Chapter 75 Part 1
Chapter 75
Lucy
I knew I had been given a huge responsibility and it had almost felt like Gabi had just given me back a part of myself. I couldn’t explain it though. For once I did not feel weak or the pitied one, I was a strong warrior given a difficult mission. A mission that was of utmost importance. I had to infiltrate the asshats that had taken me prisoner and deliver a blow right to where it hurt them the most. Their wallets. I would say their balls but many of these assholes had none. That is why they prayed on those that couldn’t defend themselves. And now, Gabi was giving me the in that I desperately needed to gain back my confidence and strength. Until sweet Roman opened his fat mouth.
“ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!?!?!” He roared out in anger. What many couldn’t hear was the panting that told everyone that he was seconds from shifting and letting the beast out.
“Sam, are you serious right now? What if this was your mate huh? What if this was any one of your mates? Huh? Would you be so willing to send them in?” Though he had a point, I understood the delicate need that this mission called for. Many other women wouldn’t be prepared and would succumb to the struggles. I had lived it, I knew what to expect. I was the best fit but in his anger fueled rage Roman could not think properly. Though Levi, seated on the other side of me, was sitting there in deep thought. I could tell he agreed with Roman but the logical side of him explained the pros and cons in a manner that was not personal.
“Roman, please let us finish….” Samuel said, attempting to calm down his raging brother.
“No, you are finished because it is not fucking happening. She is not going back in there….” Roman again growled out, still puffing out his chest. This time it was on me. And the look that Gabi was giving me gave me all the strength I would need.
“Yes. Yes I am Roman…” I said and looked around the room. The eyes of the members present where both of awe and surprise. Except Gabi, Gabi was giving me the ‘you go get them girl’ look. And that was exactly what I was about to do. I was about ready to rain down hell on their entire coorporation.
“Listen to me Roman. Please. I need to do this. For my sanity. This isn’t a punishment, it is an opportunity to take back what they took from me. And only I can take it back you cannot take it back for me. You will let me do this.” I told him sternly.
“I am sorry Lucy, BUT LIKE FUCKING HELL…” He began to yell at me and I could see his fingers elongating and taking shape of his wolfly beast.
“Alpha Samuel, Luna Gabi. Can we please have Roman removed. I would like to hear the rest of the plan. He will not see reason until he has no choice to.” I say as detached as possible. It was killing me to suggest that my mate be taken back to the cells but there was no other choice. He would not listen to me nor anyone else at this table until he was forced to.
“I think we can accommodate that request.” Gabi replied sweetly before looking at Celeste and Adrik. Celeste began to chant, and my mother quickly joined her.
“Mater dea supra,
Regina noctis
Auxilium somnum in vestri sanitatem lucem
Raquiem somnum ad eum
Relaxat corpus et animo sit liber
Dona ei pacem et tranquillitas sicut dormit
Suscit in deam calidum lux”
(Mother goddess above, queen of the night, help him sleep in your healing light, Restful sleep comes to him, relax his body and let his mind be free, grant him peace and calm his mind as he sleeps, let him wake in your goddess warm light).
Meanwhile Adrik was moving closer before resting a hand on his shoulder as Roman had begun to thrush about attempting to shift. Levi had a protective grip on my hip prepared to move me if I was close to danger all while attempting to convince Roman that he needed to calm himself.
“Roman calm the fuck down. If you don’t they will throw your ass back into the damn cells.”
“FUCK YOU. LUCY, I SAID FUCKING NO. LEVI I SWEAR IF ANYTHING HAPPENS…” Roman roared. The man was so angered that he couldn’t even form a coherent thought. I feared even saying another word. I had upset him this time and I was the cause for this hurt and anger.
Once Adrik had placed a firm and punishing grip onto his shoulder I could hear him whisper into his ear.
“Sleep”
The moment that his body slumpt over onto the table, I heard a soft knock onto the door.
“Come in Thaddeus.” Samuel said.
“Take him back to the cells, please. Place him gently on the bed, and DO NOT DRAW ON HIS FACE.” He said looking at his friend.
“You take all the fun out of everything.” Thaddeus muttered under his breath as he left with Roman tossed carefully over his back.
“I am sorry everyone. I guess I should have taken that back to our room and discussed it privately with him.” I said looking at everyone in the room.
“You have nothing to be sorry for Lucy. He is doing what any mate would do. When we have a mate we become overly protective over them. And I can honestly say Lucy, that if the situation was based on my mate I would feel the same way and probably go just as crazy.” Alpha Samuel explained and the nods of approval were evident as every male in the room also nodded.
“But then why didn’t you?” I asked without stopping myself.
“Trust me Luce I wanted to. But logic overruled. That and a whispering sister.” Levi said, giving my hand a strong squeeze then looking at his sister who had a guilty look on her face.
“What, I couldn’t have you going all domineering on me. Plus you know that we are right. Plus I needed you to stay here and listen to the damn plan.” Gabi said unabashedly.
“Okay so what is this brilliant plan of yours that will help me stay face to face with my mates.” Levi said, smirking at his sister's sarcastic ways.
“So. Lucy, as much as I admire your tenacity. I do not want you going in fully alone. For this I want to send in someone that is just as strong and determined. I was thinking maybe you, Savenia. You would be able to keep Lucy sane and help her deal with the trauma of her past but also with your expertise I was hoping that you could go in from a military standpoint. Look for choke points, strong holds. You know the works. But I also want you to assist when the time comes to get the woman and if any children out safely. Lucy, since you have been there before I am going to want you to do your best to identify who you can. Then when the time comes helping to get the women out safely.” Gabi said, looking between Savenia and I.
“I am down.” Savenia said with amusement dancing in her bright yellow eyes.
“Not even going to consider my feelings on this are you?” Alec said, looking at Savenia then back to Gabi.
“Do you have a better candidate than a demon?” Gabi questioned.
“Well no, but you could have at least talked about it and listened to suggestions.” Alec snided.
“Oh shut up you. You have absolutely no control over what I do. So, hush and let the grown up talk.” Savenia said standing up and looking down at a speechless Alec.
“Oh you're gonna see grown up, when we get back to my room tonight.” Alec said with a promise of retribution.
