Beloved & Mate ✔️[Fang and Canine Series Book 1]

Chapter 24

Lana's POV

Lana left Leo's soldiers behind to fight without sparing another glance in their direction.

She followed Roman's scent out of the room and down a corridor.

Lana came in front of a closed door and Roman's blood's smell was coming from behind that door.

Her eyes were red from the thought of having her mate in pain. Lana had lost control so she didn't think to wait and barged into the room.

Her eyes quickly landed onto Roman's form.

She couldn't breathe.

He was hanging from silver chains that were attached to the roof and his body was covered in wounds. All Lana could see was red as she took her mate's condition in. Rage coursed through her veins.

She had caused this. He was tortured because of her.

Her eyes left Roman's body and they focused on a silver knife held to Roman's throat. A male vampire was holding the knife to Roman's throat.

Lana growled and took a step towards Roman but Marcus' voice rose from the side.

"I wouldn't do that." Marcus warned. Lana snapped her head in his direction and saw him close the door Lana had just came in and then move beside Roman.

"If you try to get any closer, Devon will slit your beloved's throat Lanakila." Marcus said.

Lana didn't at all liked to be threatened let alone with the life of her beloved.

Lana looked at Roman as he lifted his head and looked around. His eyes locked on hers and instead of the blue she was waiting, his eyes were an alluring golden.

"Lana?" Wolf said in disbelief. His voice hoarse and barely audible. Lana's heart cracked at hearing the fragile tone of his voice.

"I'm here cara mea." Lana said and her eyes turned from red to their normal green.

Devon brought the silver knife closer to Roman's neck on the flick of Marcus's finger. Wolf hissed as the blade dug into his skin and brought out blood running down his neck.

Lana looked at Marcus with death in her eyes and asked, "What do you want?"

Marcus's lips lifted in a smile. "Well, first of all I want you to kneel." He said.

Lana looked at him but didn't reply. Marcus knew Lana would never otherwise kneel before him. But this was different. He had Lana's mate and Marcus knew he could make her do anything.

So Lana kept looking directly into Marcus's eyes as she slowly got onto her knees. First one knee, then the other.

At seeing Lanakila there, kneeling before him, Marcus started laughing. He walked over to her.

"Ah my sweet Lanakila I have been tracking you down for some time now." Marcus crouched down beside her and touched her cheek gently, lovingly. "My belle, I have forgotten how beautiful you are."

Marcus swiped Lana's hair away from her neck and leaned in. He kissed her neck while Lana unemotionally looked straight ahead.
