Daniel noticed the look of surprise on Emily's face, but he also noticed her injury. Concerned, he approached her and gently held her leg to assess the sprain. Emily, fearing he would harm her, looked up at him in fear. However, to her surprise, Daniel scooped her up in his arms, carrying her bridal style, and brought her back inside the house. He carefully placed her on the bed in their bedroom and sat beside her. Tenderly, he massaged the sprained area of her leg, trying to provide some relief.Emily closed her eyes, wincing in pain as Daniel began to rub the area. She could feel a slight alleviation, and when he was satisfied that she felt some relief, he released his grip. Meanwhile, while waiting, Ashley's phone rang, prompting her to change back into her human form and answer the call. The caller informed her, "The boss has returned home. He didn't attend the meeting but canceled it. You are in danger where you are." As soon as Ashley heard this, she quickly ended the call

Emily shivered as tears fell down her eyes. Seeing her state, Daniel shook his head."Why did you have to upset me, Emily?"He wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Let's go."As he held her hand so they could walk away, she noticed that the guy whom he had shot was no longer on the floor. Her eyes widened in surprise, as she asked, "Where is he?"Daniel stared at her and smiled, seeing that she no longer seemed afraid"I guess he crawled out," Daniel replied."What?" Emily was surprised. If she could recall clearly, Daniel had shot him in the head. She thought she saw his... She didn't even want to think about it."What are you thinking about?" Daniel asked. "He might live, all thanks to you."What?""That was just a warning," Daniel said."That was a warning?" Emily asked.He nodded, "Yes, he's a member of my pack, and members of my pack get two chances, not one.""Pack!! What do you mean by pack?""Don't worry, soon you'll understand.""Hold on, hold on, you mean I almost died

Emily's mom parked her car in front of Daniel's gate and stepped out. She had already checked the other two houses before this one. As she looked around, there was no sign of anyone. She knocked on the gate repeatedly, but there was no reply. In the other houses she had visited, she had encountered two men. She told them she was searching for Daniel Straw. She didn't know if they had passed the information to him. Regardless, she didn't care. All she knew was that when she laid her eyes on him, he would either return her daughter to her or she would die trying. She knew that killing her would be easy for him, but she felt it was a risk worth taking.Despite her repeated knocking, there was no response from inside the gate. She decided to walk around the country house, hoping to find any clue indicating if her daughter was being held captive. However, she found nothing. She thought to herself, "Of course, someone like Daniel Straw would take extra measures to ensure I have no access

Emily finally arrived home with her mom, who covered her shoulders with her jacket. She was still shivering, and her mom led her straight into the room. She curled her body, leaned on her bed, and cried her heart out.Her mom sat beside her, stroking her hair. "It's going to be alright, I promise you. It's going to be alright," she comforted. After a while, her mom called the doctor and informed him that Emily's state was really bad and she needed him to check on her.The doctor quickly arrived and after examining her, he said that Emily was in good health. She was okay and had been well-fed. The only thing was that she seemed to have been traumatized or frightened by something and needed therapy. But for the time being, he gave her some medicine to help her sleep. She needed all the rest she could get.After Emily was put to sleep, her mom called Sally and shared the good news about Emily's return. Sally screamed on the phone, "What happened? Did the monster decide to let her go?"

As she overheard Brian's words, Emily was shocked to the bone. She moved back slowly and went to her seat, while he came out of the restroom smiling. As she stared at him, she wondered if she had just imagined what she heard or if it really happened. "Why are you staring at me like that?" Brian asked when he saw the way she was looking at him. Emily shook her head, "Nothing, I'm just... I don't think I feel really good.""Oh, I'm so sorry," he said. "Come on, let me give you a massage." As he came and stood behind her to massage her, Emily suddenly felt sick to the stomach. Perhaps it was something about the way he smelled or what she had overheard. She couldn't stand him, so she said, "Please, I want to be alone. Can you give me a few minutes?""Of course, darling. Take all the time you need," he said and walked out. She began to think about everything. It all made sense. How could someone be so perfect? Brian was too good to be true. She had thought she was lucky to have him ba
