                            Lucious

After the long ride back here, I pull into the driveway, getting out the car.

I mind link the healer, telling her that I have the herbs that she needs as I walk into the house.

I head up the stairs with the bag of herbs, going up to the room where I find Lisa sleeping. I look at her for a second, watching her as she sleeps.

I kept my promise to her. I didn't kill anyone, but I wasn't just going to walk away knowing that pack had the herbs that mother needs.

I look away from her and head into the bathroom to take a quick shower to clean off the blood.

After I clean off the blood, I get dressed and head into the room with my mother to wait for the healer.

I stand here next to the bed, looking down at my mother. I frown knowing these herbs are the last thing to help her. If these herbs don't work, then she won't last much longer.

My jaws clench down, thinking about this. These herbs have to help her. Tilda and I can't lose her too.

After a couple of minutes pass, the healer walks into the room carrying her bag. The healer comes over to the bed and starts to take out more jars of herbs out the bag. I give her the bag of herbs and watch as she starts to grind them up, measuring and mixing them with other herbs.

"Lucious." I look back at the door, seeing Lisa standing there in one of my long shirts. "Did they give you the herbs?" She asks, walking over to me looking over at the healer as she continues to grind up herbs.

"Yes," I tell her, knowing they didn't give them to me out of kindness. I had to force them to give me the herbs. None of that would have happened if they were just decent people and gave me the herbs to help my mother.

She gives me a slight smile, hooking her arm around mine as she leans into the side of my body, looking down at mother.

Once the healer finishes grinding the herbs, she adds some kind of liquid and starts to stir it all together.

After mixing the herbs, she grabs a syringe out of the bag, filling it with the liquid from the herbs being stirred together.

I watch as the healer ties a band around mother's arm, exposing a vine. She carefully pushes the needle into mother's arm, injecting the liquid into her, before pulling the needle out and unwrapping the band from around her arm.

I stand here for a few minutes waiting for something to happen, but nothing does.

"Is it not working?" I frown looking over at the healer.

"Give it a bit of time to enter her system." She tells me.

I stand here waiting for about twenty more minutes and nothing has happened. I'm sure it has had enough time to enter her system.

My jaws clench, seeing that it's not working. Starting to give up hope, my jaws clench. As I go to say something I stop when I see mother's facial bones slowly start to reform as her body starts to shift. "It's working," I say, watching her slow shift.

"We can't be sure yet, we have to wait until she's completely shifted to see if her wolf will be responsive or unresponsive like she were." The healer says as we watch mother's body slowly shift into her wolf.

Once she's completely shifted, her wolf lay there underneath the cover, not moving.

"Mother," I call out to her pulling the cover off her, revealing her large bony wolf. I reach out touch her as I call out to her again, but this time I get a low whimper from her as her eyes slowly open.

"Get her warm water and raw ground beef. She'll need to start eating immediately." The healer says as she starts to flash a light, checking mother's eyes.

"I'll get it," Lisa says, leaving the room.

I kneel down next to the bed, rubbing mother's wolf as she continues to lowly whimpers.

"Mother?" I call out to her through the mind link, but get no responses, letting me know that it's only her wolf and not her. But I'll take her wolf over her dying.

Mother wolf looks at me, barely able to keep her eyes open. I continue to gently rub my hand over her fur as she whimpers.

"She's very weak, she'll need to get her strength back before she's able to move." The healer tells me.

"Mother," Tilda calls out to her with watery eyes, coming over to the bed placing her hand on mother muzzle.

"It's only her wolf for now," I tell Tilda.

Tilda starts to sob as she rubs mother's wolf. "You're g-going to be okay mother, we're not going to let y-you die." She tells mother as she cries.

I reach over and place my hand on Tilda back. Mother is going to come back to us, she just needs time.

After a couple of minutes pass, Lisa walks back into the room with a bowl of water and the raw meat.

Tilda let out a low growl, glaring over at Lisa as she walks into the room. Lisa glance over at Tilda, but ignore her as she brings the water and meat over to me.

"Thank you," I tell her, taking the bowls from her hand.

She gives me a nod, glancing over at mother as she whimpers, before turning leaving out the room.

"It's been a while since she actually ate anything. This will help her body take and digest the food easier." The healer takes the bowl of meat from me and sprinkles a white powder substance over the raw ground beef, before starting to mix the meat around with her hand.

"Your mother wolf recognizes the two of you as her pups, so it would be easier for her to accept the food from both of your hands." The healer hand my back the bowl of raw meat.

Listening to the healer, I reach into the bowl and scoop up a bit of the meat into my hand, before handing Tilda the bowl.

I bring the meat to mother's mouth, but she doesn't move to eat it. Instead, she whimpers, slightly moving her head away.

"It's okay mother," I say to her lowly as I start to gently rub her again, trying to calm her. "This will make you better, we want for you to get better," I tell her, bringing the meat closer to her mouth.

This time she doesn't move away. She sniffs the meat in my hand a few times, before taking it.

I smile a little, seeing her eat, knowing she'll start to get better now.

Tilda and I sit here with mother, feeding her from our hands until all the meat in the bowl is gone. Not long after all the meat is gone, mother's wolf closes her eyes to rest.

I leave the room and head to our bedroom where I find Lisa standing at the mirror brushing her hair.

"How is your mother?" She asks, looking at me behind her through the mirror as I take a seat on the bed.

"Her wolf is weak, but her wolf is now able to feed," I say, watching her as she brushes her hair. I eyes move down my shirt that she's wearing, watching how it hangs loosely down to her bare thighs.

I look away as my beast pushes forward wanting me to take and mark what belongs to us. I can feel the pull of the bond growing. Lately, I've been feeling a stronger urge to mate and mark her, but now isn't the right time to do these things. I have other things that I need to focus on.

I let out a sigh as I roll my shoulder, feeling stiff from the long ride to the mountain pack and back.

"You look tired." She put her hair into a bun, before turning around, looking at me sitting on the bed.

"I'm fine, I'm just a bit stiff from sitting in the car for hours straight." I roll my shoulder again, reaching up rubbing the side of my neck, trying to loosen my stiffened muscles.

"I can help with that." She walks over and climbs onto the bed behind me. She places her hands on my shoulders and gently starts to massage my stiff muscles.

I let out a sigh of pleasure, feeling her fingers rub and dig at my stiff muscles. I get those pleasurable tingles every time her fingers brush up against my neck as she massages my shoulders.

My eyes close as my body relax under her touch. I can feel her breath against the back of my neck, stirring the beast up inside of me.

I sit here enjoying her touch but craving more as each second passes.

My eyes open when she finally removes her hands from my shoulders.

"How's that?" She asks.

I roll my shoulders, not feeling as stiff as before. "It's better," I tell her.

She gives my shoulder one last rub before getting off the bed.

Missing the feeling of her hands against my body, I reach out and grab her hand as she starts to walk back over towards the mirror. I pull her back towards me so that she's standing between my legs.

She reaches out, placing her hand against the side of my face, causing me to slightly lean into her touch. "I missed you," I tell her, reaching out placing my hands on her hips.

I was gone for nearly two days. Half of the time I was thinking about her, wondering what she was doing or if she was thinking about me the way I was thinking about her.

She leans in, pressing her lips against mines. my lips move against her soft lips gently. I lightly lick her lips, asking for the access that she gives me.

The kiss deepens, enjoying the taste of her lips. She climbs onto my lap, straddling me as she starts to place kisses along the side of my neck

I can smell the sweet scent of her arousal in the air, only making this want I have for her to grow stronger.

My hands slowly making their way up her thighs, going underneath my shirt that she's wearing, feeling the soft fabric of her panties. Losing myself to the strong pull, my eyes roll into the back of my head as I lean my head over a bit, giving her better access as she continues to kiss and suck on my neck.

Her hand moves down my body, going into my pants, gripping my hard member, causing it to throb inside of my pants.

Feeling her sharp elongated teeth scrape against my neck where she will mark me, I snap me out of this trance, and my eyes open, knowing she wants to mark me.

I lean away a bit as I reach down grabbing her hand, taking it out of my pants.

"What's wrong?" She frowns a little, looking at me.

"I can't do this right now?" I tell her, looking at her sitting on my lap.

"Why not? Why do you always stop? Do you not want me in this way?" Her frown deepens.

"I do." It's extremely difficult for me to fight the pull I feel towards her. My instincts are screaming at me to take and have what's mine, but now isn't the time.

"Then what's the problem Lucious." She asks.

I frown a little, looking away from her, thinking about the reason for this. "I don't want to mark you now. I can't let us being bonded distract me from getting the revenge for my people." I look back at her sitting on my lap, watching as the frown on her face deepens.

She looks at me for a second, before getting off my lap. She walks over and starts to put her hair supplies into the bag, a bit roughly. I can see that she's not happy with what I just said.

"I'm not trying to start an argument with you about this Lucious, but things seem to be getting a bit better here. I thought maybe you decided to let this plot for revenge go." She tells me, zipping the bag up roughly.

"I'm not just going to simply let this go." I frown looking over at her. I'm not just going to let them get away with what they have done.

"You're going to get yourself killed Lucious." She doesn't look over at me as she grabs her supply bag and takes it over to where she keeps it.

"I'm not going to get killed." I let out a low growl, not liking how she's insinuating that her people will kill me.

"I'm sure that's exactly what everyone that has been killed thought before being killed." She walks into the bathroom, closing the door behind her, turning on the shower.
