Amoux's point of view
I stopped after I heard what the Lycan said. He wanted me to choose between Leah and the throne. I can't believe he dares to threaten me; I am his only son. I am his successor!
Lycan went closer to me; we were looking eye to eye with each other. He tapped my shoulder gently.
“I know you won't choose to disappoint me, Amoux. Even if you decide to be with Leah, I will ensure you won't be happy with her. She wasn't the one for you; she's the daughter of those traitors I loathed.”
“I told Alpha Joe we will continue the wedding, and Anaya will be here after two months. I want you to bond with Anaya; she's a great woman.”
“Lycan, with due a lot of respect, I want to ask why did you think that Anaya was greater than Leah? Maybe, she's an Alpha female, but she didn't even do anything to prove that she's worth being Luna.” I sighed in relief when Damon inquired about the Lycan announcement. I am too thankful that Damon was beside me. If Damon and I weren't still fine with each other, I might not know what to do anymore.
“Damon, I know you like Leah so much. I still recall that you talked to me about being her husband. If you were in Amoux's shoes, who would you choose?” Lycan's voice was too strict as if he was giving him the warning to choose wisely.
“I will choose Leah. She was better than Anaya; she was the most amazing woman I had ever met. Leah might be an Omega here in the Nightwalker, but we can't change the fact that she led the three packs that you obsess too much.” Lycan looked furious at what Damon replied; he was too fast, and I was shocked when he was in front of Damon within a second and strangled him.
“I AM THE LYCAN KING OF THE WEREWOLVES, AND YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!” Lycan growled, and he raised Damon using one hand. My heart thumped fast when I saw Damon was trying to save himself.
I panicked when Damon tried to move, to be freed from Lycan's hand. But, Lycan was too persistent in giving him a lesson.
“Lycan, stop that! Damon might die because of what you're doing.” I exclaimed, then ran to Lycan, but he pushed me hard, throwing me into the wall. I groaned when I felt my back ache.
“HECTOR! What are you doing?” Luna hurried to the Lycan; she was alarmed when she saw how antagonistic her mate was. Lycan's eyes turned red, and I even saw his canines.
“What is happening here? Ahh–-Damon!” Uncle William went to the Lycan; I can't believe he was worried about his son.
Lycan put Damon down, but Damon was coughing too loud. His face was red; Uncle William immediately hid Damon on his back. His eyes were ruddy, like he was prepared to blast the Lycan for harming his son.
“Don't you dare touch my son!” Uncle William roared like a Lion.
“Stop this; you all don't need to fight!” Luna howled, then she turned to Lycan, who looked soothing while gazing at Luna.
“Amoux, are you alright? Does your father do this to you?” I flinched when I felt my back ache again. I can't believe that the Lycan just tossed me into the wall like a piece of paper.
I didn't answer, but Luna helped me get out inside the Lycan's office. Uncle William held Damon, but he had a stern face.
“What did you do this time, Damon? Aren't you scared that Hector will kill you?” Damon looks mad that his father started nagging at him.
“Uncle, it's not Damon's fault. Please don't be mad at him.” Uncle William sighed; he was trying to calm himself.
“Amoux, I know you and Damon were okay, but please, I don't want him to get into trouble. Hector is my brother, but I won't tolerate this shit that he did to my son.” Damon was surprised by his father's action, even though I was stunned by how Uncle William was anxious for Damon.
“Daddy, Amoux wasn't the one to blame.” Uncle William departed us, but Damon was gawking Uncle William, walking away with us.
“Damon, I can't believe Uncle William was too worried about you.” But Damon wasn't happy with how his father did. His face turned sour, but his sights were sharp.
“We should start planning to get the book. We need to discover what happened: your father's reactions seem too hard to accept. He's overreacting about Leah.”
“He hated Leah so much that he wanted you to wed with Anaya. I think he knew from the start that you were destined for Leah.” Damon added, making me pause when we started walking.
“How can you be sure about that, Damon? I didn't even know that Leah was my mate.” My forehead furrows; I don't think that Lycan knew it. If he knows, how?
“Amoux, I know you wanted the throne so bad. But what about Leah? Do you love her?”
“She's my mate.” I was embarrassed to confess it in front of Damon because I knew he would poke fun at me.
“I know she's your mate, but I am raising a question with you if you love her. Are you ready to sacrifice your throne? What if Leah won't accept you, but you didn't achieve the throne?”
“Are you telling me to sacrifice my love for Leah? I thought you'd be the one who would support me in being with Leah. What's the sudden change of mind?”
“I wanted you to choose whatever you want. But I remind you that once you decide, there's no turning back. I'm more concerned about you and Leah. Lycan won't let you have your happy ending with your mate.”
“Then, do I need to kill my father?”
“Can you do that? Amoux, as long as you were alive, he was still the Lycan King. I don't care if you get mad at me, but your father prefers to control you.”
After that night, we almost roamed around at the Nightwalker. We did everything not to want them to doubt us. I feel like I was betraying my family for Leah. But I need to know the truth.
“Lycan won't be here again. He will go to your father-in-law.” I glared at Damon when he chuckled at me. What's funny?
“Let's meet at the back of the Nightwalker. Please, don't forget to use the potion to hide our smell.” I nodded, and I waited inside my room. I was staring at the clock, waiting for midnight to come.
“Amoux, Lycan was still in the Nightwalker. Let's wait for him to leave the pack.” After I heard Damon's voice using the mind link, I quickly told him I was awake and still waiting like him.
I was nervous and thought that if Lycan learned what we were planning. I was too eager to know everything in the book. Why was my father behaving like this?
“Amoux, let's go! Use the window to come out of the pack.” I ran towards the door, then locked it. I sprayed the potion to hide my smell, then got the black coat I used whenever I wanted to jog.
Minutes passed, and I saw Damon waiting for me. He was at the top of the branch of the tree. I climbed to the tree and went to him.
“What are you doing here?”
“I think I saw a ghost.”
“It's not funny, Damon. You're an adult, and you still believe in ghosts. Are you fucking with me?”
“Yikes, I don't want to fuck you, dude. Even if you beg me, I won't do that.” Damon and I started running towards the tiny house where Leah went to live. I remembered how I first saw Leah here.
“Let's go. We need to find that book quickly.” We entered the tiny house, and it looked like once I jumped, it would break so easily.
“Woah, it's Leah.” I thought Damon saw Leah in the house, but it's not. We see a picture frame; it's Richelle and Leah. I took the picture frame and then stared at Leah's face
“Does Richelle treat Leah as her daughter?” I shook my head since I didn't know what to say. Richelle was the one who taught Leah to use herbs. We continued going to the small garden that Leah was talking about. I scratched my forehead when all I saw were the plants.
“I don't even think that Richelle has a husband. But she looked beautiful when she was young.”
“Damon, Richelle was dead; if you like her, please calm your dick.”
“Fucker!” Damon went to the other side of the mini garden while I was the opposite. We're busy too; find a secret way when we hear a footstep. We immediately hid in the big tree and then hid.
I saw Luna was with someone, but it was not the Lycan. What is Luna doing here? And who's the man that she's with tonight? Does the Lycan know it?
“Luna, we shouldn't go here. I don't want anyone to suspect me about Richelle.”
“Richelle was dead. You don't need to worry because my husband forgot about her.”
“I know, but I want to make sure. You know what the Lycan can do for that woman.”
“That bitch was dead. And I was happy that she finally died slowly.” I was surprised by Luna's attitude. She looks like a different person.
“The disease was fascinating. Indeed, the healer can even detect the disease in her body.”
What is the meaning of this? Does my mother work with the hunters? I think she knows more about the disease.
Luna was walking away with the man. Damon looked at me, but his face was mad.
“Is it true that your mother works with the hunters, but why?” I don't know the answer either, but I am hoping that the book has everything that we need.
We began the search for the book; I was surprised when I saw a narrow way. We entered, then I saw the big leaf logo on the wall. What is this place? But I turned around, and I saw a big book, it was glowing
