Lc felt her head was throbbing painfully, but the pain on her back and arms had. decreased. It was


    almost bearable now, even though, she still felt ufortable with the bandages around her wound.


    She wanted to stretch her b*dy and turn around, but a hand stopped her from doing so.


    “Your back is still wounded, you can’ty on your back.” Hunter said in gentle.


    voice.


    Lc was not fully awake at this time, but hearing his voice and felt his firm and big palm, she felt


    comfortable enough. Slowly, she opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings, yet from her


    position, it was hard to see Hunter’s face, she could. only see lower b*dy.


    “Water… please…” Lc said, her throat was very dry, as if she just ate sands. Her voice hoarse and


    heavy.


    “Don’t turn your b*dy around,” Hunter reminded her before he got off the bed and then poured a ss


    of water for Lc.


    Very gently, Hunter cradled her b*dy, turned her around, but he held her on her shoulders, so her back


    didn’t touch the bed.


    Only then, Lc could see his expression and she was shocked to see how gloomy his face was, as if


    he just heard his whole family was being ughtered, if that was the right thing to say.


    “Drink slowly.” Hunter brought the ss to her l*ps and tipped it slightly, so she could drink the water.


    The liquid zed down her throat, moistened her parched l*ps and dry throat, This made Lc feel a lot


    better. She could breathe easily now and had more strength.


    “What happened?” Lc asked. “You look so scary.”


    Hunter stared at her. “How am I not?”


    Lc frowned.


    “You are hurt Lc. What do you expect? Do you really expect me tough and greet you with a


    ridiculous smile on my face?” Hunter sighed deeply, he knew it

    was wrong to vent out his frustration toward her, but he couldn’t help it.


    Not to mention that Rye had been telling him Ken demanded a meeting with him, but of course,


    Hunter denied him. He didn’t want to see him, because he knew what he was going to say about his


    daughter and Hunter didn’t have enough patient to hear his rumbling.


    He had a very short temper right now, which was not the right feeling to have when you have to face a


    confrontation, because the first thing that came to Hunter’s mind was how to kill his opponent. His


    bloodlust would go wild.


    “You are worried about me…” Lc stated, half in disbelieve, half feeling how funny it was.


    “I feel like I am going to kill someone.”


    Lc didn’t take serious for that statement, as she recalled what happened to her that night. “What


    happened to me? There was a woman…”


    “I know.” Hunter cut her statement short. He definitely knew.


    “Do you know her?” Lc saw his brows creased deeply, as if he was holding back his anger.


    “Yes.”


    “Your lover?”


    Hunter didn’t immediately answer her, but he kept silence for two second before. he blurted it out. “Had


    S** twice in the past, but I will not call her as a lover.”


    Lc’s eyes widened in shocked, as she pushed him away. “Get away from me!” she said fiercely, but


    then she whimpered when her back was killing her. How he could say such thing easily?!


    And then what? He already deflowered another woman? How he could tell her that she was the one he


    wanted to be his woman when he already gave himself to different woman?


    “You should be ashamed of yourself!” Lc was very agitated, which was not good for her back.


    “You need to calm down Lc, or else, your wounds will reopen again.”


    “I can understand why she wanted to kill me.” Lc felt the same thing too with Ruby, she wanted to kill


    that woman, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so.

    However, that woman really had the intention and determination to end her life, yet here Lc was;


    feeling a pity for her after what Hunter had admitted to her.


    “Here we go again with the difference of tradition between our kind,” Hunter said in helpless and


    annoyed tone.


    “We are too different, maybe that’s why we are not meant for each other!” Lc pushed him away and


    her back hit the bed, which made her shrieked. Hunter immediately turned her b*dy around again and


    laid her on her stomach. She hated her condition right now, where she relied on him.


    “Silly.”


    “I am not silly!” Lc growled at him. “I can understand why she is angry with you, you have slept with


    her and now you don’t even want to take responsibility of your action. Don’t you understand how


    important it is for a woman to keep their virtue until they found their own mate and they surrender


    themselves to each other?”


    “Like what your ex destined mate did?” Hunter raised his brows, his tone was clearly mocking, which


    made Lc bit her l*p, she was angry, but she couldn’t find a way to retort to that.


    “That’s why I rejected him.”


    “Do you want to reject me now?”


    Hunter couldn’t believe his bad luck,st night he thought their rtionship could improve, but because


    of Grace they had this set back, very far even.


    “And for the record, I didn’t deflower her, okay? Someone else did it. Not me.” Hunter saw the


    disbelieve in Lc’s eyes. “She had been with countless men before

    she slept with my beta before me.”


    me,


    Lc was surprised when she heard that.


    “Here, us as a lycan, we didn’t save ourselves like you, werewolf, did. But, when we chose our woman,


    we will be loyal to our other half even when death tear us apart. That’s how things work here.” Hunter’s


    voice was firm, indicating he was saying the truth, how serious he was at this moment.
