Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 269. The Exchange 2
The exchange happened successfully without issues, and immediately, I get to Allister, he hustles me into the car, gets in, and drives off as quickly as he can.We drive a long distance in silence. At some point, we pass through a fleet of cars loitering at the roadside.The cars quickly join us behind.“They are my men,” Allister explains when he notices my discomfort with the way I kept staring through the rearview mirror.The initial arrangement had been that the exchange would occur just a few meters away from the Silver Valley Pack border.But Cicero changed it at the last minute to another location.“Alli,” I call him, not liking the fact that he’s been too quiet and has only said a sentence to me since we met, “How are-”I’m unable to finish talking when Allister slams his foot on the car accelerator, pushing it so hard that we are almost flying through the road.I lurch forward, swallowing the rest of my words, and quickly fastened my seatbelt. His wolf is clearly irritable a

I frown, “Yes?”“The Varkai wolves are growing stronger even in numbers,” Callahan White says carefully. “And they’re infiltrating Packs quietly. If this continues, they’ll eventually recruit Pack leaders, which might get to a point of revolt.”“I don’t know where you're getting your information, Callahan. But I've kept a close eye on Varkai wolves. The few that have tried infiltrating other Packs, including Silver Valley, I've made sure they don’t survive.”My words are obviously not enough for Callahan as he’s already shaking his head in disagreement.“These people are growing, Alpha, and their princes are the root,” he says. “They are also part of your biggest problem as the King.”“You want me to take a war to them? I won’t do that.” I insist, rage flashing through me instantly as I rise to my feet abruptly.“You think this is simple?!” I bark.The room trembles faintly beneath my Alpha aura. Sebastian lowers his head immediately.Sarah looks frightened, but Callahan remains still

The drive to Callahan White’s Ashmere city residence feels longer than usual.Leo keeps glancing at me through the rearview mirror, probably sensing the tension rolling off me, but he says nothing. I stare out the tinted window as the city lights blur past us.Today is the day I get my soul mate back. But I still have about four hours before it's time for the exchange.Pelton Oxad, the surrogate lawyer, has already been processed for release. Once she steps out, I’ll hand her over in exchange for my Jess.At least that’s the agreement with the abductors.But before any of that happens, there’s something I need to do first.The SUV slows before the mansion.Sebastian White is already waiting outside the gate when I step out of the car.The moment he sees me, he bows in greeting.“Alpha.”I nod my acknowledgement, and he leads me silently through the compound and into the apartment.Jess’s father is already seated in the living room waiting for me. His wife, Sarah, sits beside him quiet

Frustrated that I didn’t even get to speak to her, I sink into my seat, facing the Whites, my mother, and my uncle in the room."You don’t have to be sad, Al. At least now we’re sure she’s safe, and we know what her abductors want.” My Mom says.“Exactly,” My uncle agrees. “Also, whatever they want is something we can give them. So, that’s great news, Alpha.”"I’m sorry, but are you both saying what I think you're saying, right now?” Sarah White asks, looking between my mother and uncle. “Are you trying to say that we should sit tight and hope that whoever abducted Jess will agree to exchange her with some flimsy female prisoner? Like, we’re supposed to just hope and do nothing?!”While she’s talking, Leo pushes into my room and shakes his head, proving my fear. The call was from an encrypted line. It couldn’t be tracked.“What are you on about?” My Mom asks Sarah.“Luna Celine, I apologize if I’m about to sound disrespectful, but would you just fold your arms and watch and wait for th

An idea is already rooting in my brain, but I need to be sure these men won't come for the Love of my life.“No,” Cicero replies.“You told me you want a place for your people. What do you mean by that?” I ask him.“When I leave this world, I want my people to be free, or they should be on the verge of freedom at least.”“If the story you shared with me is true, do you think Allister knows?” I ask them.“I can't tell,” Philip replies.“Your boyfriend hunts Varkai wolves for sure. And like I told you, there are bad wolves among us, just like there are bad wolves among your type. Your Alpha has killed so many Varkai wolves than his father ever did. He has a way of finding them out and going after them wherever they are. Underworld, drug barons, kingpins, anyone.”I take a deep breath and absorb Cicero’s words. “But he didn’t single you out, Phil.”Philip nods with a small smile on his face. “It took a lot for him not to.”“So, you being in Silver Valley, and working at the Medical Cente

“My father approves of my union with Allister,” I tell Philip. “If there is anyone who would know of any reason why I shouldn’t be with my man, it will be my father. But he approves.”“I wouldn’t expect him not to approve,” Cicero chuckles. “He’s benefiting from the Blackwaters. Being the Lycan King’s Hamit-Beta is the highest rank any Beta wolf will attain. He’s also handling a vast amount of land that was once a full werewolf Pack. Also, having his daughter become the Lycan king’s Luna… Well, a lot of fathers will keep shut if it guarantees them such a privilege.”Cicero’s words tear at my nerves. But I can't lie, if his claims are right, then there might be an atom of truth in what he just said, even though the statement was made to taunt me.That makes me want to hear about everything that happened. They might be making this shit up, but I truly want to hear it, all of it.I bite down on my lower lip and tip my head towards Philip.“How did you find out your grandfather was poisone

Philip’s eyes widen questionably at me, and just to be clear, I nod and reply, “Yes, Allister is my Fiancé. Now we have to go. I’ll see you around, Phil.”“Sure,” he lets out, looking like gallons of energy have been sucked out of him.

The street light turns green, but Allister doesn’t move the car right away.“You don’t have to lean on me every time,” he says gently. “Just… don’t lock me out of your life.”His thumb brushes over my knuckles, slowly.“You have me. You’ve always had me.” He hums reassuringly.His words are simple

“Officer,” Allister cuts in. “Miss White is my client. And if you want this issue thrashed out in court, then it’s fine. You already know we go all out for anyone under my law firm.”The police officer starts to stutter, making incoherent sentences.“Officer Dean, is it?” I ask, calling out the nam

A beautiful sunny day at “Sugar Treats” with my best girls has me smiling nonstop.“Well, at least now they know not to mess with us, else I ruin their skull with a bottle of expensive wine,” Agnes’s voice towers above Ursula’s.“Oh, please, you were literally shaking like baby fish,” Ursula jabs a
