80 Lazarus's request

Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

- - -

When Lazarus asked what's in it for him if he helps us with awakening Duke's wolf, my stomach formed painful knots.

I knew that he wouldn't do it out of the goodness of his heart, but I still hoped that he won't take advantage of the situation. I was wrong.

A man like Lazarus doesn't need money or things that money can buy.

This was about him showing superiority and I had a feeling that this will be directed at Duke.

Werewolves keep their grudges and Lazarus never got over the fact that I am with Duke. In his mind, if not for Duke, I would be with him, and there is nothing I can do to convince him otherwise.

And there is also a matter of their fight at Luca's birthday which ended in a tie. A guy like Lazarus is used to winning, and unfortunately, so is Duke.
