[Lucian POV]
"How many days more?" I asked the same elder I had sent a message to come see me, the same one I had as an informant.
"Just a few more days, Alpha Lucian… and then I assure you that," he was saying, but I didn't give him the privilege to finish his words. My grasp went for his neck tightly, my eyes glinting fury red.
"Few days??" I growled with my gaze narrowing as I watched him grasp for breath.
"P..please," he pleaded almost. But I had no more time to waste. How dare him try and stop me?
I couldn't forget the feeling I had felt just an hour ago… Elara. How could she do that even though still mated to me?
I released my grasp on the man as he crumbled to the ground, his breath ragged as his hand tried releasing the pain he felt on his throat.
"This time I let you live, but I am sure you know that next time I won't," I said, bending down a little, making sure our gaze met.
