Third POV

Lucia looked right at Elijah's warriors before her now. The warriors were practicing very hard, and also dexterously. Judging from the movements made by Elijah's warriors, they looked very fast and also very agile. The Elijah warriors also looked much stronger than the warriors Harrison had in the past. Their speed could not even be matched anymore. Lucia propped up her chin with her right hand there, while sighing slowly. It had been almost a couple of hours since the warriors had been practicing so vigorously, and all of them did not look even the slightest bit tired until now.

And Lucia's eyes were starting to feel sleepy and also a little tired there. Besides, last night, Lucia had also said too many things to Felicity. Things that she didn't think about at all. Because, Lucia herself was already feeling very upset and also could no longer hold back the anger and resentment that was increasingly felt peaking in her heart, and also her mind at that time.

Lucia could even feel a sense of satisfaction as she looked at Felicity's pale expression, as if her life was ruined. Lucia longed to see the same reaction as Harrison now. However, Lucia herself was not even sure what answer Felicity would give to what she had offered last night.

About Felicity having to betray Harrison. Because in the end, Harrison will have to remain alone, with no one else by his side, when Lucia comes with her revenge to the full. Lucia wanted Harrison to be alone, in the last moments of his life, feeling very desperate. Just as Lucia had felt a year ago. Lucia herself would love to be able to wage that war right now. However, Lucia could not make any rash moves now. Lucia had to think about all the things that could happen when the war started.

Lucia also had to come up with enough new plans to really put Harrison alone at the very end of her revenge mission. And of course, all that was now before Lucia was one of the plans she and Elijah had. That is to make the warriors train, to be able to prepare themselves also in the war between The Bloodlust Moon Pack, and also The Silver Moon Pack.

"Hey, what are you thinking, Lucia?"

Elijah suddenly came and sat right next to Lucia there. Lucia and Elijah were sitting side by side right at the top of the steps of the front yard of The Bloodlust Moon Pack right now. Elijah looked right at Lucia who was still looking straight at the warriors practicing there. Lucia looked so focused, but her eyes still looked quite blank, and her mind was drifting to be able to think about many things there.

"Just looking at the warriors practicing... they're practicing with so much passion. I don't know what you've promised them, to make them train so passionately like this."

Lucia replied with a small smile that was immediately visible on her face now. Lucia was no longer supporting her chin with her right hand. Now, Lucia began to turn her head slightly and looked right at Elijah who continued to look at her, with a wide smile on his lips now. That instantly made Lucia begin to frown deeply, confused by Elijah's attitude there.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Elijah?" Lucia asked in that mumbling voice.

"Looking at you like what is it, Lucia?"

Elijah turned to ask Lucia there, while widening the smile that was on his face now. Elijah himself felt very happy with the calmness that Lucia was starting to show now. Remembering how Lucia reacted when she found out that Elijah was actually her mate that night. Lucia looked quite panicked, and managed to be calmed by the explanation given by the great witch at that time.

Of course, Elijah still had to explain more things and details about the matting between him and Lucia that night. Including when Elijah made a small surprise, by changing the bezel for Lucia's heirloom jewel at that time. Elijah really wanted to be the mate Lucia deserved. Lucia, on the other hand, was also trying to make herself worthy of Elijah. Because in the end, the feelings of love between the two of them can be reciprocated with each other now

"That... with those eyes of yours, Elijah."

Lucia slowly pointed to Elijah's eyes in front of her using the index finger of her right hand there. Lucia looked at Elijah with even more confusion now. However, Lucia was still trying to come to terms with the fact that she and Elijah were mates. Of course, between mates, there was a bond.

"You look at me in a very different way now."

Lucia paused for a moment, and began to gently bite her lower lip there. Of course, the bond between mates, indeed the core was very different, when Elijah decided to be able to mark Lucia as his mate. Likewise, Lucia had accepted the mark right on her neck now.

"You... hardly ever even looked at me in that way before, Elijah. You make me feel... a little shy. But, somehow, I'm also happy about all those things about you."

Elijah, who was listening to Lucia's words there, immediately smiled very broadly. Even so, Elijah himself also felt his heart beating faster now. Elijah felt very happy when he heard all the words Lucia said. Until because he felt too happy, Elijah very quickly immediately pulled Lucia's body into his arms now. Elijah even kissed the top of Lucia's head with a happy feeling. Elijah himself finally knew that in fact, Lucia herself also loved him, even though she still couldn't really understand all the feelings she was feeling right now.

Elijah even tightened the hug he gave Lucia there. Meanwhile, Lucia, who was in Elijah's arms, immediately became silent, and felt her heart beating faster now. But slowly, Lucia's arms began to stretch out and return the hug given by Elijah there. Lucia herself was so enjoying the embrace that was happening between her and Elijah now, that she unconsciously began to close her eyelids very tightly there.

Seeing how Elijah and Lucia were hugging each other there, instantly made the warriors' concentration become broken, and no longer continued the training they were doing in the front yard of The Bloodlust Moon Pack now. The warriors turned their eyes and looked at Elijah and Lucia who were still hugging there. The warriors even looked happy, and also relieved, as they realized that their Lycan King, Elijah, had actually found and also got his mate, Lucia.

After waiting for many years, Elijah was finally able to meet Lucia, and went through quite a few challenges in his complicated relationship with Lucia in the beginning. And now, Elijah is starting to get his first taste of happiness with Lucia. The warriors couldn't even hide their happiness for their Lycan King. Moreover, Elijah's own life is also starting to turn more colorful.

"Elijah..."

Lucia murmured softly, having opened her eyelids there. Lucia began to notice the happy gaze the warriors were giving her and Elijah, who were still in an embracing position right now.

"What's wrong, Lucia? Let me hold you a little longer..."

Elijah replied with a murmur there as well. Elijah even tightened the embrace he was giving Lucia's body now. Elijah himself was completely unaware of the look that was being given by his warriors who had stopped training there.

"I think you should let go of this hug, Elijah. Because, the warriors are looking right at the two of us. Those warriors are no longer practicing, and are just looking right at the two of us, while smiling now. Take a look, Elijah."

Lucia slowly tried to shake off the hug Elijah was giving her. Lucia's palms even began to move and slightly push against Elijah's broad chest that was hugging her body very tightly now. Listening to what Lucia had just said there, immediately made Elijah release his embrace, and looked right at the warriors who were still smiling while looking right at Elijah and Lucia there now.

Elijah himself immediately put on his flat and serious face, while looking at the warriors. As for Lucia, she herself immediately began to look away, and tried to hide her face that was flushed with shyness now.

"What are you guys doing?! Why are you silent and not practicing?! Hurry up and get back to practicing! If not, you'll be practicing directly with me later!"

Elijah shouted giving orders again to the warriors to get back to training there. With hasty movements, the warriors returned to training with each other now.

The ringing of a cell phone instantly sounded, and diverted Lucia and Elijah there. Quickly, Lucia reached into her pants pocket, and retrieved her cell phone. Elijah kept looking curiously at who was calling Lucia right now. And when Lucia paused to look right at her cell phone screen, it was a call made by Felicity. Lucia immediately sighed slowly, and took the call from Felicity, not forgetting to turn on the speaker so that Elijah could listen to the call together.

"Yes, Felicity? What's wrong?"

Lucia asked Felicity straight to the point now. As best she could, Lucia used her very flat and cold tone of voice there.

"I want to say the answer I've been thinking about, Lucia..."

Felicit replied in a tone of voice that sounded stammered there. Even so, Felicity herself also sounded a little mumbling now. That instantly made Lucia's mind wander to the place where Felicity was right now. And at that moment, Lucia saw that Felicity was still inside The Silver Moon Pack, precisely in the room, alone. This led Lucia to believe that Felicity was trying to avoid Harrison.

"Yes. Just tell me. What decisions have you made now, Felicity. I don't have much time if you decide the wrong thing for me now. And yes, I can come anytime to The Silver Moon Pack. You'd be surprised at how many things I bring there later."

Lucia began to answer with a hint of threat there.

"No-no. Wait... hold on. I'll tell you the answer I got."

Felicity nervously interrupted Lucia's speech. That immediately made Lucia pause, and slightly turn her head there to be able to look right at Elijah who was also listening carefully to the phone call now. Not long after that, Felicity could be heard sighing slowly.

"I decided that I would do all the things you said and asked me to do yesterday, Lucia. I will help you by taking all the women, and children who are in The Silver Moon Pack out and bringing them to a safe place. Besides... I... besides, I will also betray Harrison. I will no longer stand by his side, and support all the crimes he has committed. I... I will never again side with Harrison. I will... I will do all the things you have told me to do, Lucia. I will do that."

Listening to all the answers that Felicity had just said there, instantly made Lucia smile widely. A feeling of relief was instantly felt by Lucia there. Even so, Lucia also realized that she herself had to remain vigilant about all the possibilities that would occur during the war. Lucia might not know much about Felicity's cunning, but she would definitely try to fight back in the end. Lucia had expected all these things to happen.

Likewise, Elijah felt the same way, just like Lucia was feeling right now. Their mate bond was really beneficial, being able to understand each other's thoughts and feelings quite easily.

"Good then. So now, listen to the first thing you must do immediately, Felicity. Tomorrow night, you must take all the women, and children of The Silver Moon Pack, right to the northern center of the forest, near the territory of The Bloodlust Moon Pack. There, you will meet me in person again."

Lucia muttered with a tone of voice that was both firm and serious now. Lucia asked for that, because earlier, Elijah, Emrys, and Josiah, together, had prepared a house large enough to accommodate the women and children who had to be rescued from the Silver Moon Pack first.

"I-I'll do it. I will definitely be able to bring them all there, before nightfall. On top of that, I'll also make sure that no one else follows us all there. I... I won't betray you. I've sworn on my own life. I won't be so careless as to do all those things."

Felicity quickly answered the request Lucia had given her just now. Felicity herself even sounded very nervous, and also full of worry within herself

"Of course. Because in the end, if you remain treacherous, your life will be the price to me, Felicity."

So after saying that, Lucia immediately hung up the phone call, and put her cell phone back into her pocket.

"Wow, Lucia, you really are a badass hybrid. You sound very brave, and also very assertive. Also, seeing you talk and make facial expressions like that, really makes me realize that you look even sexier now."

Elijah murmured, with an expression on his face that looked even happier there. Even so, Elijah himself continued to try to get a chance to tease Lucia with his current remark.

"Elijah... stop... you're embarrassing me."

Lucia immediately muttered with a small smile on her face, as a sign that she was feeling embarrassed right now. Several times, Lucia glanced in the other direction, to make sure that no one else was watching the interaction between her and Elijah right now.

"What if someone else is listening to what you're saying?" Lucia asked.

"Then it doesn't even matter to me, Lucia. Because when I see your face looking happy, and also full of relief like now, it also makes me feel the same way, as you are feeling right now. And I don't want to miss a single moment of our time together. I'm happy when I see you happy too, Lucia. And that is enough for me."

After Elijah finished saying all those things, it instantly made Lucia, who was still feeling a little embarrassed there, immediately stand up from her current sitting position, and run into The Bloodlust Moon Pack there. Lucia couldn't help but feel happy, and also embarrassed that she was feeling right now. Seeing Lucia running in there, immediately made Elijah also get up and follow Lucia by running.

Seeing the interaction between Elijah and Lucia there, really made the warriors, Emrys and Josiah who were observing the two of them from a distance, smile happily. After all, if the war happened later, they all had to try very hard, to be able to bring victory to The Bloodlust Moon Pack. So that the happiness felt by Elijah and Lucia would never stop, and would continue into the next life.
