This chapter explains why they hadn't anticipated Remo. Carl gets interrogated next.
GRANT The hours carried on, but neither of us had left her side. Twenty-two hours into it, she finally regained consciousness. Gabriel and I had stayed in chairs beside her because we were not certain how she would feel when she woke up, unsure of what all she remembered. We did not want her to be uncomfortable. However, she demanded that we get into bed with a promise that she would verbalize if something became too much. It was amazing that she had been with Sophia while she was unconscious. This was her being able to experience time with her mother instead of only seeing past events. It was easy to see how much the experience meant to her. Angel was discharged, and we wasted no time getting her home. People had come and go while she was unconscious so that we knew we were not alone. My brother and I appreciated the reminder but also appreciated that people gave us privacy with our mate. “I need a bath,” she said once we popped home. I told her that I would run one. Her favori
ANGEL My head was resting on Grant’s chest. My fingertips trailed over his naked chest. Gabriel’s face was buried in my neck, and his arm was resting underneath my chest. They did exactly as I had asked them to. They helped me to replace the memory of what the assholes had done. They made love to me with a passion and sincerity that made my love for them overflow and overwhelm me. I had never once felt so close to them as I had during our intimacy this time around. I started to think about the situation that we found selves in. We needed to be careful with how we approached it. From what I understood, the man in the cells, Carl, was the boyfriend to one of the traitors. I was unsure if he was even aware of those plans or not. The verified traitor had already met his vicious end at the paws of Remo. If he was unaware of the true plan, it made me wonder why he would do it. Why would he assault me? What was his ultimate goal? How far would he have gone? Had he done this to anyone el
GABRIEL My brother and I had already been on edge, knowing that our mate would be facing off against a man who assaulted her. Our wolves were on high alert, assessing for threats. They zeroed in on two bitches who were talking shit about our mate. They called her a slut, which was apparently why she had two mates. If that was not bad enough, the bitch went on to blame Angel for what happened and the fact that Carl would be suffering. We wanted their blood, but she handled it with the poise of a great Luna. “Well, hello there, Carl. Long time no see,” Angel mocked Carl when we got to into the interrogation room. Knight was making an impressive list of what all we could do to him that would make him suffer. He was the best wolf a guy could ever be paired with. Or, perhaps, I was biased. He shared an image with me of what it would look like for Carl’s leg to be chopped of and then shoved up his ass. Holy fucking shit. That would be brutal. My wolf just chuckled darkly and continued p
ANGEL Now, we had a legitimate reason to pull Lucy Taylor into an interrogation room without the traitors becoming suspicious that we were onto them. Something that I could not wrap my head around was that the bitch had offered her boyfriend a lot of money to assault me. First of all, that was sincerely fucked up. I had never understood how some people could be so truly twisted that they were completely okay with harming others or standing aside as someone else did the harming. Had Remo not gotten to me, those two horrible assholes would have not stopped… I bit the inside of my cheek to stop the thoughts about what could have happened. However, the thoughts did not stop. They would have… The room disappeared entirely, and I was back there on the ground. My body was paralyzed from the bullet, but my mind was working overtime. Their scents, their taunts, their touches… “Sweetheart, look at me,” I heard someone say. The voice was familiar, but I was not certain why. “Angel, sweethe
JULIOMy fingers dug into her hips as I thrusted relentlessly into her pussy. This pussy was a golden one. Still tight even after everything I had done to it over the past two months. I did not care at all about the rest of the bitch, but I did care about this part of her.I had her bent over my desk because it was better for me in this position. I could not give two shits about her getting off. She would take what she got and be fucking thankful for it.‘Alpha, I got the report,’ my Beta, Agustin, linked me.‘Bring it to the office. No need to knock.’I might not be the legitimate Alpha because my dumbass brother was, but he had been gone for a long time, allowing me to run the pack on his behalf. I ran it to my own standards and would bullshit him whenever I needed to. He did not deserve to be the fucking Alpha. I would take him down when the time was right.The door opened, and in walked Agustin. He smirked at what was going on. The chick beneath me stiffened when she recognized tha
GRANT Angel’s shutdown gutted us because she was hurting. It also thoroughly pissed us off. Carl had caused it, so he would pay dearly. Sexual assault of any kind was not tolerated in this pack and had harsh sentences. Pack members who broke pack laws were put on trial for their crimes. Evidence would be presented, and pack members would have input on what the sentence should be. However, it was the leadership who made the ultimate decision. Carl would get his ass handed to him. Sexual assault was one of the Teir A crimes, meaning that they had the harshest sentences. However, anyone involved would also be tried. It really sucked to be Lucy Taylor. Or it would be that way soon. I wanted both of their blood. Them being traitors was secondary to what they did to Angel. Lucy was just as responsible because it was her plan. I still could not wrap my head around the fact that people could be so fucked up in the head to think ‘hey, sounds like a good idea’ or some shit like that. Everyo
ANGEL‘I was able to finally reach her wolf,’ Athena said. ‘She’s very weak for some reason, but she said to be careful and not to underestimate Lucy.’Oh, I would not be underestimating this bitch. Why was her wolf weak? Lucy was clearly strong, but her wolf was weak. That was not how it usually worked. The strength of our wolves was typically representative of how strong we were.‘What if Lucy is a leech that’s siphoning her strength from her wolf? It would make her wolf completely submissive to her. I had to send some healing to her wolf so that she was strong enough to talk. There’s something going on here,’ Athena informed me.Lucy’s eyes wandered around the room, realizing that she was fucked. There was no getting out of this after what she had just shouted out. This made her dangerous because she probably felt like she had nothing to lose.A chill ran down my spine when our eyes met. They were cold and void of the warmth that used to be in them. Had she been that good of an acto
ZIYAH “She’s losing a lot of blood,” the surgeon said. Dr. Hastings was one of the best trauma surgeons on this side of the country. Luckily, he had been visiting his sister who lived in our pack. This was not the first surgery that I had overseen. I trained as a combat medic and have been brought into countless surgeries because of my experience as well as my healing magic. Unfortunately, not everything could be easily healed. This was one such instance. “Does she have any blood relatives here? Parents or siblings?” he asked me. “Not parents or siblings. She has a cousin that lives here. We can bring in her grandparents if that’ll help,” I told him quickly as I continued helping him to irrigate the wounds. I heard him curse underneath his breath when her blood pressure dropped down. ‘C’mon, Angel. You need to fight. Your mates need you. We all need you. Fight, sweetheart,’ I sent to her and flooded some love and strength into her as well. “Grandparents will have to do. I can t
