Lisa POV

I'm awakened in the middle of the night by the pain-filled cries of Lucious's mother. I look over, watching Lucious try to calm his mother's cries that call out to her dead mate. Her cries echo through the dark forest, causing sadness to fill the air. I've never been a witness to the pain of a lost mate.

Is this the pain and sadness mother and father felt when their bond was broken. They were separate for seventy years, living and thinking each other were now dead.

I look around seeing that all the men are now awake. I can see the sorrow in their eyes as they watch Lucious try to calm his mother. Lucious sits on the ground next to his sobbing mother, holding her close to him in a hug. "They're going to pay mother. I'm going to make them all pay." His words are laced with anger and hatred. He looks over at me, holding eye contact with me for a second before looking away as if those words were meant for me too. But I know those words aren't meant for me, but for my family.

A pain set deep within me after hearing those words come from Lucious's mouth. He's planning to do something. Something to hurt my family.

I don't want to have to choose between him or my family. He's my mate, but I don't think I could ever choose him over my family. I've just met Lucious and I don't want him to get himself killed. I know he's angry right now, but he has to let this go, because this will not end well for him.

Lucious's mother cries herself back to sleep after an hour or two. While everyone else finds their way back to sleep again, I'm left up with my thoughts. I'm unable to sleep knowing Lucious is planning to revenge his father's death.

Lucious sit there next to his mother, glaring into the flickering fire while everyone else sleeps. Me stopping him from killing those wolves, and telling him that he can't go around doing whatever he wants anymore, seemed to have left him mad with me. He didn't take a seat next to me the way he did before, and he has barely glanced over in my direction.

My beast whimper within me at the distance Lucious has now put between us. I didn't mean to upset him. I was only trying to keep him from causing problems that he will have to answer to my father for, whether he likes it or not.

I lay here on the soft grass of the forest floor, watching him as he glare into the slowly dying fire. I want to go over to him, but if he wanted me next to him then he would've taken his spot back next to me which he didn't. I let out a small sigh, slowly closing my eye to try to get some sleep.

We leave that pack's land the next morning as I told the alpha we would. Not knowing where we're heading to, I walk next to Lucious as he carries his mother. As we walk, traveling through the safe lands, I find myself staring at him, finding it hard to look away at times. He still has barely looked at me since last night, after I stopped him from killing those wolves.

Apart of me wants to apologize even though I did absolutely nothing wrong. The only thing I did was help and whether he likes it or not, what I told him was the truth. He can't go around killing and doing whatever he wants now. His father isn't king and neither are he. I won't apologize for helping to stop him from making a big mistake that he would've had to pay for. He may be my mate, but that doesn't mean he's above my father's laws.

I look away from him and fold my arms across my chest, trying to push away the urge to touch him. I have this strong need to feel those pleasurable tingles that I get when I touch his skin. BJ used to tell me about the tingles that he would get when he touched Alia. But now that I've experienced them for myself, it's more than I expected it to be.
