Chapter 246: All this fighting and blood...
Lucius POV
I turned to Emilia and gave her a sign to leave.
She wanted to protest but when she met my gaze, she rolled her eyes and left us. Now it was just me, two Selenes and Jade.
"Well, well," Jared drawled. "if it isn’t the loyal lapdog, come to rescue his mistress. I was just telling Jade that the possibility of you showing up here was high and she was doubting and I am right. The most loyal, selfless Beta ever – I wonder what these people pay you because they do not deserve you one bit. You’re the gift that keeps giving,".
"I’m not here to banter words with you," I told him quietly "We’re not friends, we never were and will never be... so I don’t take advice from people who are not qualified enough to be my enemy or my friend. Just let her go and this ends now. I promise I’ll take just the Luna and leave quietly,".
"I know you’ll do that," Jared nodded and began to remove the tape around Selene’s mouth. My gaze darted to Jade again and I didn’t know if this was the Fox that was sent to deceive Jared but we made no mention of using another Selene... so it was all confusing for me.
I looked at both Selenes – one of them was literally fidgeting on her seat, tears in her eyes. Even without speaking, I could tell she was begging me with her eyes. While the other one was quiet.
Jade removed the tape around her own Selene and immediately she started pleading.
"Where is Noah? She says if he’s not here she would kill me and my pup. Please, you have to call Noah... she won’t hurt him, I promise. Please," she sobbed.
