Kevin's POV"Cancel all my appointments. I'm going out." Ivan said to his secretary once we stepped out of his office."Out?" She squeaked, seeming more shocked than he had been when I had told him to take me to where the count lived."Yes, out. I have an urgent meeting to take care of.""Okay, sir. I will call and cancel your appointments in the next ten minutes.""Do that. See you soon." Ivan said and walked out.She looked at me and Liam with a skeptical expression as if she wasn't sure she would see her boss soon. She was smart for thinking that way.Liam whispered softly under his breath, knowing I could hear him as we stepped out into the open. "What are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed by asking to be taken to his house? That guy hates your guts. He wouldn't let go of Ella even if you see him."I smiled. "Don't worry, Liam. I have a plan.""I hope it is a good one." He nodded.Ivan turned back and scowled at the sight of me and Liam lagging behind and talking. "
Kevin's POV"Don't tell me that was your plan?" Liam asked the moment we walked back into our apartment."No," I smiled. "Violence has always been my way."A slow smile crept up his face. "That is exactly what I've been waiting for. Spending money in a town that treated Ella as a slave is not my thing.""Now, we get to keep our money.""How do you intend to steal Ella away from the manor of that asshole?""I need the men.""I will get them tomorrow.""Be back soon.""Yes, my lord." He bowed and left me alone to my thoughts and anticipating when the men would be here with Liam.Liam's POVMy body thrummed with excitement as I ran towards the border, adrenaline pumping with fury through my body.I scowled as I waited for the guard at the border to scan my visitor ID card so I can depart. I was annoyed when Kevin offered to pay that much to get Ella but looking at the rigorous process of entering and leaving this place, I could finally understand his reason.He didn't want her to live a
Kevin's POVI wasn't going to sit still and wait doing nothing while Liam was out there, calling the men back. I looked around the apartment and nodded to myself at how neat it was. I was glad I had checked out of the hotel and gotten this apartment.There was no way I could check ten other guys in the hotel under my name without seeming suspicious. At this point, both Ronald and Ivan would have guessed what was next for me to do and also be working on how to stop me.I dressed in my favorite black leather, checked myself in the mirror and moved out.I hadn't gone to the count's house to make a fool of myself. I had gone on a search.I looked at the gate, hiding behind the trees at the front gate and looked for a loophole. It was hard to see anything from here as the main house was far from where the gate was but I was better off being here watching the count's gate, even if there was no activity than staying at home and driving myself crazy with thoughts of Ella.At the least, this
Kevin's POVI looked at my men, happy to see them. We were all gathered in my room, planning the jail break for Ella."That was what happened." Liam said, finishing the tale of how the count refused to let Ella go."The bastard!" Damien hissed."We all agree he is." I chuckled."What is your plan, my lord?" Cephas asked."I found a way to sneak into the mansion today while I was out. There is a way we can get Ella out without anyone knowing that we were there but she says she has a friend she can't leave behind."Liam smiled. "Just as expected of Ella.Damien grinned. "That is good. It would be bad if we all come here without having a fight."I chuckled, shaking my head in amusement. "You love bloodshed."He shook his head in denial. "No, my lord. I only love shedding the blood of arrogant bastards."Cephas laughed. "Whatever it is that you say to yourself to make you feel better."I cleared. "So this is the plan." I began, watching as they all stopped talking and snapped to attention
Ella's POV I could barely sleep. It was the D-Day. I was excited that I couldn't force myself to sleep even if I was drugged. I was finally going to break free of here. I didn't have anything to pack except me. I rushed to the dungeon the moment I was up, sneaking in to see Dalsa. I wasn't afraid of anything now that I was about to become independent. "You are here earlier than usual." Dalsa chuckled the moment she saw me. "I wanted to remind you to be ready." I grinned. She snorted. "As if I need any reminder." "Good. I will see you soon." I said and walked out of the dungeon. I didn't rush and walked majestically out like the queen that I was. I didn't have to pretend to be weak because I didn't want those bastards to lay their fingers on me and beat me. I wasn't a weakling. I could defend myself. I was born of a warrior and had badass skills myself, even as a pharmacist. It was time to show them what I've got. "Hey," Peter shouted as he saw me in the corridor walking back i
Kevin's POVI had known there was no way we wouldn't fight with those human vermin but had hoped that we could avoid it.I was ready though. And so were my men."Stealing her right under my nose?" The count scowled as he walked into the field."I don't have to steal what belongs to me." I retorted."She is mine. I bought her." He growled.I scoffed. "She is mine. I claimed and marked here.""That is your tradition. It doesn't apply here." He said, his usual annoying smirk on his face. "What matters here is what is on the record. I bought her with my money and she belongs to me."I rolled my eyes, done with the unnecessary chitchat but didn't want to charge first. I knew me and my men would finish them off in minutes and wanted to be fair and give him a memory to stroke his ego with."She has my mark and scent on her body and forever belongs to me. You would have sensed that if you weren't so stuck up in your foolishness and arrogance."He growled, his eyes bristling with rage. "Charge
Kevin's POVThe men in wolf forms glanced at me and nodded, surrounding us as they fought off the standing men."After me, Ella and Dalsa." I said and crawled down the tunnel.I led the way, knowing Liam would keep the men away from us and hoped Ella didn't stay to fight."Go, Dalsa." I heard Ella said and pushed the angel down the tunnel.I shook my head as I sensed the angel's scent behind me. As usual, Ella chose to be selfless and chose others over herself. She was braver than any female that I knew.Ella was right behind Dalsa and it wasn't until I sensed her that I was finally at peace. Thank goodness she finally stopped worrying me. She was going to be the death of me. I had no doubt she was going to give me grey hairs.I sensed Loki behind me and was relieved someone was watching her back. He had changed into his human form."Let's keep crawling. We will be out soon." I said, moving at a rapid rate and grateful the tunnel was wide enough to allow that."Just keep going and shu
Kevin's POVI was getting worried. The second whistle was blown for Liam and Cephas to retreat but they weren't out yet. I wondered what was stopping them and hoped that they were safe.Liam was my second in command and I couldn't afford lose him. I would be devastated if something happened to him.I heard a loud thud few paces away from me and turned to see what that was."To your right, my lord." Damien shouted, pointing at a spot in the distance.I heaved a sigh of relief as I turned towards where he was pointing at and saw Liam and Cephas shifting back into their human form and walking towards us."Did we keep you waiting, my lord?" Liam asked as he got closer to us, dusting his hands."Not at all." I smiled at him, wanting to pull the two of them into my embrace for making it out safely.I looked at my men, my eyes roving over their bodies and checking for injuries. I was glad and exhaled in relief when I didn't find any, not one that was serious.My chest swelled with pride when
