Lahat ng Kabanata ng Lead back to You : Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

ZADIK'S POV"I was going to let you off the hook easily and perhaps make you one of my blood bags instead, turns out you're too smart for your own good."I stared at her again, the feeling of hate starting to bubble at the sight of the smug smile she had on her face.How can one creature be the habitat of such cruel callousness? Harbouring extreme hate for a specie she was undeniably a part of."You won't get away with this, Venn. I promise you." I swore solemnly.Another of her vile cackle filled the air for the second time. She made a mock show of wiping tears out of her eyes. "Even close to your grave, you never cease to tell jokes. I already got away with it, sweetie.""Let's see what Neilla and her mate have to say about it." I could be unsure about what would happen to me in the nearest future, I couldn't care any less. This, however, I could bet my life on.Her fingers reached to twirl her dark hair. "That silly old mutt has grown weaker than a blind helpless pup. His fighting

NEILLA'S POV In the midst of the chaos, Lykos had managed to find my fingers. As we stood side by side, he intertwined them with his, squeezing in gentle pulses. I pulled my fingers out of his grip as I battled against the despair that only ate further deep into me. "Back to you, Neilla." Venn spat in disgust as her head turned to my direction. She was holding back I could tell. But why? "You know you can save those triplets from the danger they're about to slip into." I almost walked into her as I hastily replied, "Take me instead if that's the solution to keeping them alive, please." My voice broke at the end despite my attempt in maintaining an air of calmness. My babies were all I live for. I got out of the Moonstone pack just so I could give them a chance at life. I would not let a single scratch come upon them. Venn stepped closer to me, too close for comfort. The tiny veins that sprouted from her face waved about as though each had a mind of their own and wanted to

LYKOS'S POVI watched Neilla step into the portal right after Venn. Not once did she stop to spare me a departing glance. Was she not starting to regret her decision? The hole started to close up. That was my cue to do exactly what my monster yearned to do; rip these guards into shreds and follow through if time permitted. Else, some other plan would have to suffice.Someone's stepped up beside me. It was Axel. On his face was a conspiratorial look which revealed he was already toying with the same train of thought that I was."Your orders and I give myself the thrill of a lifetime." He mindlinked. "It's been an awfully long time." I smirked at one of the guards who cocked his head, giving away his confusion. I smelled his perspiration tinged with anxiety as he gripped his gun tighter.That was all I need. The weak link. I looked over my shoulder for my Aunt to ask a favour. My action was the first movement I'd made since Neilla waltzed into the shadow of death alone. Startled, A

NEILLA'S POV.Nia recovered from the shock of seeing me. She turned to the siblings with an angry glare. "What is she doing here? I thought you said you were not going to bring her until you have made a bargain? Why didn't you give me a heads-up first?"Venn leaned back in her seat to regard Nia properly. She plucked one seed of grape and bit into it slowly, taking her time. She dropped the other half of it."I see you have forgotten your place. That is not a problem. Might I remind you that you work for me and not with me and you know what that means, right?" Nia rolled her eyes, nodded all the same. "Still, you should have said something."I didn't even let their conversation come to an end before I started to vent. "Nia, how could you?" We might not have been on cordial terms, but this was an outright betrayal of trust. "We trusted you.""Oh, please." She replied with scorn. "That was you being gullible and that's on you, not me."Everything started to make sense to me. Her sudden

NEILLA'S POVNia arose from her position to give I and the triplets a moment to ourselves while she stepped to the darker room with the human girl, Lenora. The kids made sure to talk my ear off with half baked stories of their adventures, the friends they made who were just the fake servants that abducted them that day "I told them about our birthday." Jade was saying. She found a spot in the curve of my arm and settled there. "How aunt Nia told us to follow some people so she could have time with us."Her story drew my interest, same time repelled me. Did I really want to know how they were abducted? The truth of how it really happened?I decided against it. "That's enough, Jade. I'm glad you're here with me, alright?" She nodded and as she did so, the tendrils that were peeking from her crown, bounced."When mean uncle said you wouldn't come back to us, it hurt my feelings so much. I yelled at him and told him he was wrong. He was laughing at me." Juno said, his face reflecting t
