Chapter 13
Lucy POV
I had around two hours before the sun went down as I gathered firewood. I hadn’t seen Rayan in
days. After killing the rabbit, my bloodlust had become out of control and I was desperate for blood but
also too scared to leave the river for fear of attacking someone. Ravenous wasn’t even a strong
enough word for how I felt I was on edge, like a drug addict going through withdrawal. I was also
becoming increasingly weaker and after having blood daily, to suddenly go cold turkey it was
unbearable. I grew weak quickly, just looking for firewood was taking a toll on me and I grew tired fast. I
never realised what an impact going without blood was like.
Giving up, I sit against a tree leaning heavily against it. I close my eyes trying to catch my breath
when I pick up a scent. The scent was filling my nostrils and a growl tears from my lips, the noise
startling me as I looked around for what created the scent. I notice movement out of the corner of my
eyes before seeing something dart between two trees, my eyes picking up the movement as I watch
the rabbit scurry away. I feel my fangs protrude, sleeping from my gums slowly and painfully. My mouth
is completely dry and I crawl to my hands and knees.
I suddenly get a burst of adrenaline fuelled by my hunger and dart after it. Moving quicker than I
had in days as I snagged it in my grip. I sank my fangs into not even paying attention to where I bit it as © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
it shrieked and thrashed before I realised I sank my teeth into its side. My canines ripping it to pieces
as I kept trying to drain it, my senses taking over telling me to feed but not biting successfully into any
artery instead just bleeding it out as I tore it apart. I lick my fingers a moan escaping my lips when I
hear a twig snap. I pivot spinning around a growl tearing from my lips. It was animalistic and guttural as
I saw two Black wolves step into my path.
One of them whines but all I could think about was the intoxicating aroma coming from them, hear
the blood pulsing through their veins and I lunge at one. I needed blood, that all I could think about as
hunger enveloped me. I hear snapping at the same time I lunge at the one closest to me, the wolf
stepping out of my way and off to the side when I feel something grab me. I thrash before the scent
becomes so strong and I turn biting into soft flesh. A moan escapes my lips as its blood floods into my
mouth when I feel myself ripped away from them. Hands grabbing my arms, yanking me away and I
growl before coming face to face with Ace. Seeing him stunned me and I realised why the scent was
familiar and intoxicating. Looking over my shoulder I realised I bit Tyson, blood running down his arm
from his bicep.
I attacked him. “Lucy” Ace’s voice says before I look back at him, yet the hunger doesn’t leave,
only gets worse knowing I was drinking their blood.
“Lucy wait” Ace says his gripping getting tighter when I moisture touch my lips Tyson scent wafting
to my nose and I grab his wrist that was pressed to my lips, I sink my fangs into him but he doesn’t pull
away instead pulling me against him and Ace lets me go before I find myself sitting in his lap as he
leans against a tree.
“Drink love” Tyson says, yet I don’t think I could stop even if I wanted to, I could feel his blood
getting weaker as he did when Ace suddenly bites his wrist before kneeling in front of me. I let Tyson’s
go grabbing his and Tyson pushes me forward into Ace who grabs me pulling me closer. My hunger
finally calms down as I lean on Ace, his body warm and I feel myself relax against him. My fangs pull
out of his wrist and I see Tyson leaning against the tree across from us watching me, his breathing
hard.
“How long did you go without blood?” Ace asks.
“I just had a rabbit,” I tell him.
“No, I mean a blood bag Lucy”
“Since the boarding school” I tell them before I feel him brush my hair out of my face before tilting
my face toward his.
He presses his forehead against mine. “Why didn’t you come home, we would have taken care of
you, instead we found out from Rayan, you have been staying out here” Ace says looking around as a
growl escapes him.
Panic courses through me, does that mean mum knows. “Does mum know, did you tell her?” I ask
worried she would become angrier. Tyson shakes his head.
“No, but you are coming home with us, Lucy. You can’t stay here” Tyson says standing up when I
realise he is naked. My eyes trail down his muscular body before I tear my eyes away from him, my
face heating when I realise I am sitting on Ace who is also naked. I jumped up, moving off him.
“Please shift” I tell them, realising what an awkward scenario this was. But also realising I was
checking them out, I shouldn’t be thinking this way about them, let alone checking them out, they
helped raise me.
“You’re coming home with us Lucy” Ace tells me before gripping my elbow.
“Ok but shift please” I tell him and he sighs but I hear his bones snapping before feeling fur brush
my hand. I look beside me to see Atticus standing beside me. I brush his fur and he purrs rubbing his
body against me. Tyson also shifts, the sun was nearly set and about half an hour it would be dark.
Atticus nudges me and I shake my head.
“I’m not a little girl anymore” I tell him as he tries to get me to climb on him. He jumps up putting his
paws on my shoulders before licking my face. “Down” I tell him and he growls but gets down. Tyrant
brushing against the back of my legs.
“I don’t need you to carry me, I can keep up” I tell them and Tyrant whines before darting off.
Atticus nudged me, wanting me to follow Tyson’s wolf. I roll my eyes before chasing after him. Atticus
fell in line with me and remained with me until we hit a dirt road that joined onto the driveway leading
home. I see Tyson’s mustang come into my vision before seeing him pull some shorts on, while
standing next to his car. I slow down, eventually coming to a stop next to him.
“Come on, we should get back,” Tyson tells me, opening the back door.
Ace comes over as I climb in the back grabbing the door as I go to close it.
“When we get home, we have something to tell you” He says before reaching down and cupping
my cheek in his hand, I close my eyes, sparks rushing over my face and I lean into his touch, his hand
warm as he brushes his thumb over my cheek.
