Fated is overrated
Chapter 141

Lola

POV

I give him no breathing room to get up though. I lunge at his neck and bite down. The skin here is so hard I can feel the enormous pressure on my teeth, but I manage to penetrate regardless. Any normal wolf or Lycan biting a dragon would be futile, but I am no normal wolf. I can control the elements. I infuse my bite with some ice, not enough to kill, just enough to hurt him and get him to shift back.

Right before he does, I see Zeke and Zane's Lycans running towards us. I thought there was an invisible sort of wall separating them? Steroids shifts back to his human form unwillingly, and I shift back as well.

I want him to show who he's f*cking with, and that even in human form I will f*ck him up. I pin him to the ground while he is still dazed. I twist his arms behind his back and yell "SURRENDER!". He doesn't, and flips us over so his full weight is pressing on me. He is a heavy man that's for sure.

And unfortunately, we are both stark naked. I flip us over again, and this time, I wrap my legs around his upper legs, incapacitating them. I growl viciously and, to my surprise, I hear Zeke and Zane growling loudly next to me as well.

I look up and see they are both in front of us, right next to Lucian's head, looking at me as if waiting for my signal to say they may finish him off. But I'm not.

I should. Goddess knows why I am sparing him. But, seeing them come to my aid gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I didn't need their support, but it's nice knowing they would, even after I was so brutal to them earlier.

"Stand down, guys" I tell them. They tilt their heads to the side in confusion, but they can't speak in Lycan form. I tighten my grip around steroid's arms and remove 1 hand to wrap it around his neck. "This is your last chance, SUBMIT" I whisper yell to him. I feel him trying to thrash, but it's futile in this state.

"Fine. I submit" he grits out, and his body stops struggling. "Louder, everyone needs to hear" I whisper to him, containing the smirk that is wanting to escape my lips.

He remains silent, so I squeeze his airway a little tighter. He coughs and gasps for air, before finally yelling "I SUBMIT" reluctantly. I remove the arm that is choking him, and move to stand up. Zeke and Zane's Lycans move to stand next to me immediately. Whether it is to protect me, or block everyone's view of my naked body, I'm not sure.

Perhaps it's both. "MAY THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL WHO WISH TO PROVOKE ME OR CAUSE HARM TO INNOCENT PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH UNDESERVING, I AM MERCIFUL TO THIS MAN. NEXT TIME, MR. WALKER WON'T BE SO LUCKY".

I start walking towards the entry of the castle, I need another dress unfortunately as my beautiful dress got ripped to shreds because of this douchebag. Before I have even reached halfway, Damon tosses me his shirt, which I eagerly pull over my head swiftly. Nudity is common among shifters, but I still prefer not to be naked in front of so many people.

"Let's get you inside" my father says with a worried expression on his face, while wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I pat his hand reassuringly, before replying "you both stay here and make sure nothing bad happens, link me if anything does.

I will only be a minute, I only need to get another dress". They both look at me horrified, reluctant to let me go. I chuckle "I'm fine, I swear. Make sure that piece of sh*t doesn't hurt anyone while I'm gone". And with that, I walk off. Despite what just happened, I feel a lot lighter, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders

. And I'm just glad I don't have to walk past hundreds of people completely nude. When I reach the front of the castle, away from the crowd, I hear someone calling my name. I turn around to see Zeke and Zane jogging towards me in nothing but shorts.

Their firm bulky legs, bulky chest and abs to die for are all on display. Not to mention their muscular arms, which could put almost any man to shame. Their face is a different story however. Their hair is disheveled and their eyes are red and swollen. They look so defeated. And have they... been crying?

They are within arm's reach now, their eyes averted to the ground, when Zeke speaks up. "We are so sorry, for everything Lola. We are sorry for how we treated you, and we are sorry for not respecting your wishes to be separated from us.

We will always love you, but we will give you the closure you deserve". "We really hope you replace your happiness, Lola", Zane adds, both their voices are cracking. Are they about to do, what I think they are about to do?
