Things are about to blow open wide ❤️ 💕 💝
~Justin~ Everything happened so fast. Sophia was screaming, and Sebastien kicked the football hard right at David. His aim was good, too. The force surprised David, but Elaine and Charlotte had already apprehended him before the guards could come. I watched Charlotte give him a punch. While the kappas tackled him to the floor, Sophia kicked and spat on him. She was angry, and there could be only one reason for that rage. He must have touched her sometime while she was in captivity. The scum. I rushed to Sophia and held her. She was shaking as if reliving a memory again. She held me and buried her face against my chest while I tried to calm her down. She was completely spooked, and everyone was silent. Uncle Sylvester was in shock. This was supposed to be a fun evening, but it turned into this. "How is she?" My mother said, approaching us, and I signalled her to stay away. I doubted Sophia would want anyone to touch her right now. "What was his role? We need to know so we can ge
~Justin~ I was eager to get into it with David, not for his part in the crime but for being one of the people who ruined Sophia. The only reason she would react the way she did is because he got to her. He did something that got to her, and I planned to get to him in return. I planned to mess him up so well that he would never be normal again. "His Father is Alester Dimitrov, the fiftieth ruling house in the Volkov lineage. His mother is Ashley Nelson, Timothy's sister," Noah said, going through his tablet, and I smirked. Crushing him would be easier than I thought. "Don't worry, Justin; you and Jacob will get a go at him before we question him. Our folks don't have to know," Sebastien linked me, and though Uncle Leo said they were enablers and extremists, it was situations like this that warranted their expertise. We got into the room where David was tied up, and I watched Liam, Marvin, Oliver and Miles take off their shirts. I guess Jacob and I weren't the only ones that were o
~Justin~ We watched David work his way into panic mode. His mind was reeling on its own, and we allowed it. The good thing about Aristocrats is that they always ensure their family members are educated. David was well aware of the law when he committed the said crimes. He wouldn't be going free. At least, not that I know of. Everyone was silent, allowing David to stew in his fear. I caught a wif of urine and figured the guy might have pissed on himself. I couldn't believe Jewelles wanted to settle for this piece of shit. She might have had her reasons, reasons that Jacob had somehow wiped off. "We could try to get you a reduced sentencing. This means you won't be hanged with the others if it ever comes to that. All you need to do is give us something important so we can go easy on you, David," Sebastien said, even though it seemed like the guy had given up everything he knew. David had literally spilt his gut, and Sebastien was letting him know it wasn't enough. We still had the
~Harper~ Watching everyone leave from my window gave me a longing. It would have been nice to go on the mission with the others, to fight beside Adrian and prove my worth, but my mission was important, too. It would bring an end to the human trafficking trade, and it was an honour to be entrusted with such a huge task. It seemed it would be difficult since it would just be me and Lily, but I understood this was an opportunity for me to prove myself as a leader. I was sure Lily and I would be able to do a good job. Our parents finally had a suspect who they believed was the head of the trafficking ring. They knew the person was a woman, but the talk of the person being from Kaizen or Braile had thrown them off. David's interrogation had somehow made them narrow down their suspicions. It was someone who wasn't on Sophia's List. Ashley Nelson Dimitrov. There was no way her brother was that deep in the operations, and she wouldn't know. Her husband was an aristocrat, so for Timothy t
~Harper~ Lily and I met in the foyer by the entrance. My father and Uncle Theo were there. Uncle Theo was unstable. We had cheap coats on so they wouldn't see the clothes we had underneath. "Are you sure we can't send Kappas instead or recruit someone else?" My father said, and I shook my head. "You have always handled business yourself, and that has kept your people loyal, knowing they are not indispensable. Allow us to follow in your footsteps. We will protect your interest better than anyone, and we cannot be turned against our family." I said, and my father nodded, but worry still danced in his eyes. "Don't worry, Uncle, father. Harper and I won't be heroes. We won't try to save the girl at our expense. The instruction is clear. Once in, we bite the false tooth to send a distress signal. The signal will show you our location. We won't engage in battle," Lily promised, and her father pulled her into an embrace. Our mothers and aunties joined. They were more worried for us than t
~Harper~ "Strip,” Ashley ordered, and I was in shock. I wasn't expecting her to say that, but anyway, it was okay. I was grateful our disguises were foolproof and mainly on the face. False nose, contact lenses, thicker eyebrows, and different hair colours. We did not look like ourselves, but the false addition looked like part of us. We slowly took off our clothes. We had cotton underwear on, nothing expensive or over the top. She nodded in approval, seeing us in our underwear. "What kind of work did you do in Pridewood?" she asked. "We served at a Tarven," I said, and she laughed. "And you think you have what it takes to serve me?" She asked, almost as if mocking us. Lily and I looked at each other, and she snapped her fingers. Immediately, Silver was clamped on our wrists. And we were forced to our knees. "Two Delta wolves far away from home. What Noble family do you belong to?" She asked, walking towards us where we knelt. We acted as if we did not know what she was talking
~Adrian~ A feeling of unease washed through me as we headed to arrest Timothy, Gary, and Ethan. I should have been excited about it, but I was the only one that did not have my mate on my team. I didn't like that. I didn't like the fact that I wouldn't have eyes on Harper, and the fact that she was going to go on a mission without me made both Drake and me uneasy. I had so many things to say and do to Gary, but it would have to wait. Once we catch them, I would have to rush back so I could be part of the rescue team that would go get Harper and Lily. The idea seemed smart when we came up with it, but I spent the entire night pleading with Harper to decline. It seemed Harper had the need to prove herself, and I didn't want to be the type of man that would hold her back. Had I somehow made a mistake? Lord Albert had done me great service when he loaded the tracking app on my phone. The moment it begins to blink red, I plan to abandon whatever I am doing and head for Harper. Lo
~Adrian~ The rhythmic hum of the van's engine reverberated through my bones as we sped toward the airport. Liam and Oliver exchanged worried glances. The Kappa driving the van, pushed the vehicle to its limits. Our hearts raced, mirroring the urgency of the situation. Liam reached out to their father. It took a moment before the King responded, but it was crucial that they were informed, just in case they weren't actively checking. While I was confident they were keeping an eye on things, we couldn't afford to be careless. "Father, are you en route to Harper?" I overheard him inquire of his father. "You need to hurry; we're on our way there. They mustn't let them board a plane, or we might not locate them in time," Liam urged, voicing my concerns as he waited for a response. "Very well, that's good. But we're on our way. Halting all aircraft from taking off isn't sufficient, Father. These people have no regard for the law," Liam asserted. "Okay, we'll see you there," he told his
