Hera POV No." I cut her off firmly. "No exchanges, Helena.I want to see Lily safe and walking free. Don't think about playing tricks or you can kiss your daughter goodbye." I warn."What if I don't bring the brat?" Helena snaps back but there is desperation in her voice, cracking through the tough act. "What then?"I lean into the phone, my heart pounding but my words ice-cold. "You have nowhere to run, Helena. Your backup Finn is already in my hands.The cops are swarming the Jackals as we speak. If you don't follow my instructions, I'll hunt you down myself. I'll give you a slow and torturous death.And Fiona? I'll sell her to the highest bidder in some back-alley sex club after telling her who you really are to her and how you chose your pride over her life." I issue the threat, followed by a hollow laughter meant to intimidate Helena. I don't want to be this person, but for Lily and Mason, I will become whatever I have to.The line goes dead with a click. I stare at the phone,

Hera POVI turn to look at the guards and motion for them to wait outside.They file out without a word. I have questions to ask them, like how did they end up passed out in the house and not by their working station. Why did they leave the gate unguarded when I gave them strict instructions never to do so after the incident with Finn.They have a lot to explain but for now, my priority is Lily. She is still terrified and in shock and if she doesn't release that tension, it could harm her mentally.The ordeal she went through today was traumatising, not to mention she was still recovering from the last kidnapping and losing her mother.I can't believe how unlucky she is. It makes me question everything we are fighting for. We are the reason she keeps getting dragged in adult conflicts when she is innocent.Somehow, it makes me feel irresponsible.Mason shifts, careful not to disturb Lily. It seems like he wants to question the guards right away. That's important but not urgent."Later

Hera POVAfter driving for hours, I finally pull outside a building.It's a familiar one , except for the wrong reason. It's the same peeling paint, same rusted door where I clawed my way out years ago.It's the same place Amelia's screams echoed, begging and pleading.Stepping out of the car, a weird feeling overwhelms me. It's like I have time traveled back to those dark days.Before I can take a step forward, a loud scream echoes, carrying on the wind like a ghost's wail. I don't need to second guess whose scream that is, not with the clear instructions I gave Ghost and Shadow last night. A smile paints my lips. Good, let him suffer and have a taste of the hell he put Amelia and all those other women he forced himself on through. I spot Ghost and Shadow waiting by the side door.One look at them and their faces scream tired."Morning my soldiers. You don't look so good." I comment. Ghost doesn't say a word. Shadow grins.“ We stayed up the whole night keeping an eye on that bast

Hera POV“She looks so happy and peaceful,” I add, my eyes watering from the sight before me. Seeing Lily happy makes me happy too.“Yeah. I hope she can always be this happy,” Mason replies from beside me. Our wishes are the same.Lily has been through so much at her young age. She doesn't deserve any of the things that have been happening to her.First, her mother left while she was small. She grew up without motherly love and when Linda came back into her life, it was with a purpose.Her schemes interrupted Lily's life. Let's not even talk about how she plotted with Finn and had Lily held hostage.Then came Helena who didn't care that she was a child and dragged her into adult schemes. I always count myself unlucky for having an unhappy childhood. Looking at Lily, I have no reason to complain. I had my father doting on me before he became too lazy to breathe.Although my mother and sister never liked me, at least they never put me in danger. That leaves me with a question: how can

Hera POVWhen the meeting ends with Mason suggesting he has a plan to exit peacefully, I carry Lily in my arms and step out.I didn't expect Mason to make such a bold move. It's dangerous and risky but it feels right. He is choosing Lily and I over the life he has built for half his life.I am happy but most importantly, I am proud of him.I can tell that the crew is devastated by his exit. It's understandable, he has been their leader since the club started. I have to admit that choosing Zero to take over as the VP was the best decision he made for them.Zero is capable, sometimes I feel like he is even better than Mason but in his own ways.I watch as Fiona walks out ahead of everyone else, looking dejected.She didn't have much reaction to Mason leaving the club. For someone who has pinned over Mason for so long, j expected her to flop off or say something crazy. Nothing like that happened. Her mother's disappearance seems to have shaken her.I feel sorry for her, not because of gu
