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
Luc and Mirabel did not look one bit fazed by Liliana's threat of leaving them behind while she escapes. Besides, for her to achieve the plans she has already drafted in her imagination, she had to break down the cell door first.They just mocked her in their minds and ignored her entirely as she kept blabbering about how she was going to leave the dungeon.Soon, the guards returned to the cell and someone came to check on Luc's wound. He had already started treatment just like Connor stated because he was the one that shot him but the man had come in to check on how fast the wound was healing.Liliana watched intently as the pack doctor made his way inside Luc's cell room to attend to him and thought he might do the same for her too.Liliana decided to use the doctor's presence in her favor. She pretended to feel severe pains in her abdomen, attracting the attention of the Doctor.But unlike Luc, the doctor dared not to open Liliana's door, instead, he asked about how she was farin
"It's all about Helen, Hardulph's mate" she smirked and turned her face towards Hardulph who suddenly looked shocked at the mention of his mate. "Shocking right? I know" she chuckled menacingly."I managed to keep the annoying brat alive, but not for long though. I'm certain her condition at the time being is pitiful" She dropped the bombshell and everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.She smirked to herself, enjoying the surprised looks she was seeing on their faces, especially on that Hardulph's.Liliana turned her face back to Connor, keeping a sinister smile on her face, "Pull the damn trigger on me and be an obstruction to your friend's happiness" She smirked and began walking backward."Shoot me with that gun, then Hardulph should get ready to receive Helen back into his life but in shreds. He will receive her corpse instead, I guarantee you" She added and began to cackle while staring straight into Connor's eyes.Hardulph growled and Liliana walked towards him, laughing hys
Mirabel and Luc could not believe their ears. "What is this all about? What stunt is Liliana trying to pull?" They wondered in their minds, staring at each other in the utmost confusion.Liliana was still smirking, her eyes held pure mockery as she stared from Connor to Hardulph and Jack. She gave Mirabel and Luc a smug smile and waved the phone in the air. Helen looked like she was stifling in a cry, Hardulph's face creased in so much worry. He stared at Liliana's smirking face as if pleading with her.Connor on the other hand was still confused, he stared at Liliana and the phone in her hand before looking towards Mirabel and Luc who were as well looking confused. Luc tried to say something but nothing was forthcoming from his lips. He just shut his mouth and kept looking on in confusion."It's. it's not real, Liliana made this up" Mirabel stuttered, still confused about how Helen may be indeed alive. "This is fake, Liliana faked this voice call. It is probably a voice note Hel
"Time is up gentlemen, you have your proof" Liliana spoke up when she saw they were speaking secretly to HelenShe was sure it would not be in her favor and needed to put a bridge to it at once. The man who was looking after, more like assisting Helen immediately took the phone out of Helen's hands and switched it off before they would even say a proper goodbye to one another.Hardulph wanted to keep talking but Helen was already out of the line before he could request some more minutes."Do you believe me now?" Liliana asked with a smug smile.Connor and Hardulph did not reply, they only turned to Jack whose forehead was creased as he stared at his phone in disbelief.He was utterly confused with whatever it is he was operating.Liliana burst out laughing so loud, all attention was dragged towards her again. The Alphas wondered what was amiss with her."Track it" she stated like a psychopath folding her hands over her breast, her chin held high, and a smug smirk forming on her lips.
"My freedom from this damned dungeon in exchange for Helen's life and her release too. Are you in or are you out?" Liliana asked word by word, a smirk plastered on her face. Mirabel rolled her eyes inwardly at Liliana's request. She was not surprised to hear such a condition from Liliana. She had been suspecting that this was only Liliana's tactic to get out of this dungeon all along."It's such a pity that Connor and Hardulph fell right into her trap and now they would have no other choice than to dance right into her tunes" she mumbled within herself.Connor squinted his eyes at Liliana. He did not like the condition she laid before him and to crown it all, he did not even trust her one bit. Hardulph on the other hand was excited about the news. It was his chance to save his mate even if it cost the loss of Connor's enemy who should have been taught a lesson for all of her mischief.His mate's life was in danger and if releasing Liliana in exchange for his mate to come back to hi
Liliana gave Hardulph a reassuring smile "You have my word Hardulph. Helen would be brought to you as soon as you take me out of here" Liliana stated.Hardulph nodded and walked out of the dungeon after Jack in a bid to look for him and have a heart-to-heart talk with him.Meanwhile, Connor drove straight to the hospital at high speed. He rushed towards Carolina's ward, his heart in his mouth. He tried to barge into Carolina's room only to be stopped by the hospital security who held him back from running into the room.He took a quick peep at Carolina through the glass door and saw some doctor's around her, probably attending to her. "Mr Connor, please come with me" One of the doctors announced to Connor as soon as he sighted him.Connor pushed the security off and walked behind the doctor to his office to hear whatever it is he had to say. "It better be good, else he wouldn't like the outcome," Connor said in his mind as he made himself comfortable in the office by sitting in the
