Luciano's POV

"I THINK IT'S best we send Vincentius a message now. It's been four days and I think we are good," I told Sasha who was obnoxiously chewing her gum.

"Ya, I am tired of the chick already. When will ya' discard her?" She asked while looking at me.

"When Vincent will come here and see her death," I told her wickedly. I got up from my chair and decided to give our little guest a good surprise.

Opening the doors to the cellar, I met with a much neater look. She was all bandaged up and wearing different clothes. The clothes were worn out but whatever.

"Max," I called one of my wolves. She flinched at the tone of my voice. Grinning widely I see Max running up to me. Max was one of my wolves he wasn't yet infected but he begged me to take him under my wing. He was a scrawny boy with a normal wolf. He was on no use to me and I had to deliver a message to Vincent too.

"Max, you've been a very helpful little kid. You're always agreeing and accepting my orders, doing my little work but you're of no big use to me," I said watching Bellamy squirm in fear. Good, because I wanted her to see this.

"What do you mean boss? Did I do anything wrong? Tell me where I went wrong and I will work on myself," I smiled at his thoughtfulness. "Kid, you are of no use to me. I can't even let you go on your own, you're precious," He smiled.

Before he could say anything I lunged at him and bit his neck. I started chewing and biting on his neck in front of Bellamy who screamed, yelled fought the chains to get free. Laughing loudly I brought the body of max and myself closer to her and she crawled back until her back hit the wall. I could sense the fear creeping her insides.

The neck detached from the body and landed in front of Bellamy. She screamed as I offered the body to her. "Look at your face!" I laughed as I wiped my blood-covered face with the back of my hand.

"If you even do anything smart, next time like poor Max I'll send your head to your husband!" I whispered in her ear. Her body was trembling with fear. I left the body on the floor for Bellamy to eat If she wants and took the head with me.

I wrote a little letter and stick it onto the forehead of little max. I ordered my wolf to send this little surprise to the Royal castle for your highness.

Vincentius Dante

Like the past three days, I was in my office waiting for a clue that could help me find Bellamy. While I was at it, Hernandez came barging in the room with a lady beside her. The lady looked like a typical traditional witch, she wore an old baggy looking gown, huge chains around her and neck, and many stones ring on her fingers.

"What?" I asked looking at the lady.

"I may know where you can find the Queen," She said coming to the point. I knew she was bluffing because the past seventy-two witches gave up on finding her location. How can she help me?

"I am not bluffing." I was shocked, she could read my mind.

"Yes I can," She replied. Feeling astonished, I gestured her to sit.

"Now speak," I demanded.

"Those dumb witches couldn't even break one simple magic spell. A hidden spell is cast on Bellamy. Bring me Bellamy's hair and a map of all the sides and I will tell you in a much practical way," She asked looking at Hernandez. He nodded and scurried out.

"How are you so sure?" I asked her narrowing my eyes, "I know your Madre," She replied in a monotone voice.

Hernandez was back with Bellamy's hairbrush and the map. The witch neatly placed the map on the table along with Bellamy's hair.

"Give me your hand," She asked. "Why?" I replied.

"You and Bellamy have been bind-ed. Only your blood will work to trace her," She said. She made a small cut on my hand. Droplets of blood landed on the map sheet.

"Those witches, I assume only used her hair to find her, right?" Hernandez nodded. She was right, all the seventy-two witches that we contacted only asked for her hair and not for my blood.

"Modern witches are dumb." She mumbled under her breath.

She started whispering some words in Latin which neither Hernandez could understand nor I. Blood on the sheet started traveling at one point. They stopped at the landmark of the southern side.

"She's somewhere in the southern. Anywhere but in or near the Southern Side," She replied.

"Your nose is dripping with blood," I told her, she touched her nose and saw blood for herself.

"Finding out the location was easy, but the one behind all the schemes is a mastermind. He knew if any normal witch finds her spot, she'll die in seconds- such spells will only take a toll on me for a few moments but later will disappear," She said. While we were conversing, my office window crashed. There was a box attached with a rock that caused the window to break.

Cautiously I walked towards the box and was about to open it when the witch stopped me. "Wait! let me cast a spell and see if it's something dangerous." She whispered some words in Latin again and gestured me to open it. Opening the box, I was stunned to see the head of a wolf in his human form with a note sticking on his forehead.

As much as I wanted Bellamy's head I knew it would be foolish considering I want to do that in front of you. The time is ticking, tick-tock, tick-tock. I want you alone near the southern army field, I repeat ALONE. I want to kill your sweet little Bellamy in front of your eyes. Be there sharp within five hours, if you get late I'll kill her without your presence and if you're there on time, you can have the chance to save her. Though, the chances are less.

-Your favorite cousin brother,

Luciano.

"I will end you, Luciano!" I roared. I started making my way out of the office when the witch stopped me.

"You're foolish if you're going there without a protection spell. Can't you see how confident he sounds? He has something that can be lethal or else he would've never taken Bellamy in the first place!" She said. She was right. Even though I was angry I had to play smart. I couldn't trust Luciano.

She cast the spell on me and I felt a wave of electricity down my spine. "Now you are safe. Even if he kills you, then you will revive after some time. But make sure you protect Bellamy first. You won't be able to protect her if you get killed because you won't wake up straight!" She instructed. I nodded.

"I need forces. I know Luciano knows that I won't come alone. Bring the trained army behind me but hide them. Don't let them attack straight. Only do so if I am in danger or Bellamy!" I instructed. I had the protection spell on me, lets just hope it withstands everything.

I exited my office room with just Bellamy's protection lingering in my mind. If something happens to her I would never forgive myself. Why was Luciano so confident? he knows about my capabilities, about my strengths yet he still chose to challenge me? Even If vampires or witches are helping he is still not that strong. If I come in my Lycan form, my Lycan will not just kill him but his entire army to shreds and I don't want to do that. It's been decades since I have last released my Lycan because I know how dangerous it can get. The darkness which creeps on me and makes me restless is because of my Lycan.

I was about to leave the castle when my mother stopped me. "Where are you going, son?" She asked with concern evident in her face. "I am going to save Bellamy," I said quickly.

"Alone? Its dangerous Vincentius!" She said with horror written on her face.

"Well, she is in danger! I have no time to talk right now! I need to go!" I told her and before she could protest I left the castle premises.

After four hours of an intense journey, I had finally stopped the car at the Southern Army Field. I got out of the car and the driver left. I started making my way to the field. There was no one. Not even a single soul.

"Luciano!" I roared. I knew my Lycan was clawing to come out because I felt my eye color change from blue to red.

"Come out you coward!" I yelled. I heard sounds of laughter. The sound that I want to end. I want to rip the tongue out of his mouth and feed it to the wolves. The laughter stopped. And then I heard the heart-shattering voice of her.

"Vincent!" I heard her scream that wrenched my heart in pain. Her voice was evidence of the torture, the pain that was inflicted on her.

"Save me, please," I heard her sob. "Come out you, rascal Luciano!" I roared. I could barely control the Lycan that wanted dominance.

"Your wish is my command, brother," I heard him say.
