Chapter 66
I stared at her, already regretting asking. “What?”
“Lucas floored him. With one hit. Bam. He was out cold, right in front of everyone.” She clapped her hands dramatically. “Marcus never talked back again. To anyone.”
Asher smirked faintly. “That’s true. I was there.”
I blinked rapidly, my mouth suddenly dry.
“And,” Jasmine added, eyes gleaming mischievously, “didn’t Lucas once break a guy’s nose just for smirking at him?”
“That,” Asher nodded, “was during an official sparring match. And to be fair, the guy was provoking him.”
“It still happened,” Jasmine continued.
I buried my face in my hands. “Oh my god. I’m going to die.”
“Probably,” Jasmine said cheerfully, patting my knee.
I lifted my head to glare at her. “You’re supposed to reassure me!”
Jasmine grinned, clearly enjoying my misery. “Do you know he once made an entire squad run several laps until the majority of them passed out? And when one guy threw up on the training ground, Lucas didn’t even blink. He just ordered him to keep going.”
My mouth fell open. “That’s not training. That’s torture!”
Jasmine nodded eagerly. “Exactly. And guess who’s next?”
I pointed at myself with both hands. “Me. Obviously. Fantastic. This is exactly how I wanted to die.” My voice dripped with sarcasm.
Jasmine was clearly enjoying this too much. “Oh, I’m not done. Someone told me he broke a guy’s arm once because he said the warrior was getting sloppy.”
I stared at her. “…Please tell me that’s a lie.”
Asher shifted uncomfortably. “It wasn’t intentional. He pushed the warrior hard, but the guy lost focus. Lucas doesn’t tolerate carelessness.”
I narrowed my eyes. “And that’s supposed to make me feel better?”
“Not really,” Asher admitted with a small shrug.
I groaned loudly, running my hand over my face. “This is actual hell.”
Jasmine giggled. “Don’t be so dramatic. It’ll be fun.”
“Fun?” I shot her a deadpan look. “Your definition of fun includes torture and broken bones?”
“Sometimes.” She grinned, completely serious.

I rolled my eyes.
“Look,” Asher said smoothly. “Lucas may be harsh, but he’ll make sure you learn. Besides, he won’t kill you. Rowan would never allow it. Lucas will just make you wish you were dead.”
I groaned. “That’s not better!”
Jasmine dissolved into laughter, and I glared at her. It didn’t even faze her one bit.
Jasmine gasped again, like she had just remembered something. “Oh! Did you know he trained once with warriors from a rival pack? Rumor has it that none of them wanted to come back the next day. They said he didn’t just push them, he broke them.”
“Perfect,” I muttered. “So I’ll last about two minutes before I’m crawling with broken limbs on the ground?”
“One, if you’re lucky,” Jasmine teased.
I threw a pillow at her. She dodged easily, cackling.
Asher gave her a long-suffering look. “Stop scaring her.”
“I’m not scaring her,” Jasmine protested. “I’m preparing her.”
I glared. “Yeah, thanks for all the nightmares I’m going to have tonight.”
Jasmine leaned back on her elbows, smirking. “Nightmares are nothing compared to Lucas at six in the morning.”
