Chapter 13
I lay on the bed, eyes opened throughout the night. I did not even bother sleeping.
My mind kept racing back to what Luca said.
Merlin had almost been attacked. Hope Lexie was okay.
At four o'clock I stood up and started pacing around the room. Once it was five o'clock I would go to Lexie’s house.
Confused thoughts ran through me. Merlin has never been attacked. Up until now, I had succeeded in keeping Merlin a secret from everyone.
No one knew about him. So how come the first night I spent in the palace, they attacked him.
It only meant someone knew about Merlin's father. The only person who knew about it was Luca.
Could Luca be the one who tried to hurt him? I mean how did he know he was about to be attacked?
No. Luca would never want to hurt me.
“He might not want to hurt you but remember he is Dean's enemy. His anger might hurt Merlin,” my wolf said.
This was the first time she was talking to me since the night they unlocked her.
I smiled with courage, I now had someone to be around me.
“Who do you think it might be?” I asked my wolf.
“I don't know,” she replied in a sad voice. Obviously, she was sad that my child was in danger.
“I think Dean is suspicious of you and Luca after the affection you showed his cousin,” she added.
I knew it was going to make us seem suspicious but I could not control my emotions yesterday. Luca was the only one I felt comfortable around.
Immediately it was 5 o'clock and I wore my dress. A pair of trousers and a white shirt left my room and walked towards the gate.
The guards stood in front of the gate with a stoic face. Their overly body-built body hovered over me as they tried to intimidate me.
“Move out of my way. I need to see someone.” I said with a frown.
“The Alpha has insisted one of us follow you if you are going out,” he said.
I scoffed, Dean can't be serious. I knew he was doing it because of what happened yesterday.
He was trying to find out whatever we were hiding.
Coward! He will never know anything about me and my loved ones after all he hated me.
I crossed my arms over my chest “I don't want to go with a guard I can go on my own.”
They remained in the same position as one of them spoke, “Then I am afraid we can't allow you.”
I tried to push them away but they did not flinch.
Ahhh! I hated Alpha Dean with my life. I needed to see Merlin even though today was my wedding day.
I glared at them for the last time and made my way inside blind with rage and fear when I bumped into a hard chest.
I looked up with relief, it was Luca.
He raised his eyebrows as he asked “Are you going somewhere?”
I nodded, “I was but your annoying Cousin told his guards to make sure I don't leave this palace without them.” I said.
“Is it about Mer?” He asked.
I nodded with a smile. I like the fact that he gave Merlin a nickname.
“I want to see if he is fine,” I added with a low pleading voice.
He stared at me for a while and heaved a sigh.
He took hold of my hands and we went to his car. He opened the door for me and I entered. I beamed with a smile at him.
The guard remained standing at the front of the gate.
The guard stood by the gate, “You can't take her with you,” he said.
“On whose orders?” He asked his voice deep with anger.
“Alpha Dean,” he said.
Luca took in deep breaths and looked at me “Whatever you do. Don't panic and know that I will never hurt you,” he said.
I nodded wondering what he was going to do.
“Open the gates or I will blow you off,” he threatened.
A cold shiver ran down my spine at his threat.
They stood there untouched. He drew a gun from the back of his pocket and shot them on the spot.
He pressed the button as the gate rolled out.
He entered his car and banged the car door. I watched with awe as he turned on the car.
Did he just kill for me?
“Are you okay?” He asked his eyes on the road that led to Lexi's house.
“Yes.”
He spared me a glance, his eyes lingered on my top, his jaws tightened and then he looked away.
“You are not scared about what just happened.”
“No. You will never hurt me.” I said.
A little smile appeared on his lips, “Good.”
A comfortable silence evolved around us as I took my time to take in the intricate details of his body.
He wore a tight long shirt that enhanced his muscles. His black shining hair was perfectly combed with some strands falling on his forehead. His perfectly curved heart-shaped lips made it irresistible for me to look away.
“I think you are going to be committing adultery anytime soon,” my wolf spoke from within.
I nodded with a smile, my skin lit with fire.
“Forgive me but I made Benedicta do a spell around Lexie's house. That was how I knew he was being attacked.”
No wonder he knew about the attack and here I was suspecting him. The car stopped at Lexie's house.
“I will drive off to Benedict's house while you go in. Dean might send people to follow me and I want them to think we are with Benedicta'' he said.
I nodded with a smile. “Thank you,” I said and sneaked into Lexie's house.
Immediately I opened the door and Merlin rushed towards me and jumped on me.
“The man who came that day. He saved me. They wanted to kill me,” he said in a low shivering voice.
I hugged him tight as I caressed his hair. “It's okay. I'm here” I said.
Lexie walked towards me. With watery eyes. Gosh, she must be so scared.
“The ruthless rogue was the one who saved us. There were five. They wanted to kill Merlin but somehow he killed three. Two ran away.” Lexie said.
“I’m sorry.” I apologized.
It's okay. Just be careful,” she said with a smile.
I spent the last hour with Merlin. Immediately Luca honked at me and I bade goodbye to Merlin.
He started crying. He did not want to leave me. He was so scared. I consoled him and promised to be back and left.
The ride back home was silent. Luca seemed tense.
Immediately we got into the palace. The guard stood in front of us. “The Alpha wants to see you.”
Luca nodded and we walked inside the house.
Dean’s father together with all the royal members stood there staring at us.
“Why did the both of you visit a witch this morning?” He asked.
My heart sank into my chest. It meant Benedicta was in trouble
