Chapter 210 Two Hundred and Ten
Jake raised an eyebrow, and his animal was turned on by what the hottest she-wolf just said to them.
Seeing that there were no booby traps or Oleander arrows ready to be fired, Xandar, Christian, the alliance, Phelton, Dalloway, Langford and two more Lycan warnors came through. Jake glanced over each of them before his sights returned to Lucianne as he said, “Miss you? Yes. Them? Not so much.” “Because they killed your friends back in our little rendezvous in Forest Gloom? How many people did you lose that day again? Fifty?” Lucianne taunted, and was satisfied to see some of those behind Jake were exchanging fearful looks.
Jake knew it, too. “Trying to scare my people, Lucy?”
Lucianne dropped her fake smile and said, “Surrender, Jake. You and your people have nowhere to run. Give yourselves up and the law might be more lenient with this.”
Jake chuckled in dark humor and said, “I don’t surrender, sweetheart.”
Enraged growls were fired from those around Lucianne at what Jake just called her. After it died down, Lucianne said, “Poor memory you have there. Maybe Orphelia can be of more help.” Orphelia was one of Jake’s less intelligent cronies. Lucianne turned to her in mock bewilderment as she asked, “Orphelia, I forgot why Clement let Jake leave Forest Gloom instead of killing him in the challenge for the Alpha title. Do you remember why?”
“It’s because Jake sur–” Orphelia’s answer was stopped by Jake’s homicidal growl.
His eyes burnt into Lucianne’s but before he could speak, Lucianne spoke, “The rest of you behind him, you have a chance to come forward and surrender. Stand with your Alpha, and we WILL kill you. Surrender, and you’ll leave this island unharmed.” 1
Although there were arrogant chuckles after Lucianne announced the offer, there were also contemplative faces. Many of their eyes glazed over, like they were discussing amongst themselves. They lost many friends in the last battle that they were fortunate enough to not be sent to. Even the Alpha’s own sister didn’t make it. 3
Toby yelled, “Sixty seconds, people!”
Out of the hundreds behind Jake, about fifteen Lycans and ten wolves came forward. When Lucianne’s scent didn’t pick up any traces of silver or Oleander from those who were coming to their side, she gave Dalloway a nod to cuff them to suppress their abilities while his deputy and the other policemen got them out of the building.
Jake and his loyal followers growled and glared at the traitors, who chose to switch sides at the last minute. The Alpha then scowled at Lucianne and spat, “That was a mistake, Lucy!” Lucianne spat back, “The mistake was teaching Clement to spare your life if you surrendered in the Alpha challenge! The mistake was not insisting that he killed you and Ins!”
“VE ALREADY KILLED MY SISTER FOR YOU! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!”
His followers were shocked at this declaration, and many of his followers became hesitant to take his side. They thought Ins died in battle. They weren’t told that the Alpha was the one behind her death.
Alithia stared at Jake in shock and asked, “What did you just say?”
Toby yelled again, “Last chance!” Two lycans immediately came forward, and muttered Oleander blades as they walked past Toby. Jake’s jaw clenched, and his eyes watered just slightly as he told Lucianne, “If it was a mistake to ask that weakling brother of mine to keep me alive, why don’t you just kill me now?” Lucianne scoffed and asked rhetorically, “What do you think we’re here for, genius?”
“EMILIA! DODGE!” Lucianne exclaimed when she smelled another blade coming. The blade narrowly missed the Luna, and Lucianne pulled Sylvia and Emilia out of the hall before peering through the doorway.
The guys joined them. Xandar noticed her injury, and immediately placed his hand over the already-healing wound to heal it faster as he asked, “What are we looking at, Lucy?”
“Silver blades are being thrown from a higher level. But they don’t seem to be targeting me. One went for Sylvia, and another two went for Emilia.” Lucianne explained.
When Lucianne was healed, Christian and Phelton walked through the doorway. Xandar made his mate promise to stay behind with the other wolves as he went into the room to join the Duke and warrior. The wolves watched them from where they were.
Nothing seemed to be happening. The three of them stood right in the middle and looked up. There wasn’t anything or anyone. It was just a deserted second floor corridor. Tate caught up to the wolves and shifted back before Juan filled him in.
Just as the three Lycans in the room were walking back to the doorway, everyone heard growls before more rogue Lycans appeared on the second floor corridor, throwing themselves over the railing and landing perfectly on the floor where the King, Duke and deputy minister were. Lucianne immediately linked for back-up, so did the three in the room as they took on the rogues.
Lucianne watched the scene in worry, feeling utterly useless and helpless. She prayed that the three of them could hold on until the other warriors came to help. Suddenly, a blade was thrown in Xandar’s direction and it made a scratch across the length of his forearm, causing him to groan in pain.
“XANDAR!” Lucianne screamed.
