31 Lies

Lucas POV

“Get up and get dressed, we have guests to greet.” Iris manages to pick her head up off the floor to look at me. She attempts to stand but can’t. “You really are pathetic, just like Conrad” I say before I wave my hand in her direction. I give her enough healing so that she can get to her feet. I grab a dress and throw it at her. “Hurry up” I say and she slips the dress over her head. “You will wait inside the mansion until I summon you.” “Who” she starts to ask but stops herself.

I step in front of her. “You will pay for your question later.” She winces at my words and I smile.

Conrad’s coven has been moved to my land and stand before me. Everyone is quiet waiting for me to speak. I can see the fear in their eyes, which is exactly what I want in this moment.

“As you all know, your coven leader is dead.” “He was weak and failed to protect you or himself.” I see them looking at each other with concern on their faces. “He promised me his daughter and he did not deliver on his promise.” “You would still be living in peace in your coven had he did what he was supposed to do.” I turn toward the door. “Come to me pet” I say and the door opens slowly. Iris comes out with her head down and stands behind me.

“Conrad gave me his beloved as a replacement for the beloved that Iris helped escape.” “She will continue to be punished until I have what I’m owed.” I hear an audible gasp travel through the crowd.

“I do not accept excuses and now that you are part of this coven, you will follow my orders or you will die just as Conrad did.” “Death will not be quick either so don’t disappoint me.” “Do you all understand?” There is silence and that just pisses me off. I turn slapping Iris across the face and knocking her to the ground. “I will ask you again, do you understand me?”

sister again.” I take a deep breath before I answer my mother. “Did she tell you why I threatened her mother?” “She did and I don’t care.” “You know your

mother, I will not threaten her but she needs to respect my rules.” “Agreed and I have told her as such.” “Then we should have no further issues.” My mother stands and comes around the desk to hug me. “Your father would be very proud of the leader and
