Vincent stormed his way inside, his anger boiling over. He turned to his accomplices, the snakes, and barked, "Demand answers from every damn guard! Find out what the hell they were doing while a woman was being abused!"
As he slithered through the premises, his face was filled with an icy coldness. Vincent marched directly towards Emma's room, his steps purposeful and filled with rage.
With a forceful push, Vincent swung open the door without any regard for formalities. He entered the room and surveyed the scene with a chilling gaze.
Emma was surrounded by her mates, reveling in their celebration of having gotten rid of the female they had mistreated. Oblivious to the consequences, they were engrossed in their own joy.
Without a care for the boundaries of entering someone's house without permission, Vincent callously grabbed Emma by the neck, lifting her off the ground.
"Fucking Emma, you had the audacity to kill an innocent female!" Vincent shouted, his anger escalating.
Emma's fear intensified as she glanced at her mates, who had cowardly hidden themselves out of sheer terror. They appeared too afraid to challenge Vincent, their expressions filled with fear.
"Boss... please, let Emma go. She did it because she's young and doesn't know any better," spoke the same male whom Emma had kicked off the bed That day. His name was Ray.
*Cough*
*Cough*
Emma coughed, her face turning red as she trembled. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Please, just let me be," she pleaded, her voice filled with desperation.
"You're sorry? Great, great. You nearly buried a female alive," Vincent spoke with contempt as he forcefully threw Emma to the ground, his disgust evident in his gaze.
"Don't think this matter ends here," Vincent spat as he slithered towards the healer's room.
Upon entering the outside room, he swiftly transformed into his human form. From the doorway, he observed Lucas holding the hands of a female while Healer Amos attended to her.
Vincent was taken aback, realizing that Kyra was Lucas' mate. He felt a mixture of discomfort and strangeness in that moment. However, he couldn't help but admire Kyra's bravery. Despite being a female, she risked her life to come here for her male.
'This wolf is damn lucky,' he thought to himself.
A few hours passed, and Healer Amos finished treating Kyra. He glanced at Lucas, who had tears in his eyes, and said, "Let me also treat you."
"No! I will wait for Kyra to wake up," Lucas replied, his big blue eyes never wavering from Kyra's form.
Healer Amos let out a sigh. "What if Kyra sees you in such condition when she wakes up? You have wounds on your body, wolf. Let me treat you," he insisted, and Lucas nodded, allowing the healer to tend to his injuries.
After treating Lucas, Healer Amos sighed and raised his head, only to be startled by the sight of Vincent standing outside the door. Vincent's expression was blank and confused as he observed them.
Healer Amos smiled, hoping that Vincent would come to realize his own feelings before it was too late.
"Vincent, why are you standing outside? Come inside," Healer Amos said with a sly smile.
Vincent's lips tightened and his fists clenched as he walked inside.
"How is she?" he asked the healer.
"She's fine and will wake up soon," Healer Amos replied.
Lucas buried his face in Kyra's hands, his lips trembling as he paid no attention to Vincent.
Her soft hands felt so cold against his face.As Lucas held Kyra's hands, he noticed the coldness against his cheek. It made him realize how fragile she seemed in that moment, and his heart ached with the desire for her to wake up. His silver hair shimmered in the dim light, his face was covered with scar for recent fights.
"Wake up quickly, Kyra. I'll take you away from here soon," Lucas muttered, his silver hair in disarray and his cheeks bearing scars from his battles.
Vincent stood behind them, observing them.
Upon hearing Lucas's words, his eyes became even darker, reflecting his intense emotions.
He wouldn't let her go, that much was certain.
He watched Lucas rubbing his face against Kyra's hands, biting his lips. What he felt, he couldn't describe...
These feelings were new to him, unlike anything he had experienced before.
Why was he feeling this way after only meeting a female for such a short time?
