~Damien~
I was wiping my hands with the hand towel beside the sink when Lucas walked in.
“I took Cranon out.” He exhaled and leaned on the opposite wall.
“He will send a report before midnight,” Lucas added.
“I’ll be waiting, if not I’ll truly kill him this time,” I smirked at the mirror and swept my hair backward.
“Damien you almost took his eyes! How would he have gone about what you asked him to do? It’s a good thing Viola called me.” Lucas huffed with a glare at me.
“She called you?” I was disappointed she did.
“Yes. She didn’t want you to kill him.” I steal a glance at Lucas over the mirror.
What could her reason be?
I shrugged the thoughts off and tossed the towel to his face, he caught them and dropped them where they belong.
“Have they been taken out of the well?” I opened the door and walked out.
“Yes, and we restricted everyone from going there. Their bodies were painted black, and a bit disfigured.” Lucas raked his fingers over his hair as he followed me down the corridor.
“We just have to find the murderer. He could be hiding close.”
“He said ‘Kill The Enemy’ I would have thought he was a hidden werewolf among us but the circumstances around it don’t make it seem like it. It’s just another one of us.” Lucas hurried with his steps to keep up with me.
“It was a warning to me.” I smiled and tuck my hands into my pocket.
“I had the same thought as you, Lucas.” Whoever that was, was against me, and tonight I would take him out where he was hiding.
“Where are we headed?” Lucas called behind me.
“We?” I stopped abruptly and face him.
“Why are you following me, Lucas?”
“If I had a mate I wouldn’t be following you every day, it’s because I’ve nothing to do. I would have been an occupied husband.” He hissed through his teeth.
I shook my head at him with a smile.
“I’m not sure she’s anywhere in this pack.” Else Lucas would have found her, though our pack is one of the biggest or the biggest because all the Lycans lived here.
“I know right, I would have seen her if she was here.” He sighs dejectedly.
“Maybe she’s a werewolf or a human.” I voiced out my thoughts with a slight shrug and head out through the front door.
“Are you coming along or you’re standing there?”
“I’m right behind you.” Lucas laughed.
“Let’s go.”
I was in the woods for a long time, searching throughout and along the borders, I was hearing sneaky movements around the spot where I was.
“Something wasn’t right.”
My back was against a tree. I looked up if I could see the moon from there but I was covered up with trees.
“Damien,” Lucas called through the mind link.
“What is it?” Lucas and I separated and I went into the woods when he heads down to the town.
I told him to keep me updated. I had gone over to the well and searched the place myself and it brought me back here.
Something that has to do with Viola.
“Cranon sent words.” He answered through the mind link.
“Where are you?” I moved my back away from the tree.
I ran faster when I shift, so I did and let Dugan take control of me. Running into the woods to meet up with Lucas.
Viola was someone I need to keep safe, no matter what happens.
I met up with Lucas close to the borders, he was holding a little paper. He gave it to me and I took them from his hands and stare at him and looked down at what the paper said.
“The rouges coming into the pack were as we suspect, checking our security. It seems they belong to some particular rogue king.” Lucas explained what he found out and what Cranon had sent to him.
A rouge king?
“But doesn’t involve the accident in the pack.” He deep his hands into his pocket and turns away from me.
“I know it doesn’t.” I crumpled the letter in my hands. A rogue king, the name annoys me, and I couldn’t picture who the hell the man was!
“I need to go,” I announced.
“Where are you going to?” He spun around and meet my gaze.
“Home, I’ve to be sure she’s safe.”
“Nothing can happen to her at the mansion.” Lucas countered, but I wanted to be certain, what if she wasn’t home and had gone out to look for me like she did the other time?
She was reckless at times, she doesn’t know she was in a territory where she has to be extremely careful of who she is with or beside her.
“You should have some rest, I’ll be at the borders in case anything happens and I’ll let you know about it immediately.”
I glanced around the warriors all standing defensively at the pack.
“Where’s Roland?”
I looked around but I couldn’t find him.
“He should be around, I saw him a while ago.” Lucas looked behind me.
“Hey, where is Roland?” He throws a question at one of the warriors that were closest to him.
“He left earlier.” He answered timidly.
Did he leave?
Where did he go?
Lucas seems to have the same question as I did, as we stared at each other.
Roland?
It couldn’t be.
If I didn’t kill the enemy, he would take him out himself. That was what those words means.
“Lucas now!” I growled and immediately shifted to my form. I was far from the mansion because I was deep in the woods.
This was his plan to lure me out.
Dugan is angry, my eyes were completely dark.
I swear I was gonna kill anyone who dares to touch mate.
I would kill them!
I roared, as I ran.
I knew Lucas was behind me as I ran.
I wasn’t mistaken, someone was after Viola, they want to see the beast. I would give it to them!
