Hardulph, Jack and some of the guards watched as Alpha Connor and his mate reunited again. Jack could not hide his happiness, he was genuinely happy that Connor had finally found his mate.Connor raised Carolina's face away from his chest and peered at her face. Her eyes were still clouded in tears and her shoulders shuddered as the tears rolled off. Connor wiped them off with his thumb and gave her a smile, "Caro, you're safe now. I won't let you go through this anymore, I will keep you safe forever, believe me" he said with all seriousness. Carolina's face lit up, she smiled in between her tears as Connor pulled her into a hug again."Shush, you're safe now" Connor cooed as he patted her head like a little child. Carolina’s heart leapt for joy, she was finally back in the arms of whom she belonged to and that made her elated. Her happiness did not lie in Luc's friendship nor his offer for her to become free, rather it was with Connor, in the arms of her mate."Let's go home Connor"
Carolina's eyes fluttered open, as she tried to grasp the moment and what happened earlier. Her eyes were blurry and fuzzy and she didn’t have a clearer image of her surroundings as she felt a sharp pain in her forehead and sat upright on the bed. Swallowing the heavy lump that formed in her throat, she swirled her gaze around the room and slowly, all the memories from earlier flooded her head and that was when she realized that she actually got so lost in her ecstasy that she actually spent the night with Connor. Her mouth was slightly agape as she stared down at the hand wrapped around her waist and when she caught sight of his tousled hair, the only thing she wanted to do was run her hands through his hair. She hated the fact that she was slowly warming up to him but she couldn’t help it because despite everything that she had gone through in his hands, she missed him greatly. Connor's eyes flicked open as well and when he caught sight of Carolina, his heart slammed against his
Connor was confused as to what she meant by Luc being the one who saved her instead because he was damn convinced that Luc was the one behind it because apart from being the one who abducted her, he still had the effrontery and temerity to threaten him.Connor chuckled lightly as he shook his head. “Luc must have tried to brainwash you so that he doesn’t look like he is at fault or something but I am here to tell you that Luc is the one who abducted you! I would make sure that he is punished so well that he would never come close to you again. Whenever he spots you from afar, he would run for his life because I am going to teach him a lesson that he would never forget for the rest of his life”At that moment, Carolina knew that Connor had a misconception about her connection to the missing case. “No, Connor you are misunderstanding the whole thing and that isn’t what happened that day. Luc wasn’t the one who kidnapped me but the thing is that I have been in the house all along while
Connor sprang to his feet as fast as possible while he slipped his hands down his pocket as he placed a call through Jack for them to release Luc as fast as possible. He was enraged with the fact that he thought Luc was the culprit all along only for it to turn out that the culprit had been in the house."Could it be one of the maids? Who could it be?" Connor thought to himself as he was in a dilemma while wondering who the culprit was and who could be the one who was involved in all the mysterious things that had been happening. It also made me wonder what could be the motive behind everything that had happened and what the culprit really wanted. “I must get to the root of this! No matter how much it takes” Connor thought and he forced out a smile when Carolina appeared before him.“Has he been released? I would like to talk to him before he leaves to at least thank him for everything and for the misconception of everything that had been happening. I really want to tell him how sorr
Both men glared daggers at themselves but Connor, on recollecting the reason he had come to meet Luc in the first place, threw his face off and took a deep breath."Look here Luc, I never killed Liliana. I need you to believe me, if you're doing all you are doing to my family just because you want to avenge Liliana's death, then you should stop because I did not Kill her, you are only punishing the innocent. I'm innocent of your accusations Luc" Connor stated and Luc's brows furrowed."All I have been doing to your family? Connor, I have not even started. Keeping Carolina with me was my first approach to revenge" Luc revealed to Connor's astonishment."You mean you have no hand in the blackmailing and attack of Kayla? You did not send any threatening text to me?" Connor asked and Luc shook his head. “ Of course not, why will I do that?" He returned. Connor sighed deeply, Luc was never the culprit, but who then was after his life?"I'm sorry for attacking you Luc, trust me I did it ou
Connor gulped down nothing, his face white like he had seen a ghost, Carolina's sudden request to see Kayla took him off guard. He shifted uncomfortably and avoided her gaze.Carolina noticed how strangely Connor was behaving and became puzzled."What could be the reason Connor is suddenly tense? Perhaps he didn't hear me" Carolina thought within herself and went ahead to poke Connor."Where is Kayla, Connor?" She asked with all seriousness. Connor could not look into her eyes, he didn't want to answer her question because he knew she would be so hurt. He tried to avoid the question and maybe talk about something else, totally different from what will bring Kayla to the table."Urmm maybe she's busy with work or something. Why don't you let her be for now, we will talk about her later" Connor said with a nervous smile, he prayed she would be convinced by his excuse.Carolina only nodded, "Ok then, let's talk after you must have released Luc, I will be inside," She said and Connor nodd
The doctor turned to Connor who was quietly watching him as he attended to Carolina. He gave him a soft smile, "Alpha Sir, Your mate is not in any critical condition. She only fainted out of the shock at what I suspect to be maybe a piece of bad news or trauma?" He explained and Connor nodded."Bad news, she heard something she was not supposed to hear of yet" Connor answered calmly and the doctor nodded, "Right, bad news. Well, she is alright sir, and will soon wake up, don't panic," the doctor said and made to carry his briefcase so that he would start leaving. "One more thing, if she awakes, avoid anything that will make her remember the sad news. And even if she does remember, don't leave her side and sympathize with her. She can throw violent tantrums or just sit there looking into space. At that moment, don't force her into a conversation or chide her to get a hold of herself. She will get better and accept the fact with time" The doctor stated and proceeded to bow in respect,
Mirabel's face paled and all she could think about was a way to deal with Luc in ways that he would never decipher. She was so angry that Luc was going to expose her evil act and have her kicked out or worse still killed. Then he would be the one to achieve all his plots towards Connor's throne and not her. "Never!" She spat and stumped inside the house.Earlier on, After Connor had carried Carolina inside to be attended to, Jack was asked to release Luc. Jack was not happy about it, he didn't want to believe that Luc was innocent but still he had to carry out the instructions of the Alpha. He entered the room where Luc sat, wallowing in his thoughts. His entrance caused Luc to look up and when their eyes met, they both stared at each other, different thoughts running through their minds.Luc was aware that Jack didn't like him as much but he was most worried about Carolina's status. "The Alpha says you can leave his mansion. You are free to go Luc" Jack stated with an expression
