So here is the chapter and I hope y'all enjoy!!!!

P.S.  I can't believe it guys, MBOML is slowly coming to an end...
*****
I was engulfed in Lucien's large body when I woke up and his head was buried into my neck.  I slowly turned my head and looked down at him, making sure not to disturb his sleep.  He looked so relaxed and angelic when he slept, so unlike the hard and scary Lucien I knew. 

I looked over to the clock and saw it was 9:30am already and agreed that it was time to get up.  I tried my best to untangle myself from Lucien's arms but he stirred and pulled me back down into the bed while I huffed in annoyance.  Stubborn man. 
I tried to get up again but he locked his arms around my waist even tighter.

"Lucien, I know you're awake!  Let go of me now before I kick you in the balls - again,"  I threatened while he mumbled something that sounded like "bitch" into the pillow and released his hold on me.

I huffed again and muttered, "Asshole"and got up from the bed but not before I felt something like a hand hit me on my ass.

I yelped and spun around.
"Did you just spank me?"  I hissed at him while he looked like he was still sleeping but I didn't miss the way his lips twitched upwards but he continued not to say a word so I glared at him and stormed off into the bathroom and grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt on the way. 

I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth, threw on my clothes and exited the bathroom.

Lucien was no longer in the room so there was no one to abuse my butt. 

I proceeded to make my way downstairs and into the kitchen where I was greeted by everyone and the delicious smell of breakfast wafted up into my nose and my stomach growled at the aroma. 

"Morning, dearie.  How did you sleep?" Bridgeth smiled at me.

"Amazing actually," I said and grabbed a blueberry muffin and took a large bite.

"Ohhhh, Lucien must've really worn her out then," Jaycon smirked and wriggled his eyebrows from the table while Clayre tried to hold in her obvious laugh.

"Shut up you wet dog," I said with my mouth full of muffin while he glared at me.

"I'm nearly finished my Alpha training actually," He remarked.

"How long since you started?" I asked.

"Two years," He said proudly.

"Ha! For some people, they can get a job, buy a car, fall in love, buy a house, get married and have two babies in those two years while you're still a homeless, unemployed dickhead so fuck you're Alpha training!" I said and laughed at him.

Before he could come up with a plausible insult, Lucien strode into the room.

He came up behind me and wrapped his arm around my waist possessively.
While his other hand went to grab a muffin and took a bit out of it.

"Well good morning to you too, bro," Jaycon said while he gave me a death stare.

"I believe there was something you need to explain Isadora. About your disappearance perhaps." Lucien said.

"I did explain it but you guys thought I was crazy!" I defended myself.

"Don't worry Iz, you're not crazy," Jayson said.

"Thanks Jay," I smiled.

"Crazy doesn't define you enough so you're a PSYCHOTIC BITCH," He yelled.

I went to strangle the furry bastard but Lucien held me against his chest and restrained me from getting to Jaycon.

"Jaycon she's my bestfriend!" Clayre hit his arm and gave him a frown.

"Then I offer you my deepest condolences."

Soon I was going to squash Jaycon into a pulp.

"You two need to calm down," Lucien said while I tried to wriggle free from his grasp but he didn't budge so I just sighed and gave up and stayed squashed into his hard chest. Not that I was complaining or anything.

"What's with all the commotion down here?" Erynn appeared into the kitchen and looked at all of us.

"Nothing, Isadora and Jaycon were acting immaturely," Lucien said and turned his attention to me, "Before all the childish fighting, I think I wanted you to explain about your disappearance?"

I sighed.
"Okay I'll start from the beginning."
* * * * *
Once I was finished with all the explaining, the room was silent. And I hated that.

"Uh, so is anyone going to say anything or do I need to talk to myself?" I asked breaking the silence.

Lucien was the first to speak up.
"Well, it seems like what you said sounds true enough.  It's just that there was never a war with so many other creatures and beings intervening which makes this the biggest battle yet to come. We'll have to do what Nova told you, which is to go to the Amazon Rainforest and gather our allies as fast as possible. There isn't much time."

"Wait, so you believe me?" I asked, surprised.

"This isn't a joking matter, Isadora. I believe you." Lucien looked at me and I knew he was being dead serious.

"So what are we going to do then?" I took a sip of orange juice that Bridgeth had poured out.

"Bridgeth, can you please call my jet pilot and tell him we need to depart to Brazil in an hour. Kaitleen, please go and pack our clothes and other necessities as fast as you can." Lucien ordered the two ladies and they sprang into action.

"Hold up, we're going today?" I asked and felt like I totally wasn't prepared for any of this. Which I wasn't. I was supposed to be on a plane to meet some jungle women and ask them to randomly join in a war and think that it would be as simple as ABC? I might as well go look for Baloo, Bagheera and the rest of the Jungle Book characters!

"I'm coming with you bro," Jaycon got up and walked over to us while Clayre did the same.

"Me too," She said.

"Guys no, it's not safe. We need you two to stay here. I'm not going to lose my friends," I said in a strained voice. I had come so close to losing Clayre. I didn't want to drag her further into this mess. I felt like it was my job to take care and protect her after everything that had happened.

"We're not friends, Isadora," Clayre said in a small voice, "We're family and this is what we do."

"Clayre..." My chest tightened painfully. What was I going to do if I lost her? Heck, what was I going to do if I lost Jaycon or even Lucien? It was reckless. But Clayre and I have done some reckless things in the past but none to this kind of standard. I looked at Lucien to see what he thought of them coming with us.

"The more the merrier I guess," Lucien said after a pause.

"Yeah baby! Let's meet these jungle bitches!"

Now I see why Clayre and I are friends.

The plane ride was long and boring. I ate about half the food on the plane and was watching movies on the small TV right above where Jaycon and Clayre were sitting which was extremely distracting because they couldn't keep their hands off each other for five minutes. After a while, I just gave up and decided to go bother Lucien who was working on his laptop. I strolled over and plonked down into the seat next to him.

"Where are we landing?" I asked while he kept his gaze fixed on the laptop screen.

"In Brazil," He replied monotonously and I rolled my eyes.

"I know that but I meant what part of Brazil?"

"Right outside the Amazon Forest."

I raised my eyebrows?
"Hold up a sec, is that even allowed? Will the authorities not give out to us? I mean, we could be damaging rare species of plants and frighten all the animals there with the loud noise of the plane!"

"Not my problem," He said and tapped away at his keyboard.

"Of course it's your problem! Can't we just stop at the nearest airport and drive a car over to there instead?" I reasoned.

"No. It's a waste of time. We don't know how long we will be stuck in the Amazon for so we'll need to get there quickly."

I groaned. I wasn't much of an environmentalist but this was the freaking Amazon Rainforest we're talking about! This is the place where a lot of the ingredients in all our medication was extracted from! Lucien was a stubborn ass so I knew it was no use trying to talk to him further about it.

I had also brought a camera with me on the trip to take some bomb ass pictures in the forest.

What?

Can't blame a girl for having major Tumblr vibes.
