Carolina blinked countlessly at Luc's revelation, her body grew cold as she recollected that Connor had told her something about Luc some time ago.Luc is a bad guy, he is dangerous too. Connor had told her that Luc was the name of one man he had killed but didn't know how he was saved. It was all making sense to her now, it never occurred to her that Luc could be the same person Connor had told her about.Realization dawned on her and she swallowed sharply, Luc was the man Connor was talking about, no wonder he was so overprotective of her when it comes to Luc. This also explains their strong hatred toward each other. She was curious to know the story behind it but at the moment, her body was cold with fear.Carolina began to dress back on the bed, she didn't want to stay close to Luc because she was now afraid of him.On the other hand, Luc was happy that she had finally calmed down, he made to touch her hand but she fled like Luc's hand was suddenly made of fire. Luc was perplexed,
Connor was confused as to the relationship Mirabel shared with his uncle, Mr. Gregory. He never expected the person Mirabel accorded so much respect and had sneaked out to see was his uncle and so he was perplexed.He didn't just want to stand at the side and watch them, he wanted to know what their relationship was all about and so he confronted them.Mirabel heard footsteps approaching her from behind and turned abruptly, on the other hand, Mr. Gregory raised his eyes to see the intruder, and they were both surprised to see Connor. "Connor? How did you get here?" Mr. Gregory asked in shock while Mirabel watched Connor come closer like she was in a trance. Connor got to them and stared at both of the expressionlessly.His uncle pulled his hand, "I never expected to see you here son, but all the same, you're welcome to join us" Mr. Gregory offered with a bright grin while crossing his hands over Connor's shoulders.Connor did not seem enthusiastic about the offer, he kept staring at
Luc came back to the room minutes later and served Carolina who ate slowly. Her mind was in turmoil as she wondered why Connor had not bothered to come and get her. She could not deny how much she hated Connor for turning her life upside down but on the other hand, she missed him and wanted to go back to him. She missed her room in the mansion and the workers too. She wished she would be taken back home.Her mind wandered to the offer Connor had made earlier before she was locked in, about her going back to college and she sighed. She hoped the offer would still be on even when she goes back home.She had wanted to Leave Connor but at the moment, she wanted nothing more than to go back to the place she had considered home since her father sold her off. She was not concentrating on the food she was having anymore and so pushed the cup of water mistakenly. It fell with a loud clash and broke into pieces"I'm so sorry" Carolina apologized immediately and made to pick up the pieces but
Connor was raging mad as he entered his office, his claws grew long and sharp, his eyes golden yellow. He let out an angry growl and began slashing everything in sight imagining them to be Luc. His breathing was hoarse and harsh and all he could see was red.How dare Luc play with him like he was a toy? Like he was a tool to be played with. "Luc had taken more than he can chew and he is going to throw all of it up, I'm going to make sure of that" Connor snarled and grabbed his suit jacket.He didn't bother to go into the elevator, he just ran down the stairs and headed straight for his car so that he would be driven home.He was right all along in his suspicions, Luc was the unknown person. The one behind Kayla's attack and death, the one who had kidnapped his mate and kept her hostage. The one who had been sending him those threatening messages.Connor wondered how Carolina was faring under his care. "I'm so going to chop that dog's head off if I learn he had hurt Carolina, in any
Carolina was still in Luc's penthouse, her movements were restricted around the room Luc had locked her in. Though she had everything she wanted, she still longed to go home.She was currently staring out of the window which was slightly opened and didn't have any way to widen it. This was so that she couldn't escape from the house. Her mind wandered off to what Luc had told her about the person that might have locked her in the basement. Since Luc had proven that he was not the one that had her locked in, her suspicions lay on only one person, Mirabel.She found it hard to believe that Mirabel, whom she had tried to put in a good relationship with Connor, was still the same person that could do such evil to her.She felt betrayed and her feelings towards Mirabel turned to anger. "Since Mirabel has proven herself to be a green Snake in green grass. I would make sure to expose her devilish attitude. She's surely going to regret messing with me" Carolina resolved within herself.She ke
Connor gnashed his teeth as soon as Luc went off the line. He slowly took the phone out of his ear and chortled to himself.No doubt, Luc's condition sounded like a stupid joke in his ear and he had no intention of dancing to his tune. "Luc has no atom of fear left in him, requesting for what is absolutely unattainable. He seems to have forgotten that I'm the Alpha, that I rule this pack and I can do anything I want with his life, he will surely hear from me" Connor growled, dialing Luc's line again.Jack drove into the compound and rushed to open the backseat where Connor sat. He came out of the car, fuming. Jack knew better than to ask for details, he just bowed and watched Connor walk away. Connor kept dialing Luc's number as he walked inside the mansion.He was notified that Luc's line couldn't connect, yet he kept calling. Luc could call him anytime he wants but he cannot do the same, that made him absolutely mad.He kept calling until he was notified that Luc's line did not exi
Luc was taken aback at the reply Carolina gave him, he thought Carolina would jump at any opportunity to Leave Connor for good, perhaps he thought wrong.Carolina's reply had proven to him that she was slowly falling for Luc and that made him bitter but he refused to show it. To him, Connor was evil and didn't deserve anything good.He gave Carolina a faux smile, "I see, the night is cold. I guess we should head in now" he stated and took her hands in a bid to take her back to her room. Carolina was surprised at his sudden act but didn't dare to say a word as she allowed him to lock her in again.Connor was able to connect with Hardulph, his long time friend and he couldn't be more grateful, "and what do I owe this unexpected phone call?" Hardulph said on the other side."Hardulph, what do you say we hang out maybe tomorrow" Connor replied and Hardulph hummed suspiciously, "hope all is well Connor, your offer doesn't sound like all is well in your pack" he stated and Connor nodded bu
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"
