Aimee's POVAll that happened so fast that I was not given the opportunity to even call out to him. The words got stuck in my throat as I watched them drive the sword into him, making sure the tip of the blade came forth from his stomach.Lucien flew his hand to the stomach as he paused. His eyes locked on mine for only a minute before he dropped to the ground and Alec took the head of the dark force that did that to Lucien. I was rooted to where I stood, unable to move.Everything happening around me felt like it was being slowed down and I could barely hear or concentrate. My soul felt like it was being crushed. Lucien stood in all fours, then placed his hand on the injured part of his stomach.His face was very red, with his veins popping out at both sides of his head. He clenched his teeth together. My heart rate accelerated just looking at him. I wanted to move. I tried to move but it felt like I was no longer in control of my own body.There was fire, chaos, blood stains, and de

Lucien's POV The moment that sword went through me, I lost every bit of strength I had. I knew the sword was not an ordinary sword. It was laced in wolf's bane. If it were ordinary swords, I would have been able to get back to my feet, but with the wolf's bane, it paralyzed me. I tried to get back on my feet and fight but I knocked to the ground. I tried to fight it and get back up but my body shook with my pain replaying in my mind again. I pushed it aside but still, I could not. No matter how much I tried to fight this, it felt like I was only pulling myself down. I could sense that we were losing. My people needed me. They needed their alpha.

It was dangerous for us, as that was our vantage point. Something was not right in this attack. I had so many questions as to how the dark Lo

Lucien's POV I knew she was scared for our well-being. I too was scared as to what might be waiting for us when he got close to the pack. With each step we took, I could feel the dark aura of the dark forces all around the forest.It was thanks to the moon goddess that it did not spread to where we were able to camp. I knew what we were about to do was risky and we could not bring everyone with us so we did not gather much attention from anyone if any attack ensued, it meant we would not be able to protect ourselves very well.We walked a distance before we finally decided to stop. Our present location was at the peak of the aura of the dark forces. The aura was sucking up most of our energy. We had not worked for a while but it felt like we did and that was not good.So this was the plan. This was a way to weaken us so we would not be able to attack and defeat them. The dark Lord knows that he is no match for us. Our wolves were strong and with just a single bite they would die. Th
