Chapter 85


    L’s POV


    The woman sounded frantic like she was in danger. I could tell she was crying, and my first instinct was


    to get rid of Rachel.


    “Go back to the packhouse,” I said quickly. “Wake my parents and tell them somebody is in trouble.”


    “What about you?” Rachel asked.


    The woman’s voice grew louder and this time she was screaming as she cried. I could hear the muffled


    sounds of nearby men as well and my heart sank further into my stomach.


    “Just go,” I ordered. “There’s not enough time. I need to help her!”


    I turned away just as Rachel started yelling something behind me, but I ran so fast that her voice


    became distorted until I couldn’t hear it at all.


    I wasn’t worried about getting into a fight. But I worried about who I was getting into a fight with.


    in the distance, I saw a woman running down the street. Her features were stained in tears and sweat


    as


    she continued to run. Her red fiery hair was practically illuminating in the moonlight, and I could feel


    how frightened she was.


    She was running quickly and ncing behind her periodically.


    That’s when I saw a few men chasing her down. They wererge and they were all in their human


    forms


    but telling from their dark eyes and their strange auras, I knew they were wolves.


    I also knew they were dangerous. I got a chill down my spine from looking at them and I wasn’t sure


    where that came from.


    I shook the fear out of my body and ran toward them. At that point, the woman saw me and I saw a


    flood of relief across her face as she ran toward me.


    “Please help me!” She cried. “They are trying to hurt me!!”


    “She’s not even a Vna wolf,” I heard one of the men growling. “That bitch promised there’d be tons


    of them here.”

    They were looking for Vna’s?


    Nobody ever hunts for us in Elysium. They wouldn’t dare cross my father.


    The woman continued to cry and to plead for them to stop chasing her. I managed to get to her just in


    time and step in front of her, blocking her view from the men’s.


    “Get out of our way girly. This beef has nothing to do with—”


    His voice trailed off as he took in a whiff of the air. His already dark eyes darkened even more, and a


    glimmer of a smile appeared on his narrow features. Then, he narrowed his eyes at me, and his aura


    darkened even more.


    “I can smell Vna’s blood on you,” he breathed, hungrily. “She was right…”


    “Who was right?’ I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. “Who sent you here?”


    “Doesn’t matter,” he sneered. “What matters is she promised us a Vna, and now it seems we got


    one.”


    “This girl isn’t a Vna.”


    “No… but you are,” he said with a widening grin.


    I took a step away from him, I was getting an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach. I knew a fight


    was going to happen.


    “You smell even better than I thought you would,” another chuckled. “Must be all the magic.”


    His chuckle was dark though, and it made my skin crawl.


    “Go,” I ordered the woman who remained behind me. “Leave this ce quickly.”


    She was hesitant for a moment, but soon she ran away. The men justughed as they neared me.


    “Why don’t you be a good little wolf ande with us,” the leader of the group said with arge grin.


    I kicked off the ground and did a backflip away from them. They looked surprised at first, but then I


    shifted into my wolf form and lunged toward them. I used the moves that Enzo had taught me in ss.


    However, those moves were made for one-on-onebat, not a group thing. Some of them shifted


    into their own wolves so they could keep up with me. I felt a sharp blow to my leg that sent me to the


    ground as one of the bit into my flesh.


    I yelped loudly, kicking him in the face and snapping my own canines in his direction.


    Soon, a dark grey wolf came out of nowhere and roared loudly. I recognized him right away, but I just


    couldn’t believe he was here right now.


    “Brody?” I asked in a mindlink. “How are you here right now?”


    “I saw you in distress from across the street and came as fast as I could,” he exined. “My


    grandmother lives in Elysium, so I was visiting her. I was heading to the store…”


    His words were interrupted as a wolf tackled him. He went to the ground, and I screamed out for him


    out loud.


    “Awe, is that your little boyfriend?” One of the men said in a fit ofughter. “He’s no match for us


    sweetheart, so you might as well give up ande with us.”


    “I’m not going anywhere with you,” I growled in return.


    On that note, I lunged at them again, biting at them, but missing by only a hair. They were much bigger


    than me, which wouldn’t have been a problem if there weren’t more of them than there were of us.


    “L!!” I heard Brody yelling in the distance. “Watch out!”


    Just as I turned my head to see what was going on behind me, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I gasped


    once I realized it was a needle.


    I shifted back into my human form without much control, and I fell to the ground in a daze. I heard


    Brody screaming in the distance, but then his words had gotten quiet as he fell to the ground as well.


    My vision grew blurry and one of the men rolled me over onto my pack.


    “I told you, you areing with us one way or another,” he snickered.


    I could feel my heart rate slowing down and it was getting harder to keep up my breathwork. I closed


    my eyes, ready to lose consciousness.


    “Enzo…” I said in a mindlink. “I’ve been captured… please help…”


    As soon as I sent that mindlink, I cked outpletely.

    Third Person POV


    “We don’t go to Elysium,” one of the men muttered as Sarah stood before him.


    She had her arms folded across her chest.


    “I told you, I’m willing to pay you a fair amount,” Sarah said in return. “Not only in cash but a Vna as


    well. I promise Elysium is filled with Vna wolves.”


    “Your father’s money isn’t going to stop us from getting killed by Alpha Bastien,” he said, shaking his


    head.


    “Then, don’t get caught,” Sarah hissed. “Do you want the money, or not?”


    They looked amongst one another and then back at Sarah.


    “Who exactly do you want us to capture? Why are you sending us there?”


    “I figured we can help each other out,” Sarah said with a shrug. “I give you money and Vna’s, and


    you


    take care of the Vna problem. We all know how dangerous they are. They can’t be trusted. You take


    care of them, you get paid.”


    “That’s all you want us to do? Take care of the Vna problem in Elysium? Alpha Bastien is a Vna.


    We


    can’t go after her.”


    “Then, don’t. But take care of the rest. Once you do that, I will process payment into your ounts.”


    They looked at each other again before looking at Sarah.


    “You have a deal,” he said, shaking Sarah’s hand.


    Sarah knew that L had gone home for the next day or so. She’s been watching her for days.


    Now, she was finally going to get what she long deserved.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
