Chapter Twenty Five (unedited)
Lucas' POV
Lucas drowned his misery with his best friend. Scotch
Such taste that could blur your senses. Tangled yourself with the web of oblivion and restlessness. Lucas couldn't help as a bitter laugh escaped his foul mouth, stench with alcohol and despair
Now everything is fúcked up
Lucas began to groan as he continuously pulled his hair as he sat on his desk. Cursing his Wolf and the pull for Savanna winning. The call for Savanna's scent and blood has affected him greatly and now that he had claimed her as his- he didn't know what to do next
Marking her had been the greatest and biggest mistake Lucas as ever done and now he's going to pay for this recklessness of his
His plan wasn't doing well... No, it was going the other direction and now he didn't know how to turn back to it's original pace. Lucas continued to drink himself away, losing himself to the buzz that made him forget about the big problem he has right now.
How is he going to win now?
Regret was consuming his very soul, the fact that Lucas had been throwing himself to work with his cousin, Alaric, and took some control with the pressing battle they were about to face. Now he had ignored Savanna in every turn. His body would move away when he could smell her scent and would turn the other way. Savanna had been trying to call him, begging him with her wolfs cry, trying to interact with his but Lucas only shrugged it off.
It was hard, being away with her and ignoring her. The way she did the best she could to talk to him or just give her glance but still- Lucas never wavered
Instead he threw himself to work- busying himself with useless things and now his wolf began to scratch his flesh. Teeth and power combined, making Lucas uneasy and rigid. This wasn't going to well. He needs to touch Savanna, he had to but he couldn't knowing he would make things worst if they made contact
Suddenly a knock filled his ears as it perked up- wishing it would be Savanna but as he got a whiff of that foul stench of his cousin, his frustration grew.
Alaric didn't wait for Lucas' to tell him to enter. He went in with confidence but it changed the moment Lucas roared in pain and anger as he threw his glass on top if Alaric's head, making him duck in the process
"Woah, cousin your wolf making you anxious?"
"Get out" Lucas gritted out. His shaking hands made contact with his hair feeling them with his unkept locks. He didn't need his cousins presence right now. In fact he couldn't stand anyone's presence but hers. Savanna
God his blood was pumping too fast, his heart beat accelerated the moment his memory flashed through the years he's known her. How he met her as a baby and now into a beautiful woman he couldn't keep his hand off
"Fúck" he cursed when he realized his claws had elongated just as his fangs did when his eyes kept on flashing him of her. His skin touching hers, bodies molded each other as Lucas fought for control
'Stupid mutt' he thought, knowing his wolf was doing this in purpose
Suddenly he remembered he wasn't alone and when he did looked up, Alaric was smiling from ear to ear, finding his situation too funny
"Women cousin. Your balls are claimed by a women which means they control your body for a mans testicles are in fact our pride" he joked
"Shut up Alaric, you got yours shoved down Missy's throat"
"And I welcome it cousin. The fact that my mate got my balls under her hand makes me hers"
"Pússy whipped" Lucas muttered
"What can I say! I'm proud of it. Now I came here to ask you why the hell are you here when your supposedly mate is down in her chambers moaning at her wolfs restlessness"
Lucas head snapped towards his direction. A low growl vibrated through his chest when he thought ' Savanna had been hurting?'
Alaric who understood his thought nodded
"Savanna hadn't left her room and we believe her wolf is trying to force herself into solitude"
"Then why Fúck haven't you taken her out ! She's killing herself!" He roared as he stood. His eyes flashed black the moment he realized her wolf had been torturing itself
"Don't you think we are trying? That girl won't let us near her. She wouldn't even eat how much more her human would die faster the-"
Alaric didn't have time to finish. Lucas had pinned him on the wall the moment he brought up death
"Don't you dare Alaric. Do not get into our problems. It's ours not yours so stay the fùck away" he growled
Alaric only laughed. A bitter laugh he couldn't stop until it became a full blown one
"This is your problem Lucas not hers- don't forget that you brought her into this. I'm just looking out for my cousin- in-law"
Breathing hard, Lucas groaned and let go, leaving Alaric calm and collected as he brushed of the wrinkled polo Lucas had made
"What I'm trying to say is that you need a better plan then to kill two powerful wolves" he indicated the two of them before he cleared his throat "anyway I didn't come here to inform you about your mates health but I came to discuss about the fight and preparations. So..." Alaric moved and place his hands on top of Lucas desk- humor now gone "what is our strategy"
All playfulness gone and was now on business mode yet Lucas couldn't help as his mind would wander around Savanna. Lucas had been itching himself. He felt the burn and time began to destroy the bond. He had to do this, he thought.
"We need to build defenses around our land. Build an underground safe for the pups and those women who are unable to fight. I want every man, woman and even pups who could fight in the field" Lucas could tell Alaric wanted to disagree but Lucas wasn't having it. He brought his fingers up indicating he wasn't finish
"Everyone who could fight Alaric"
"But you cant be serious Lucas? Children of the age of ten and above?" He asked incredulously. His eyes speak of his morals but this battle was no longer a battle between a wolf fighting for lands and survival against other wolves. This was a battle between magic and shapeshifters. Lucas knew too much of Vashka to even think that they were safe with so little fighters. He needs all those who could fight for our extinction
"Do you really think a million of wolves could defeat ghouls and dark magic Alaric?"
"I have faith in it" He said calmly but a bitter laugh escaped Lucas' mouth when he looked at his cousin in disbelief.
"Faith cousin? Do you really believe faith could help us? we need a miracle, but I won't sit idly believing in faith that thousand of men would fight and hope for the best that we win this war" Lucas stood before he said to his cousin
"You may be the alpha Alaric but my power has kept this wall strong and stable. Do you doubt my power, has my sacrifices not taught you enough?" silently he watched his cousin who only looked at him with a battle between sacrifices and his values. Alaric was a good leader but he was too soft to be one, he sympathizes too much believing their was good in the bad and this trait had destroyed his pack once. Lucas wouldn't want that happening again
"How much of the wolves agree to fight?" He asked the silent man in front of him who only whispered
"Around a million"
"That's too little, I need you to send message. To those who are obdurate, fight them until they bend- use every power you have to change their mind now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting to attend to" Lucas stood and left his office, leaving Alaric, slumped against the chair with frustration
Lucas walked around the place, his head filled with plans and arguments but one never left his mind, and it was the she wolf he was beginning to worry
Goddess give him strength for he can't be weak. And she was making him weak.
As he walked, his heart began to feel heavier. His body was no longer in control that he was beginning to lose his mind.
He needed to see her
he couldn't handle this pain anymore
That woman....
but before Lucas could walk towards the other way, the sound came. ringing his ears indicating a visitor and Lucas didn't need to know who it was.....
