Chapter 9 Luka's POV

There's something haunting about a body touched by magic. Most people can first notice the smell: not the smell of rotting flesh but the cloying sweetness in their noses and a sharp taste on their tongues.

Rare individuals like witches have a distinct smell that any werewolf can scent. Yet this assassin is a bit different.

He can't smell the sweetness but the natural smell of water drops was there. How come she doesn't smell magic? She smelled pure.

He wasn't expecting that kind of smell from her. The pureness that made his wolf snarled from within.

His wolf moves forward urging Lukas to put his nose close to her neck but he fought himself. It wasn't his job to sniff around and damn his wolf for making him frustrated.

If he could only kill this witch-

"Don't you dare Lukas," my eyes narrowed as I heard Edward whispered beside me.

"You might be my king, but harming one member of my family won't stop me from smacking your head," Edward muttered not even looking at me and that made me grin.

"Why would I harm your family Edward?"

"I've known her since she was just a child. She hates our kind and her hate for us made her strong. She might have the courage to talk back but deep down, she's pure. We killed her family Lukas and we should understand why she despises our presence." His eyes moved towards the witch and Lukas can see her figure walking while observing the nature.

"I can't smell the witch's magic on her Edward. And do you know what I hate most? It's the idea that someone is lying and making me a fool." Lukas's wolf growled in agreement and he scented the submission on Edward's form.

"Victoria was a child when she lost her family so she wasn't able to practiced magic my king."

"Then I hope you are stating the truth." Lukas stared at Victoria's back as she walked her way in the forest. Her steps are confident and wide, with a gentle sway of her hips that he's sure she doesn't even notice.

Beneath the ice-cold exterior, there's a feminine side she crashed and burned before it was able to blossom.

But it's not completely dead. Not even close.

Lukas's lips twitch at the prospect of thrusting himself into her and exploiting those hidden parts of her. He wanted to know if her skin was cold or warm to touch.

His gaze follows her all the way to the end of the forest and he can see that she is making sure that there won't be any danger.

While Lukas's mind warned him that he hates witches.

But she'll be an exception for his rule, he pointed out.

Lukas's hides his smile knowing that she thinks she can go to war with him, but what she doesn't know is that the war already started a long time ago. Her cards were already dealt, and all she can do is play her role as previously planned.

It would be a shame to see her eyes shed tears, but what's victory without sacrifices, huh?

Still...he rubs his thumb against his forefinger and imagined the feel of her skin against his. He imagined her with a soft skin, like untarnished silk, and knowing that she's a trained warrior excites him to the core.

It could be his depraved nature or the simple fact that he always liked breaking things ruining them, and then watching them shatter in the wake of their destruction.

He likes how people become raw in the state of destruction as they would show their truest, most hidden tendencies.

She shouldn't expect that after insulting him she can get away without being punished by him, would she?

I would love to chase her for her total submission.

Victoria will join the list as his latest acquisition. Sure, it won't be easy considering the way she stabbed him with her covered eyes, as if that's her favorite sport.

And damn! He wanted to unfold the covers and stare at her eyes, but what color could it be?

She's a mystery and there's something within him urging him to unfold her secrets.

His dick strains against his trousers as he recalls the sound of her pulse and the disobedience in her voice.

He didn't expect that he would feel this kind of desire for a woman other than his true mate. Desire that he would be more than happy to explore.

Then something hit him, a question that made his wolf restless.

How would her blood taste?

His tongue wanted to taste the sweetness and it landed on his lower lip.

"We are outside the forest so we can camp first here and tomorrow we can start travelling again towards north." Victoria coldly murmured and Lukas can feel his dick throbbed.

"We will camp here," Edward said.

"Now leave us," Lukas added and Victoria raises her left eyebrow, a way to question his words so he smirks at her.

"Find food, and something to set fire-"

"I'll come with them-"

"So, you expect to leave your king alone witch?" Lukas taunted and disbelief is well written along Victoria's face but Edward chooses to speak to stop her from disobeying.

"Just stay here Tori, it would be dangerous to leave our king alone." Lukas can see that the woman is about to yell but she chooses to stay silent knowing that she won't win.

"Stay safe," she said in agreement and Lukas heard Edward's and his warriors' footsteps moving away.

So now, Lukas was left alone with Victoria who grits her teeth in anger.

And this is the taste of victory, Lukas thought while grinning from ear to ear.

"You hated me so much? You despise the idea of being left alone with me...so why is that little witch? Why do you hate your king?" Lukas stared at her covered eyes while his hands are itching to take the fabric away.

"Why asked when you knew the reason."

"So, what should I do so I can take away the flame from within you Victoria?" His satin like voice came out to seduce her and for a second, her mouth formed an 'o' in disbelief but not long, she pressed her delectable lips together again.

"You wish!" She said venomously and wanted to move away from him but his instincts kicked in. He wrapped an arm around her waist and with his speed he was able to press her back against the tree.

Her mouth opened and gasps and he used it as his first opportunity to kiss her. He slammed his lips to hers. Their lips touched and instantly fire spreads through his veins.

She groaned in the back of her throat. The sound was not soft but damn sexy, he gripped her waist harder than he intended. He ached to be inside her, feeling her pussy stretch around his cock.

She can feel her protesting at first, but the moment he moves his mouth against her own made her still as a rock.

He darted his tongue out and licked her upper lip, then feasted on her lower one. She tastes like addiction and bad decisions, and yet he would still come back for a hit every day.

Victoria places a hand on his chest, letting out a protest, but he uses the chance to plunge his tongue inside her mouth. Her arguments turn into a moan when he twirled his tongue against hers.

Her eyes widen at the sounds coming from her, and he wish he could freeze this moment in time so he could revisit it every day.

Who knew that this woman taste divine. Her mouth is warm that made my wolf howl deliciously.

Lukas won't release her; he rocked his cock into her.

The desperation of his hard and throbbing length got no relief from a while ago. Desire twined knots in his spine, down to his balls.

He cupped her breasts over her assassin's suit, squeezing her tits and licking at her exposed flesh, but suddenly he felt a powerful impact on his cock making him groaned painfully as he kneels down on the ground.

When Lukas raised his eyes, he can see Victoria gritted her teeth in anger and displeasure.

"How dare you!" Victoria angrily spat.

Lukas can hear his wolf growling inside his head.

His wolf is not happy, the fact that he stopped from tasting her made his wolf frustrated.

He can't understand why he was acting like that. Of all the women he had encountered, she is different even his wolf is uncontrollable.

He can feel that his iris changes its colors.

Oh, how dare her!
