The wolf's destiny CHAPTER 22
Lupus is extorting her.The heart of Darien almost stopped. “What, who—”She studied the blanket, her fingers twisting the thin fabric.“Yours or mine?”Larissa looked up at him, her eyes revealing confusion. “Do you think it was one of my grays or one of your \sreds?”She didn’t answer, which made him suspicious. “Why would anyone blackmail her?” Darien considered Lelandi’s nightmares, her reluctance to discuss her past with him. It fit. When he opened his mouth to question Larissa, she had shut her eyes again. “Larissa?”She didn’t respond and appeared to be sleeping. He growled under his breath, swore he would not tell anyoneTo give her any more pain medication if she needed it, and took his seat again.Two painfully long hours later, Larissa opened her eyes, and immediately Darien launched in with his questioning, determined to get the truth out of her this time. “What about the man who accosted you outside of Hastings?”“Gunman?”Being evasive on purpose? Or confused again? “No,

“Sit down. Before she returns home, I need to learn more. Darien was in shock after saying it. But, there was something off about this Leidolf figure. And until he identified the gunman, Darien wouldn’t let her leave his line of sight. “Let me know if you hear anything else,” she said.Certainly will. The deputy grinned slyly at him. “If I were in your position, I wouldn’t let her go either.”Darien ignored the remark because he believed the deputy lacked sufficient context to understand. Peter was summoned by Darien as soon as Smith left. “I understand how challenging it is to find packs or anything about them given how covert we must be, but I’ve got a lead. Find a Leidolf based in Portland, Oregon, if you can. Everything about him and his pack must be known to me.Sure, sir, that’ll work.Darien went to the lounge where three of his cousins were chatting with the doctor, eager to find out what Doc needed to talk to him about. Everyone ceased speaking when his cousins noticed him.“

Lelandi tried to block out the screams as SILVA AND RITKA FOUGHT EACH OTHER NEARHER TO HER BED. Jake shook his head and leaned against the doorframe.The doctor and Darien entered the room slowly, and Darien said, “Enough! How the hell did that happen? He gave off the impression of being a bit rattled, had a little less color on his face, and paid Lelandi a little too close attention. Actually, her neckShe inhaled deeply, calming herself. Well, now that the boss man has arrived, there is calm.“She struck me!” Ritka cried out.Yes, I would have done it again if they hadn’t restrained me. We can see, Darien assured. “I’m curious as to why,” Lelandi struggled to speak, but the IV was once more attached to her arm, and she assumed that stronger medications were being injected into her system because she was unable to even focus on what was being said let alone keep her eyes open.When I attempted to stop her from ripping out the IV, the b*tch punched me.“You yanked her back so forceful

“I brought them home to wash because they were bloody. Wiped down her jeans. The clothing was completely destroyed due to the gunshot holes it had. If anyone is interested, she’ll need a new peach lace bra to go with her pants. Silva made a dramatic pause.Despite getting the desired outcome, Darien could have strangled the woman. The creamy mounds they had imprisoned and the sight of Larissa’s lace bra came to mind. He didn’t want to be reminded of how she had appeared below the turtleneck, which he knew quite well.“I also cleaned the leather jacket’s inner, but it will require some patching. Oh, and I cleaned your clothing as well.He questioned too vehemently, “The letter.”Silva smiled and took an envelope out of her pocket. The letter is a little difficult to read in some places because I had to sponge off the blood, found it inside her leather jacket, concealed in a pocket. When I was wiping away the blood on the lining, it crinkled; otherwise, I would have probably missed it.

Lelandi felt suffocating before she became fully conscious. The room was completely dark, but because to her wolf vision, she should have been able to see perfectly. Her wrists were once more shackled when she attempted to move them. Something crushed against her face, making it difficult for her to breathe. Something that clings and is dark. Zero oxygen falling asleep. Where had her guards gone? Within a room? Outside…As someone frantically tore at the plastic, eventually ripping it away, holes started to appear in it. She cried out for air. He kept tearing at the bag as she saw Darien’s worried face and the glaring lights of the hospital room.She tried to approach him while trying to fill her lungs. After pausing to remove the tape from her neck, he took her hand and gave it a firm squeeze. Christ, Leland. Holding her hand and looking into her eyes, he said nothing further.Jake entered the space quickly. Why the heck not He took hold of her wrist. “Her heartbeat is racing.”“Find

Damnably amusing She would bite him if his arm weren’t so far from where her fangs were.Silva hurried into the room and exclaimed, “No, oh no. “I shouldn’t have let you be by yourself for so long. Nurse Grey will arrive shortly. Doc was unconscious in his office, and she was attempting to revive him.He is fine, right? Lelandi was picked up off the ground by Darien, but one of his hands accidentally entered the back opening of the gown. Her temperature increased as a result of his heated fingers touching her bare flesh, and based on the expression he gave her, she was certain that it alarmed him just as much as it concerned her. After placing her on the bed, he moved her medical gown such that the scant material fell past her knees. “Go on, Jake.”“What?”“We’re dressing her up and getting her out of here.”I’ll be staying at your house. Silva took clothing from Lacy Garments & Accessories’ pink bag. I’ll have to help her get dressed and take a shower. So, boys, make plans for a slee

Cursing, Jake started running Towards lelandi’s cousin.Lelandi tried to exit the wheelchair as her chest hurt, her heart thumping. She yelled, “Let him alone!”Darien told her to calm down before further injuring herself as he took her writhing body from the wheelchair and placed it in the backseat of his SUV. Silva, enter and force her to remain in place.But, I was planning to stay behind and—He shouted at Lelandi, trying to hold him motionless, “Go in!” “Hell, get behind the wheel. I’ll make sure the hellion stays seated. When someone unlocked the backseat’s second passenger door and grabbed Lelandi by the arm, she scrambled to extricate herself.She screamed. She squeaked, “Tom.”She smiled toothily at the unfortunate guy, whose head was still bandaged, but it was obvious that he was hurting as he tried to calm her down. Eventually, she stopped resisting him. What did it really matter? She wasn’t moving, and since her cousin had longer legs and greater strength in his movement t

She looked aside hastily. For what my sister done, I apologize. To find that she’d…” A feeling of sympathy washed through him as her voice broke. Her bottom lip trembled. “I apologize. I wished my sister, whom I loved, had never been matched to him. She had discovered you first, and she had loved you both as you both deserved. She wouldn’t have been harmed, and she would have been happy.Lelandi’s skin was silky soft, and her hand was little like her sister’s. He took her hand and ran his thumb over her fingers. “I assume she had a legitimate reason for acting in the way she did; it wasn’t your fault. In addition, I played a role in it. His hands were on her knees as he knelt down in front of her. Silva was accurate. Larissa and I couldn’t be apart. She continuously refused my advances while providing no explanation. I assumed she was trying to be difficult, possibly out of concern that the grays wouldn’t accept her as I did. She seemed like the perfect match to me. I found she wasn’t
