Chương 62: The Druid

Running for a few minutes, both stopped at a distance away from the Hale house. When he came closer to her, she glanced at him with what seemed to be disdain in her eyes.

"Alright, you won." Lucas treated her like a small child, winning and being naughty. Then both glanced at the house, which was surrounded by hunters, and leading them was Kate Argent. Lucas then heard Kate ordering to fire; bullets poured into the house like it was raining. Not long after, he picked up a faint smell of blood coming from the house, then Derek opened the door and roared towards the hunters. The fight was without suspense; Derek didn't last more than a few minutes.

Observing that the group was preparing to leave, he glanced at Malia.

"Could you follow that group from a distance and see where they are going?" Lucas pointed towards them; without making sure she understood, he left in another direction. Malia stared at his back for a few seconds, then turned around and began walking. In the opposite direction, Lucas spotted a figure walking with Scott in his arms; it was Alan Deaton, Scott's boss. Crunch! The sound made Deaton look around in alert; when he finally saw Lucas, he was startled.

"Who are you?" Lucas didn't respond, taking a few steps forward; the moonlight now illuminated his body, making him fully visible. Deaton's face shook when he fully observed him; his mouth quivered slightly.

"What are you?!"

"That's not a nice thing to say…" This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. Lucas smiled softly, while his eyes shined slightly with a silver color. Deaton averted his gaze, as he felt a slight prick in his eyes. When he looked back at Lucas, all of that disappeared, as if it was only his imagination. But only he knew that it was all real, and the person in front of him was not as harmless as he looked.

"Don't worry, I know Scott; I just got here from the Hale's house and came to see if he was okay." Lucas raised his hands while walking closer to him. Observing that he seemed to be honest, Deaton relaxed slightly, but still watched his every move.

"I'm Lucas Ashford, nice to meet you."

"Likewise, I'm Alan Deaton. I'm a veterinarian." Lucas smiled at his introduction.

"I know, you're the alpha, right?" Deaton's smile was a little stiff, as he remembered being kidnapped.

"That was just a little misunderstanding." Lucas observed his face, then looked at Scott, who was badly injured.

"I think you should go now, or he might not make it." Deaton nodded, then began walking away; when he got in the distance, he turned around one more time, but Lucas was not there anymore. •••• Lucas returned to the burned house; not long after, Malia slowly got closer.

"Did you follow them?" She looked at him for a few seconds straight, then turned around and started walking towards the house. Lucas smiled as he watched her back, then began following her. When they got closer, Lucas gazed at the house in surprise, then looked at Malia.

"Is it here?" She just glanced slightly at him, then laid on the ground, ignoring him. Not bothered by her behavior, Lucas observed the house, then slowly turned his gaze to the ground.

"I see, aren't you a little clever." He smiled while looking at the house, then slowly walked away into the darkness. When he got home, he was surprised to see Allison pacing around his front door.

"Did something happen?" She was startled for a moment, then quickly turned her head towards him.

"Lucas!" She jumped into his arms; hugging her tightly, he gazed into her eyes.

"What's going on?"

"Kate texted me a location in the woods and said if I wanted to learn the truth about our family I should go there. I don't know if I should go, so I came here first." Her eyes were filled with hesitation; she already knew what the secret was, but she didn't know how to face Kate.

"I might know what she wants to show you." Hearing this, she looked at him in surprise, then waited for him to continue. Lucas then explained what happened tonight, how Derek was captured and now is in the basement of the burned house. She gazed at him in astonishment, then frowned.

"So her goal is to show me the true face of a werewolf." Lucas nodded, then spoke:"I think that you should go." Seeing her surprised expression, he smiled.

"Even though we trained for some time now, you still need to see up close what a werewolf looks like, and to truly understand what kind of person Kate is." Her face struggled visibly; a part of her still wanted to ignore the truth and have only the good memories with Kate, but she knew that it would all be a lie.

"I'll go!"
