Chapter 44: FORTY-FOUR
The banishment
Vivian and Ria entered Lucas’s room and went on their knees immediately. The only thing they
could pray for is that nothing happened to the master’s mate. Else, they were dead for sure.
Ria turned and gave Vivian a slap as soon as their knees touched the cold hard ground.
Vivian held her burning cheeks, and didn’t even wait to ask why she did what she did, she
proceeded to give three times as much as Ria did on her face and that was how the fight broke out
between the two ladies. By the time Lucas had entered, the two of them had almost ripped their clothes
off completely, giving each other bite marks and tugging at each other’s hairs with so much force that
made the other squeal.
The two of them stopped, panting immediately they spotted him.
“Look at the both you. No shame at all,” Lucas snarled. “You’re still fighting even after everything
that’s happened. None of you have even bothered to care about the lady you’d almost gotten killed.”
“I did care master, I swear it,” Ria persuaded. “It was Vivian that talked me into everything. I didn’t
have any bad intentions for Ava at all from the start.”
“She’s lying master, I didn’t do anything to persuade her. She…”
“Shut up! Both of you!” Lucas yelled, taking a deep breath as he let out the steam in his body with
the words.
A moment of silence, and then with a calmer voice, he continued, “why did you do it? After
everything I’ve done for you both, even Kiara, as honorable as she was, never had so much pleasure
from me like the both of you did, and yet she’d never think of such. I just want to know why you decided
to perform such wickedness.”
They looked at each other, and then, Vivian decided to go first.
“We thought we were losing you master; your mind had travelled elsewhere since the day you met
her. You were paying TOO much attention to her…”
“That’s not an excuse Vivian, she’s my mate, the amount of attention I decide to pay her is none of
your business. You do not decide to choose the time I should spend with any woman, even the time I
spend with you and Ria. I do.”
He turned to Ria, and “do you have anything to say before I pass my final judgement?”
Ria bent her head, letting out her grief through her words too.
“You took it out on us master, every time she hurt you, we were the ones that would suffer for it.
Ever since she came into your life, you began to hurt us, you began to derive your satisfaction by
causing us pain; something you’d never done to us before. All because of her… it was all because of
her you hurt us. She hurt you and then you hurt us more,” Ria cried. Now that the words had come out,
she truly wished Ava were dead. At least she would die with the satisfaction of knowing that she killed
that bitch herself. Bitches like that didn’t deserve to live.
For the first time in a long time, Lucas’s face mirrored surprise. Ria was right about the things she
said, but there was one tiny little detail she missed, they were all in an agreement.
“Ria.”
“Yes master.”
“Did you ever talk to me about it? Did you ever come to me and complain that I hurt you in ways I
shouldn’t have?”
“You wouldn’t have listened master, you…”
“That’s doesn’t answer my question Ria.”
Ria bent her head defeatedly. “No master.”
“I know you speak the truth Ria, and I am not shaming you for it at all. I just thought we’d have
enough closure for us to talk about the things we could handle and things we couldn’t during play. But
now, I see we don’t have that at all.” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“But mast…”
“I am sorry if drew pleasures from your body in ways I shouldn’t have, but that did NOT give you
the right to plan to take the life of an innocent woman who did nothing to deserve your cruelty.”
“Alpha Luc…”
“Even if you didn’t want to talk to me about it, if you’d just waited a little longer. Just a little bit
longer, if you’d have just let patience wipe the bitterness and hatred from your empty hearts just for a
while. … you would have had your master back. Ava was getting ready to leave and return to her
betrothed on the day you planned to kill her.”
Ria and Vivian turned look at each other in shock, unable to make anything of this realization.
Truly, they were ashamed of themselves and their actions.
“I am upset, truly upset not because you both turned out to be the culprits, but because the culprits
turned out to be people I hold dear to my heart. I hardly let people near me, not even my pack
members, but I let you both, and instead, you betrayed me; I will never forgive you for that.”
Tears were already streaming from Ria’s cheeks; she knew she shouldn’t have let this witch
kneeling beside her to convince her into trying to kill master’s mate. She closed her eyes and waited for
the next set of words about to proceed from Lucas’s mouth. It was time to accept things the way they
would be from now on.
“I hereby pronounce my judgement on you both; Vivian and Ria, Omegas of the Dawn pack. I will
spare your lives, but you are no longer welcome to stay here forever. You are hereby banished from the
dawn pack starting from this moment, and you are to leave immediately. If any of you, at any point in
time ever dares try to return here, I will kill you myself. Let it be so from this day.”
