Carolina's eyes widened as the realization of how dangerous her environment was flashed at the back of her mind. "How did I even end up here? Who brought me down here? What exactly happened?" Carolina asked rhetorically, staring inside the murky water covered with a herd of hungry crocodiles just beneath her. She felt the surface she was standing on wobble and reduce in height, her heart palpitating in so much fear. Carolina staggered slightly but didn't fall because of the chains that were used to securely hold her hands above her head so that she would not free herself.She tugged violently at the chain but it did not show any sign of coming off soon instead she felt very weak on the inside. It was so weird to her because Carolina could recall that she had been in that position before.That was when Mirabel locked her in Liliana's basement back then in the mansion after using wolfsbane on her. She was willing to find her way out but was so weak to even lift a finger.The feeling
As if Liliana could hear the plans the Alphas were plotting against her, she gave a sly smirk before turning towards a door. Connor went into a chase after her but she was quick to enter and barge the door, her heart beating fast in trepidation."You better come out of there witch! Because if I end up bringing you out myself, you won't like the outcome" Connor thundered while pounding on the door with so much force. "Quit bluffing already Connor, you would have to bring down this door to get to me so save yourself the stress. Besides, by the time I send your stupid mate's corpse to you, I'm sure you will calm down" Liliana retorted from inside the room, smiling to herself.Connor knocked even harder, "Don't test me, Liliana! Touch a single strand of her hair and see what happens to you" Connor roared."Blah blah blah, go away already Connor, unless you want to end up like your dear friend Hardulph. Don't you see the Alpha has become such a good boy, he now seats on the floor and nev
Carolina did not know what to do regarding the news Connor's uncle had just revealed to her.Without a doubt, she had been restless from the time the letter Connor received stated that Liliana was alive. Carolina could not help but feel that there was more attached to the letter and now Mr. Gregory had just proven her suspicions.She stared at the car Connor's uncle was in as it drove away before turning to the said guard that would convey her to wherever it is that Liliana is keeping Connor hostage."Let's go" she uttered and entered the car without waiting for any of the guards to usher her in.As soon as she settled in the car, her mind wandered back to the corpse she saw. "There is no doubt that Liliana has a hand in that murder just like Connor's uncle stated but what had the poor woman done wrong to her that costs her life? How is it even possible that Liliana lives and most especially, how did Mr. Gregory discover my location?" Carolina wondered in her mind, staring outside t
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
