Chapter 42
Lia pov
Lorenzo plastered a mocking smile on his face “Awwn can you see” he said pointing at Luca who was behind me glaring at him “Your friend brought her man to fight for her” he said and added chuckling “She brought a rogue to fight a beta, isn't that stupidity at its peak” he asked.
I looked at Luca, his jaw tightened as he crossed his arms around his chest.
He cleared his throat, “ What do you want Lorenzo?” he asked him.
He pointed at me, “Her, or the secret you are keeping,” he said.
I furrowed my eyebrows, what secret was he talking about? Luca's eyes were reduced to a split.
“What are you talking about?” He asked.
Lorenzo stood up from the couch. And strolled towards us with a plastered smile, his blonde hair scattered and his neck still had marks of Luca’s bite in it. I am not even sure he has taken his bath because he still had his blood-stained clothes on.
“You know I have been following you all around and I discovered that your mistress here always visits this place so often. I am pretty sure I kidnapped her but don't remember what happened next. Then it occurred to me, "Is either your mistress cheating on you with someone who is a hybrid or Lexie is the hybrid” he explained.
Luca and I stood there watching him. Without showing any emotions. At least Merlin was out of the question. We could fight on our own without worrying about him and I know for certain that Luca would tame Lorenzo when the time comes.
Luca cleared his throat “You kidnapped her?” He asked feigning ignorance.
Lorenzo cracked a smile “Oh yes but her savior came to release her” he said.
What did he mean? Did he mean that he knew that Luca was a hybrid?
“So you think I am a hybrid, but you just called me a rogue?” Luca said.
“Of course not, I know you are a valueless rogue known only for his tyranny.” he said and turned to her “But I do know that she is the hybrid,” he said pointing at Lexie.
Luca burst into laughter, he laughed and laughed and kept quiet and continued laughing “Seriously, you think Lexie is the hybrid. Did you smell any hybrid in her? You think if she was a hybrid you would not be dead by now?” he asked, still laughing.
Lorenzo swallowed hard, and Lexie stared at me with pitiful tear-filled eyes. Her mouth was covered with a bind “Release her and ask her to attack me” Luca said.
I glared at Luca, he knew that Lexie was not a hybrid then what was he trying to do? Lorenzo looked at him and foolishly went to Lia asking.
“Stand up and change to your wolf form. I want to see you.” He ordered.
Lexie quickly changed to her wolf form and back. Lorenzo curled his hands into a fiat as his eyes reddened. He narrowed his eyes at me and Luca and turned away, of course, he will never suspect us.
“So?” Luca asked “I can't see a hybrid anywhere? ”he said looking around.
Lorenzo narrowed his gaze to me and advanced me, fear gripped me at the thought of whatever he was going to do. I brought out the wooden stake Luca had given me but Luca stepped in front of me.
“Don't you dare” he growled.
Lorenzo scoffed “What do you think people are going to say about you? You will be a symbol of pity. Look at the rogue who decided to fuck his lose brother's wife to comfort himself for his mate that was killed”, he said.
Luca's shoulders tightened. He never liked people talking about his mate around him. I am sure he missed her from time to time because they shared a bond unlike me who never had a bond with my mate except Finn who seems protective but sometimes it crosses my mind that he might just be pretending to care.
“Call her loose again and I will make you lose your head” Luca growled.
“How? Do you want to kill a beta? Your cousin would sentence you for that?” He said.
Luca tilted his head and scoffed “You seem to be so proud about this beta position.”
“Of course, I am,” Lorenzo answered with a hint of pride.
“Has it ever occurred to you that a weak-minded Alpha with an ignorant beta would be the worst combination”
“I mean it's pathetic because you were bitten by a hybrid and you come to threaten the life of a wolf thinking she is a hybrid. I mean, is that the best you can do?”
“I would find that hybrid, and I will bring him to hurt you,” he said pointing at Luca.
A smile crept into my lips. He is never going to find the hybrid because the hybrid is the one standing before him.
“Why don't you ask the person that healed you of your bite? I am sure she will know” Luca suggested with a smile.
Lorenzo took a step backward and started pacing around the room. “You don't get it Luca, we will be in trouble if the hybrid decides to attack, the park would be in trouble. We don't even know how many of them are still existing, ”he ponders.
Luca nodded his head as if he was thinking with him. “What are you trying to say?” He asked Lorenzo.
Lorenzo walked up to him and squeezed his shoulder, he raised his gaze to meet Luca's own.
“I am saying that we join hands together and bring that hybrid down. We were once brothers, you know, and I still see you as one even though Dean is blinded by revenge. You don't know who the hybrid would attack next it might be Lia or Lexie or even you” he implored.
Luca scoffed with a smile. “I thought I was a rogue. Useless, right? Is that not what you Guys called me.?" he asked Lorenzo and pulled him by his collar “We were never friends and we will never be and if you think Dean is the one thirsty for power then you thought wrong. Because I am throne thirsty for vengeance and I will -
The door cracked open. I turned to see who it was, and my heart dropped at once. It was Merlin. He stood there looking at us, his hair wet with water. He smiled “Mummy!”
