Amelia's POVLorenzo pulls me forward by the arm as I struggle behind him, but it is like trying to stop a moving truck as his grip is too strong on me. He pushed me into a waiting car and steps in beside me as the car pulls away. All my mind is on Neil and when he's going to come for me. I don't know how to connect to him through the mind-link and I should have learnt this a long time ago.Lorenzo turns to me, his eyes darker and his face painted with smiles. "I'm imagining how much you'd make for me. I guess you're good at this."I ignore him and bite my lower lip instead. The car pulls in front of a building and we step out. "Bring her in," Lorenzo commands as he takes the lead. Instantly, two of his men pulls me by the arms as they lead me forward. This time, I quietly follow them.We walk into a room with different lights and powerful music wafting from the stereo at the other end. The room that I come to realize is a casino with the men gambling and drinking themselves to stupor
Boarding a ship to Europe did not take long. I enter the ship under a disguise to avoid what happened repeating itself. Going to Europe by ship will take long but that is the only option I have left.I take a sip of the wine and twirled the rest as I sit on the bed in the room I was placed in the ship. My mind returns to Amelia and what have become of her now. My heart shudders and I notice a lump in my throat as I pray she's safe.Talk to her, Heira growls.I have to try the mind-link again. But as I listen for Amelia's reply, I hear her painful gasps and whines...Someone is hurting her!I could feel her pain. She's been hit by someone. My breath comes rising as my throat went dry. I don't know what to do anymore. I brush a furious hand over my hair as my eyes angrily scans the room. I kick the wine glass and the bottle into the wall and the contents spills alongside the glass all over the room. A question screams right into my head; will I be able to save Amelia on time? Why didn't
Neil's POVIt will roughly take two weeks to get to Europe and the thought of it sends my heart flying. What if I lose all chances of rescuing Amelia before the end of the two weeks? Yet, I don't see any other option of getting to Europe. The whole of America wants me and I can't bring myself to face them, not when I am not yet sure of the safety of my mate. I am in a difficult position right now but I'll find a way to navigate all of it.I push a few buttons on the control desk when I suddenly hear someone's voice above the ship and the whirring sounds of engines. My wolf perks up with interest as I look above me, though I can't see what's happening outside the ship from here."Come out now at the count of one... two... three..."I rush outside, careful not to give out my position. The voice sounds so familiar but I can't place where I've heard that voice before. At first, my skin is hit by the chilling night air and next, the headlights from the plane circling the sky above the ship
Amelia's POV Lorenzo has become a demon of himself. All day long, he has me locked up in this room without food or water. Last night was a nightmare... tears rush down my face as I remember that lady's words as she hit me squarely in the face. "The capo brought you here as a slut and a cheap slut is what you'll be here!" She was too strong and fast for me, almost impossible for me to pluck a strand of her hair as she hit me; like she was made and trained for this. Lorenzo had appeared, dragged her by the hair and pushed her aside. "I didn't ask you to touch her. She still remains my wife." When I thought he was finally going to get me out of here, Lorenzo tied me up and dumped me here in this room. "Your mate might take too long to come to your rescue; coming by boat to Europe. Ridiculous," Lorenzo spat. "I would have had a fill of myself on you before he arrives," Lorenzo said in derision as he pulled my face up to look at him. "I'll keep you here. Safe. And as a bait for him whe
Amelia's POVNeil won't listen.I begin to fidget in fear as I try in vain to make Neil look at me at least but he's too focused on his opponent in the ring.His opponent was the first to attack. He leaped on Neil like a frog but Neil casually avoided him, weighing his reflexes and fight skills. He leapt again but Neil slammed his fists into his face which forcefully threw him backwards and out of the ring. It's not about fame but strength. Neil's opponent is famous amongst most of the crowd but Neil is stronger.The crowd screams in shock as Neil's opponent crashed onto the floor outside the stage. For the first time, I feel at ease. It might not be as bad as I thought. Neil might navigate Lorenzo's traps and we'll get out of here soonest.Neil's opponent rose from the floor, a drop of blood on his lip. He sprinted back into the ring. Neil was pacing around the ring, waiting for his opponent to make his come-back.The crowd cheers again as Neil's opponent throws himself at Neil. Whil
Neil's POVHe is much stronger than I thought. And though I had decided not to use any of my wolf abilities in the arena, I was forced to because he was almost unbeatable. I was shocked when his wounds healed and claws formed on his fingers.He's a werewolf too... and a powerful one at that!How many werewolves does Lorenzo have working for him? And how did he get such a powerful werewolf in his fight club?But what I never expected is Lorenzo going back on his word...As I slit Blue blood's throat, I narrowly miss a bullet as it whizzes past my head. I tumble down the stage to take cover as more bullets pierced the air.Suddenly, everything seemed to slow down before me and I could clearly see the bullets rushing above me and on the stage. It was no ordinary bullet. It is made of raw silver.Lorenzo!That bastard!I should have known he won't keep to his word.I told you it was a bad idea, Heira grumbles into my head, but this is not a time for grumbling. I turn to the VIP suite dire
Amelia's POVThe lady forced me forward by pointing a gun into the back of my head. I hold my breath in fear, feeling that metallic object and knowing it will go off if I fail to obey. She kicks the door before me open and pushed me in."Have a seat my lady," she said in derision as she points the gun to an empty sofa where she wanted me to seat. And slowly, I take my seat. We were next to the changing room where I was taken to last night to change my cloth for a dance - thankfully, I disobeyed. Otherwise, last night would have left an indelible mark on me.The lady took her position beside me with her gun still pointing at me. There was tension in the air as my heart raced; it's either Lorenzo or Neil. Lorenzo has silver but Neil is powerful, strong and fast.I gulp heavily as another thought hits my mind; Lorenzo is not the only one in that hall with Neil. There are eight other men against Neil! My eyes clouds with tears as I pray Neil comes out of this unscathed.Then, there was an
Cole's POVI knew she is Neil's mate the moment I set my eyes on her but I couldn't stop that lady on time from ramming her head into the wall. Impulsively, I release two bullets into her chest before rushing over to Amelia who is bleeding profusely on the floor. Her eyes are shut and her breath... she is breathing slowly. Without minding the blood, I pick her up in both arms; hurrying to take her out of here and save her life.By the time I got back to Neil, his body was cold and my breath hitched as I try to push the fact that he might be dead out of my head. There has to be some life left in him. He can't come all these way only to give up in the end. There is silver in his blood and that might be his end. But how do I get the two of them out of here and on time to save their lives? A thought crossed my mind and I quickly pull out my phone."Stabber, I need you down here.""I knew you'd still need my help. The capo is one big slimy fish you could ever deal with." Stabber laughs into
