Carolina shook with fear at the threats of the unknown man echoing all over the place. The darkness in the whole building was not helping matters too. Suddenly, Carolina felt a pair of hands grab her neck tightly. She felt her muscles tense as she tried to process what was going on around her.The man's grip on her was so tight that she feared he was going to strangle her to death. Just the mere thought of being murdered in the dark by someone she couldn't see made her so afraid.Carolina let out an ear-piercing scream amidst the strange man's hold on her neck, she knew she had to give it her all to see that she was set free.Connor heard Carolina's distressed cry and was puzzled at first."Carolina?" Connor muttered in confusion, the gun in his hands still pointed directly at Liliana's head.He could tell who the voice belonged to, his Mate. But he began contemplating if Carolina was actually here for real or if he was just hallucinating."Carolina is in here?" He thought in his hea
Amidst the confusion and many thoughts that were going through Mirabel's head, she did not hesitate to notice how tense the environment suddenly turned.Luc's injury was still causing excruciating pain to him as he kept groaning and trying his best to subdue the pain and slowly heal himself. No one seemed to pay any attention to him though, everyone's eyes were wandering around the building waiting to hear again from whomever was speaking to them on the speaker.Mirabel's forehead creased as she tried to make meaning out of their gloomy expression.Connor on the other head was glad that the light was back on, He could finally see everyone and probably decipher if truly his mate was here with him.But his face fell when he did not see any sign of Carolina. Though his wolf kept sniffing around with the mindset that Carolina was still in the building. Liliana tried to wriggle out of Connor's grip when she noticed he was getting distracted but he held her tighter, pressing the gun to he
Connor was thrown into a fit of anger, he could not control the rage that emitted from his nostrils and ears as he glared dead at the guard who looked appalled to see him too.But being a rogue and so fearless, the guard let out a deep growl of annoyance towards Connor's disturbance, riling him up the more.Connor found his demeanor rude and offensive, not to mention the fact that he was a rogue and was one of the group of wolves he detested the most.Connor growled back at him in a warning tune slightly looking over Carolina's body to see if she sustained any kind of injury.The guard leaped into the air and shifted into his wolf form, he bared his teeth at Connor, daring him to fight.Connor felt insulted, "the guts he has!" He roared and bent on all fours.His bones made cracking sounds as he began to shift to his wolf, his eyes not letting the sight of the guard who was already peeing himself just by the look in Connor's eyes He knew he was done for and instantly released Carolin
Connor turned abruptly still in his wolf form with Hardulph behind him as soon as he heard the sound of the gunshot and Carolina gasping lightly.It never occurred to him that wherever the gunshot came from might hurt Carolina and so when he turned his back and saw Carolina slowly falling to the floor while clutching her stomach which was already bleeding, He instantly shifted to his human form and rushed to grab her before she gets to the floor. His clothes were slightly ripped from shifting too quickly but he did not seem to bother about that, he just held Carolina in his arms, his forehead creased in worry and his heart beating fast.Carolina spurted blood out of her mouth, her breathing became fast and she was sweating rapidly.Connor's eyes fell on her wound and he clenched his jaws holding Carolina tightly. His face searched hers in pity.Carolina managed a smile amidst her bloody mouth while staring at Connor, relieved that she fell in his arms instead of the cold floor.Her p
"What happened to her?" Jack asked when he beheld the deep wound Carolina had on her stomach. "She was shot. By that lanky wolf. She wants to kill Carolina at all costs But I won't let her" Connor responded and glared hard at Mirabel."Pray her condition does not worsen else, you will live the rest of your life in pain" Connor threatened and dashed out through the door, Carolina securely wrapped in his arms. Jack watched Connor leave the underground before turning back to stare at the remaining occupants in the room.Mirabel was still groaning in pain, she looked quite pitiful but Jack did not feel an ounce of pity for her.He would have hauled her up from the ground and beaten her to a pulp but she had already gotten a taste of her own medicine.Hitting her again would literally lead her to death and that is no news Connor would like to hear. Jack hated himself for not being able to protect Connor and Carolina earlier. Come to think of it, what else was his responsibility if not t
Connor and Jack stared at the doctor expectantly, they were expecting him to spill the beans already regarding Carolina's current situation.The doctor sighed deeply and buried his hands deep into his lab coat, a nervous smile forming on his lips.Connor was already growing out of patience waiting on the Doctor to calm down and break things down for him. He grabbed his neck angrily with his left hand."What the heck are you keeping in, spit it out already. How is Carolina?" He growled out.The doctor was filled with fear, he couldn't find his voice and his eyes were just widened in shock.Jack held Connor's other hand and tried to talk him out of acting rashly in the hospital."Alpha Connor, we are in public, let's hear what the doctor has to say first" Jack stated in a polite tune.Connor started to calm down, he slowly released his grip on the doctor who began panting for air."You need to calm down Sir, I wasn't the one that hurt the lady, why exert your anger on me?" The doctor ra
Liliana was still wide awake, struggling to be let loose. Mirabel on the other hand was quiet, she just lay motionless on the floor probably waiting on her wolf to begin healing. Luc too was also sat quietly in one corner of the dungeon, he was just staring at Liliana as she struggled to be loosened without saying a word.Jack asked that the tape that was used to cover Liliana's lips be removed so that he could hear what she has to say and it was pulled out of her lips with so much force that left her wincing loudly and cursing at the guard that took it off."What is the problem, young lady? What is it you want to say?" Jack requested while folding his hands across his muscular chest."I don't like it here. Take me away from here because this is the last place someone in my class should be found. I'm disappointed that I was treated this way. Like trash, an unimportant accessory" she ranted but Jack only stared back at her like she was saying gibberish.He only turned to the guard in
Jack observed the captives for some time, especially Liliana whom he was convinced had already gone Crazy and was acting out of her obsession with the Alpha.It was still a wonder to him how Liliana managed to still be alive even after proofs pointing to the fact that she died in that fire were blaring.Jack kept staring at Liliana in curiosity, he would have sworn that there was no way she would have come back to life but she was right there in a cell room in the dungeon, making lots of noise and creating scenes that one would find annoying and unpleasant. Suddenly reminding himself that he had other important things to do than staring at the noise maker, Jack left the dungeon to attend to other matters while warning the guards to keep keen eyes on the captives. Liliana was relentless in making sure she was taken out of her cell room. She kept banging on the door and screaming at the top of her voice despite being the only person in her cell. Mirabel had already gotten tired of ye
