Chapter 32: Chapter 32 The Great Betrayal

The Lycan's Soul MateWords: 5177

It was the twilight of the following day when Lydia had given her

daughter Nina some old herbs to give to luca to finish him off. She had

decided that the only person who could identify Nina was Luca and if

so then she would have to keep that from happening. She had to get

rid of Luca at all costs and she didn't mind using her daughter to do it.

She had told her of how important it was to them to get the sacred

plant. With it in their control they would be able to harness the

goddess’ power and reign over the wolves.

Nina had come to realize that Luca didn't want her nor did he love her.

When she thought that she was special to him he“d only been using her

till his real mate came along. She had no one to blame but herself.

She'd been warned and instructed not to get side tracked. She was

cautioned about the Lycan’s strengths and their ability to make women

fall at their feet. She knew all too well as she had been privy to her

adopted father's escapades.

Her adopted mother was not his mate. His true mate had fallen in

battle and the two were more like companions so she didn't really have

a problem with his flings. She however had been approached by her

mother Lydia. Lydia had taught her how to use her gifts and how to

hate the Lycans. She didn't like them but she grew to love Luca. Clearly

it was not a true love as she used him to get what she wanted.

Now that she knew that he didn’t want her then she could care less

what became of him. She had secretly hoped that she would be his wife

and sit on the throne and corrupt him from there but this was clearly

not going to happen. She was sure of it now more than ever. She had

to keep giving him the potion just to keep him interested and look

what happened. She had fucked him so many times with the hopes of

becoming pregnant with his child but that never happened either. How

unlucky she was. The two sat almost defeated and that was when Nina

told her mother that she knew where the tree was but didn't have a key

to that garden. She had tried to find out about it but Luca wouldn't let

anything go. He has always been so damn loyal to his responsibilities.

She set off to the house and crept into Lucas’ room. She knew her way

around the palace as she had practically lived there. She had to get rid

of Luca not just for herself but her coven. He could not recover to give

her away. She had snuck into his room so many times to fuck and he

loved it. Everything was going so well that she'd let her guard down

and look where she ended up. Defeated by that little white-haired

bitch. It had to be her that had Luca resisting her even while under the

spell. “Damn her!” she thought to herself as she entered the room.

She had just placed the herbs in Luca's mouth when one of the guards

walked in. Startled she pelted a poisoned dagger stabbing him in the

chest rendering him useless. Luna had ben two doors down when she

saw the guard fall and entered the room. Seeing Nina over Luca trying

to have him ingest the herms She transformed and attacked Nina.

She'd almost ripped her to shreds when she was forced to return to her

human form. Nina had scratched her with some herbs which rendered

her so weak. She growled a powerful growl which the Lucian heard and

upon seeing his niece lying on the floor he followed Nina. He caught up

to her and dragged her back to the palace.

Lydia who had gotten some leaves from the sacred plant had scurried

away when she heard the commotion and saw her daughter being

taken to the palace by Lucian. “Damn that wolf. He will pay for this with

his life. I will end his line once and for all.” She knew that she cold not

help her daughter but at least she got a few leaves. Just enough for the

potion that they needed to set their plan in motion.

Lucian put Luna to lay down on the bed next to Luca and the Alpha

prince took them to the sacred plant in the garden upon the request of

the tribe seer and healer. They had realized that the garden had been

penetrated by magic and so a council meeting was called. Lucian

remained with his daughter until they were both awake. They were

however still very weak. The plant had healing qualities and was

remarkable. The healer said that the poison that they were given should

have killed them both yet still because of their strong spirits and the

potence of the sacred plant they had been spared from the clutches of

death.

The meeting conveyed to find out what Nina Knew and how to deal

with her. Her adopted parents were beside themselves and asked to be

excused from the proceedings. They had asked to deal with her as the

counsel saw it fit as they had renounced her as a child of theirs. The

meeting conveyed and Nina was put on the stand and allowed to plead

her case and explain however she showed no remorse and told them

how her mother and coven was going to be the end of them.

Knowing now that the plant had been compromised and that Nina had

tried to kill his son and Luna the judgement was death by the hunt. She

was released and hunted by the Lucas packmates. She was ripped to

shreds and her remains were burned. The wolves growled with

contentment that she was killed for what she had done.
