All Chapters of The Bride He Never Wanted : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

OLIVIA"My wolf doesn't give up easily," I said quietly. "And neither do I."Axiel was quiet for a moment, then nodded once. "Good. You're going to need that." He moved toward the door again. "I'll be back in two minutes with clothes. There's a bathroom through there," he gestured to a door on the left, "clean yourself up as best you can. We need to move fast.""Axiel," I called out before he could leave.He paused, glancing back."Thank you," I said, the words feeling inadequate but necessary. "For saving me. For helping me get Ryan back." "He's my brother," he said simply. "Even if he doesn't know it yet. Even if he never knew I existed." His jaw tightened. "This is the least I can do."Before I could ask what he meant, he was gone.I stood there for a moment, letting his words sink in. Then I pushed everything else aside- the questions, the confusion, the fear, and focused on what mattered.I moved to the bathroom, my legs still shaky but stronger than they'd been minutes ago. My

AXIELI won't lie, I'd been really pleased with how she was handling this whole situation. Ready to go in there to save Ryan without panic, without hesitation. The way she'd taken down that technician, the cold efficiency in her movements, the tactical mind working through every obstacle we encountered.No lies, the pack really raised her well.But now we had a problem. We needed someone who had card access and.we'd need to use their fingerprint to get through that door. But how was that even possible? We couldn't exactly march someone up to the scanner while they were unconscious, and if we woke them up, they'd raise the alarm.Before I could voice any of this, Olivia spoke."We take the technician from the closet," she said, her voice low and steady. "He's wearing a lab coat, which means he likely has some level of clearance. Maybe not full access to level three, but enough to get us closer."I turned to look at her. "And the fingerprint?""We bring him with us," she said simply. "

OLIVIAI grabbed a fallen rifle and used it as a club, taking out two more soldiers. One tried to grab me from behind… I dropped low, flipped him over my shoulder, and slammed him into the wall hard enough that he didn't get up."Axiel, move!" I shouted, creating a path through the chaos.He didn't need to be told twice. Still carrying Ryan, he ran past the confusion of fallen and struggling soldiers, heading for the exit.I covered our retreat, taking down anyone who tried to follow. A soldier lunged at me with a combat knife… I disarmed him in two moves and used his own weapon to cut through the shoulder strap of another soldier's rifle."Stop them!" the lead soldier wheezed from the floor where I'd left him.But we were already at the door.I grabbed one of the smoke grenades from my belt… thank God Axiel had packed these… pulled the pin, and threw it into the middle of the remaining soldiers.Thick gray smoke exploded outward, filling the hallway.I turned and ran after Axiel and

OLIVIAI walked out of Ryan's room feeling completely exhausted and starving. The adrenaline from the rescue had long since worn off, leaving me drained and shaky. I'd just taken another bath in the room Axiel had allocated to me in this surprisingly nice apartment. It wasn't luxurious, but it was clean, secure, and most importantly, safe. The hot water had helped wash away the blood and grime from the facility, but it couldn't quite wash away the bone-deep exhaustion.I made my way to the balcony, needing fresh air and a moment to process everything that had happened. The Barcelona skyline stretched out before me, lights twinkling in the darkness. It was beautiful, peaceful… such a stark contrast to the chaos we'd just escaped.I sat down on one of the balcony chairs and let my head fall back, closing my eyes. We'd done it. Against all odds, we'd actually gotten Ryan out. He was alive. He was safe. He was…My stomach let out an embarrassingly loud growl that echoed in the quiet nigh

RYANI woke up to significantly less body pain, which was honestly a win at this point. My head wasn't pounding like someone was using it as a bass drum anymore, and I could actually move my fingers without wanting to scream.At least I wasn't in that lab where they were probably planning to dissect me and sell my parts on the supernatural black market or whatever the hell they were doing.I stared at the ceiling, trying to piece together what had happened. And then... I remembered seeing someone who looked exactly like me."Well, that was a weird-ass dream," I muttered to myself, shifting slightly in the bed. "Why the hell would I dream about a twin? Just then, the door opened.Olivia walked in, and my heart did that stupid fluttering thing it always did when I saw her. She looked tired but relieved, and when she saw I was awake, her face lit up with the most beautiful smile."Ryan," she breathed, moving quickly to my bedside. "You're awake. How are you feeling?""Like I got hit by
