"Tell me, Katherine," She retorted, preventing her from completing her words.

Katherine grumbled and grunted at the same time. She took a brief look at Lucy and looked the other way. She was about to speak up but was cut in when the iron door that guards the small room creaked open, making a sharp sound.

They were both startled when a guard entered the room and glanced at the both of them.

"He seeks for you," The guard said to her and make way so she would walk out of the room.

"Who, who is that," Katherine questioned with all seriousness and with an unfriendly tone. The guard chuckled when he noticed the look on her face.

"You want to fight, you're in no state to do that," He said and growled.

"It's okay, Katherine... You don't have to worry," She sighed, her chest lingering.

"I know who he's talking about, It's Leo, the son of the Alpha," She declared with certainty. She explained what one of the guards told her after she was captured by them, as they made claims that she could have been dead if not for Leo and now, would want an audience with her.

Katherine calmed herself and drifted into silence. She doesn't want Lucy to leave her sight.

`` Nothing can happen to you... You have to live, no matter what,`` She thought to herself. She sighed sharply and nodded her head.

"Be safe, Lucy, and don't do anything foolish," She advised and threw a friendly slap across her back. She propelled her forward so that she moved out of the room, leaving her behind. The guard escorted her out and locked the door behind him.

"I guess it's time she knows," Katherine muttered and sat back on the ground.

******************

Lucy walked upfront after which the guard who accompanied her pushed her forward. She turned back only to see the guard had already left. She wandered around with her eyes but could see no one. There was no sign of anyone passing by. Where she found herself looked like the safest place to see someone or do something without anyone else knowing.

She took a few steps forward and soon sighted a Man who stood on a spot with his hands behind his back. His back was turned against Lucy so she could not see his face but noticed his blonde neck-length hair and his broad shoulder. She inclined her head as she felt drawn to him.

"What's going on with me... Why do I feel this way," She whispered, blinking her eyes. She decided to have a closer look so she walked towards him, but slowly, taking her steps one after the other.

"You felt it too, don't you,"

She was stunned when she heard him speak. She was thrown into a muse by his words.

"What do you mean," Lucy pressed on with her gaze at his back. He chuckled and slowly turned around to face Lucy.

Lucy bowed her head immediately but slowly, raised her head. She gulped when she made eye contact with him. He could see his greenish eyeball and his curly blonde hair that formed a ribbon around his forehead. She wanted to look away but she could not as her eyes caught his chest that was so visible through his unbuttoned shirt

Her lips were partly opened and her eyes twinkled, constantly. She was absorbed in her thoughts and did not even know that Leo had gotten closer to her, not until she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder. She was thrown into a sudden mild shock but became calm when Leo looked into her eyes. He was a little bit taller than her which made Lucy raise her head slightly so she maintained eye contact with him.

"You felt it, I know... That's why you feel this way," He dared to rub her chin, gently, rubbing off the dust that stained her eyelids.

Her heart raced faster than usual as she tilted her head so that she pressed her head against his palm. Lucy could only stare at him in silence. Lost in her thoughts, she ran out of words. She knew somehow that he was right about how she felt. 

To her, it was unexplainable since she never felt such a way towards anyone before.

"Does it mean..."

"Yes, you're my mate," Leo uttered with confidence before she could finish with her words. 

"Since when have you known, it can't be now," She questioned, her heart lingered as she breathed sharply. Leo gazed at her with a sinister look and nodded his head.

"Then, where have you been, all this while," She stammered and gulped as she understood what he meant by his gestures. 

She claimed to have seen him from afar countless times but had no chance to see him and even then, she never thought about it as there was nothing she had to do with him.

"There are things you don't know, Lucy," He sighed. "I shouldn't be here with you, I can't be seen right now," He paused

"What does that even mean," She questioned

"Wait, did you smell that," His eyes wandered around? "I have to go, we are not alone," He said and was about to take his leave but stopped immediately when Lucy called out to him with a low voice like a whisper.

"Don't leave me... I don't want to be alone anymore," She said to him as tears dropped down her eyes. Leo stared at her in silence, he blinked repeatedly as they turned red. He walked hurriedly towards Lucy and hugged her, rubbing his hands across her back with a gentle touch.

"I won't leave you,... But right now, I have to go," He muttered and released his hold on her.

"You're no longer a prisoner, Katherine will also be released," He said and smiled and in no time, walked away.

    Leo stood in his room, his hands clenched into fists as he stared blankly at the wall. His mind raced when the thoughts of the fight. The shame of losing to Aiden, openly, burned inside him, twisting his pride into rage.The door suddenly flew open with a loud creak. Alpha Eric stepped inside, his face was cold with anger. His sharp gaze pierced through the room as he slammed the door shut behind him.“What was that?” His voice sounded harsh. “You had the upper hand! How then did you lose to him?”Leo remained quiet, refusing to answer. Eric took a step closer, his frustration growing.“What did you do? You cheated, right?$ he hissed. “I know you did. You poisoned him—and still, you lost.”Leo didn't flinch. His heart pounded harder. “Answer me!” Eric snapped, raising his hand. Before Leo could react, a sharp slap struck his face, the sting echoing through the room.Leo slowly turned his head back to face his father, his eyes burning with anger. He had endured enough—his father's dis

    Eric leaned back slightly, his eyes narrowing. “Go on,” he allowed, his tone curious.Aiden didn't pause. “If I win against Leo,” he smiled. “I will take Lucy, the maid that held my hands back there with me.”For a moment, there was silence. The words hung heavy in the air, and the crowd exchanged confused glances. No one had expected such a demand, especially not for a maid. Isabella, who had been sitting quietly, stood up in an instant. A wide smile stretched across her face as excitement flashed in her eyes. If Aiden won and took Lucy away, it would solve everything. Lucy would no longer be a threat to her. But then, is it the best option… what would happen with her and Leo? She thought. And as for Leo, the request struck a nerve. His smile faded as he marched toward his father. Leaning close to Eric, he lowered his voice, hoping no one else would hear.“Don't agree to it,” he hissed frustration clear in his tone. “You can't let him take her.”Alpha Eric remained still for a mome

    Aiden moved fast, charging straight at Leo. His fist swung towards him but Leo was quicker. He dodged Aiden's punch and struck back with a hard blow to his side. Without giving him a chance to recover, Leo landed another punch on his chest, then his ribs, hitting him from every direction.Each strike pushed Aiden back, weakening him more. Leo's eyes gleamed with victory as he spun and delivered a powerful hook to Aiden's jaw. The force lifted Aiden off his feet. His body twisted in the air before he crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.Dust rose where he fellz and the sound echoed across the field. He landed close to where Lucy and Marie stood.

Some clapped, others cheered loudly, praising their future Alpha.Eric leaned back in his chair with a satisfied smile. He clapped his hands together, proud of his son

  • The Bite Of My Mate    Chapter 91

    The field was crowded with pack members. The full moon hung high above, casting a pale glow over the open space. Excitement and tension filled the air as everyone waited. But the one person they had expected—Luna Ava— was still not there. Murmurs spread through the crowd, quiet questions hanging without answers. Alpha Eric sat at the head of the gathering, his face calm but his fingers drumming lightly against the arm of his chair. His sharp gaze swept over the field, but there was no sign of her. The longer he waited, the heavier the silence became.A figure moved toward him—a guard, stepping close enough that only Eric could hear. He bent his head and whispered something quickly. Whatever the words were, they made Eric's expression tighten. He gave a slow nod before standing up, his towering form commanding everyone's attention. The noise faded as the pack focused on him. “The Luna will not be joining us anymore.” his voice rang out. “There are matters to be handled elsewhere and

  • The Bite Of My Mate    Chapter 90

    Evening settled iber the pack, casting a warm glow as the sun dipped low behind the distant hills. The air buzzed with energy—laughter echoed through the open fields, the scent of roasted meat drifted from the kitchen and every wolf seemed eager for the celebration that would soon begin. Lanterns hung from the trees, flickering softly as pack members hurried about, preparing for the night ahead.Meanwhile, Leo stood near a pole inside the main hall, his sharp gaze scanning the royals, the elders and other representatives from other packs. He had been searching for Ethan, but there was no sign of him. Frustration flickered in his chest as he swept his eyes across the familiar faces—men in black exchanging quick words, young wolves chasing one another in playful bursts, the elders speaking quietly among themselves—but not the one person he needed to see.He sighed quietly, shifting his focus toward the center of the hall. And there he was, that was when he noticed him—Aiden.He was dres
