Lucas' POV
Fuck this world.
Fuck my life.
Fuck Finn.
That mother fucker dwelled on my suffering.
I started to complain about my grievance and misery like there was no tomorrow -
"What the fuck is wrong with this fucking chick?! Why can't she just be like everybody else?! Just spread her legs and let me fuck her! She always gets on my nerves! The first minute she forced me to swear under the full moon that I wouldn't fuck with other people, the next minute she fucking changed her mind and decided to run away with that fucking warlock! Why it has to be this difficult?!"
"She's Wray Fay's descendant. She was born to be a Gifted One. If you hadn't made her so angry, probably she would never have realized how powerful she is," Finn said.
"I guess we could say, you made her who she is," Finn added when he didn't get a response from me.
"Oh, fuck," I said. "What am I supposed to do now? I was planning to let Lycidas take her away. But now she has turned into a fucking weapon of mass destruction and she might have already figured out my real identity! Fucking tuna head druids. I will fucking smash their head and put them in cans."
"They didn't say anything," my wolf said.
"They called you Dark Prince!"
"I'm dark, and I look like a prince. Is there any problem with that?" he asked.
"Before long everyone will know that my father had crawled out of the fucking shit hole. Fuck. Kill those two idiots, now, Finn. They know too much!" I said.
"No," he said.
"Don't fuck with me, Finn. Kill that two fucking tunaheads and we move on to solve the problem of this fucking she-wolf," I urged him.
"No," Finn repeated.
"Are you fucking kidding me?! You keep saying no to me and it has become a fucking habit! You do whatever I fucking tell you to do! Our lives are fucking hanging on a thread now!"
"Do you know why Louisa has so many friends wherever she goes?" he asked.
"I don't even give a fuck!" I shouted.
"The animals, werewolves, the warlock, and the druids. They all follow her and they are all willing to die for her. Do you know why?" he asked.
I got extremely irritated.
"Is this fucking lecture time again?" I said. "Are you going to teach me that I should love others so they can love me back? It's fucking 3 a.m., Finn! And we've got lots of loose ends to tie!"
Finn ignored me and continued, "Look at those tiny little cloaks she made for these fishermen druids. Look at the way she takes care of those weasels. They are her substitute children."
"Are you suggesting that I should fuck her and make her pregnant right now? So she won't leave me because she's pregnant with my child?" I asked.
"Luke, you're fucking impossible," my wolf said.
"What the fuck do you want me to do?! Give me some practical solutions, Finn! And I'll fucking do it! Lycidas is coming to pick her up and I have to marry that red-headed broad. My life is a fucking mess right now..."
"And you have no one else to blame but yourself. You and your incapability of love," he said.
"Fuck! I'll call Lucian instead," I said.
"Come on, give your Beta a few moments of quietness with his lovely pregnant wife. He almost handed in his resignation today. You need to cut him some slacks and give him some time," he said.
"Great. My life is falling apart and everyone is trying to abandon ship. I feel so depressed right now and I don't want to talk anymore," I said.
I can do fucking passive-agressive attitude. Just say great when I want to say fuck. It's not that difficult at all.
"Luke, have I ever let you down before? Quit being depressed and cheer up. I have a perfect solution for you," he said.
"What? I'm all ears," I said.
"Stop what you're doing right now. Dismiss all your soldiers. Take Louisa with you and go back to the Underground City, where you'll be literally living like a King," he said.
"Are you fucking asking me to run away and hide underground?!" I shouted. "My people have spent generations to crawl out of that fucking shit hole and they are not fucking doing that for me to crawl back into it like a fucking dickless rat!"
"I'm asking you to quit. You've done pretty much everything that you can do up here and you've already made your point. You've built civilized cities in the North and people will remember you for doing that. The seeds of freedom and liberty, or whatever you call them, have already been planted. Even your dead father is smiling at you right now and feeling proud of you. Leave everything to your Beta and get out of this when you still can."
"I'm literally just one step away from the highest power in the Kingdom, and you're telling me to quit?!" I asked. "I know your multiple faces, Finn, but I don't know you're a fucking coward and quitter!"
"This is not about me being a coward or quitter. It's about how you have been brainwashed by your Beta," Finn said.
"Why does everything have something to do with Lucian?! I mean..."
Finn interrupted me and said, "Because you're not a grown-up. So everything about you ought to have something to do with your mommy. Do you know why I don't like Lucian? Because he always treats you like his child. And in a mother's eyes, her son is born with unlimited potential. But that's exactly what the problem is. He keeps telling you that you can achieve whatever you want to achieve, but that's a lie. I don't care what Lucian has been telling you. All those "nothing is impossible" crap. I will remain very objective and tell you the hard truth. You can't fight those Lycans. You're not in the same weight class as Lycidas. You can win battles on a field, but you can't last one day in his court. It's a circus out there, Luke, and you're not born to be a clown."
