The Alpha's Return
Chapter 66 - Healing Him

"So then, tell me. What the hell did the Marquess really offer you for you to betray me? What did she tell you, which lies did she spout for you to turn on your brothers and sisters? You better give me a good answer.", Lucas said with a low, and bone chilling voice.

"She lied to me. She said that she would make me the alpha of my own pack, and that I could control all of Manhattan myself. Why wouldn't I have refused that?", Peter said weakly.

"Tell me. What would that give you that you did not have before? What would all that power do to you, other than give you more stress? You really are an idiot. I want to kill you so badly, but you cannot die yet.", Lucas stood up.Â

He turned around and looked at the rest of the council members, who were looking at him with worried eyes.

"Now, I will heal you, and then I will let you see the pain that one will suffer to anger me so much.", Lucas told Peter. He then disappeared from where he was standing, and reappeared next to Eva.

"I need you to heal that bastard.", Lucas said with a cold voice.

"Do you-"

"I am not asking. It is taking a lot of effort within me to restrain myself. Do not disobey me, or the next time I ask you, it will be with my hands on your throat.", Lucas said coldly.

Eva shut her mouth instantly and nodded.

Eva walked over towards Peter silently, brisk walking to make sure not to anger Lucas any further.

"I thought you had it under control. But to threaten one of our own? You were clearly lying.", Praneeth said as he walked up to Lucas and put his hand on his shoulder from behind.

"I do not care about you. I care only about myself. I only became a part of the council because the gods would kill me otherwise. I am working to make sure that I don't get killed. Not that hard to understand, is it?", Lucas said.

"And who is saying this? Fenrir, or Lucas? Because the Lucas I knew, knows that he is not working with his life on the line. Why else would he be fine after taking a thirty year vacation? Why else would he be fine after all the shit that he pulled off?", Praneeth said.

"Shut up.", Lucas snorted as he walked away towards Peter.

Eva was crouching in front of Peter, and a green glow came from her hands.

"What stupid idiot brain do you have? Angering Lucas this much? You are a werewolf right? How the hell do you not know to not mess with your pack leader, especially when that pack leader is the red wolf?", Eva said as she was healing Peter.

"I could be the pack leader. Who would refuse that offer?", Peter said weakly.

"That might have worked if it was any other person. Any other werewolf. Even if it was Michael. But no. You had to choose Lucas. He is not even a true werewolf. He is just barely considered one. He isn't your average alpha. He is one of the first. He is even higher in the hierarchy than the bloody progenitor of werewolves.", Eva scoffed.

"Who is Lucas? Every one, even the Marquess said that he is not as weak as I know. But he was just a pack leader his whole life. Look at him. I know that he was in Brooklyn for the last thirty years. What did he achieve in that little time for him to become such a feared person?", Peter asked.

"I am not here to give you a history lesson. I am just here to heal you so that you will keep begging to die.", Eva said.

"Well said.", Lucas' voice came from behind Eva.

Eva shuddered. "Next time, give a warning before doing that.", she said.

"Don't worry. Why would I possibly kill you? It is just a precaution because lately, you have been very, very disobedient.", Lucas said with a smile on his face.

Eva did not say anything. She just continued to heal Peter.

"You know, you are a woman of many talents. You continue to amaze me everyday. But how the hell do you have the ability to heal a werewolf with so many varieties of wolfbane just stuffed within him?", Lucas asked.

"Never ask someone about their secrets. Something I learnt from you actually.", Eva said. She then held Lucas' hand.

"Claw out. I need a scalpel.", she said.

Lucas nodded, and a claw came out of his index finger. She pulled the hand towards Peter and slit a thin cut on his right arm, near the veins.

Slowly, black liquid started seeping out. Peter took a deep breath almost immediately. With every drop of black liquid that was falling out, his breaths became stronger and stronger.

"Ah! The wonders that come out of you. I really want to hire you. The gods got to you far too quickly.", Lucas shook his head.

"I would never work for you, even if the gods wanted me to.", Eva scoffed as she continued to drain the black liquid out of Peter.

Lucas smiled wryly. "Wow. This Marquess knows how to sedate a wolf alright. Who would have thought that she would even collect a little bit of sun's essence? That is rarer than the good stuff Michael gave me.", he suddenly exclaimed.

"You want me to extract it. Of course, I am going to take my cut.", Eva asked.

"You miser. Go ahead. I don't need money. I have more than enough stuff for myself. Besides, nothing in the world is more important to me right now, than the man who is sitting right in front of you. You better go away right now. He is about to suffer a fate that he forced upon his brothers.", Lucas said with a grim tone.
