LUCY.

“I can. But can you?” His eyes bored deep into mine.

“What do you exactly want from me?” I asked, trying not to raise my voice.

Lucius appeared out of thin air, and I saw his jaw twitch when his gaze fell on Adan before anger flitted across his expression at my father’s following words.

“Rule this kingdom with me.”

Lucius obviously wanted this for himself.

“I don’t want your kingdom! I have a pack! I am the Luna of my pack, not of Kalmerus!”

“You belong in this realm, Lucija.”

“I never feel like I belong here, Lucien. Set me free.”

“No.” His eyes blazed red as his grip on the armrest tightened as the whip was used to hit Adan again.

“Stop hurting him!”

“Calm down! Or there will be more.”

“You’re not playing fair. I’m trying to calm down, but you’re still hitting him!”

“Who says Lucien plays fair?”

“Can you both calm down? And Father, stop hitting the fucking wolf! If he dies, Lucija will fucking perish as well!” Lucius ‘ hissed in annoyance.

“You’re underestimating the Alpha in front of you, Lucius. It takes more than a whip to kill him.”

“I hate you.” My lips quivered in anger,

but I was controlling my fire, and I was

getting good at it.

“Thank you. Hate and greed make me stronger. So shower me more.”

“Let Adan go.”

“I told you I can do that. But can you?”

“No. Whip me more if you want, but let Lucy and I go.” Adan shouted.

“I’m not talking to you, Stone. Again,

Lucija, can you let him go?”

My lips quivered because I knew the answer would be painful.

“I have options for you.” My father flashed me one of his wicked smiles, and I knew this was not good. “I can do this without your help, but since we will be working together for the good of

Kalmerus, I want to include you in all my plans moving forward.”

I held my breath as a hologram appeared in front of me, making me step backward

They looked like they were arguing as Blade threw his luggage inside his Jeep.

“I found the witch. Her coven is

sheltering her and I can not get through on their territory at the moment but I will find a way soon.” He smiled at me as if he won already. “However, the man who looked important to her is leaving without any spell to protect him. I can
