Chapter 69

69 Go Back With Me

Landon lay his head weakly on the ground. His caramel-brown eyes were full of accusations.

It is all your fault that I became like this.

Look at what I have gone through.

I suffered so much... Ronan...

Beowulf gave Landon a playful bite and nudged the latter’s muzzle with his own. Landon whimpered. He wanted to stand up but Beowulf was still pinning him down with his weight.

Landon licked at Beowulf’s face a few times to coax him to get up from his body. Eventually, once Beowulf felt that Landon was not going to run away anymore, he got up and Landon scrambled to his feet.

The two wolves stared at each other. Beowulf nuzzled against Landon’s neck, asking for some love. Landon opened his mouth and gave Beowulf a gentle bite on his neck.

Beowulf jumped at Landon in retaliation. The latter landed on his back and Beowulf showered him with kisses. The two wolves rolled around the ground and exchanged affectionate kisses and bites.

‘Beowulf,’ Ronan’s voice rang out in Beowulf’s head.

.....

‘What?’

‘Get Landon to return to Lucien’s body.’

‘No,’ Beowulf refused Ronan without skipping a beat.

Ronan sighed.

‘B... Lucien has been out for three days without human food and water. He hasn’t transformed for a while. His body must reject whatever Landon tries to eat. At this point, both of them will die.’

‘...’

Beowulf continued rolling around with Landon, ignoring Ronan completely.

‘BEOWULF!’ Ronan angrily shouted. ‘Get him to return to his human form, NOW!’

‘FINE!’ Beowulf shouted back. ‘You didn’t have to yell, geez...’

Beowulf nudged at Landon a few times and the latter stared at him. A low growl escaped Beowulf’s throat when Landon refused to do what he wanted. Landon turned away from Beowulf. He was a tougher nut to crack than Beowulf. Unfortunately only Beowulf could coax him right now so Ronan had to be patient.

Landon barked at Beowulf when the latter became too annoying. Beowulf had to act meek to win over his lover again.

‘Ronan, he doesn’t want to,’ Beowulf reported.

Ronan was about to get out of his mind.

‘This is not negotiable. He is already very weak. He cannot survive if Lucien dies.’

‘I know, but... Ronan, Landon is even more stubborn than Lucien. Besides, Lucien has completely given up.’

‘...’

Ronan bit his lips. Beowulf was not wrong. Landon did invade Lucien’s body, but Lucien was still the master of the body. If he wanted to, he could fight against Landon’s consciousness and suppress him. Lucien was stuck in a wolf body because he did not want to fight Landon. He basically gave Landon full control over his body.

‘This won’t do. I will talk to him.’

‘What...? But...’

Beowulf’s protests disappeared as the giant black wolf transformed into a naked Ronan. Landon narrowed his eyes at Ronan and growled at him.

“Landon, come.”

Ronan stretched out his arms and beckoned the wolf to come to him.

“Come to me, Landon.”

The wolf snorted but he eventually trotted lazily toward Ronan.

“Good boy,” Ronan placed a kiss on Landon’s forehead affectionately. He pulled Landon to the ground and let it lay its big head on his lap.

“Landon, release Lucien, please.”

The wolf blinked a few times but otherwise ignored his plea. Ronan did not give up. His fingers traveled across Landon’s fluffy fur and gently rubbed his belly. The belly rubs caused Landon to whimper from pleasure.

“I know that I messed up.

I know that I let both of you down.

But I beg you, please give me another chance. I want us all to be happy again together.”

Landon gave Ronan a look and snorted.

He almost sounded like Lucien when he scoffed.

“Please?” Ronan begged again.

“I love Lucien. I do.”

Landon snorted again.

Ronan swallowed hard. Why was it that it was so much easier to convince someone of hatred than love? Of course he had been a despicable ass to Lucien, but this time he truly just wanted to save Lucien’s life.

“Please, Landon.”

That was all Ronan could do. Begging Landon for Lucien’s life.

“I know that you also want him back. If this continues, the both of you will die.”

Landon closed his eyes and grunted.

“Hey... Hey, listen to me. Landon...”

Ronan pulled Landon into his arms.

“Let’s give it another try, okay? This time, we will be together. I will never ever leave you again.”

Landon turned his head and licked at Ronan’s belly. Then he went lower and his tongue scraped against Ronan’s manhood. The sensation of having a beast licking his organs was enough to make Ronan’s blood freeze in his veins.

It was almost as if Landon was saying, “If you lie then I am going to cut your penis off.”

Landon stood up and wagged his tail around. He turned to face Ronan and gave him a stern look. And then, he transformed. The brown-red form collapsed into a naked man who shared the same hair color.

Lucien Clearwater lay on the grass, his face pale and his lips bloodless.

Ronan sighed out of relief.

He quickly approached Lucien and lifted the man’s upper body into his arms.

“Lulu? Lulu, can you hear me?”

He could not.

Lucien’s eyes were shut tightly and he was barely breathing.

Ronan put one of Lucien’s arms around his own neck and lifted the lifeless body in his arms. He walked as fast as possible toward the entrance of the Alpha Camp, where his car and driver were already waiting for him.

Although their goal was indeed to find Lucien Clearwater, Noah could not help but gape when he saw the naked Alpha walking out of the woods with an equally naked Lucien in his arms.

He quickly grabbed a thick, fluffy blanket and helped Ronan swaddle Lucien in it to keep him warm. After that, he gave Ronan another blanket.

“Alpha, for you.”

“To the hospital. Now,” Ronan ordered after taking the blanket from Noah’s hands.
