Eleanor's POVI looked at Bena's message with very mixed feelings. It was dangerous to meet Bena alone, but I had no choice.I had to protect my marriage and my family, and even though I knew that Lawrence didn't have feelings for Bena, this was different.I wanted Lawrence and I to be in peace. I would rather take care of this now than having to be wary of Bena's attempts at always hurting our happiness. Especially now that I was with a child. I stroked my belly, trying to feel the baby's scent from inside. I was so excited at the prospect of having a child. I wanted to give him all the best things in the world and let him grow up in a safe and loving environment. It was not too much to ask. But unfortunately, for werewolves, it was risky.So, that made it all the more necessary to remove all obstacles and dangers before the child was born. And Bena was one of those loose ends, I needed to take care of her. Hopefully, she would stay true to her word and leave for good. I reassured
Eleanor's POVI was going to die. That was certain now. I was in the clutches of hunters.Harvey and Charles wanted to kill me because I was a werewolf, and Bena wanted to kill me because I stood in her way to Lawrence. I was going to die. Or maybe I was dead already. When I opened my eyes, I saw darkness in front of me and the pain in my body told me that I was still very much alive.My head was very sore from the attack. I felt sure it was bleeding, but it wasn't bandaged. Harvey and Charles certainly wouldn't have done that.I shook my head as I remembered the last images in the warehouse. Bena had told Harvey and Charles to take me out of the company and kill me, she didn't want anyone to know that my death was related to her.I tried to move and found that my hands were tied with handcuffs. It seemed like I was in one of the containers in the warehouse.I felt distressed. I thought Bena had asked me to meet in the warehouse because it would be the safest place but I had not expe
Lawrence's POVMy heart nearly stopped when I saw Eleanor in the video. How did she end up getting caught? She had come to the company with me and she had strict instructions to stay in my office until I came to pick her up. Yet, somehow, she had fallen into the hands of Harvey. She looked wounded and it seemed like she was being held in an abandoned house. I couldn't understand how she had gotten caught. Something must have gone wrong somewhere.I had someone retrieve the surveillance footage and discovered that Eleanor had been to the warehouse before the accident. When I asked around, one of the secretaries told me that after Eleanor had finished handing over her work, she had asked around about Bena, who, apparently, had a shooting scheduled on the premises today.I had to save Eleanor. But I couldn't do it on my own. I was still too weak. As much as I hated to reach out to her ex-boyfriend, I finally contacted Logan who was already in Vatican as well. He hurried over when he le
Lawrence's POVI stood still, my eyes darting back and forth between Bena, Charles and Harvey. I had no idea what decision Bena would make, but the most important thing right now was to bring Eleanor to safety. My priority was my wife. Harvey and Charles each grabbed one side of my arm. With a derisive smile on his face, Charles said, "Lawrence, stop struggling. It's two to one. You're outnumbered."Suddenly, noises erupted from the outside. It sounded like Madison's hunters were getting closer.Harvey threw me a quick look and said coldly, "Lawrence, it looks like we'll have to take care of you now. Those damn hunters... they've double-crossed us."Harvey snarled, bared his teeth at me and we started to circle each other, ready to attack. I quickly assessed the situation. Madison and the other hunters had attracted the majority of Harvey's men. The only ones fighting me were Charles and Harvey. Charles was wounded and he was no longer as agile as he once was. Harvey was just an ordi
Eleanor's POVAs soon as Lawrence escaped, Madison's figure cut through the doorway, closely followed by her usual horde of hunters.Madison rushed up to me when she caught sight of me. She tried to help me get up, but with my injured leg, I couldn't move. So, she helped me to sit up before asking, "Eleanor, what happened?"She looked at Charles and Bena and frowned. "Who was here? Lawrence?"I knew I couldn't hide it from her. So I nodded my head, "Lawrence came to save me and Bena died trying to save him."I hid the fact that Bena was the reason why I had been captured in the first place. Bena was dead now, and perhaps her saving grace was that she died protecting Lawrence. I didn't want to say bad mouth her after her death. Bena's wish was for her 'sins' to remain hidden and I wanted to respect that.It was the least I could do for her.Madison asked, "Did you know that Lawrence was a werewolf?"Even if I said I didn't know, Madison wouldn't believe me anymore. I nodded. "Yes."Mad
Eleanor's POVI knew that if I went to Lawrence right away, Madison would follow me. So, I had no choice but to follow her back into the apartment. I quickly sent Lawrence a text message telling him about my encounter with Madison at the police station and having to postpone going home.Lawrence was now in Logan's care, so I knew that he would be fine. I didn't know how Lawrence ended up with Logan but I was happy to know that they had made up for the time being.Madison and I returned to the apartment, and I felt very weak because of the pregnancy and the injuries I sustained during the kidnapping.Madison could see that I was in a bad shape. "Eleanor, you're in shock, just rest."I sighed, "Madison, can we talk?"Madison weighed the situation for a moment, then she sat down on the couch across from me.I said, "First of all, I don't understand your mentality as a blind hunter going after werewolves, especially when those werewolves are my friends and loved ones." I paused so that sh
Lawrence's POVAt the hospital, I saw Eleanor's text message and felt relieved. At least she was safe now, and if the plan went well, I would be able to see Eleanor soon.Logan, however, was furious with me for not being able to bring Eleanor out to safety."Lawrence, what's wrong with you? Eleanor's still in the hands of the hunters, you know how dangerous that is!" Logan said angrily, waving his hands in the air. "If I had known it would end up like this, I would have gotten you to wait in the car instead! If it had been me, I would have saved her already!"I sneered at him, "Logan, know your place. You're just a beta. With your strength, do you think you would have been able to take on Charles and the other werewolves by yourself? And it wasn't just them, there were other hunters too. And Eleanor's leg was injured, there was no way for her to leave with me."Logan's eyes narrowed dangerously and he questioned me, "So you just left her there? In the hands of the hunters?"I sighed a
Eleanor's POVDue to the attack by the crazy mob of fans, Madison suffered some major injuries. I sat in the ambulance, holding Madison's hand the whole time. Then came a 'ping' on my phone. I looked at it and saw that it was a text message from Lawrence but I was in no mood to reply.Madison was my best friend, she came to Bena's memorial service to take care of me and protect me and she was injured all because of me.I sighed and looked out the window and saw that behind us, trailed yet another ambulance. And in that ambulance sat Madison's hunter friends and Harley, all of whom were also attacked by the horde of enraged fans. The hunters had not fought back, so none of the fans were injured and only a small number of the fans were taken away by the police for questioning.Madison was brought into the hospital and pushed into the operating theatre, leaving me to wait anxiously at the hospital corridor.I was pacing back and forth nervously when I remembered to call Lawrence.
