Chapter 144
Jknew that she probably wouldn’t be able to get away.
But she just didn’t want to give Daran the easy win
The soldiers were closing in. She shot them a couple more times till she was out of bullets
She drew her dagger from her belt, firmly gripping the hilt.
One soldier charged at her. She slashed at him with her dagger and flung his body against the concrete
wall. That created an opening, which allowed her to quickly turn and run down a dark alley.
“Stop!”
The soldiers were crying behind her back, “You won’t get away! Just give up already!”
Jknew that they were telling the truth. The gate was closed, and Morgana was hurt. There was no
way that she could get out
But she just didn’t want to give up.
At least not just yet.
This part of the city was a web of secret back alleys and hidden comers.
Luckily, Jand Daran did sfield research a while ago. Now she knew these streets like the
back of her hand.
She ducked down a narrow passage, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she weaved through the
maze of twisting streets.
She could hear the sounds of heavy boots pounding the cobblestones getting closer.
but they were still a couple of blocks away.
“STOP!” the soldiers shouted, “Alpha Daran is coming at you right now! You won’t get away from him!”
Fuck you.
Jsaid internally.
She rounded a corner. But then realized that this was the wrong way.
She found herself in a dead–end street, surrounded by tall buildings.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe glanced around, looking for a way out, but there was none. She wanted to turn around and go
down another path, but the soldiers‘ footsteps were right behind her.
She was trapped.
Right at this moment, a door flung open beside her.
“Con in!” gasped a female voice.
The soldiers were right around the corner. Jdidn’t have the tto check who that person was and
rushed right in.
The door closed behind her. The woman who helped her grabbed her wrist and shoved her into a small
pantry.
The faint light illuminated the dingy space and the woman’s face.
“You!” Jgasped.
It was the girl who helped them to kill Danton at the camping site, Dora.
Jhadn’t heard from her again ever since she fled the camping site. She didn’t expect to see Dora
again, especially under this circumstance.
“Keep quiet!”
Dora said under her breath and drew the pantry’s curtain shut.
The soldiers had followed her into this dead street. Their paces slowed down and stopped outside the
door.
Jheld her breaths, listening to their moves attentively.
“Where is she?” one soldier snapped, “I saw her get in here!”
“This is a dead–end street! She has nowhere else to run. She must be hiding. somewhere in these
houses. Search the house!”
Fuck.
Janet’s heart sank slightly.
If they cin and searched the house, they would find her sooner or later. Maybe she should just
step out already, to avoid dragging Dora into this mess…
Just then, she heard another voice from outside of the door, “Actually, I saw her run down another
path.”
It was a man’s voice, deep and velvety, with a smooth and sultry tone that sent shivers down her spine.
A fleeting thought flickered across her mind:
That must be a gorgeous guy.
“Are you sure, Westin?” the soldier asked suspiciously.
“Yeah. Positive,” said that sexy voice.
“Then why didn’t you say anything earlier? Let’s go!”
The footsteps hurried away, fading into the distance.
Jperked up her cars.
…Did they all leave?
She waited for a few seconds and was about to get out of the pantry when she suddenly heard a knock
on the door.
“W–Who is it?” Dora asked nervously. “Please open the door, miss.”
It was that guy called Westin!
He pointed the other soldiers the wrong way and stayed behind himself. Jfrowned.
What did he want?
“Go away!” Dora cried. “I…I won’t let strangers into my house!”
Although her tone was firm, her shaky voice still gave her away.
“I know you have the person that we are looking for.” Westin said calmly behind the door, “Please open
up. You have a nice oakwood door. It would be a pity to knock it down.”
Jpulled the drapes open and stepped out of the pantry.
“Open the door,” she said to Dora.
Dora looked at her, panicked, “What are you doing? Get back inside. I can get rid of him…”
“No, he has got us. It is OK. Just open it up.”
Jgave a gentle nudge on Dora’s shoulder. Dora hesitantly went to lift the lock. and wrench the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdoor open.
A tall figure was standing on the doorstep.
The man stood tall, his lean and muscular frexuding a quiet confidence that was impossible to
ignore.
His light blonde hair was painted silver by the moonlight.
Jlooked at his face.
She was right earlier.
This guy was indeed gorgeous.
Jcouldn’t imagine any woman saying no to that irresistible smile.
The man saw Jstanding behind Dora and raised an eyebrow.
“It took us a great effort to catch you, Gamma Janet,” he chuckled.
Jlooked at him quietly on full alert:
He was dressed in the soldier’s uniform. So he should be one of the others.
But why did he direct the other soldiers away?
“What do you want?” Jasked in a strained voice.
The man smiled and stepped into the room, closing the door behind him.
A gush
She had that sfeeling with Daran years ago.
A crazy thought appeared in her mind.
No way…but…could it…this man…could he be her…
Jtook an involuntary step further, her body shaking.
That man did the sthing.
The casual smile faded away from his lips, replaced by an astonished look.
“You…” he murmured, perplexed.
Their gaze met in the midair, sparkles flying.
They gasped out the sword simultaneously:
“-Mate!”
