Chapter 10 Kill Vincenzo

|| TERESA LAWRENCEVILLE's POV ||

" Surprise, Bitch!!"

Duncan said, pulling his lips into an evil smirk. The same smirk that he gave before killing my father. Oh, how I badly wished to bathe in his blood! But how come he was here? The letter?

Duncan's hateful voice echoed soon, sneering as he began to approach me,

" Do you think that I will forget how a slave bitch like you ruined my plan? I eventually followed you here to get you killed."

I kept my lips tight together. I wished to tell him that it wasn't him but I was dying to kill him. Letting out a peal of throaty laughter, I replied, sneering back in anger,

" What makes you think that you can kill me? Do you know the consequences of killing the queen of Lycans?"

Duncan narrowed his gaze at my comment. It was indeed a fact that Vincenzo would go crazy as hell if he laid his hands on me. I wasn't a slave anymore. I was his mate, wife, and queen altogether.

After a short while, Duncan growled his response back, wiggling his eyebrows together,

" Who will know that I killed you?"

My body felt a little shudder in fear. His actions reminded me of the night when he killed all of my family members. The memories triggered in my heart. Out of consciousness, I began to fear Duncan, forgetting the fact that I wasn't the seven years child anymore.

I blurted out, staggering my steps backward,

" Let.. let go of me..Let..me...go.."

In my head, I was the little girl again, hiding in the corners to save my life. Duncan was surprised by the sudden change in my demeanor. However, he immediately gave a bigger smile, stepping forward slowly,

" Don't worry, bitch! I will give you a painless death! I don't want to leave marks on this land. Got it?"

The panic in my heart had become evident. Suddenly I was returned to the flashback moment when I was running away from those killers. My mother stepped forward to help me, exchanging her life. The last words she breathed out before taking her last breath was ' RUN TES! RUN '.

Duncan already slipped his knife from his chest, ready to charge inside me but another shadow blocked my view. Before I had known, a black had already bit onto Duncan's hand. His howling cries buzzed across the space, snapping me back to reality. I was thrown backward as well, stupifying as I watched the whole scene in horror. The black was big, mighty, and strong, exuding a powerful, familiar aura. Even the air dropped around us significantly low of the pressure that came from the wolf.

The black wolf tried to attack Duncan again but he came well-prepared. In a blink of an eye, a big bird flew down to carry the injured Duncan. He fled in a moment with his tail between his legs.

My breath hitched to realize who it was. The black wolf transformed into a muscular man in front of his eyes. He was fully naked, panting in rage. The back tattoo on his butt confirmed more who he was.

KING NICOLAS!

I broke down into tears. Such a shame! Even though I had my mate, I felt safe around him. My heart turned warm and cozy to find him here.

What was the goddess playing with me?

I stuttered, keeping my head down as always,

" Your Highness...I..."

" DON'T FUCKING TALK!!"

King Nicolas's angry voice cut me off, his dark gaze killing me. I bet that he had never been this harsh to me before. Well, I deserved his hatred. However, my heart wrecked in pain so much that I could barely breathe.

Nicolas stormed up to me, his possessive grip holding my arms together,

" HOW DOES IT FEEL TO GET FUCKED BY THE INFAMOUS LYCAN KING? HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE HIS FUCKING MATE??"

I felt the burn in my stomach. Despite everything I did, his hatred was killing my wolf. Perhaps I was born to toss between the kings. I whispered, whimpering under his powerful clutch,

" I...I... didn't... want this...I..."

Nicolas snapped back, pushing me away with hatred,

" YET YOU CHOSE TO BETRAY ME!! YOU ARE A FUCKING LIAR!"

I blurted back, tears rolling down my cheeks,

" I DIDN'T !! It wasn't in my hands."

Nicolas ran his fingers through his hair, his voice dripping with sadness,

" I thought...I cared for you enough to let you know that I never saw you as fucking SLAVE!! A slave was just a tag to keep you by my side!! I kept protecting you all these years only to be fooled by you! HOW FUCKING FOOL KING NICOLAS IS!"

His words were cutting deep through my heart. I was aware of all the favors that he had done to me. Except for the fact that he had feelings for me. I was always scared of thinking that until he admitted it to me today.

My wolf pushed to react, my voice coming out roaring,

" I didn't betray you, King Nicolas!! I..I will be forever grateful to you and the mating was.. unexpected.."

Nicolas laughed bitterly, stomping forward to grip my chin as he said harshly,

" Loyal to me?? You want to prove your loyalty?"

I nodded my head desperately. His hatred was unbearable for me. I lowered my head to tell him between my tears,

" Yes!!! I told you already! I will be loyal to you forever!!!"

Nicolas let go of my chin for a moment, his blazing eyes were raking all over my body. After a long silence, he blurted his words out in a powerful voice,

" USE THE POISON TO KILL VINCENZO TONIGHT! IF YOU CAN'T KILL HIM TODAY, YOU ARE FUCKING COMING BACK WITH ME. REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU! NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES HE FUCK YOU, YOU WILL BE MINE FOREVER, TERESA!"
