CHAPTER 51: HE DIDN’T THINK THIS THROUGH

"Don’t even think about it" Victor smiled.

He came for Conrad, we didn’t think he would especially me because he never came when Conrad took me, he didn’t even bother to come see my face for once, and I was so damn confident that he would not be here.

"Where is my cousin?" Victor asked.

How did we get here?.

"I don’t know." I breathed out, I glanced around and my eyes met Aria, and two more guards who were tied toward the end of the room.

"You know little Olivia, I can see it in your eyes, God he is right, you are horrible when it comes to lying." Victor smiled and I felt a wave of disgust wash over me.

"We killed him." I lied, my breath hitches when he pulled my hair and his eyes met mine, in his way he just told me I better be joking.

"I hope not, if he dies, so do you, so do the rest of the house and I have better plans for you, I am going to make you my wife, I was going to keep you in my house with me, force you to have my kid, what better way to make your Alpha go crazy than knowing his own and only mate is with someone else, when I sleep with you, he will feel it but now I think that’s not going to happen." He yelled.

My eyes filled with tears as I looked away.

I watched as he headed to the other side of the room to speak to one of the people he came with.

It all started when we heard that gunshot, Luca forced me inside my room and told me not to leave, yes I am mad at him and yes I hate him for what he has done and that is no way I will forgive him yet I found myself listening to him.

I can’t come out I told myself, I didn’t even know how to fight, I can’t defend myself even if I tried but all I could hear was growl and gunshot until I saw Aria walking into my room, the door was never locked, I forgot.

How could I be stupid? But when I saw her covered in blood, I realized I had to help her, she didn’t deserve to be a part of this.

Helping her to take care of the wounds, I became distracted and Victor announced his presence, he felt so much happiness when he found me with no safety.

In the fucking bedroom, Aria and on the bed, she was barely awake and the two guards that came to aid me were barely breathing, and here is Victor.

I haven’t seen Luca, maybe he didn’t know what I am going through, I know he won’t let me die because of his dumb curse, and maybe that’s a good thing right now because Aria is bleeding to death, I was never able to finish tending to her wounds.

"You need to let us go, Victor, Luca would soon be here soon."

"He is busy," Victor yelled, I could hear the gunshots, he didn’t come alone, he came prepared and it didn’t seem like the only reason he came was for Conrad, I just didn’t buy it, I didn’t want to believe the fact that this man over here cared for someone else.

He has been using Conrad as a cover-up, as a bait and Conrad is too stupid to even realize what is happening.

"What do you think is going to happen when your precious Luca gets here, I am not like my cousin, I don’t care for you and I will not hesitate to slit your throat."

"Is he aware of the plan you made, is he okay with the fact that you want to sleep with me and force me to become your wife, I have a feeling he is not." I breathed out.

Months ago I didn’t have this much confidence and now I do, no matter how scared I am, I wanted to speak this time, he can’t silence me.

My eyes glanced across the place and he moved toward me: he settled on the bed, not even sparing Aria a glance, I don’t think she is going to make it.

She is barely speaking, she is barely moving and the blood oozes out of her, it terrified me.

"He will be fine, your Conrad would pick money over you, as pathetic as it sounds and Alpha Luca, if he finds another way to break his curse, if he finds another way to bring an end to his nightmare, believe he will not care for you, he will sacrifice you just like he did to his parents," Victor spoke and my eyes widened.

My eyes filled with tears when I looked away from him and he harshly placed his hand on my face, forcing me to look at him

"Now imagine a sane person doing that to his parents, the people that loved and cared for him, to his mother who could have died in the delivery room giving birth to someone like him and to his father, without him he would not have all that he has, he would not be the Alpha, he would be all alone and maybe on the streets". Victor spoke and my heart skipped a beat.

Is this why he didn’t like to talk about it, it felt like I didn’t even know who Luca was, it’s like he is the monster they all said he is, no matter how much he tried, he is horrible, no matter what he did, not many would want to ever cross paths with him.

"Now sit tight and let it unfold, I will find your Luca and I will bring him to his knees and Conrad is gone, so is your precious sister, she should be dead soon, she is barely breathing." He said and I begged with my eyes.

Aria didn’t deserve this, she should not be here.

I didn’t speak and neither did he when we heard a growl, it’s a powerful growl; it was like the one that I heard the first time I spent a night here.

It felt like it was him, I didn’t even have to say it, it’s him, he is letting his wolf take control, I know he is only doing it to make sure I am safe.

"Run Victor." I breathed out.

My eyes met his and my eyes filled with tears, I had a smile on my face when he stared at me.

"What are you talking about whore?." He yelled, and I didn’t speak, the only thing I did was smile until he placed his hand on my hair and he dared to push me against the wall.

"You hear that Victor, that’s not Luca, that’s his wolf; he is not going to listen to you or me, he would not even know right or wrong, you think that you can manipulate him into thinking that you would hurt me, he would not care because this Luca is different, he is a monster; the one you have been told about, hear that growl, he will kill you." I smiled

Maybe I did, the wolf would even do better at protecting me but he will make decisions that Luca would not, he may use me as bait but right now, all I wanted to do is be safe and I needed Aria to be safe too.

"He won’t." Victor smiled and the growl got closer, in a second, I saw a shadow, of him, the two guards headed toward him, and before we could realize what was happening. They were on the ground.

"I am telling you, Victor, you have a chance right now, you can jump out of the window, your two little puppets can’t even do anything, they will be gone, they are not up to anything and before you tell anyone to come up here and help you, you will be dead." I breathed out and he grabbed a handful of my hair.

I didn’t scream, I didn’t yell, the pain was felt by Luca when he moved his head too and Victor’s eyes met mine.

Luca moved closer, I could see the image of him in the eyes of his wolf.

"Don’t even think about it, I have the knife, and I am not scared to use it and last I heard, you feel what she feels," Victor said and Luca stared at him.

He meant it when he said he is not like Conrad because he is not scared to use the knife on me and I am not scared because Luca would help.

His wolf felt the pain but he is stronger, he didn’t care, he was still moving closer and Victor didn’t have any plans to, he pressed the knife against my neck, and in a second.

I heard a growl, I pushed Victor to the ground and Luca got on him, I was able to get Aria out of bed as I watched them. I need to get her to safety and I have a feeling Victor is not going to make it.

He didn’t think this through, he just came to our home without a plan.

—-

I got Aria into one of the rooms with the help of Ares, he assured me she would be fine, and by the time I didn’t hear a single noise, I realized it was all over.

We are saved
