The Lycan king-Chapter 47

*Leonora*

I gasped as Luke walked up to us. I didn’t think anyone followed me, especially Luke. I had left him in the room lying down. How did he think to follow me?

I had so many questions I wanted to ask him but I didn’t want to get in the middle of their stare of.

"Leo, stay away from this monster." Jax said and I scoffed. Who was he to call someone a monster? He had done so much to me and still called someone he banished a monster. "Leo, come home. Please." Jax said as he held my hand, pulling me towards his back but I pulled my hand away from him.

"You can’t force her to do what she doesn’t want to. She’s her own person, baby brother." Luke spat out as he walked closer. I stood in between the both of them, trying to separate both of them from fighting. I didn’t think this was how their reunion was going to be. There was so much tension between the both of them.

"Leo, come home." He ordered and I rolled my eyes. He looked down at me and his expression changed. His eyes softened and I watched as realization set in that I wasn’t going to follow him home. "Leo."

"I’m not going anywhere with you. I just came to say one last good bye." I lied. If Luke hadn’t shown up and Jax had asked me to go back into the mansion with him, I would have agreed. I would have skipped. The image of Jax hugging Claire filled my mind and I scoffed. No I don’t think I would have followed him back inside. Not when he and Claire were cozying up together.

"We’re going to come and take over your pack. I’ll be the King, as I rightfully deserve to be, with Leonora by my side as my Queen." Luke said as he took a step closer. Jax clenched his fists and his jaw. I’ve never seen Jax glare at anyone like this before. It was like I was looking at another person standing beside me. "You rejected someone like her? How stupid could you be, Jax? You’re letting that stupid girl cloud your mind right? At least it worked in my favor. You pushed Leonora into my arms."

"You two stop it!" I shouted causing both of them to look at me. "Luke, we’re going back now. Jax, maybe in another life." With that, I took Luke’s hand and pulled him away from Jax and we began our walk to our pack. I looked back and I saw Jax staring at us. There was only so much he could do. Imagine finding out your banished brother and rejected mate had hanged up and planned to take over your pack. Jax was eerily calm for someone with anger issues.

When we got to the cliff, Luke stopped walking and pulled me over to a tree, where no one could see us. "Are you fucking stupid?" He asked as he pushed me up against the tree. "Something told me you were going to do something strange and I followed you. So that’s how you would’ve run back into Jax’s arms? Because you’re desperate for his dick." He hands snaked its way over to my neck and he squeezed my neck choking me. "I heard you liked being choked." He whispered in my ear as he kissed my neck. I coughed and tried to pull his hands off me.

"Luke, you’re hurting me." I begged as I tried to pull his hands off me. "L-Luke please." I felt tears gather in my eyes and he slightly freed my neck, giving me a little bit of space to breathe.

"I should just mark you here and now." He said as he kissed his way down to my collarbone. "But I’m not like Jax. I would never hurt you. Do you understand that?" He asked as his hands free hand groped my breasts in his big hands. "I would never hurt you." He chanted as he kissed his way back to my ear. My body was frozen and I didn’t know what to say. This was Luke, the man who had taken care of me for the past three days. "I would never hurt you." He said as his lips found mine and I pursed my lips not wanting to kiss him. He pulled away and a tear dropped from my eyes. He took his hands away from my body before taking a step back. "I would never ever hurt you, I promise but Jax? He deserves what’s coming for him." He said as he grabbed my hand and continued pulling me towards the pack.

Immediately I got to the hut, I walked over to the furtherest part of the room and sat on the floor, wrapped my arms around my folded knees.

"Leonora, come to bed." He said and the tears fell from my eyes. I should have gone with Jax. I should have followed Jax home. Jax wouldn’t have done that to me. He wouldn’t have violated me like that. I felt irritated with my body. I wanted to scrub my skin away.

I was so stupid. Stupid to think that Luke was better than Jax. I made a stupid mistake and I needed to go back to Jax as soon as I can. The longer I stayed here, I don’t know what Luke had in store for me. I was scared of what next he might do to me. Would he force me to have sex with him?

Jax wouldn’t have touched me like that. Jax never forced me to do anything I didn’t want and if he tried to, he always stopped when he noticed I wasn’t interested.

I wanted to go back to Jax. I wanted him to hold me and comfort me. I wanted him to tell me how sorry he was and I should come back home. I’d don’t want to stay here anymore. I didn’t want to be around Luke.

Between Jax and Luke, I couldn’t even differentiate who was the real monster.
