Arthur k*issed the crown of her head with his trembling l*ips. “I am going to rip the person who did this to you, I swear!” He curled his arm around her waist and stayed there.
Lia loved their weight on her even though it pained her. When she couldn’t take it anymore, she whimpered. The twins moved away immediately. “I am sorry!” Hawk said.
“Gosh no!” Lia held his h*and feebly. “Don’t go anywhere.”
“We won’t,” he replied. “We can’t.”
For the next two days until Lia was declared fit to go home, Arthur and Hawk didn’t go to school. They stayed with her and took care of her completely. It was on the third day when she was discharged from the hospital, she found Shawn debating with Hunter on where to take Lia from here. Hunter wanted Lia to come to the castle, but Shawn insisted that she go with them.
In the end, Hunter explained to him as to why her security was so important. “Unless you want to put her in danger again, you can take her to your home. And if she is going there, I know my sons will follow her. That would also mean that your house will be surrounded twenty-four-seven with t*ight security. That is going to scare a lot of your office people. Do you want that?”
Shawn gritted his teeth, but he knew that Hunter was right. “Okay!” he rasped. “Only till you take care of the danger looming over her.” He went to Lia and k*issed the crown of her head. “Take care sweetheart. I will come every day with your mother and sister to see you.”
“But I want to go with you daddy.”
He sighed. “I will take you back in a few days.”
Hunter gestured to his men to help Lia get in the car, but Arthur growled at them, peeling his l*ips, daring them to t*ouch her. He picked her up in his arms and walked along with Hawk to their SUV.
“What danger is looming over me?” she asked, bewildered by her father’s statement.
“Nothing, baby girl,” Arthur said as he strapped her to the seat while Hawk sat in the driver’s seat. When they reached home, Hawk picked her up again in his arms and walked all the way to a room next to his. “I want you to stay in my room, but mother was insistent that you have your own room,” he said with a mischievous smile as he sat her on the bed.
Arthur entered and to Lia’s surprise, she saw that River had come along with him. “Luna River!” She was excited to see her.
“How are you, Lia?” River asked, sitting beside her. “I hope you like this arrangement.”
Lia grinned. “Thank you for taking care of me. I really appreciate that.”
River chuckled. “It’s my p*leasure dear. I will be asking Faria to be with you all the time. Whatever you need, you have to just order her, okay? She will take care of all your medication also.”
“Thank you once again,” Lia replied. She wasn’t used to this kind of care, but it felt so good that there were so many people who loved her and were worried about her.
Arthur left with River but Hawk stayed back. He propped up her pillows and helped her sit. Most of her pain had reduced, but she still felt pretty weak. Hawk slid beside her and curled his arm around her waist. He closed his eyes and buried his face on the side of her belly. Lia stroked his silky hair lazily, loving his proximity. “I don’t know how it happened, Hawk,” she said, trying to recall it.
He turned his face towards her. “Can you tell me whatever you remember?”
“All I recall is that the car was on the road and we were at an intersection. I was talking to the driver when I heard loud bang as if something had hit the car with a very strong force. After that, the car toppled and then I blacked out.”
Hawk’s grip on her waist t*ightened. “I am so sorry…” He let out a rough exhale. “We are into it already.”
“Did you check out all the security cameras over there?” Arthur asked Asher as soon as he entered the security room. Because Hawk was with Lia, he was assured that she was safe. For the past two days he did nothing except be with Lia.
“I have,” Asher replied. He picked up a pen drive and inserted it into a computer. He started playing another video. “It seems someone has tampered with the camera on this side,” he said pointing at the left of the screen. “Otherwise we would have gotten a better view. But you have to take a look at this.”
Asher fast-forwarded the video and he paused it after ten minutes of time. “There!” he pointed at a truck. “This drove in and stopped at the intersection where Lia’s car was crossing.” He resumed the video. Moments later, Lia’s car drove and the truck hit it.
“Bastard!” Arthur growled.
“The truck sped away immediately. There was no number plate. We have sent the picture of this truck everywhere for identification. But this is not all,” Asher said. He took the pen drive out and inserted another one. “Now look at it from this view.”
The video started playing as Arthur’s brows furrowed. He crossed his arms across his c*hest. This was the view from a camera that was installed on a shop that was some thirty meters away and it showed a film outside the glass wall. Arthur didn’t find anything odd in it. Lia’s car suddenly zipped past and after that it disappeared over the interjection which was beyond the range of this camera. “Why are you showing me this?”
Asher paused the video. “There!” He poked his f*inger over the screen towards the woods. “Can you see something here?”
Arthur pierced his vision to look deep into the woods. Asher played the video and Arthur caught a fl**ker of a movement. Now the movement could be absolutely nothing, but it was actually something. Something big. “There’s a Lycan out there,” he said, goosebumps crawling on his skin.
“Yes,” Asher said. “Now follow the beast closely.”
The Lycan watched the car speeding by and it rushed after it in the woods.
“Who is that?” Arthur was shocked out of his wits.
“I sent my warriors to track the scent.”
“And?”
For the next two days, while Lia wasn’t allowed to go to school, Hawk started going and only because Lia insisted. She needed all the notes. She was getting bored and nervous at the same time. It was already October and her finals were near.
“They are five months away, Lia!” Hawk whined as he clung to her on the bed. “You have a lot of time.”
She smacked his arm. “I don’t! And I need to clear the finals with an A grade. Don’t you understand? I need the scholarship for my college.”
Hawk picked up his head with furrowed brows. “We are extremely rich and we can pay through your college a hundred times over. I hope you know that.”
She pursed her l*ips. “Even daddy can pay my college tuition fee, but I don’t want to be a burden on anyone. I have worked h*ard for it and there’s no way I would allow anyone to pay for me!”
“Lia,” Hawk said in a very cool and controlled manner even though he was seething inside because of her being so mulish about it. “I know that you are an intelligent girl, but you have people around you who would love to pay for you. You don’t have one mate. You have two mates and both of us are Alphas of the Dark Moon pack. Do you think we will allow our future Luna to go on scholarsh*ps at the college?”
She clenched her teeth h*ard and crossed her arms across her c*hest. “I won’t even argue with you about that. You are challenging my intelligence.”
Hawk got up and stabbed his f*ingers in his hair at the hopelessness he was feeling about the situation. Arthur wasn’t here to help him out but he wondered what would Arthur do? In front of Lia, he was more like her slave. He covered his face with his h*ands. When he slid his h*ands down, he found her pouting. A chuckle left him. He leaned over her and k*issed her. “You look lovely when you pout.” All his anger vanished in that moment. He grabbed the back of her head and captured her l*ips with his.
Lia was so angry with him, but the moment the k*iss landed on her l*ips, she melted. She opened up for him and savored the feel of his t*ongue that explored her. When he pulled away, he rested his forehead on hers. “Goddess, I can never be away from you. Arthur and I were made for you.”
She cupped his cheeks. “I love you both a lot.”
Hawk went to school and by the time he returned, Lia grabbed his bag and took out all the notes. Arthur joined them an hour later and together they finished the assignment. “Lia?” he called her, closing his book. “Hmm?” she asked. She was lying on the footer side of the bed with a pencil inserted in her messy bun and a pen in her f*ingers. She was furiously writing her notes with her l*egs dangling in the air. Hawk was sitting propped up on the pillows, watching her continuously.
“Is it necessary for you to go to college?” Arthur asked.
