• Alpha's Regret: Mated with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 81

  Third Person's POVLionel had just stepped out of the car when he spotted a figure plummeting from the hotel's upper floors.An Alpha's signature frost instantly blanketed his features, the intimidating aura between his brows thick enough to curdle the air.His fingers, hanging by his sides, twitched into an unconscious curl, the whitened knuckles hinting at a beast close to breaking through, their tips tinged with a sickly blue-black.His face tightened, an unnameable panic surging in his chest.When his wolf eyes, with their night vision, revealed it wasn't Camellia, the surge of pine scent around him receded just as quickly, though his palms were already damp with sweat laced with wolf pheromones.Konstantin, following close behind, glanced at the crumpled figure on the ground and spoke in a deep voice, "Mr. Dalton, this is Connor. Miss Sanders should be upstairs."Lionel didn't acknowledge, instead turning and striding swiftly into the hotel.At that moment, on the hotel rooftop,

  Lionel's POVI was reviewing lab surveillance footage when my suit pocket vibrated with an incoming satellite call.I answered, and Konstantin's urgent breathing filled my ear. "Alpha Lionel, Miss Sanders has gone missing!"My knuckles crushed a pen, splintering wood into sharp shards. "What's the situation?"Leroy whined anxiously in my mind."Her place is a mess. Her phone's on the sofa, but she's gone."Fabric rustled as Konstantin investigated. "There are drag marks on the hallway carpet, and in the kitchen...""Check it out." Cedar scent froze on my tongue as I loosened my tie and headed to the garage.A sudden pain seared my neck—my true mate was in danger.Unfortunately, without her marked, I couldn't pinpoint her location.Leroy's claws scraped my nerves."Let me take over," it growled."Shut up. Not the time to shift," I snapped back.Oddly, a flicker of anxiety stirred within m

  Camellia's POVFrom Connor's conversation with that man, I figured out he kidnapped me for money.In a flash, everything became clear.Claire wanted me dead but didn't want to get involved, so she arranged for Connor to kidnap me. If I died, Connor would take the blame.She might even plan to kill him too. After all, dead men tell no tales.Seeing I didn't respond, Claire sneered, "If you don't call, you'll die right now."I knew calling Esmond was my only chance to survive.If I could hold on until he came, I might live."Alright, I'll call.""You give the number, I'll dial. But think carefully about what you say."She put Esmond's call on speakerphone.But it wasn't Esmond who answered. It was Hazel."Who's this?"Recognizing Hazel's voice, my heart sank."It's Camellia. I need to speak to Esmond."Hazel giggled. "Esmond's taking a shower. You can tell me what you want, and I'l

  Third Person's POVAt the Pioneer Tech Group's CEO office, Konstantin rushed in with a document."Alpha Lionel, our cooperator returned this file, claiming issues with the experimental data. I can't pinpoint the exact problems."Lionel scanned the document and said, "Call Camellia."Konstantin nodded and dialed Camellia's number."Buzz, buzz, buzz..."The phone vibrated in the dark living room, eventually stopping.After several failed attempts, Konstantin suggested, "Shall I bring the document to Miss Sanders?""Okay."Camellia's POVI woke to the suffocating darkness of what felt like a trunk, my pulse roaring in my ears. Panic and fear gripped me.Kidnapping was unheard of in my world.They might kill me at any time.I forced steady breaths despite the panic, registering the vehicle's movement.Where are they taking me?I dwelled on the possibilities. I lived in an old residen

  Camellia's POVAs I sneered, a burning pain surged in the back of my neck.Lyra growled threateningly in the depths of my consciousness, her fangs scraping against my spine.Each word I uttered carried the low - frequency tremor characteristic of werewolves, "If you dare go to my dad again, I'll expose your infidelity."The broken mate bond exploded in my chest like thorny bushes. The remnants of verbena's cloying sweetness in Esmond's cuffs stung my olfactory nerves."Are you not afraid of worsening his condition?" he said with a shrug, fueling my anger as my fists clenched."How could you become so shameless?" I exclaimed."Shameless?"Esmond's pupils swirled with the Ironclaw Pack's bloody totem. The fingertips gripping my jaw exuded a murky blend of pine and verbena."Cam, I merely wanted you back and to keep your distance from Lionel. You're the one provoking me," he said.I stumbled backward against the wall

  Camellia's POVAt noon, I headed to the cafeteria and was stunned by its luxury.The food at each window looked exquisitely prepared, making my mouth water.I queued at a Thai food stall, ordered pineapple fried rice and tom yum soup, and sat in a corner.The first spoonful of soup tasted as good as what I'd had at a five-star restaurant before.I'd once thought it was an exaggeration that Pioneer Tech's cafeteria rivaled five-star venues, but now I saw it was true.Back in the lab, I started the afternoon's experiment.As the reaction began, I sat nearby, timing and recording.Suddenly, a message from Esmond came in."I'm downstairs at Pioneer Tech. Come down now, or I'll come up myself."I frowned, surprised he'd found out I was here so quickly.I called him.After two rings, he answered but stayed silent."I'm here on company business. You coming here won't change anything.""You cou
