Chương 31: Magic

Chapter 31

LOU RIVERS

I was shifting my weight on the luxurious leather seat of a private jet owned by the pack when I noticed Marc, gesturing something I don't understand.

Marc, Maggie and I were on our way to the mission.

Sighing, he turned to Maggie.

"Sit down Magz," he demanded.

The girl turned to him, grunting. "Marc, I'm just excited, okay?"

"This would be our first time together with Lou in a real fight," she reasoned.

"Speaking of real fight, shouldn't you be worried that this mission might cost us our lives?"

"Yet, you are this excited."

The girl huffed, then a smirk with pride followed right after. "With Louchiechie here, whom— shall I fear?"

'tsk tsk'

I spank her head slightly with the magazine in my hand, "Might I remind you Magz, I'm no goddess."

"I won't have your back all the time."

"I know—," she grunted. "I was just bluffing."

I shook my head lightly then got back to reading when after a while, she spoke again but with weight in her tone this time.

"Seriously though—"

"With you, I feel like I'm in the safest place on Earth, Lou."

'wow'

In all honesty, that had me speechless for a moment. I glanced at her on my side but she was not looking at me but on her lap.

"Ouch—," she winced dramatically, I spanked her head once again with the magazine; a little harder than the last one.

"Just wait till your mate comes along," I hissed playfully.

"Then you'll know where truly— is that safest place in this cruel world."

'ahem'

[***************]

"Stop grinning," Marc took notice of Maggie, he mind linked her.

My lady friend was really hyped for the mission.

Well, we have arrived, met the alpha and other officials. They briefed us of everything and they were now escorting us to the last point I wanted any of them to set foot into for the entire operation.

I don't want anyone to go near half a thousand meter radius from the target's coordinates they have provided.

I instructed Marc to do the call as he's the face of the team and I'm just a small fry tagging along for experience.

'yeah'

'for experience'

I knew they thought of that. I saw it on their discriminating eyes.

'tsk'

"Can you just let me be?" Maggie snapped, annoyed.

"I'm just excited to finally put all our trainings to reality."

"And since when did our trainings isn't a reality?" Marc retorted.

"Marc, this is different," Maggie insisted, her eyes piercing through Marc's.

"We are not just hunting some wild animal this time but a criminal."

"A criminal—" she stressed. "... and not some bunnies in the field."

She let out a deep breath, "And I'm talking about our sneaky trainings with Lou— not with the pack."

She then rolled her eyes, "I mean, her trainings—" she pointed at me. "You know, under her—" she paused and contemplated.

"Her—her magic?" She mumbled.

'magic'

'haha'

"I'm no witch Magz," I sneered and smiled right after.

'magic'

That made me laugh—

I understand her enthusiasm though, regarding this hunt, regarding our working together. So opposite of the first time she had known me being the Canis Lycaon.

It was a difficult time.

It took days, months and a year for both of them to fully grasp what they had thrown themselves into.

We were in therapy together back then. I was okay but I chose to linger so I can monitor them; making sure my secret remains a secret, and also help them to recover quickly somehow.

I just longed for acceptance and that I succeeded— but it was not easy.

The process was gradual and eventually, they're back to their old lively self but— but with new perspective of the life ahead of them.

Ever since I joined the Noble Blood Pack, whenever we get the chance to sneak away from anyone's radar in the pack's territory, I have been training them to control the power I have bestowed upon them.

I have so much to give but I don't plan on laying all my cards. I just made known to them those that I think they needed as an individual and as a pack, like—

... like giving them a boost in strength and sharing them some of my unique abilities.

At will, I can do all that to any member of my own pack as we are inextricably linked by a complex web. And their changes, them being above any other werewolf is already a given as they will grow as I do.

With Maggie, she was just too excited to put all her hard work into this mission and was planning of not holding back at all. Hence, I have requested a half kilometer radius clearance, just to be sure no one alive knows who we are.

'hmmmmm'

Now, we are up for the hunt—

'hehe'
