Chapter 88


    Enzo’s POV


    The old chapel was the perfect ce for them to take L. Awful things had happened long ago at that


    chapel, causing it to get shut down. It was once a popr tourist attraction due to the dark history that


    was attached to the building. However, that also got shut down by protesters iming that nobody


    should be supporting such a terrible ce.


    Now it sits as an abandoned building that is ransacked by the younger generation and a popr


    hideout for rogue wolves.


    Nobody of value goes to this chapel and nobody would think that anyone was being held hostage


    there.


    “There’s an underground prison at that chapel,” Bastien as we ran through the woods and toward the


    city of Elysium. “I used to take L there when she was only a little pup. She loved dark stuff like that.”


    “Do you think she recognizes it? Maybe she would know a way out,” I suggested.


    We sped up our pace, aiming to get there as fast as we could.


    “It’s an underground prison… the only way out is if someone lets you out,” Bastien said, worry in his


    tone. “I should have been more aware… I shouldn’t have let her leave the packhouse.”


    “It’s L… she would have figured a way out of the packhouse even if you chained the windows and


    doors.”


    Bastien snickered at that.


    “She’s definitely stubborn. Rachel mes herself too. It was her idea. She wanted to get a treat at the


    store. She’s going to a rehab facility soon and who knows when she’ll be able to have treats like that


    again.”


    “It’s not her fault either,” I said; as much as it pained me to say, it wasn’t anyone’s fault.


    I wanted someone to me, but I couldn’t me anyone other than myself. I should have been here


    with her.

    The old chapel came into view on the hilltop across the city of Elysium. A dark haze fell upon the


    chapel


    that sent a chill down my spine.


    Bastien paused as he stared at the chapel; I could see the utmost worry in his wolf’s eyes.


    I could smell the scent of honeysuckle clear as day, as if she was standing right next to me Max was


    getting anxious the longer we waited.


    “She’s there,” I said with confidence.


    “I can feel her too,” Bastien said in return as he looked at me. “And she’s in pain.”

    L’s POV


    I woke up feeling as if my insides were on fire. I screamed out in pain, wanting it to end. I wanted the


    misery to just be over.


    I felt a sting in my arm and soon the pain started to subside a little.


    “Hush, little wolf,” Cyrus said from beside me. “Don’t fight me anymore.”


    “Don’t call me that…” I hissed.


    That was the nickname my father had given my mother and I won’t associate that with something so


    evil.


    “I’ll call you whatever I want,” Cyrus chuckled. “I’m the one in charge here. Isn’t that obvious?”


    I knew that Cyrus was the ringleader, and these other assholes were under his orders. But I wasn’t


    afraid


    of him. He infuriated me and I couldn’t wait to get a piece of him on a stake. But I needed to keep


    myself calm before my anger got me killed.


    “Wee back to thend of the living,” another man said, stepping beside Cyrus.


    He was an older gentleman with a long white trench coat and a stethoscope around his neck.


    “I’m Dr. Robert Tanner. You can call me Rob.”


    “I won’t be calling you anything,” I seethed; as I moved, pain shot through my body and I winced,


    causing Cyrus tough and shake his head.


    “What did I say, little wolf? Don’t fight.”


    I rxed my body and allowed my head to fall back onto the bed. I was still chained, and I noticed I had


    a few different puncture wounds on my arms and legs. I was also feeling incredibly dizzy.


    Across the room, my heart fell into my stomach, when I saw arge bag filled with a dark red liquid.


    “Is that my blood?” I managed to ask in a hoarse whisper.


    “It is,” Robert said with a head nod. “We are running some tests. Finding out what makes you tick.


    Trying


    to see what gives you your abilities. The Vna wolf really fascinates me and if we want to harvest


    your


    abilities, we need to know how it works.”


    They want to take my power?


    If they took my powers, where would that leave me?


    “However, with a little starlight in your system, you nearly died. We had to resuscitate you,” Robert


    continued.


    My heartbeat was rapidly against my chest. I was highly allergic to starlight. That must have been why


    my body felt like it was on fire.


    “How can something so powerful as a Vna wolf be allergic to anything?” Robert asked, narrowing his


    eyes at me. “It makes me question your true ability.”


    “We aren’t invincible,” I muttered, nearly spitting in his face as I spoke.


    “But you’re pretty damn close to it.”


    A allowed a growl to emerge from the depth of my throat.”


    “Easy, little wolf,” Cyrus warned. “Don’t make me put you back under.”


    “I want to know what else a Vna is capable of. I’ve only heard rumors. But never actually seen it with


    my own.”


    I opened my mouth to speak, but he spoke over me quickly. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “No, don’t tell me. I want you to show me.”


    I closed my eyes and furrowed my brows at him. Cyrus began to unchain my arms and legs; ideally, I


    was hoping as soon as he did, I would gain a little strength and be able to fight them and get myself


    out of there. However, even as the chains were removed from my body, I still felt incredibly weak.


    it must have been whatever they drugged me with, mixed with the starlight still in my system. Cyrus


    grabbed me and lifted me over his shoulder. I felt helpless and defenseless against him.


    Robert followed closely behind as we left the infirmary and toward another room, further into the


    underground of the chapel.


    We entered arge room that almost looked like an arena.


    My heart plummeted once my eyes adjusted to the new lighting and I saw Brody chained to a chair in


    the center of the room.


    He was beaten fairly badly; he had bruises and blood all over his face and body. He was still breathing


    thankfully, but he looked to be unconscious.


    “Brody…” I whispered. “What did you do to him?” I growled, fury rising through me.


    “We made it a little bit easier for you to do what we want,” Cyrus said with a shrug as he set me down


    on the ground.


    He tensed for a moment; I could tell he was getting a mindlink. He nced at Robert who just had pure


    excitement in his eyes as he stared at Brody and then back at me.


    “We have some unwanted visitors outside. I need to deal with it,” Cyrus muttered. “Can you handle


    things here?”


    “Oh, definitely,” Robert said, a smile spreading across his mouth.


    Unwanted visitors?


    Could it be Enzo and my father?


    Oh, goddess, I hoped so.


    Cyrus nodded at him before looking at me.


    “Try anything funny and I’ll make sure you regret it,’ he sneered before leaving the room.


    I don’t think I could try to escape or fight even if I wanted to. I hated that I felt this weak.


    Robert stepped closer to me, lifting me off the ground so I could stand beside him and use him for


    extra support, so I didn’t fall over.


    “Now… I’m going to have you show me your powers,’ he said, staring at me with a dark expression. “I


    want you to use them all…” he continued. “On him.”
