When they met, she had introduced herself as Isabella Wilson of the crimson pack but he didn't introduce himself by his last name.
Why? He didn't even tell her the pack he came from. He deliberately hid the truth because he might feel she wouldn't accept him for being Lukas Briston's son.
And that's exactly what would have happened. No matter how much she longed to meet her mate, if she had known he was a son to her father's enemy, she wouldn't have accepted him.
Lukas Briston is not just an enemy to her father, but to her as well. Why did he keep such important information from her?
She wished she could see him now and scold him. She would even contemplate on rejecting him as her mate.
How can someone become so mean to hurt his own son because he intends to achieve a selfish goal?She tried mind-linking with her parents, so they could locate her but everything was blank. She couldn't get linked and somehow she felt the poison was really acting on her.Perhaps what the man Richard said was true. Could the chains be truly poisoned? He was Killing her wolf and she could feel that her wolf was getting weaker and weaker indeed.But how can she not struggle to get loose from the chains, her hands were suspended over her head and her feet at a spot.Lukas Briston was being deliberate about poisoning the chains and embedded it with needles. He wants to kill her wolf and render her powerles
Next morning, Brenda Briston sent for the guard she had assigned to find out what was actually wrong with her son.Lukas had gone for his usual training with other warriors. That morning, he seemed not to be interested in seeing Isabella.The guard informed Brenda that the Alpha had captured Isabella using Derick as the bait. He intends to kill her and she has been starving and heavily poisoned.If nothing is done quickly, the Lycan queen would fall at the subtle hands of Lukas Briston and he would proclaim himself the new Lycan Alpha.As for Derick, there seemed to be a foul play. The alpha and the healer had a secret talk last night.T
Before evening that day, the guard assigned by Brenda Briston got a solution to the prince illness. He secretly let the queen know that they are on the path to achieving their aim.Brenda Briston was happy. Her son would be back on his feet again. She looked forward to when she would administer the prepared herbs and mixture on him.She told the guard to stand by, she would call him if need be. In the meantime, she had erected a wall to block Lukas Briston from her thoughts.If perhaps, he decided to remove the embargo on his side, he still wouldn't be able to access her thoughts nor mind-link to read her thoughts or know what was going on in her mind.&
The alpha has ordered him to ensure that the prince wakes up the next morning. On arriving at his chambers to do his work, the royal mother gave him another directive.What kind of situation was this? The orders of the Alpha must be followed and the wishes of the royal mother must not be contradicted."I have been ordered by the alpha to watch over him till dawn your royal majesty" the healer replied.This is what it means with the phrase 'between the rock and a hard place'. He has to follow one order and despise the other." Haven't you been watching over him for several days? What is wrong if a desperate mother chooses to watch over her sick son?
No one restricted him or ask him any questions. They have heard that the prince had been ill for days and now seeing him walking briskly as if he was not the one who just recovered, they didn't dare to stop him.Richard had sneaked in to check on Isabella and brought a small medicine in a bottle, the antidote he obtained.He had spent two nights, while others were sleeping, working with the medicine man to produce that antidote.But when he arrived that evening, he saw that the princess had fainted. Her head was bowed, dangling and her body was weak.He got closer and examine her. She's not dead as his first Intuition made him feared, but only fainted.&n
Lukas Briston stepped out of his chambers and saw his bodyguards standing at it's entrance. He frowned and glared at them.They all bowed and bent their necks for submission. This news could cost them their lives." What's the matter?" Lukas asked, seeing how the men were fidgeting and seemed to aviod his gaze." It's the prince, he has…" one of the men was replying when Lukas interrupted him. " The prince is fine right?" He asked.He presume the men had come to inform him that the prince had awaken to consciousness.It is news to them, but to him, it is what he already expect to happen. He had informed the healer to reverse what
The two bodyguards followed behind the messenger. They stood before Lukas with their heads bowed.They can predict that their punishment, is something inevitable. Lukas Briston is not someone who overlook an offence.Lukas frowned and stared at the men who bowed and bent a knee before him. They are the guards in the dungeon." Where is the so called Lycan queen?" Lukas Briston demanded. He had asked that the girl be brought before him and not for the guards to bring their faces to him instead."The prisoner had disappeared, your lordship. This morning, we can't explain how it happened, but we discovered that the…" the senior among the guards was trying to explain further when Lukas growled lou
Lukas glared at them with a growl, feeling like he should hold them by the throat and strangulate them."Where is the prince?" Lukas howl. It is evidently visible to everyone present that he was at the height of anger." We tried to stop him and overpowered him but we couldn't. We suffered casualties and few of our men are dead already while he escaped with a certain girl.." The chief among the wolves was explaining when Lukas thundered."Fools, incompetent fools. You all couldn't withstand a single person and yet you see yourselves as warriors?And you didn't alert me about the whole incident so we could stop him on time. You failed in your responsibility and I will see that you get punished for it.
