Chapter 139: AMBUSHED

LUCIAN’S POV

The office space was suffocating as I paced up and down in worry. I had left Conri at the construction site after visiting to review how the project was going. The resort was picking up at a good pace and from the plans it would be ready in eight months. We had increased security at the construction site and the Freki mansion, as we were not sure when Lobo Aria would attack. It has been forty-eight hours since he was stripped of his position and no one had heard from him.

Zeeb walked into the office and stood waiting for my instruction. "How is everything in the Franchise? " I inquired

"The annual meeting is set for a month. If we speed up everything in all of them, we can have reports by the team when the meeting is set. This way we can have a proper plan for next year. And having Zaya and Benjamin as shareholders has sped up the process. We got a lot of inquiries and investors who are interested. ’’ Zeeb responded.

"Great. what about Conri’s land at the mines, has the paperwork been finalized?" I leaned back on the chair while asking.

"Anisha has finalized on them. The city council offices had no choice. And the tunnel that Fridolf had dug has been sealed off. " Zeeb responded.

"Great. Elder Zaya wants to leave for Canada soon. I fear she has become attached to Tizheruk and Luke" I stated. " Before she leaves we need to discuss with the shareholders on the proposed investment into Benjamins Timber factory. I am interested in an expansion proposal. "

"Anisha is nagging me too. She wants to travel" Zeeb cursed. " Oh, and I have some news, Boris embezzled money from the pack. Ma found evidence, and she asked me to give it to you. Hold on to it until we find more." Zeeb stated as he handed over the USB drive.

"Okay. That is great. We need to weed out all of Lobo’s goons once and for all. Has anyone found Lobo Aria? I am worried he is up to no good," I cursed.

" Nothing. They say he locked himself up at his mansion," Zeeb informed me. " I will have our security team gather more details. And Tala called. She is mated to Hunter"

" It was bound to happen. Be happy for her and thank you Zeeb for all the information and hard work. " I smiled at him as he nodded and left my office.

The work on my desk has piled up from the fact that I was away from the office for a while. I called Conri to inform him that I would be home a tad bit late. It was almost close to midnight when I left the office. Along the way, I decided to pass by the fuel station that had a liquor store and left the car running as I rushed over to get the wine.

On my way out of the store, the person threw powder in the air and I was startled. Before I could react, a blow above the ear hit me, and my brain froze. It was one that no one prepared for, lethal and I was knocked senseless. My eyes blurred, and the world spun, and my legs gave way. I had been so distracted and failed to notice that I was being trailed. Thank God it was not a bullet or knife. The attacker just wanted to knock me out. The bottle of wine shattered, and pieces of glass were everywhere. I knew my security team was a few minutes away since I had sped off on the highway and left them behind at a distance.

"Get your fucking knife out. The instructions were to slice him up a bit, but no deep wounds. And hurry the fuck up about it, ’I heard a man’s voice spit with disgust.

The sound of the knife blade swishing open and striking my leg was like an electric shock right into my brain. These morons did not believe that I was connected to Dolf. I took a breather, pushing the toxic dust from my nose, and then gathered all my strength and thrust all my weight behind a powerful kick and aimed at the man who hit me. I had a crack of bone as it tore, and it was like music to my ears. The man fell to the ground, and the rest moved to attack. The man with the knife slashed and missed as I punched him and sent him flying to the ground together with the third attacker.

Freki rose and took control as I picked up the knife, pulled the first attacker’s head back, tipped the blade at the bottom of his neck, and sliced through. Blood spluttered as he slumped down.

The fourth man came running for me, and I sidestepped his lunge and smashed his nose. His hands rose to cover his nose, and I took the opportunity to stab his stomach. He collapsed on the ground and landed on his body as I straddled him and sliced his neck. I sat there watching the light die out of his eyes and then turned around to check my first attacker. He was lying on the ground, staring at me with bulging eyes. I stood up and walked over to him.

Suddenly, his phone rang, and I smiled. He tried to get up, and I stabbed his heart. His eyes rolled back as blood spilled from his mouth. He was dead in seconds.

I dialed the number and the phone two times, and the man said, "Give me an update" as Jaxton Carter’s voice came through.

’Oh read Jaxton, you are losing your touch. These little goons cannot do anything to me,’ Drawled.

There was a pause, then he spoke. "Lucian, you have no idea what lies ahead of you. You will never get to live long. Every wolf that is loyal to Lobo is out to kill you. It’s only a matter of time.

"I fear no man, " I seethed. " You can come at me many times, but you will not succeed. I can take you down anytime I want. "

"We will find you and take you to Isamu. I will trade your life for my dads’s life and hand your dead or alive body, "Senior Meifeng yelled.

"You should pray that I don’t turn up dead because I can assure you Conri is coming for you. You think I don’t know your weakness Jaxton, you will pee on yourself the minute he finds you. "I disconnected the call and threw the phone away. It landed on the ground and pieces scattered all over.

I looked down at the wound on my leg. Blood spilled and pain radiated, making me weak, since it seemed that the knife was laced with Napella. I walked back to the shop, bought the gaze and bandage, and hid by the bathroom as I cleaned myself. Knowing how Lobo’s mind worked, I deduced that he would send a second team to finish me off. I walked over to my car, took out the gun in the glove compartment, a few dollars, and then I rushed out of the area and took the alleys.

Once I knew I was not being followed, I took a cab, alighted when I got to the woods, and walked into Hunter’s house. I knew that no one would find me there, as I had covered my tracks. Going to the Freki mansion would have endangered Elder Zaya, and I was not going to bring the fight to my house.

Reaching out to Conri, I pushed the words through our mind link. " Conri, I have been attacked.

"I am headed your way. Dolf already alerted me, " He responded through the mind link and the words seeped through my body as I burst out laughing.

In half an hour, I scented Conri before I saw him as he walked into the house. He opened his arms and embraced me. I felt his body tremble and when I pulled him to the nearest couch to sit down; he winced.

’You are hurt, ’ He growled.

’It’s nothing, ’ Unfettered, Conri pulled my pants up, and the wound was healing itself.

"The wound is healing itself. It should be fine, " I assured him.

"I know there is a set of clothes Hunter left. Take a bath and change first, then we can talk. "Conri advised. I could tell he was holding back as his eyes blazed with anger.

Twenty minutes later, I was showered and dressed in Hunter’s clothes. They Were a little big, and I folded the arms and trousers as I sat down on the couch.

"I want you to tell me everything. Before then, there is something I must say." Conri announced.

’Go on, ’ I nodded.

’ I love you more than life itself. You are my life, and you need to understand that I can’t live without you. So, you can’t get hurt from now on. You are no longer alone, and you have to involve me in everything. I lost fifteen damn years in the woods. I don’t want to go back to that pain". "

I nodded and whispered, "Jaxton Carter sent men to attack me. The knife was laced with Napella and they threw the powder in the air, making me dizzy. But Freki’s powers were awesome, and I recovered fast. He said that Lobo Aria plans to take me to Isamu"

Conri growled and whispered, "Over my dead body.

"Now we need to get to Jaxton and take him out, " I asserted.

"Do you know where to find him and why did you not go home?" Conri demanded.

"I am not bringing any fight to the mansion. Plus Godmother is there. We can’t let her get hurt"

" Fine. Come on, it’s time to take out the trash," Conri growled as we left Hunter’s home and headed toward the town to find Jaxton.
