Chapter 9
Lucas’ POV
I barged out of the room before I changed into my wolf form. The door was broken from my escape but it could be easily replaced later. The anger and frustration had gotten the best of me that I ripped my nice clothes during my untimely change. If I stayed for another second, I certainly would have killed her brother. I hadn’t meant to hurt her brother but she didn’t keep her promise.
I had to bite her and mark her mine but it was becoming harder than I thought. She was infatuating, driving me insane but at the same time, I was in awe of her quirkiness. Her sharp attitude and her dislike towards me have driven me crazy. How can such a girl refuse to an once-in-a-lifetime chance of becoming Alpha female? Damn. She wasn’t like most girls.
Even though she made me want to shoot myself at times, figuratively speaking, I somehow liked that about her. She was quick with words and knew how to talk back. I admired her. Other girls would bat their eyes at me and try to “win me over.” It would be absolutely disgusting if it wasn’t so hilarious but Alexia was definitely not that type.
She reminded me of my older sister, Lexi, who was just as good with words as Alexia. Just thinking about Lexi made me howl in sorrow. The blue dress Alexia had been wearing was one of Lexi’s old clothing, one that she wore often and seeing Alexia wear it had opened a wound in my heart. They both had the same black hair and similar personality. Alexia and Zane’s sibling relationship was so dead on to what Lexi’s and my relationship was. We had always joked around and pulled silly pranks on each other growing up and we were closer than anything in the world. Nothing could keep us apart…except death.
I tried to run away from that wretched mansion that had held all the painful memories but the memory of the past haunted me. Running away wouldn’t make me forget what happened.
I lost Lexi and my parents three years ago when a werewolf hunter crashed a party, killing a third of the pack. I was forced to stay home since it was an “adult’s” party. I remembered my seventeen year old self begging my parents to take me. The party, as I found out later, was an ambush that killed almost everyone. Few made it out alive and many others were hurt but my parents and Lexi were the unlucky ones. They had been assassinated by the werewolf hunter, each shot exactly once through the heart with a silver bullet, instantly killing them.
When one of the elder pack members visited me that night and told me of the tragic news, I was in a complete wreck. Being an immature boy I was, I let myself get drunk and do things I would scowl at if it happened today but I knew my pack needed me since I had become the next Alpha. At first the façade of holding off any emotions was hard to pull on but now, after three years, I could put on a straight face. But recently, Alexia had made it hard to pull it off.
I kept running in any direction hoping to let out the thousand conflicting feelings that went through me. I hated showing emotions because it was a sign of weakness but when I was with her, my well-rehearsed emotions would falter. Her image invaded my head and no matter how far I ran, she was still there. I growled. I was the Alpha. I couldn’t get blinded by what people thought of as love. Love was for the weak.
The only reason I was trying to bite her and make her mine was so that I wouldn’t be a shame in the society of our pack. If people found out I haven’t bitten her yet, it would be a disgrace and people would start to question if it was right for me to be the Alpha. Rumor already spread that I couldn’t control her and that she was reckless and never listened to what I said, which was true, but the rumor was embarrassing on my part.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
I soon reached the far end of the woods away from the house when I smelled someone new. I would always have been able to smell someone and knew who it was before I saw them but this scent was entirely new. I followed the scent, letting my instincts guide me to find this intruder. The scent was moving quickly to the mansion.
I sped up, my hind legs pushing itself powerfully to move faster. I couldn’t let anyone get hurt, especially Alexia or else the society would surely have me by the head. I stopped at the edge of the woods that surrounded the mansion. I was in the backyard when I spotted Alexia and Zane walking together, barefoot on the soft grass lawn. It wasn’t their scent I smelled but someone else. I scanned the perimeter of the area until I spotted the intruder.
