Chapter Eight

Groggily waking up Lorenzo looked around unsure of where he was at. In the room he was in was a dull-grey color with steel bars that covered the windows.

The room smelled of mold and dried blood that indicates that the room has not been cleaned properly. There was a cart full of tools that he was used to seeing which were used to create various cuts along his body.

He was in a metal chair that had chains wrapped around his body, preventing him from moving. Thinking of Emilia he jolted up when he remembered what happened last night.

He sniffed the air to smell if her scent was anywhere near him but he could not smell her. Feeling hopeless he started moving around but the chain's constricted his movement.

Growling he started to put more force into escaping the chains until it fell with a loud clank. Standing up he rotated his shoulders to get the feeling back and rubbed his sore wrists.

Looking around for the door he saw it and started walking towards it. Turning the knob that wouldn't budge caused annoyance to roll off his body in waves.

He started shoving his whole body trying to bust it down. "You won't get her back if you misbehave," Father's voice echoed in the room.

Twisting his head to glare at father, Lorenzo felt his eyes turn black. "Where is she? Where is my mate, if you don't give her back to me I will tear this place down and watch it burn." Lorenzo snarled showing his canines.

Father chuckled, "If you do that you may burn her down as well." He gestured towards a mirror and snapped his fingers.

Instantly it showed Emilia who was unconscious and strapped in a metal bed. He ran towards the glass and banged his hands on it, "Let her out."

Wagging a finger Father said, "Not yet, she needs to be healed." In a few seconds, a doctor came in wearing a white haze suit, and he was holding a beaker that was filled with a liquid.

Lorenzo grew anxious, he was unaware of what was going to happen. The doctor turned to Father and he nodded his head which signaled for the doctor to pour the liquid onto Emilia.

Getting closer to Emilia, the doctor tipped the beaker slowly over her abdomen, out came black liquid. Smelling it, Lorenzo was unable to identify what the smell was and he grew worried.

Once the liquid touched her skin, Emilia opened her eyes screaming. She thrashed around in pain, releasing a howl that sent shivers down Lorenzo's spine.

It sounded so painful and he started banging on the glass, small cracks had formed and father noticed this. "Stop before this animal gets out of control and breaks the glass," Father said disgustedly.

Lorenzo growled and watched as the doctor stepped back. He saw how Emilia heaved in pain, biting her lip to prevent tears from falling.

He felt hopeless, he couldn't help her out feeling as if he failed her. Tears pricked his eyes at the thought of her hating him crossed his mind.

Emilia stilled as she smelt his familiar scent and turned her head towards the glass. "Enzo?" She mumbled tiredly.

He snapped his eyes at her, feeling as if she could see his eyes as they made contact. "Yes," he said tearfully.

She smiled, "I'm glad you're okay and not in any pain from the drug that they gave you." Lorenzo smiled sadly that she still worried for him even though she was in pain herself.

"I'm okay, I'm just worried about you, are you alright mate?" Lorenzo asked silently cursing. Of course, she wasn't okay, he could see the sweat that was pouring down her body.

She shook her head, I'm okay she mouthed. He knew she was lying trying to make her seem that she was unbothered by the pain.

But he knew her better than anyone to know that she was going through a lot of pain even though she wasn't showing it.

"I don't think she is healed yet, pour a little more onto her," Father said. Emilia's eyes widen and she started thrashing again trying to escape her restraints.

Lorenzo snapped and held father in a headlock. "You better tell him to move away from her or your head will be gone in the next 3 seconds. So I suggest you make a decision," Lorenzo snarled.

"One."

"Two."

"Thr-"

"Okay fine, move away you are dismissed," Father said quickly. Lorenzo slammed father's head onto the edge of the cart which caused father to fall unconscious.

Smirking proudly, Lorenzo looked up to see Emilia alone in the room. So he grabbed the metal chair that he was in, "Emilia brace yourself glass will be flying."

Closing her eyes, she turned her head away from the glass. Lorenzo made sure that she was not facing the glass and slammed the chair against the glass with all his force.

The glass shattered in millions of pieces and Lorenzo felt his heart drop when some of the glass cut Emilia's skin.

Throwing the chair he leaped over the glass not caring if he got cut himself, he was only worried for Emilia.

Feeling sparks as he touched her cheek, he sighed in content. Looking over her he said, " I'm going to untie you is that okay?"

She giggled and nodded her head while watching as he ripped through the restraints. She was practically like jelly from how the way she fell out of the bed.

Lorenzo quickly catches her in his arms and held her tightly. He kissed her cheek, "I'm going to get them back for harming you, my love."

Emilia swooned at the nickname and felt her cheeks go red. Lorenzo could hear her heartbeat speed up and lowly chuckled at how adorable she was.

"Let's get out of here yeah?" Lorenzo whispered to her. All she could do was nod her head, ripping the door off its hinges they made their way through the hallway.

No one was in sight which made Lorenzo confused and on high alert. The sound of footsteps and soft breathing was the only sound throughout the quiet hallway.

It calmed them to know that they were together again. Holding her closer to his body as he heard sounds coming from a door that was nearby.

He looked towards Emilia and noticed that she was resting. So he quietly crept the closer he got to the door.

After a couple of feet, he started running towards a faint smell of wood and rain. He knew he was close to an exit but an alarm rang throughout the building.

A red light going off creating a horror movie, the sound so loud that it woke up Emilia. She was frightened and that pushed Lorenzo to run faster to escape the torment that they have faced for years.

Coming to a stop Lorenzo sat Emilia down on the ground. "I'm going to shift into my wolf to help us get out faster, do you think you can hold on tight?"

Emilia nodded her head at his words, she would make sure that she doesn't fall off. She wouldn't dare risk the guards catching them and punishing them until they submit.

Eyes full of determination she looked to Lorenzo who was in his wolf form. Clothes sprawled on the floor she chuckled and grabbed them.

Standing up she wobbled her way to him, positioning his body so she could climb onto his back. She marveled at the feeling of his soft fur and held on tightly.

Standing up taller Lorenzo started running towards a nearby exit. "There they are get them," Father screamed trying to not them escape.

All his hard work would go to waste if he let them escape. He would be a laughing stock to all the other scientists, and that brought a scowl to his face.

Emilia growled and laid her face near Lorenzo's wolf ears. "Don't stop for nothing Lorenzo, get us out here safely," she whispered.

Grunting as a response he tackled a guard while ripping his head off. Blood trickled from his lips, frightening the guards who were nearby.

They didn't want to end up like the dead man on the floor they ran the other way, too terrified to face the wrath of Lorenzo.

Looking around for the door Lorenzo saw that it was being guarded by Father and his guard dogs. Growling lowly he watched as some of them flinched.

Walking slowly towards them, one by one he heard their heartbeat increase. "Be careful Enzo," Emilia whispered while placing a kiss on his head.

She realized that one of them wouldn't escape, she would sacrifice herself for Lorenzo to escape. She made up her mind and knew that nothing could change it.

Lorenzo stopped walking when he felt Emilia jump off his back and turned his head confusedly at her.

"I'm sorry, my love but I cannot go on like this. They must be destroyed and the only way to do that is if you're out there." Emilia whispered sadly.

Lorenzo started to growl not wanting her to stay in the clutches of these men. She meant the world to him and he couldn't even fathom on leaving her behind.

"Shush, listen to me Enzo, find your family. Reunite with them, spend time with them and come back to help me defeat our demons together. Just us both we can't defeat them, love, we are no match for their weapons. Bring back warriors who are willing to fight, convince them to join our cause." Emilia whispered and placed a loving kiss on his head.

He whimpered at the loss of her touch as he watched her go in front of him, protecting him from any harm.

"I want to make a proposal father." Emilia declared.

"Go on," Father spoke while raising a brow.

"Let Lorenzo go, he does not need to be here. I'm the one you want, isn't that the reason you created me? To do experiments on me, to run tests, to make me be under your control. I will let you do whatever you want as long as you set him free."  Emilia said with tears in her eyes.

Father thought this over, he would still have his creation here at the lab. But he won't be able to create more without Lorenzo.

He roamed his eyes over their form seeing how Lorenzo was in a fight stance. He knew he would be back, he just didn't know when and he could use that to his advantage.

Bringing harm upon Emilia would send him back in no time. Smirking, he licked his lips as he decided to let him go.

"Alright, Emilia, Lorenzo can go but I want you back to your cell. You will be engulfed in darkness for 2 weeks with little to no food. Are you willing to sacrifice your freedom for his?" Father questioned.

"Yes, I am willing to sacrifice my freedom for his," Emilia said in determination. Father didn't like the fire in her eyes, he wants her to submit to him and be the worthless creature that she is.

He wanted to break her, see how far she can go before submitting to him. And he knew just where to start, as his eyes flickered to Lorenzo's form.

"Okay, guards stand back and lower your weapons," Father spoke and gestures towards them to move out of the way.

Emilia turned to Lorenzo with happiness radiating off her. "Enzo, this is your chance to be free. To finally be able to go back home, your family must miss you."

Lorenzo shook his head whining trying to communicate that she was his home. He didn't need anyone else but her.

"I can only go as far with you to the gates but beyond that no more. I must stay here to try to take them down." Emilia said.

Shaking his head he stepped back not wanting to leave her here. He knew that once he was gone they would do despicable things to her, things that he couldn't imagine.

"Enzo, don't make this harder than this has to be. You know my strength matches yours so if I have to I will drag you. This is the only way we can be free, my love it hurts to know you won't be by my side. But I have been alone for the longest even before you so I can manage," Emilia stated trying to prove her point.

Rubbing his head on her stomach he whines, "I know how much it hurts Enzo but it's the only way." Emilia said while petting his head, " Let me walk you to the gates."

She started walking and Lorenzo followed her getting close to her as possible. He didn't want to waste the time he had left with her as he knew they wouldn't reunite for a while.

Emilia looked around in awe as she saw the metal fence surrounding the whole area, she turned her head to Lorenzo. "Do you think the rest of the world sees fences around their property like us? Or is it way beautiful then what it is now?" She questioned in awe.

Lorenzo just snorted he knew the world was beautiful she has just not experienced that yet. He looked at her trying to remember everything about her, he would try to hurry back to her so she would feel less pain.

"We're here Lorenzo, this is your stop," Emilia said with a sad smile present on her lips. Lorenzo just stared at her and shifted in front of her.

He smiled sadly at her red cheeks and saw how she closed her eyes. "You have got to stop doing that to me," Emilia giggled as she had her hands on her face.

"Never for I'm the only man you will ever see naked, my body is yours just as your body is mine," Lorenzo mumbled darkly. "Alright calm down their big boy, I only want to see you anyways because you are my mate," Emilia giggled.

Lorenzo puffed his chest out in pride liking that Emilia only wants him. He stepped towards her and wrapped his arms around her frame.

"I'm going to miss you mate so much, when I see you again I'm not letting you out of my sight. I'm only doing this for you because you think we can take them down so I trust your judgment. Just, just don't replace me for someone else while I'm not here." Lorenzo said while stroking her cheek.

"I could never replace you, you are my everything Enzo and your all mine," Emilia said with dark eyes.

Lorenzo chuckled as he looked lovingly at her, he leaned in and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I will be back soon mate, don't let them hurt you because if they do they will die by my hands," Lorenzo growled out darkly.

"Come back quickly my love you are the only thing I will miss. And I can take good care of myself, don't you worry your handsome head over it." Emilia smiled.

Lorenzo smiled softly and brought their bodies closer. "Anything for you mate, you are my purpose in life and that is to serve you, my queen."

Emilia blushed beet red, "And my purpose is to serve you, my king, now go and reunite with your family."

Pressing a kiss one last time on her forehead he whispered his promises of coming back to her. Reluctantly letting go of her he moved away, and she handed him his clothes.

He tied it around his front leg before shifting into his beautiful black wolf. He pressed his head into her stomach one last time as she petted his head. 

He reluctantly pulled away from her and started moving away. "Goodbye my love," Emilia whispered with tears threatening to fall from her brown eyes.

Walking towards the edge of the woods Lorenzo looked back at her once more before running into the forest.

Tears fell from her eyes as she saw how his form disappeared completely.

"Emilia it's time to come back in, no time to waste for your punishment. You have brought this upon yourself," Father shouted at her.

Balling her fist up Emilia vowed on her life to destroy the man she calls father. She couldn't wait till the day she sees him dying, but she couldn't forget about Francisco.

He would also pay for his crimes, she would rip them into shreds.

"Emilia!" Father screamed at her causing her to come back to reality. She rolled her eyes before turning her head.

"Yes, father of mine?" Emilia snarkily replied. "Come inside at once," Father yelled back.

She sighed before trodding back to her personal hell. She hoped Lorenzo will reunite with his family, she couldn't fight the smile that threatened to show on her face.

The sound of the door closing told her that she was back inside with no one by her side.

She looked at her father and a smile spread on her lips knowing that she would take his life. And she couldn't be happier as she skipped down the hallway going back to her old cell.
