Chapter 79

• Lucas
• Leaving Miatta behind in that cell felt like I had chopped off an arm. It hurt like hell and my wolf rebelled against my decision, nipping at me with every opportunity it got. The organ under my pelt had remained angrily erect, making my walking quite burdensome. Mate, my wolf wept endlessly, willing me to return to that cell and claim our mate. I wanted to with every living fibre in my body but I didn't want to copulate with my mate because she was in heat and could not resist me. I wanted a cooperative Miatta, one who would give herself to me because she needed me as much as I needed her. I craved her submission as well as her permission to explore the lovely secrets of her maddening body. Kisses would never be enough to satiate me or my wolf. I discarded my disguise having exposed myself to her and thus, it didn't seem necessary to me anymore to conceal my identity. The lycan warriors bowed low in respect as I walked past, acknowledging my royal heritage.
• My strides came to a slow stop when I overheard my father and Beta Logan speaking. The sly beta must have returned after I had gone, probably with news for my father. I could go in, of course, or I could stand at a distance and eavesdrop. I chose the second alternative, leaning against the walls. The guards had been dismissed and so, there was no one to discover my hiding spot.
