Mirabel was able to successfully escape from Mr. Gregory's captivity. She went straight to Liliana's coven to have a word with her and let her know of her plans to get back at Hardulph."Where have you been?" Liliana requested the moment Mirabel made her entrance to the underground. Mirabel rolled her eyes at the tune she used on her but did not respond immediately. She only walked straight to a comfortable seat in the room and sat down, ignoring Liliana's earlier question."I have a plan. A plan to make Hardulph pay for making me fall head over heels for him only to break my heart in return. I am ready to exert my revenge on him for thinking of playing with my feelings in the first place" Mirabel stated coldly. Liliana smirked at her words and folded her hands across her breast. The thought of carrying out an evil plan made her elated in a way and she couldn't wait to hear what Mirabel had to say."Spit it out then, I haven't done anything mischievous in a long while" She uttered,
Liliana placed a call to some people to capture Helen, Hardulph's pregnant mate after Mirabel texted her that Hardulph was already with her. The plan was to lead Hardulph far off the city so that they could easily take his mate into captivity without his knowledge.Besides, he was going to be too far to trace her scent when they get hold of her and so wouldn't be able to find her so easily. This was unknown to Hardulph who did not have the littlest idea that Mirabel was already aware of his plans with Connor and had started her revenge already. Mirabel pulled out of the kiss and smiled coyly at Hardulph who tried his best to hide his discomfort while smiling back at her. "Come, I want to show you something" Mirabel uttered and began pulling Hardulph's hands away from where they were initially standing.Hardulph was relieved that his plans with Connor will soon come to an end, now that it is obvious that Mirabel was in love with him. He was just going to get her open up to him in
Hardulph winced painfully and slowly opened his eyelids which had been closed since he was knocked out by Mirabel.His head ached badly and his eyes felt heavy, Hardulph was strangely tired and he began to wonder what was amiss with his system.At first, his eyesight was blurred and he couldn't make out where he was or the objects before him. He could tell that someone was before him because of how thick his scent was.Hardulph shook his head violently and blinked countlessly before opening his eyes to behold Liliana who was just in front of him and glaring daggers at him.Hardulph's eyes widened and his mouth became dry in an instant. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and thought maybe he was in a dream.He tried to pinch himself to confirm the possibility of seeing correctly only to realize that his hands were tied from behind and he was on a wooden chair. Hardulph tried to wriggle free from the clutches of the rope that was used to hold him down but his efforts were futile. T
As if on cue, Mirabel walked in on Hardulph requesting to see his mate, and frowned upon it."Who are you talking about? Who is Helen and why are you asking after her as soon as you regained consciousness instead of me? I thought we had something together, Hardulph" Mirabel snarled and came out fully so that Hardulph was shocked to see her in Liliana's coven of all places.His mind wandered back to how he suddenly became unconscious when the last thing in his memory was spending time with Mirabel as they watched a group of dancers, he knew at once that Mirabel and Liliana were working hand in hand. "You, you made me pass out" he snarled at Mirabel who only shrugged and made her way before him. It was at that time he felt the sharp pain at the back of his head which came about as a result of the effect of the bat Mirabel used on him, the bump was very visible."You've not answered my question, Hardulph, who is Helen?" Mirabel retorted and Hardulph clenched his jaw in rage."Helen is
Mirabel fell to the floor on her butt as a result of the force Liliana used in shoving her out of the way. She let out a small whimper and rubbed herself soothingly while glaring daggers at Liliana behind her back.Liliana turned to give her a dirty look before turning back to Hardulph who was just watching the drama before him without saying a word. "So Hardulph, what is your reply to my request? Are you willing to do something for me in exchange for Helen and your pup?" She inquired, smiling down at Hardulph creepily.Hardulph did not say a word but only stared back at Liliana blankly. He was trying to figure out what tricks the slimy ladies had up their sleeves."Where are my manners? You know what, I will give you some time Hardulph, think about it, and by the time I'm back, I hope to get a tangible response from you. Remember Helen's life lies in your hand now, if I were you, I will play my cards well" Liliana smirked and patted Hardulph on the shoulder. She shot Mirabel who wa
Mirabel gathered enough information that her hand could grasp about Liliana. She made her way to Connor's mansion with the hope that they will hear her out by the time she comes with news that she has found the person that attacked Connor's long-lost cousin, Kayla.Or the proof that she knew the identity of the masked man that tried to stab Carolina once. Mirabel was filled with so much courage that things would go according to plan, Connor and Carolina would believe she and Liliana would be apprehended or even taken out of the picture at worse.She drove straight to Connor's house while smiling to herself. She horned for the big gate to open up for her but a built guard came out instead.Mirabel knew it was one of Connor's men and thought he would let her in if she told him of her reasons for showing up. "Miss Mirabel, the Alpha has announced that you shouldn't be found anywhere near his home for any reason" he stated."I know, but I..", "If you will just leave right now it will b
Mr. Gregory's eyes narrowed at Mirabel after she had explained her reasons for showing up."How am I sure that this is not one of your stunts Mirabel, you and I know how deceptive and tricky you can be. You may have disclosed the identity of Liliana when it might not be true that she is indeed living just so that you can divert my attention from the real person you are working with" Connor's uncle uttered and relaxed on his seat while folding his hands across his chest.Mirabel shrugged, "I have proof to back this report but I can see you are not interested to dig more into it. I will just take the envelope.."Mr. Gregory gripped her arm instantly, restricting her from getting hold of the envelope. "Not so fast" He smirked and grabbed the envelope in his other hand. He gave Mirabel a little stare before releasing his grip on her. Mirabel rolled her eyes and relaxed in her seat, watching Connor's uncle open the envelope to check out its content. Mr. Gregory's eyes popped when he cau
Connor was in his study room when Jack knocked and ushered himself in. Connor looked up at him from the book he was going through, his brow arched."Greetings Alpha Connor" his beta greeted respectfully, "got news from the guard on duty that Mirabel came around" Jack reported.Connor banged his hands on the table and stood up abruptly, "What? How could she make such a risky decision? Is she not afraid of her life?" He snarled, scrunching the paper in his hand in anger."She wasn't allowed in by the way but something surprising happened instead" Jack uttered and Connor's forehead furrowed."What are you talking about?" He inquired sitting back down in his seat."Mirabel was knocked out and driven away from the estate entirely by someone" Jack answered and that piqued Connor's interest instantly."What you are trying to say is that Mirabel might have been kidnapped right in front of my mansion?" Connor probed with raised brows and Jack nodded to affirm his words."But what made this all
