บททั้งหมดของ He Wanted a Cute Train Ride, I Got Kidnapped Instead: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 8

Even so, Seraphina wasn't about to let me off the hook.A notification pinged. Seraphina has removed your comment.A bitter, humorless smile twisted my lips. Of course she did.Even in the supposed sanctuary of our cabin, the cacophony of the train was a physical assault. The reek of stale beer, cheap human perfume, and the sharp, animal musk of hundreds of werewolves—it all slammed into me, a brutal sensory overload.The rocking of the train became a nauseating lurch, each sway a hammer blow against my skull. The headache morphed into a full-blown migraine until exhaustion finally claimed me, pulling me under into a fitful sleep.I have no idea how long I was out before a hand, gentle and familiar, began to stroke my hair.I jolted awake, my vision swimming with black spots. But through the dizzying haze, I saw him. Kael.I gently pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me.""Gods, Elena, you look like hell," he murmured, the concern in his voice a little too practiced. He sat beside m

I found an empty restroom and ran cold water over the burn until my leg was numb. As for burn salve, that would have to wait until we were off this cursed train.Luckily, the journey was almost over.When I limped back to my seat, the kind-faced Omega healer from before glanced at me with concern. Seeing the storm in my eyes, however, he wisely kept his distance.A few hours later, as the train began to slow for its final approach to the station, Kael finally materialized in the public car."Alright, have you sulked long enough?" he asked, his tone dripping with a patience I could no longer tell was real or fake, as he reached to ruffle my hair.I flinched away, turning my head.Kael sighed, a mask of weary patience settling on his face. "Look, I'm sorry. The signal on this rust bucket is terrible, I never got your message. Can we move past this?"He lowered his voice, his tone shifting to that of a magnanimous leader. "But Elena, your behavior was unacceptable. You can't just attack

Kael’s POVNot knowing what else to do, Kael spotted the station's security cameras. A spark of desperate hope ignited. He sprinted toward security.A call request came through from Seraphina. He ignored it. She called again. And again."Just wait there!" he finally answered, his voice laced with the Alpha command, and immediately hung up. His heart pounded. What if Elena called and the line was busy?When they heard an Alpha heir might be missing, security immediately pulled up the surveillance footage. Kael gave them the train number. Soon, Elena's figure appeared on the screen.He saw the elderly man help Elena with her suitcases. Kael froze. The gap between the train and the platform was wide. Those two heavy suitcases... Elena couldn't have gotten them down on her own. He swore he would apologize properly as soon as he saw her.But then the camera lingered on the man. On the way his eyes slithered over Elena's body.Not with kindness, but with the cold, calculating ap

The trafficker's drug hadn't worn off. I quickly fell back into a deep sleep.When I woke again, the first thing I saw was my father, his eyes red and rimmed with exhaustion. He had taken the fastest fighter jet."Father!" The tears came instantly.My pack's Alpha already knew everything. His voice was thick with emotion. "I'm here, Father's here. Don't be scared, Elena. You're safe now.""Don't tell Mother," I choked out. "She's inspecting the northern territories."Just then, Kael showed up, his face a mess of bruises. He saw my father, then rushed forward and fell to his knees."Alpha Adrian," he choked out. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm the one who hurt Elena.""I... I just saw Seraphina and thought of the old days. I just wanted to help her. The only one I've ever loved is Elena. Please, just this once. Help me talk to her. Tell her not to throw us away. I'm begging you, sir!""Get. Out." My father's voice was a physical force, an Alpha command that slammed into Kael, send
