Chapter 28: See

August let out a small yelp of surprise and jumped back, looking up to see a familiar face. It took her a moment to place his wavy brown hair and arrogant smile. 'Lucas,' she thought to herself.

"You're alive," he smirked down at her and took a bite of his apple. Lycans eat apples? Somehow it seemed strange, especially when it was this menacing lycan.

"I am alive," she confirmed, instinctually backing away from him.

His eyes narrowed seeing this movement, and he slowly stalked forward, closing the distance between them.

"Where are you going? Thinking of running away?" He smirked again before taking another bite of the blushing red fruit in his hand.

Marius's thoughts flashed in her mind… of her running through the trees, being chased like prey. She swallowed hard and shook her head. "No."

"Darn," he replied, his smile widening. He stood there chewing, watching her like he was waiting for any sudden movements.
