Fated To The Lycan Brothers
Chapter 70

Suri Nightingale

Jesus Christ, my head felt like it was being hammered continuously and I could barely breathe, fear and anxiety drowning me and I was hyperventilating like crazy.

"Oh, look. The little rich b***h is awake." I heard a deep and harsh voice next to me and when I turned my head, a slap hit my face and it was so strong it made my body vibrate in pain.

It stung so hard that it felt like my face was lit on fire. f**k. This was going to bruise real bad.

My entire body froze and my eyes shot wide open when one of the scary-looking men moved to stand in front of me. Now that he was standing closer to me, I could see the straight scar on his left eye. It was terrifying. He looked straight out of a horror movie.

He pulled out a knife and that was when my fight or flight instinct kicked in. I began to scream and shout, as well as kicking and moving my arms around, but it was no use. The two men holding me down were much bigger and obviously stronger so no matter how much I fought it, I would just be delaying the inevitable.

I spat on the man's face because it was the only thing I could do.

"You're f*****g pathetic. You're all ten times my size yet you gang up on me. Don't you have any dignity? Any shame?" I said, taunting the assholes.

And I know this isn't entirely a good idea, but if I'm going to die tonight, I might as well do it with some big balls. If I can't fight them off physically, I can do it verbally.

f**k them and their miniscule dicks.

A terrifying grin curved up scar face's lips and then he lifted up his knife to my cheek. The blade was cold and it ran shivers down my spine.

"Stupid b***h. That other rich girl did say you had a dirty mouth. What was her name, boys?" He glanced around his men.

"Raquel? The drug lord's daughter?" One of them said.

"No, the other one. The hot b***h with red hair."

"Ah, Micaela. Yeah, didn't imagine a supreme court's daughter to be as feisty as her, but f*****g hell, I'd tap that over and over."

I shuddered at their crude words. Grown a*s men fantasizing over teenage girls. Granted, the girls were not so innocent if they planned this, but still. I just don't understand how they became related to this, to Anderson and his filthy no-dignity men. F**k.

I tried to mask the fear on my face when scar face pushed the blade harder on my skin. Hard enough to send a message, but light enough to not scar me. He wanted me to know he was in control.

It was exactly how Anderson used to do before when he would threaten me about the money he still claimed my mom stole. He would use his blade and run it down my face.

Wait a second. Were they related?

"My stupid brother shouldn't have come here alone, and I don't know how the hell you managed to land him in the hospital, paralyzed from head to toe, but I'm here for f*****g payback." s**t. They are related.

Somebody put their hand on my throat and snapped my head to turn to them. I was met with brown eyes drilling into mine. Half of his face was filled with tattoos, and the other wasn't, as if his tattoo artist ran out of ink. It looked weird as hell, but not the priority here, Suri!

"Those rich girls that found us because of the connection we had to the underground drug market said we just needed to scare you a little bit so that you would run away, but I think that's not enough. I think we should go all the way. Don't you think, guys?" Oh, god. What the hell did they mean by that? Were they-

My question was answered when the blade on my face moved to one of the straps on my dress and he cut it in a millisecond.

I panicked even more.

"Let me go!" I screamed, the tears that I had been trying to stop from falling were now threatening to spill out of me.

f**k. f**k. f**k. Please, no. No! They can hurt me all they want, kill me even, but I won't let them touch me! Not like that!

"Aw, little rich b***h finally cries. Where's the tough girl you were trying to convey earlier now, huh?" Scar face mocked me and I took that opportunity of him being closer to my face to headbutt him.

I used up a lot of strength I had no idea I had and though the pain on my forehead was immense, I felt proud of myself when I saw that I broke his nose.

"f**k you, disgusting pig. f**k all of you and I hope you all rot in hell." I said through gritted teeth as the tears began to fall down.

Scar face gripped onto my neck and began to cut my oxygen. "Stupid b***h. We're already in hell."

He cut the other strap of my dress and I closed my eyes, unable to face what was going to happen to me.

"Don't worry. We'll make sure to be gentle." He mocked and the other men laughed and the sound traveled all the way to the pit of my stomach, making me terrified even more.

This was it. I was done for. At least, if there was one thing I could be happy about, it's that I was able to experience what it was like to be with a real family again.

My only regret... was that I was never able to tell the brothers.

"Open wide, you slu-"

It didn't come. The pain I was expecting to feel didn't come, but instead, a second later, I was dropped on the ground and when I finally opened my eyes, I was greeted by something I couldn't figure out was real or not. Beasts.

They were gigantic. Huge. Colossal. I've never seen anything like it, and they were tearing up Anderson's men like they were nothing but a piece of paper.

Oh my god. Blood. So much blood.

What the hell is happening? Who were they? What were they?!

Screams and growls filled the area and all I could do was stay sprawled on the ground, unable to move any part of my body as my eyes remained glued on what was being uncovered in front of me. "Suri!"

It was only when I heard my name did my head finally move and that was when I saw Dev running up to me. I could not describe the relief I felt seeing him that the second he was close to me, I wrapped my arms around him.

"You're okay, sunshine. You're okay. Breathe. Breathe, please. Everything's fine now." He held me tight, so tight that I could hear his heart beating rapidly in his chest as my head laid on him.

"What's happening? What- what is that?" I asked, my body still shaking in Dev's arms and I was stuttering every word.

Dev merely just kept pulling me closer to him and he had used his entire body to cover my view, though I could still hear all the screams and angry growls from the beasts that I saw.

"Nothing, nothing. It's nothing. We have to go. Come on." He got up and was still holding onto me, but my legs didn't want to work. I couldn't stand even if I tried.

I was so scared.

Devon Wolfe

I hated seeing her like this. I hated knowing how weak and terrified she felt, so I did the only thing that I could do in this situation.

I held her close to me. I held her as close as I possibly could and comforted her to the best of my abilities.

She was shaking in my arms and I couldn't bear to look at her without me feeling the need to cry because she was hurt. They had hurt her, and I wanted nothing more than to tear those f*****g assholes who harmed her limb by limb because they dared do this to Suri, my Suri, but I had to let Atlas and Wes do that.

We were lucky that I managed to suppress my wolf from coming out. Unlike Titan and Jackal, Blaze was less aggressive since I have taught him to stay that way. After the incident, I slaved off day and night with blood, sweat, and tears to be able to control him because I was terrified of something like that ever happening again.

Our plan was simple - Atlas and Wes to make sure the assholes' entire existence is wiped out from the face off the earth, and I had to get Suri the hell out of here.

But Suri could barely move. She was so shaken by what she experienced that her entire body had been rendered incapable of movement.

"Come on, Suri. It's okay. I'll carry you." I told her and without a second to waste, I pulled her up to me and made sure to turn around so that she would not see anymore of the fight.

But I knew that she had already seen enough. Maybe even more.

I ran as fast as I could away from there. I wasn't sure where I was going. We had run off further to the side of the place, and even with my night vision, it was dark and I wasn't familiar with the area.

"Dev... Dev..." Suri cried out and my heart broke for her.

It was what fueled my determination to bring her back safely even more, and thankfully, I finally saw light a few feet away from us.

"Dev... Please... What is going on..." Suri continued to cry in my arms, but I didn't know what to say to her. I didn't know how to explain it to her, so I kept quiet.

"Dev! Tell me what's happening! Where are Atlas and Wes?!"

I was suddenly taken aback when she had raised her voice at me and when I looked down, there were not only tears in her eyes, but horror and hysteria as well. She looked like she was spiraling out of control.

"It'll be alright, okay? You don't have to worry. Atlas and Wes, they- they're fine, too. They'll meet you in your room. We're almost there, okay?" I tried to reassure her, but I knew whatever I said, it wouldn't really help.

Suri was shaking her head as she continued to whimper and as each second passed, I could feel the desperation in her.

And then it happened.

F**k.

The fireworks shot up in the night sky, signaling that it was time, and then...

Suri. All I could see, smell, and hear... was her.

I felt it deep inside of me, in my bones, and in my core. My entire existence. My entire being.

It was like being reborn and there was nothing else but Suri.

I almost didn't make it, but I managed to find the back of the hotel and we used the service elevator to get up to her room.

My entire body was shaking, but I was able to get her to her bed and lay her there.

She had quieted down now, but I knew there was still a war deep inside of her. She was just processing everything, and I felt the same because, oh Goddess...

It was really her.

And I'm sure Atlas and Wes could feel it where they are, too.

"What... were... they... Dev?" Suri finally spoke, but in a hushed tone as I helped move her in a more comfortable position in the bed.

I didn't say anything. I turned around and walked to the bathroom to start her a bath. Her clothes were destroyed and she had bruises on her face and her hand. I wished so badly that I could heal her, but all I can do is wash her and hope that the water could cleanse more than just dirt.

"Dev... what were they?!" She asked again, this time louder.

I shook my head as I took her hands and tried to comfort her. "Come here. We have to get you cleaned up."

Suri let me carry her to the bath, and I took off her dress. I wished so badly that this was in another circumstance, but I knew I couldn't bring back the past. If I could, I would make sure to never leave her side.

This all happened because I was... distracted. F**k.

"Dev... I'm scared..." Suri whispered as she looked at me, her eyes red and swollen.

I leaned forward and gently rested my forehead against hers. "We won't let anyone hurt you ever again, okay? We promise."

There was a few seconds of silence as we stayed in that position, and then she looked up at me, genuine fear in her eyes, and then she asked...

"Not even those monsters?"

And I swear something inside me broke, because there was nothing worse than having the love of your life...

Think you were a monster.
