"I actually thought they were exaggerating your injuries, but it is no exaggeration. They are hideous."
"I suppose you are right." Hannah said staring at her facial expression. It was full of disgust. Hannah knew it must look awful, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Hannah saw she was wearing a very high cut dress, most of her leg shone, she was so beautiful, and Hannah feared her beauty. Luki knew the art of seduction, and Hannah did not. Still, she realized there was a real jealousy between them. She was jealous of Luki's beauty and Luki was jealous of her courage.
"I suppose the rumors are true, you have been a brave one then." She said with distaste. "Has Lone Wolf seen the scars? They are very ugly. Black, blue, and now burnt. How can he look upon you as a beautiful woman, with a back like that?"
Hannah cringed at her words. She knotted her hands and pulled on the blanket below her. She would not grab the bait. Luki wanted a fight to the end over Lone Wolf. Right now, Hannah was not up to fighting.
"Yes, he was here when they sealed my new wounds with the fire." Hannah told her.
"And
he still wants to marry you?" Luki scoffed
"Yes…"
"Then I suppose he truly does love you because they are certainly not your best feature."
"Is that all you came to say?"
"No, unlike you, my back is smooth, tan, and flawless, it is easy on the touch or eyes." Luki said staring at her with a smug smile.
"I'm sure it is." Hannah replied almost sadly.
"I have come to make a peace with you. Because of your bravery, and my tribe has seen and heard of it, I must make a peace with you because of my people. You have suffered greatly, it is true. But… I fear you will also suffer more when I take Lone Wolf from you…"
"Are you threatening me, Luki." Hannah sighed. "I too wish a peace between us. But you must realize we will marry soon."
"Will it profit you to marry him, if I seduce him?"
"Why do you want him so badly. You aren't in love with him."
"No, I'm in lust with his body. He is a beautiful man, we both know that. There is not a man around here or my camp that can compare. He is big and strong, and I want him. I want to make him my slave, to do my bidding, while married to you. I want to see the lust in his eyes when I strip my clothes off in front of him. I want to see him beg for my kisses."
"Why do you hate me?" Hannah suddenly asked.
"I don't. I simply want him. I'm indifferent to you."
"I thought you wanted peace."
"Do not think it changes anything, it only makes my tribe happy that I do this. I still long for Lone Wolf's body. If he asked, I would still come to him, be with him. But you have won him with this bravery and I do respect that. Still, you must know, if he ever weakens and wants me, I will be his, too. Do you understand? And once he has me, he will never let me go. For I am a perfect lover. And my body has no scars, he will see this, appreciate it."
"Yes, I do understand! You do not seek peace with me, you want a war!" Hannah could not believe this woman, but still, she was honest. She had to respect her enemy, and Luki was her enemy.
"It is good you understand this, as I will look for ways to win his love too. For he is a magnificent man and I crave his body."
"You might have won him if you'd offered your heart first Luki, and not your body."
"I'll remember that, maybe I'll find a way after all." She told her and laughed.
"Good day to you Luki." Hannah sighed.
She chuckled, "Good day Hannah."
It was not a good day for Hannah though. Lying on her stomach, unable to get up yet, she ached to be with Lone Wolf, to have his reassurance that this vile woman would never have him. How could she win battling a woman like Luki?
She worried over how ugly her back was.
