Chapter 166 Plata O Plomo
Satomi's face trembled as this choice would forever change the fate of her pack. She gazed with sorrow at them and could see the fighting spirit within them.
Unfortunately, she knew that just fighting spirit would not suffice against a true monster.
A voice kept telling her that she must fight to the end, but she eventually calmed down. Satomi glared at Lucas with hate in her eyes, and swore that this would not be the end of it.
Then her head bowed down, "We…we submit…"
Those words took every fiber of her body, and she didn't even dare to glance at him in fear he would see her face.
"Noo! Satomi! We can fight!" Some of the pack members were outraged, but some could be seen relieved.
Lucas' red eyes slowly vanished and it only took one normal glance from him to make the pack members silent.
He then let go of Satomi's arm and glanced at her in satisfaction. "You will one day be glad of this decision."
Even though she tried to hide it Lucas still saw the hatred in her eyes, but he didn't want to think about this too much as a deep dark part of him hoped that she would rebel.
She didn't know why but Satomi suddenly felt a chill, his eyes gazed at her as if he knew all she was thinking about.
Lucas just smiled and his previous terrifying presence vanished. "Now…who wants pizza?"
Satomi stared in disbelief at him, she expected everything but this.
Brett and the other members looked at each other in dismay, the man who was a monster in their eyes just disappeared and acted like a friendly neighbor.
Suddenly a voice came from the back breaking the deadlock, it was Malia. "I do!" She raised her hand excitedly at the mention of food.
••••
One hour later everyone was sitting by the fire, Satomi sat close to Lucas, and Brett was not far away keeping his eyes constantly on him.
A car suddenly drove closely, then Allison and Lydia came out with boxes of pizza.
They glanced at the crowd of werewolves weirdly then at each other, they knew Lucas' purpose, but they didn't expect that he would succeed without a fight.
Lydia with Allison behind her, carried the pizza to a nearby wooden table and glanced at Lucas with an annoyed expression. "You know that we aren't delivery people, right?"
Lucas ignored her and glanced at Allison then he patted the tree bench next to him. She smiled and took a seat then kissed him on the cheek.
"How was school?" He grabbed a slice of pizza from her and asked while he was savoring the delicious mozzarella.
"Nothing much, just us wondering why the school didn't throw you out yet." His absences were practically known to everyone, she wouldn't be surprised if even the principal was aware.
His eyes smiled as he finished the slice of pizza before answering, then he looked at Satomi's pack and saw no one eating. "Let's not waste food, alright?"
They looked at each other as if they had been kidnapped by him, then they each started eating reluctantly.
He didn't mind their attitude and turned his attention back on Allison. "Why would they do that? I'm a model student."
Allison gazed at him suspiciously, she had only seen this much confidence from him when he was certain.
"Did you…threaten the principal?"
Lucas then felt everyone's eyes on him, he felt like he was now an open-air actor doing a play to entertain them. "Do you really think that I'm capable of such a thing?"
His face then darkened as he saw not only Allison nodding, but also Malia and Lydia, and practically everyone else.
Satomi looked at this sight with mixed feelings, she saw just some teenagers joking and having fun with each other.
She saw Lucas' genuine happy expression, but then why would such a person suddenly transform into a monster, and why did he crave so much power?
Satomi glanced at the pizza in her hand with a troubled look, on it she saw various toppings, all hiding a different flavor.
She then raised her head and spoke, interrupting their conversation. "Can you tell me now why you would need to make us submit to you?"
This sudden question made the joyous mood slowly fade, and all her pack members stared nervously at Lucas.
Waiting for the answer that could possibly alter their lives forever. Out of all of them, Malia was the only one who could still eat food as if nothing had happened around her.
Lucas glanced at everyone's nervous expressions and smiled.
