The Wolf and the Fae
chapter 56 voices
Lucia’s p.o.V
I woke up this time around to find out that it was not a dream. I really couldn’t see.
I sat up, using my hand to check around for Helios and he was gone. I tried to swallow tl stab I felt in my chest. the stab of betrayal.
“you’re up!” it was Constance. She sounded excited. “I would go get the king” she sounded like she was hurrying to go out.
“STOP!” I didn’t hear any movement again so I assumed that she was still there and had
not gone. “please, I just need some time to myself” I lied. The truth was, I didn’t think I
wanted him to come here for completely different reasons.
What if he hadn’t stayed the night with me because it was his way of saying that he
didn’t want me anymore? What if he didn’t care for me that way and this blindness was
just something that he could finally use to throw mw aside?
“please don’t leave me” I had begged him desperately and he lied.
“I would never” he had dared to lie to my face.
“I understand” Constance said. I felt her presence beside me as the bed dipped.
“what’s on your mind?” she asked me softly, I imagined her looking at me with the most patient eyes as she usually did.
“is this going to be forever?” I was scared. I would rather die now than to actually live like
this forever. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t be the weak helpless girl. I wasn’t even wanted when I wasn’t this weak, what would make him want me now?
I felt hands touched the sides of my head, gently rubbing it as if to pet it.
“of course not” I could hear the doubt in her voice. She didn’t believe that I could get better, but of course she would lie to me to make me feel better.
“Constance, please don’t lie to me, it would only make it worse.” I bit my lips as I tried to silence the voices that won’t go away. They were mocking me. Telling me how much of a

failure I was.
They were there, in my head last night too. They told me how much I was going to be
unloved from now on. I tried to fight it yesterday, telling myself over and over that it was okay. That even though Helios didn’t love me that way, he at least cared for me.
They were right. I had begged him to stay the night and he left. ‘I bet he found you repulsive now and could not stand the thought of being with you‘ another voice whispered, taunting me.
I felt the bed for my pillow and rested my head on it. there was no use fighting them, the

it was
“lucia” she called me softly, I could not see her but I felt the pity she had for me, rolling off of her in waves. “of course I would not lie to you. You would see again, there is not a single doubt about that” she said this time with more determination in her voice.
I kept quiet, letting her feed me the lies that she thought would work. “I know I passed out, what happened then, how did this happen to me?” I was asking myself more than I
was asking her but she answered me either way.
“your former mate. He tried to mark you again. I don’t know much details, I was not there. But from what I have seen. Your wolf wasn’t strong enough to handle it.
My ears picked up at the mention of my wolf. I snapped my head to where she was sitting on the side of the bed. “my wolf, what happened to her?” I couldn’t go back to being
without one. I finally had one, I was still learning to adapt to her and now… no,”
“we called the royal physician, we also had the princess look at you since she also studies medicine, you know, we are trying all that we can”
I sat up faster than the speed of light. My heart racing as I heard what the underlying meaning of what she was trying to say. “Constance, my wolf, what happened to her” I
asked slowly, emphasizing on each word that I pronounced.
It was subtle, so hard to catch without my heightened senses but I heard it either ways.
Her heart skipping a beat. I stopped her before she could get the next words out.
“please, don’t lie to me” I could not believe how desperate I sounded, but in the long run

I meant it. I did not think that I would be able to take it if she did lie to me.
“my lady” she said. I felt her voice shake. She had never called me that before, at least not now that I saw her as someone close to me. I felt the pressure of the bed come off. She was no longer sitting beside me but had stood up to go.
“I believe it’s time to get something to eat” she said, completely changing the topic.
I stretched out my hand to hold her, trying to stop her from leaving but I was not
successful.
“please don’t leave me” I pleaded. I hated how helpless I felt.
“I need to get your meal Lucia” she said. This time, I heard the footsteps as she retreated.
“I don’t need to eat right now” please stay, I am scared to be alone. I said the last part in my head because I had already come off as weak before, I did not want to seem anymore
desperate.
“I will be back” she said leaving me here in a blur and the voices in my head.
I tried to stay still. Now that I was all alone, they voices became more real. i put my head back on the pillow, laying down in the process.
“you can never escape me” I snapped my eyes open and looked around, not that it could do any good since I was not even seeing anything.
I knew that voice anywhere. It was one I had adored for years and was the cause of my nightmare.

I could almost feel him breathing down my neck. i was suddenly back at the ball, trying to get away from Kaden again.
“what the fuck do you want from me?” I said in a shaky voice. “I am not yours, you get the fuck away from me.” I was seething, trying to figure out where he stood in the room, but it was pointless. He was quiet.
“you know you would always be mine” he said again. I threw my hands around, wanting to get a good hit at him but nothing. I was met with the air. I jumped out of bed, ignoring how dizzy I felt. And throwing things I could touch at his direction.
“I am nobody’s!” I yelled throwing something in his direction. I soon found another, then another. “I FUCKING HATE YOU!” I yelled feeling around for other things to throw his way. “YOU HAVE RUINED MY LIFE!!!” I found another and didn’t even hesitate, throwing it with the most force I could muster.
The audacity for him to show up in my room and say those things to me.
I was hugged tightly from the back. I was suddenly under him at the ball again, trying to break free of his hold. “no!” I panicked, trying my possible best to break free from his hold “let go of me!!” I felt my skin crawl from his touch alone, “please” I whispered.
“it me! Luzia” that familiar drawl of my name caused a shift. I clung to him tight as I looked around. I saw another blurry figure in front of me, but I didn’t mind.
Helios was here.
“he is here.” I held on to him tighter, afraid that Kaden was going to try and hurt me again if I let go of Helios. I ignored the way his touched burned me. How it made my skin crawl at the moment. If it was a small price to pay for him coming to protect me, then I didn’t mind it.
I looked around frantically.
I didn’t miss the way Helios gathered me more into his hands as if to protect me. “who is here” his voice went from soft and caring to cold and deadly in an instance.
“he is here for me Heline ho won’t lanua

possible but it was just coming out in loud and frantic. I actually wondered how he understood me.
“there is no one here, love”
I shook my head. “no, that… that cannot be. I heard him” I looked around squinting my eyes like I could see anything. “you have to believe Helios, I swear he was here, just behind me.” I was sure of it. I knew I was hearing voices but his were more prominent, I knew it was real and not just in my head.
“that mutt is locked up, there is no way he is coming out any time soon. I promise you” he sounded so sure. I said nothing else as I laid there in his arms, ready to pass out from the exhaustion I felt.
He said other things to me but I didn’t care to listen. I was going crazy and the worst part, he was here to experience it.
“Luzia? “he brushed my hair behind my ear. “did you hear what I was telling you?” he sounded excited about something.
It irritated me. Why does he get to be happy while I am in a nightmare? I was sure he was just going to be excited to replace me. I didn’t have to be his sense of duty anymore.
“I think you should leave Helios” I said standing up from the position I was cradled in on his lap.
It was silent for a while before he answered me.
“is everything okay? Are you feeling dizzy? Is it..”
“just leave!” I exploded leaving him stunned. I did not need to see his face to know that he was stunned. “I need to be alone with my thoughts please” I said more softly to ease up my reason for shouting. It was more to ease the guilt I was feeling than anything else.

“very well then” he said after a while of silence.
He carried me up princess style, startling me a bit. “what are you doing?” I asked shell shocked.
“there are pieces of glasses everywhere. I would put you down safely, then I would leave.”

I nodded. He was once again making me feel very helpless but I said nothing.
I let him do as he please, not saying anything.
“I am proud of you Luzia, you are not letting this thing bring you down” he said after he had let me down gently on the bed. “I would leave you alone now”
I said nothing but just continued looking away from him.
When he finally let go off me, I felt instant relief. My skin no longer crawled and the burning of my skin underneath his stopped. It was like I could breathe again.
I heard the door close softly and then I let the tears fall out.
It was an overwhelming flood of emotion hitting me at once.
I was ruined.
The past events leading up to this point flashed through my mind in more ways than I could help.
I really could not catch a break, could i?.
I was in that position, still thinking about my life before the door opened again. I rolled my eyes thinking it was Helios again “I told you I needed space from you” I groaned, sounding very salty at the moment.
“I am sorry. but you have to eat” I sat up straighter, facing what I hoped was the door. It
was Constance.
I was disappointed to find out it wasn’t Helios. Yes I had driven him away but I thought he would stay
It was complicated.
“oh” was all I said. I heard her footsteps, letting her come in fully before I asked the question she had tried to escape earlier
