Chương 59: Is It Wrong To Pick Up A Coyote In The Middle Of The Night?

Rays of moonlight pierced through the evergreen tree, falling onto a boy lying beneath it, as if trapped in an eternal sleep. Suddenly, his eyes flew wide open, a golden color in one eye and a silver-white glow in the other. Lucas groaned in pain, feeling like his body had been hit by a truck. His eyes jerked around, observing that he was alone. He started getting up. A creaking sound came from his body as he slowly straightened his back.

He then grabbed the spear from the ground, rotated it a couple of times, then swiftly mounted it on his back. Lucas glanced at the hospital one more time, with a smile forming on his lips.

'My purpose here is finished. Peter, the clock is ticking.' Then he walked away, slowly vanishing into the darkness. In the hospital, on the other hand, through Peter's deep "love," he finally convinced Derek to join him. They soon made their way toward the school. •••• As he was walking near the forest, Lucas suddenly frowned, feeling a trace of being watched. He glanced deeply into the forest, then observed a pair of blue eyes watching him with interest. The figure took a few steps forward.

When the light shone on its body, Lucas's eyebrows raised slightly. It was an animal, not big in size. To be more precise, it was a coyote. Its eyes were a striking blue color. Lucas took a few steps forward, watching the creature with interest.

"What an unexpected surprise." A smile appeared on his face as he slowly started approaching it. The moment he got too close, the coyote bared its teeth aggressively at him. Lucas made a calming gesture with his hands, then went down on one knee while staring straight into its eyes. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"I will not hurt you." His eyes slowly changed too, which seemed to have a calming effect on the coyote. The coyote sniffed slightly, as if remembering a familiar smell. Though it was still keeping a distance from him, it was now calmer in his presence. Lucas observed its behavior closely. Seeing that the coyote was still wary of him, he didn't push it too far. He then slowly started walking back home. While walking, his ears picked up the sound of leaves being stepped on. A satisfied smile formed on his face.

After some time, Lucas arrived home. When he got in, he could still see the coyote watching him from a distance. Lucas went to the kitchen and grabbed a leftover steak. After arriving outside, he slowly put the plate on the ground and left. From inside the house, he watched as the coyote slowly made its way to the food. It sniffed the food a couple of times, then glanced at the house hesitantly. Seeing no one around, the coyote finally started eating.

"It seems that the beating I took was not for nothing. I've got your daughter now… Peter." A grin formed on his face as he watched Malia eat the food. •••• The night passed by quickly. Lucas was eating normally, as if nothing major had happened the night before. Suddenly, he got a text from Allison saying she needed to talk about something. Lucas then grabbed a cookie and left for her house. It took him a while to arrive without his car, by that time Allison was already outside waiting.

The moment she got closer to him, she laughed while looking at his lips, which had some crumbs from the cookie he had eaten earlier. She gently used her finger to wipe his lips. After finishing, she licked her finger as she gazed into his eyes. Lucas grabbed her by the waist, making her squeal slightly in surprise, then he passionately kissed her lips. Allison broke free from his lips as she finally spoke:"Wait! We were supposed to talk about something." Lucas smiled as he observed her reddened cheeks.

"After seducing me, you still have no shame, huh?" Allison averted her eyes for a second, then glanced back at him as if she hadn't heard anything.

"I heard Kate and my dad talking about something related to hunting in the garage, and I found this on the table." Allison took a large spearhead from her pocket and showed it to him.

"So this happened to remain there. What a coincidence." Lucas replied with slight sarcasm in his tone. Her eyes widened for a brief moment.

"Could it have been left by Kate on purpose? But why?"

"For you, of course. Maybe she is interested in shaping her dear niece into her image, just as Gerard did with her."

"My grandfather?" She was slightly surprised at the mention of her grandfather, then frowned.

"Wait, so you mean she wants to train me into a hunter?" He nodded, then continued speaking:"Maybe the old you, the innocent girl who didn't know anything, a girl who could be easily manipulated." Lucas then gently stroked her face while gazing into her eyes.

"Besides… you are already a hunter… my hunter." Her heart skipped a beat. Feeling his warm touch on her face, Allison smiled brightly.
