All Chapters of THE PROTÉGÉ: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Rey's POVWhat did I ever do to deserve a mate like her? I thought to myself as I watched her sitting regally in front of the rogue. She insisted on facing the filth alone. Of course, I was opposed to the idea, and I even stomped my foot a couple of times. But that only earned me a giggle and a 'you're cute' comment from my mate before she entered the interrogation room."Hello again, wolfy. How's life treating you?" She rested one leg over the other and leaned back on her chair. The rogue snarled at her, obviously not as amused by her confidence as I was. He tugged on the tight silver restraints holding his hands on the metallic table. I tensed, taking a step closer to the two-way mirror."Chill, enforcer Wilson! She knows what she's doing." Lord Boris said with an eye roll. "She is one of the duke's most trusted lieutenants.""Still can't get my head around the idea?" I whispered, still entranced by the sight of my mate. She looked beautiful, sitting there despite

Reymond POVOne thing was sure. I did have a lot of questions for my mate. There were so many things I was curious about, and I intend to get every single answer from her. The fact that she was almost skipping while holding my hand was a good sign. She knew what was coming, and she didn't look scared or disturbed.I led her to the small garden behind the royal library. I chose this garden because it had a gazebo with a small firepit, and it witnessed light traffic this time of the year. I wanted Advica to feel as comfortable as possible. I pulled a woolen blanket that I laid on the floor close to the already lit fire."Wow! This place is beautiful." She smiled, sitting down with one leg bent under her, eyes roaming around. "How come no one is around?""Because the acting head enforcer reserved the place." I winked at her, taking out our lunch. She laughed, accepting her two sandwiches. She waited until I unwrapped mine before taking the first bite. Her knees were bouncin

Reymond POV"Oh!! Then you're in so much trouble!!" She smirked beautifully. How can she smirk and look this breathtaking? "Why?" I raised a brow, looking deeper into her obsidian eyes. They were talking to me again, and they were silently promising me more trouble."Do you know how many overprotective brothers I have? And if my guess is right, half of them are already on their way here. They are coming for you, big wolf." My body froze and my jaw dropped at her proud announcement. Soon, her laughter filled the cold garden, warming my heart in the process.I decided to ignore the perturbing piece of information my mate decided to casually throw my way. I decided to concentrate on her lighter mood and make sure that it stays till the end of our improv

Reymond POVWhen Advica said that I was in trouble, she literally meant it. These vampires she calls brothers were pure trouble. Especially the twin from hell. They were extra invested in giving me a hard time. While the other one didn't bother with me but spent his time trying to convince Advica that she deserved better. They were trouble and I had no time to deal with Troubles.The twin's childish pranks were bearable to a certain degree. They started their game by inflicting all the possible physical pain they could without getting caught. They accidentally broke a couple of fingers while shaking my hand just to apologize afterward, implicitly insulting my strength. They also accidentally ripped my clothes with their claws, blaming

Reymond POVThe wait was killing me. I had no idea what was going on behind those stupid walls. All I wanted to do was jump over the electrified fence and run to my Advica. But I couldn't. We were fully aware of their security system. It wasn't that hard to figure it out. We could easily hack it and shut it down, but, again, we couldn't. Not when we knew that they had a panic button too.This panic button is meant to send a distress signal to a specific destination along with a copy of their hard drive before destroying it. It could be to some people or to a safe site. It's a security system created especially to save sensitive data from being stolen. And so hard to hack. We could do it. I could do it, but it would take hours if not days to hack it. Precious time we didn't have at the moment.
