for a moment Eric’s eyes were unfocused and it took a second for him to interpret her words but when it finally sunk in on what she had said , he was pacing the room and shouting out orders for everyone around him to follow.
“f**k !” He roared . ” We need to act now !”
Her words gave me hope , if the spell had broken then Austin should know we’re mates by now , which meant he would come for me . Despite everything happening around me I felt glee at that thought . But the happiness immediately died down at Eric’s next words .
“Show them no mercy , kill them all .” He told his men .
The thought of any harm coming to Austin and his family sent me into panic , the anger that was growing within me intensifying further .
” You’ll never overthrow Austin , he’s too powerful , his pack would destroy yours in a second .” I shouted , my words echoing throughout the room .
Eric stiffened , turning to me with a glare . ” That’s where you’re wrong , you really think I waited patiently all these years just to fail in the end ? I’ve thought this out a million times in my head , I’ve assembled over five packs to defeat Austin , in fact all who’s held something against him in the past have teamed up with me to bring him down .”
I gasped , my body shaking in fear afraid of what was about to go down. Austin wouldn’t even see the attack coming , which meant he wouldn’t have time to prepare , no one would . I could feel my own pulse quicken at the thought of losing Austin to these heartless beasts .
“It’s going to take us almost a day to assemble all of the packs so we must leave now .” He ordered the men in the room .
“Ariana .” He called turning to his daughter . ” I thought I would have gotten the pleasure of killing Richard’s beloved daughter but I would leave the honor in your hands finish her off .”
“Yes father .”
As soon as the room emptied out Ariana turned to me . ” Scared ?” She asked .
I narrowed my eyes glaring at her .
All this time she knew Austin was my mate and she deliberately made me believe he was hers , making me leave before I could have told him about my pregnancy .
“How could you do this to Austin and his family ?” I asked in disgust .
She laughed . ” I’ve always had an obsession with Austin , he was one of the very few men who didn’t look my way no matter how hard I tried to get his attention , so when my father proposed the witch’s spell I was more than happy to go along with his plans . However , I’ve never cared for Austin or his family , they mean nothing to me In fact , I despise half of them .” She explained . ” I admit it was fun , especially when you came here Lucy . I enjoyed seeing the pain on your face each time Austin tended to me and totally forgot about you .”
” You’re just as bad as your father you both deserve death .”
She gave a fake yawn at my words . ” This conversation is getting quite boring , let’s kick it up a notch .” She said as she walked over to a table with several knives laid out on top of it . She glided her fingertips over each of them before picking out the sharpest one .
“So I heard you’re pregnant .” She announced as she took a step closer to me with the knife in her hand.” How about we get rid of the baby first .” She suggested as she grabbed onto my hair and pulled my head back roughly .
My b***d boiled at her ruthless words and never before had I ever wanted to rip someone’s throat apart .

LUCY’S POV :
I bit down hard on Ariana’s hand , before she had time to recover I pushed myself up and slammed the chair against her with so much force that she crashed against the wall , the knife from her hand flying halfway across the room .
I pushed myself backwards and crashed the chair against the wall , the wooden furniture immediately broke into tiny pieces , my eyes zeroed in on the knives on the table and I hastily gripped one and worked the knife on the rope . My hands were freed just in time to prepare for Ariana’s next advancement , catching her by surprise I grabbed one of the broken wooden pieces and smashed it against her head .
I didn’t wait for her to make any further attempts to harm me as I charged forward , tackling her as soon as she made her first attempt to get up . I grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the wall . Ariana touched her forehead in shock at the b***d trickling down her face .
“You f*****g b***h !” She screamed as she lunged for me . I dodged her attack , my outstretched foot tripping her as she fell to the ground flat on her face . She stayed there for a few seconds unmoving and when I thought she had given up the sly b***h grabbed my foot , totally surprising me . She pulled hard , causing me to lose my balance , totally shocking me she slammed her fist against my stomach and I dropped to the ground in pain . My eyes widened as I clutched my belly in fear of any harm coming to my baby .
Anger stirred in my veins , my b***d boiling as I turned to Ariana , giving her a death glare .
A strong force was growing within me and I could feel my wolf’s anger as she clawed at me to break free , she wanted to rip apart Ariana and I was going to let her . The b***h tried to hurt my baby and she was going to suffer for it .
I let out an angry cry that echoed throughout the room as I felt myself shift . Ariana followed right after , shifting into a reddish brown wolf .
My wolf watched her with angry alert eyes , as if examining her movements , waiting for her first strike . Ariana’s wolf growled and leaped forward , before she could even touch us , my wolf’s teeth came down hard on her foreleg , biting and pulling aggressively at it , the sound of bones cracking travelled throughout the room .
The wolf cried out and dropped to the floor in pain . My wolf stood tall , waiting , giving her a chance to get up and fight . After a few seconds she was on her feet again , this time limping as she growled violently at us .
Within seconds bodies were slamming against each other , teeth sinking into flesh and claws slashing against fur and flesh as we violently fought . After a few minutes of constantly going at it , both wolves stepped aside to catch their breaths , breathing heavily .
finally , as if my wolf was saying ‘ that’s it , enough playing ‘ she let out a loud menacing growl and leaped into the air taking Ariana’s wolf down with her , they both crashed into the wall , the bricks crumbling to the floor as she took her straight out into the open .
Without giving her a chance to recover from the fall , my wolf pinned her down with so much power and force that she couldn’t even move an inch . My wolf’s teeth immediately sank down deep into the wolf’s neck at the exact same time her claws dug deep into her belly , not stopping until a ripping motion sounded throughout the forest .
The wolf’s desperate cries were like music to our ear , she had determined her own fate the moment she tried to harm my baby and this was the punishment she deserved .
The wolf’s cries continued to echo throughout the quiet forest as my wolf persisted to bite and rip her apart it was only when the wolf was motionless beneath her did she stop with her merciless attack .
I released a satisfied sigh within me , one felt by my wolf as well . Ariana had inflicted so much pain upon me and finally I had gotten my revenge and it felt pretty damn good . All the pain and suffering she had put me through every God damn time I had to see her with Austin , all the pain she had me go through while making me think all this time that she was the one he wanted , that she was his mate . finally , finally I had gotten my revenge , not just for me but for both Austin and I .
The feeling was quickly replaced by panic and fear as I suddenly remembered the battle wasn’t finished yet , wasn’t even close to it . Austin , his family , his pack , they were all in danger and needed to be warned . I came to the conclusion however that even if I got there in time to let them know of Eric’s horrible plan , it still wouldn’t be enough . for Austin wouldn’t have time to assemble help from other packs , I searched my mind , desperate to find some way to save them , some way to help .
And then it dawned on me , my brothers . They were the only ones I could think off to help in a situation like this . I’ve seen them fight before , they were extremely powerful and were trained for situations such as this , from everything I’ve learnt off the council and the lives they’d lived there , they would be off great help and could be just what Austin and his pack needed to defeat Eric and ruin his devious plans .
