Chương 33: New Ability

Allison looked anxiously at her phone, she tried calling Lucas ten times already. Allison bit her nails as she looked at his contact, she didn't see him all day, and when she asked the teacher, he told her that Lucas didn't come to school, not even contacting the school office. She paced around her room, it was 6 in the morning and still dark outside. Allison then tried calling one more time.

"The number you're calling is unavailable." She clenched the phone and looked at the window, but before she could think further, her mom called her for breakfast. Allison looked at the window one last time before going to the kitchen.

"Here, honey." Victoria put a plate in front of her, Allison then started eating in a daze. After finishing, she turned towards her mother.

"Mom, I will go earlier today to a friend, then go to school together." Victoria raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who's that friend, sweetheart?"

"It's Lydia," she responded, trying to remain calm. Victoria stared at her for a few seconds before nodding. Allison's face brightened for a second before quickly returning to normal, she grabbed her school bag then departed. After driving for 10 minutes, she arrived at Lucas' house. Getting out of the car, she saw that his car was in the driveway. After arriving at the doorstep, Allison suddenly stopped. Her body trembled slightly, on the ground there were drops of blood, and the door handle was covered in blood.

Her lips quivered as she gathered the strength to go forward. She slowly opened the door, what she saw made her body go stiff. It was Lucas lying down, blood all over him, staying still as if he was dead. Her heart went cold, tears welled up in her eyes, then she quickly knelt down beside him.

"Please, please don't die." Her voice choked, barely able to speak. The only thing that relieved her a little was his pulse. Her eyes darted around, not knowing what to do, then with trembling hands she quickly took her phone and dialed 9-1-1. This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it"Pleas.." Before she could finish talking, a hand pressed on the phone, interrupting the call. Allison looked in shock, it was Lucas.

"Don't! I can't go anywhere!" His voice was rough, but his condition was still better than a few hours ago.

"But.." Allison choked on her tears, in disbelief at his objection. She saw his gaze unwavering, not wanting to take no for an answer.

"But you're bleeding, and I don't know what to do." She still tried reasoning with him, but it was in vain. Lucas then pushed his body up with his right hand, now able to at least be in a sitting position. He grabbed her hand then spoke, "My wounds have stopped bleeding, I only need to rest." He looked at her, seeing her eyes full of tears, he continued in a gentler tone.

"I have been here on the floor for hours, if I was still bleeding then I would've died long ago." Then, not giving her a chance to refuse, he started getting up, Allison quickly took his arm. She realized he would not accept going to the hospital. Slowly, with her help, Lucas was able to reach his room. Allison helped him lay down on the bed, her gaze by now was a little calmer, panicking would not help Lucas get better. She then slowly started taking off his T-shirt, Allison only concentrating on his wounds.

She gasped when she saw his injuries, one on the shoulder and one in the stomach. Even though the bleeding stopped, both wounds were grotesque, suddenly she felt a hand on hers.

"Don't worry, it just needs to be cleaned." Lucas gently touched her hand, calming her down. Allison nodded, reassured by his calmness, she quickly gathered a clean cloth, some water, and the emergency kit. She started slowly cleaning his wounds, when she finished cleaning, she bandaged all of them. Allison now stared at the bandaged wound on his back, this one was the largest, the most incredible thing was that for a second Allison thought she saw the wound healing.

She shook her head, believing that she was still in shock. By now Lucas was asleep, he was exhausted. Fighting a skinwalker and almost dying made him tired. After two hours, Lucas gradually opened his eyes, feeling some weight on his arm he looked over. It was Allison, sitting by his bed and resting on his arm. Lucas looked at her peaceful expression, his gaze warmed up, he lifted his right arm and gently stroked her face.

"Thank you." He whispered, only Lucas knew what he meant. Lucas looked at the ceiling in silence, now his body felt a strange sense of comfort and pain at the same time. He didn't know how much his strength grew, but he was sure that no omega or beta could stand against him now. He tried to feel his ability, now it was clearer, as if before he wasn't even getting started yet. Deep inside him, beside the werewolf power, there was now the skinwalker potential.

Lucas concentrated on this power, trying to find what he acquired from it. His gaze shifted to his right hand. Suddenly his hand felt different, cracks started appearing and the color of his hand became slightly grey. Obsidian shield, this was his new ability. When activated, it could even stop bullets, sharp objects would even have difficulty injuring him now. The problem was that he needed to concentrate when he wanted to activate it, so he still needed to be careful of sneak attacks.

After all, he was not Superman. Lucas felt that his basics became stronger too, like agility and strength. He could only experiment when his wounds healed completely. Lucas then canceled his shield and looked at Allison. He gently shook her a couple of times. Allison opened her eyes, she yawned slightly as she looked at Lucas. Lucas gave her a smile.

"You need to go to school." Allison looked hesitantly at him, then at his wounds.

"But I can't leave you alone." Lucas shook his head as he replied, "I'm fine, go before your parents find out." She could only helplessly nod her head, she then grabbed her bag and started walking, before leaving the room Allison turned towards him one more time.

"I will come after I finish school." Then she left. Lucas smiled as he watched her leave.
