Alle Kapitel von His Property: Kapitel 41 – Kapitel 50

(Alex’s POV)The moment I stepped outside the office, I found Kara waiting in the hallway.Beside her stood Blaze, Bryce, and Carter. None of them looked particularly hopeful.Kara crossed her arms as she narrowed her eyes at me.Just looking at their faces I can already tell what they were here for.“We need to talk.”I nodded.“Let’s go somewhere private.”Without another word, we headed toward one of the unused classrooms at the end of the administration building.The room was empty.Blaze quietly locked the door behind us. And the moment we settled in, the atmosphere immediately grew serious.I looked around making sure no one was listening.“Tell me everything.” I said.Kara inhaled slowly. “It happened two days ago. The same day you left town.”I frowned.“He told his mom he was going for a walk. And he never came home.”Blaze stepped forward.My heartbeat quickened.“What have you found?” I asked, my veins popping as the thought of Henry being kidnapped grew on my head.Bryce u

(Henry’s POV)I squeezed my eyes shut.I couldn’t bear to look anymore.My entire body trembled as Aaron’s footsteps slowly echoed across the wooden floor, each one louder than the last. My heart pounded so violently against my ribs that it almost hurt.Please… Please don’t…I silently prayed.Mom… Grey… Someone… Anyone… Help—[CLANK!]The loud rattling of chains echoed through the room. I flinched. The suddenky I heard a loud crack.The chain around my ankle suddenly loosened.My eyes flew open.“Huh?” I stared in disbelief as the heavy iron cuff that slipped from my ankle and landed on the floor with a loud clang.For several seconds, I simply stared.I was… free?I slowly lifted my gaze.Aaron was standing in front of me, casually dusting off his hands as if breaking solid iron chains was no more difficult than snapping dry twigs.“…”Our eyes met, then he raised a brow at me.“What?”I continued staring.

(Alex’s POV) The air inside the room was heavy. No one spoke for several seconds after Bryce finished explaining his plan. I folded my arms across my chest, staring at the map spread over the desk, but my mind wasn’t on the territory or the patrol routes. It was on Henry. Every second that passed, he was still out there. Alone. Scared. And I wasn’t with him! The thought alone made my insides churn furiously beneath my skin. “We don’t have anyone who is dumb and at the same time courageous enough to do that.” Blaze muttered. Bryce scratched the back of his head before clearing his throat. “Well…” He looked around awkwardly. “I know someone who can help.” I slowly lifted my eyes. “…Who?” “My cousin.” Immediately, my brows knitted together. “…Aaron.” “No.” The word left my mouth instantly. Bryce sig

(Henry’s POV)My hands wouldn’t stop shaking.“Alex… Alex…”His name escaped my lips over and over as I cradled his now human form on my lap.Blood.There was so much blood.This wasn’t supposed to happen. This was all my fault.“Henry!”I looked up just as Kara burst into the clearing, completely out of breath. Her eyes swept over the battlefield before landing on Alex.“No.” Her face drained of color as he saw his unconscious body.Without another word she sprinted toward us.“What happened?!”Behind me, Blaze, Bryce, Carter, and Aaron all shifted back into their human forms.The sound of cracking bones echoed across the forest.Within seconds they were kneeling around Alex.“Henry, let me check him.”Blaze immediately checked Alex’s pulse.Bryce grabbed the emergency medical pack that Kara brought with her while Carter carefully rolled Alex onto his side.Deep claw marks stretched across his chest. Fresh blood continued to seep from the wounds. It was closing, but the wound was so

(Henry’s POV)The moment the others learned that he woke up after spending an entire day worrying whether he would wake up or not, relief was instantly written all over their faces as they rushed here in the infirmary.The door swung open one after another.“Alex!”“You finally woke up.”“You scared the hell out of us.”One after another, they gathered around the bed, asking how he was feeling and checking if he could already move. The once silent room was now filled with lively voices and light laughter, almost as though nothing terrible had happened.I remained quietly by the window, watching everything unfold.None of them noticed or realized that it wasn’t Alex anymore. But how could they?His appearance hadn’t changed in the slightest. The golden eyes staring back at everyone were still the exact same shade Alex had always possessed. They weren’t the slightly deeper golden hue Elijah’s eyes usually carried, making it impossible for anyone to suspect that the person sitting on t
