Louisa's POV
"What is it?" I asked.
"I can't tell you unless you feed me and stroke me." Blanco shook his head while staring at the grass next to my feet.
I sighed and picked up more grass and put them into his mouth.
His ears flicked back and forth, so I stroked them gently.
"Can you tell me now?" I frowned and asked.
Blanco munched and said, "I saw you before when you were little."
"What?!" I was shocked. "What do you mean?"
"When you were little, like this big." He shook his head from side to side, drawing the length of a forearm.
"You mean when I was a baby?" I asked.
"Un-huh," Blanco said and took another bite of grass.
"But... Where did you see me? How do you know it was me?" I stroked him and asked.
"I sniffed you at that time and I recognized your smell," he replied.
I couldn't believe what I heard and said, "You were a little pony at that time. A lot of people have the same smell. I mean, I'm sure I don't smell the same as when I was a baby..."
He neighed, "It's you. I know it. You have a distinct smell on your body. People might not be able to distinguish it, but I can."
I frowned. I knew horses had a stronger sense of olfactory, but I wouldn't expect it would be this strong.
Probably he was just trying to cheat me into feeding him and giving him a massage. But still.
"Where did you see me at that time?" I asked.
"In our old home. They've got a giant stable there. There were a lot of horses. I guess it was a palace."
OK. That was enough. He was talking complete nonsense.
I was born and bred in our tribe, which had nothing to do with the palace.
I patted his head and asked, "Do I smell awful?"
"Not at all. You smell good. You smell just like our old home." Blanco stroked his head against my hands. But suddenly, he stopped moving.
Then, his ears flickered.
"What happened? Did you hear something?" I asked.
"Oh, no." Blanco said, "Torrent's coming. I hate him. He's a nightmare."
"Torrent? You mean, Lucas' horse?" I asked and looked around.
Then, I saw Lucas and Lucian riding towards me.
"What the fuck are you doing here alone?" He jumped off the horse and walked to me.
He walked like a force of nature. It made me feel some sort of storm was impending.
I stepped back and said, "I'm just wandering about here. Please don't come closer."
Lucian got off the horse and said, "You have to go back. It's too dangerous here around the hunting ground."
Lucas threw his whips to Lucian and removed his gloves. He took a glance at Blanco and lifted my chin.
"Look at you, growing taller and stronger after stepping into the dark side. How does it feel to change into an undead?" He stroked my face while sizing me up. "Zack's given you a ring and his favorite horse. You know what, why don't you ask him to marry you? Maybe he will let you suck his fucking blood as well."
I stepped back and tried to keep a distance from him.
However, he grabbed my waist with his hands.
As soon as he grabbed me, I knew all my efforts would turn into vain.
I was getting stronger, but obviously, I wasn't strong enough to defy him.
"What the fuck have you done to him? What's your arrangement? A sculpture for getting you stripped naked? Going downtown for a ring? A good cum-bath for a fucking horse?"
I tried to push him away and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Please let go of me."
But the more I pushed, the more excited he got.
Lucas asked with a sadistic smile, "Why? Do you want to go back to him right now? You can't wait to be fucked by him, right? Do you really know him? Do you know what he does to sluts like you?"
I looked him into his eyes and said, "I don't care what he's going to do to me! Whatever he does, it will be way better than what you've done to me! Go back to your life routine of killing, hunting, and hurting more women. Do whatever you want to do and leave me alone!"
"I will go back to it, but only after I'm done with you," He said.
Then, he carried me up over his shoulder and walked into the woods. I knew what he was about to do to me. So I fought violently by kicking my arms and punching his back, but it was of no use.
I lifted my head and saw Lucian was tying Blanco and Torrent to a tree.
"Please help me! I don't want to do this!" I shouted at Lucian.
He looked at me without any emotion on his face. Then, he lifted his hand and placed a finger over his lips.
I cried at the top of my lungs and screamed, but Lucas used his giant hand to cover my mouth.
I shook my head and tried to bite his hand, but I couldn't.
Lucas slapped me and said, "Fuck, I should have listened to Lucian and made a muzzle for you. If you dare to make one more sound, I'll fucking rape you right here right now and I'll let all the Alphas come and join us."
I looked at him with eyes wide open. I knew he meant every word he had just said.
He pressed me against a tree and pressed his body against my back.
"We only have time for a quicky, so I need you to be a good girl. Are you a good girl?" He asked next to my ear.
I was immediately turned on by this dirty move. He was my mate. I was naturally drawn to him. I couldn't control myself but have a feeling for him.
"I'm talking to you now, fucking leech." He said and pressed his body more violently against me.
"Why do you have to treat me like this, Lucas?" I wept in tears. "If you don't love me, just reject me and set me free."
"Don't you fucking call my name, slut!" He groaned.
What kind of life am I living? I thought to myself. Alpha Zackery bows to his horse before getting on its back. My mate, on the other hand, is trying to take me like an animal in the woods against my will.
I gathered all my strength and squeezed words out of my mouth, "Lucas, my name is Louisa Reeds. If you want to reject and kill me, do it right now."
