Chapter 130: The fate of the dark moon cannot be broken…
Kurtis POV
I and Lucius were alike in so many ways except he was a die-hard loyalist.
Anyone who will not think twice before risking their life for someone is the most extreme person I’ve ever met. Ordinarily, I knew the Beta bond is as strong as the mate’s bond but not to the extent where you lose every reasoning. Lucius hated me because he felt I was selfish. He didn’t have to tell me, it shows in everything he does, in the way he ignores me whenever I’m around Xavier.
He’s not the kind of person to interfere in people’s business with or without evidence. His conservative nature would rather solve things himself than involve people and I knew he hated my guts. After Selene had gone with the stranger whom she kept calling Kragen, we were left alone. I took a deep sigh and gave him a small smile when our gaze met.
"I know you hate my guts, Lucius and it’s understandable but if things must work now, someone but be in charge. Take the reins and do the guiding. I don’t want us clashing over things that we should do or decision so...".
"You’re so full of yourself, Kurtis," he stopped me mid-sentence "I know you don’t know so much about me except for the fact that you know I hate you which is true. I’ve never attempted to like you, you know but you should know I don’t waste my energy on a lot of things. So, I am not obsessing over hating you. All I want is for us to do the right thing, save the kings and we’ll be done. If you make a decision that doesn’t make sense or will not be favourable, I won’t do it. So, you be careful in making those decisions,".
I scoffed as I stared at him with a ready reply on the tips of my tongue but I decided against it. No matter what words I choose to use on him, it won’t affect him in any way. People like Lucius decide what they want to hear and what they don’t want to.
"Fair enough!" I nodded "Now, do you think we should go with Selene’s friends’ counsel or do something else?"
His eyes flickered the rest of my body with disdain, when he was done, he shook his head and rolled his eyes. "If there’s a way to get Conrad’s image or picture, I came with some foxes who have been under our custody for the longest time and I’ll have them take up Conrad’s image to approach the mercenary head and make a deal with them. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it,".
