chapter 11

★★★ Lucian★★★

I roared as I smashed my computer with a baseball bat. Eventually, I'd smashed every single smashable things in my room. I was pissed, furious, everything anger could give. I threw my bed out of the window, breaking the wall along with it but I didn't care. My room was a complete mess, I was overreacting because it was an insult to an alpha for his mate to tell him to get lost, never see her again.

How dare she tell us that?! Stay away from her?! That's impossible!

I wish I can kill her!

Take that back Lucian! Don't say that. You can't wish to kill our mate, she's our mate!

She told us to stay away from her!

Because she's upset!

She's not the only one who's upset!

I paced around my room – my destroyed room – cursing under my breath. Stay away from my mate, that's telling my wolf to jump into a sea of hot silver. I pulled my hair, groaning as my wolf paced around in my head.

'Ahem, Alpha,' Andre called nervously, standing in front of my ripped out door. I snapped my head to him and snarled. He jumped back with fright. 'Th...t...t...t...'

'Speak!'

'The elder wolves are here, to talk about...' He rolled his eyes around the room. 'Well, this. To talk about your recent tantrum...'

'You call my anger a tantrum!!!' I roared. He bowed in submission. He wasn't the source of my problem, I shouldn't hurt him. 'Just get out!' He ran immediately. I ran to the wall and bashed my head against it.

'Keep doing that and you'll bleed,' I turned my head and snarled at her too. 'Oh keep those stupid teeth to yourself,' she said with an eye roll. I huffed. 'Look what you did to your room, the room I spent ten hours decorating. Really cuz?'

'Robecca, what do you want?' I snapped.

'I don't know, my cousin returned two weeks ago and have been acting erratic. You killed your choice mate, Jastun, Zoe is still suffering from the lost of her eye, geisha – even though I never liked her – can't walk, all because they disobeyed you and hurt your prisoner. I understand Rick loves the girl and want her to be happy and you'll do everything to make him happy but I also know you Lucian, you did what you did not because Rick said to.'

'What makes you think that?'

'I don't know, the fact that you killed Jastun when you left her ward in anger, destroyed half of the second manor, destroyed your room and punched the weapon storeroom to the ground. What else? Anyone who talks to you never leaves without a mark. Take a look at my husband who just left here, he was almost pissing his pants with fear.'

'Your point?' I growled impatiently.

'She's your mate, isn't she?'

'No.' I deadpanned.

'Oh cousin, dear dear cousin, do I look stupid?'

'Not now Becca, please leave me be.'

'Well, I guess you won't care if I tell you I just walked pass her,' I kept my face plain. 'One of the high guard was trying to woo her, his hand on her ass...' I kept the snarl and growl inside my throat, she's baiting me.

'And...?' I asked mirthlessly.

'Humph, you don't care?' She asked puzzledly.

'No.'

'Then why are you so angry? Why the temper and smashing?'

'I made a promise to Rick, to keep her out of harm because she saved them but I also got to know that she is the only daughter of the ruler of her kind. I am harboring that bitch and I can't wring her neck!'

'Have you thought about forgetting Rick for a second?'

'No, never. I can't hurt her.'

'If you can't hurt her, then make her miserable emotionally.'

'How am I suppose to do that!' I exclaimed, throwing my hands into the air.

'She's your mate, think it through.'

'She's not my mate.' I growled.

'You could have fooled me,' she smirked. 'Your secret is safe with me.'

'Get out.'

'Yeah, yeah, you don't need the girl's help. But do remember that rejection is a thing and she can do that.'

'If she doesn't kill herself first,' I muttered. She chuckled.

'You are Alpha Lucian Kane, what happened to your fast working brain? I'm sure you can think of something.' She winked at me before strolling out.

She's right, we need to think of something that won't make her kill herself.

But what?
