All Chapters of Her Guard Dog Wants Out of the Leash: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Elijah's POVDespair filled my heart as the guards arrived. They locked me inside an iron cage and hauled me off to the battle arena.Sinead turned to leave, but for some reason, she caught my gaze and paused. "I haven't been to the arena in a long time. Let's go together."Wesley's expression shifted slightly. He still wore that dignified, gentle smile as he glanced at me, but I could detect a trace of malice lurking beneath it.The battle arena stood at the very heart of the western coast. Spectators filled the seats. The moment I entered, the overwhelming stench of blood hit me.Sammie Foster, my junior fellow bodyguard, heard what had happened and rushed to the arena. She dropped to her knees before Sinead and begged, "Ms. Powell, the beasts in the arena are incredibly vicious. Even those who survive their matches end up crippled. Please, for the sake of everything Elijah has done for you, spare him!"Before Sammie could finish, a boot slammed into her chest and sent her sp

Elijah's POVI woke up three days later. After examining me, the doctor remarked in amazement, "You've got an incredible will to live. You've come back from the brink of death several times now."I could only manage a bitter smile. To stay by Sinead's side, having an indomitable will to pull through life-and-death situations was a basic requirement for survival.But before I could ask about anything else, the doctor received a message and hurriedly left.I followed him, never expecting that he was going to see Sinead.The doctor told her, "Ms. Powell, you're three months pregnant, but the pregnancy isn't progressing well. You're showing signs of a possible miscarriage. You must avoid overexerting yourself from now on."I froze in shock and stared at Sinead's still-flat stomach.Three months ago, Sinead had gone head-to-head with her opponents in a fierce round of corporate negotiations and emerged victorious. That very night, she had come to my room and passionately pulled me

Elijah's POV"How much blood will he need?" Sinead asked the doctor while gently patting Wesley's back."Mr. White needs to bathe in blood," the doctor replied.Sinead hummed in acknowledgment and kissed Wesley on the forehead.Then, she ordered in an even tone, "Do it. Wesley's health comes first."Not once did either of them bother to ask if I was willing to give my blood. And how could one person's blood possibly fill an entire bathtub? And even if it could, would I have any chance of surviving after the ordeal?I tried to retreat, but the attendants pinned me down, pressing on my shoulders.The doctor approached me with an enormous needle. The next moment, pain spread through every bone and muscle in my body. My face drained of color as I shook my head."No…"My feeble resistance didn't generate an ounce of sympathy in Sinead. Frowning, she covered Wesley's ears and shot me a warning glance.I knew perfectly well that if I continued to resist, the punishment awaiting me w

Elijah's POVThe moment the words left her lips, a bullet struck my shoulder."Second shot.""Elijah."There were seven shots in total. By the final one, the gun was aimed directly at my heart. My body was riddled with bullet wounds, and I collapsed into a pool of blood."Who will you choose for the final shot?" the man pressed.At last, Sinead looked at me. Our eyes met.Her red lips parted as she gave her final answer. "Elijah."With a loud bang, the bullet struck my chest, and I blacked out.…Amid the murky darkness, I could hear the steady beeping of medical equipment. I had no idea how much time had passed before I finally opened my eyes.But the first thing I saw was a bloodied corpse hanging right in front of me.It was Sammie.Every inch of her skin had been peeled from her body. Her eyes were wide open, as though she had died with unbearable grievances left unspoken."Sammie!" I cried out with rage and grief. I jerked upright, ignoring the agonizing pain in my

Third-Person POVThe all-healing balm was incredibly expensive, but it had become a tacit understanding between Sinead and Elijah. Every time he got injured, she would leave a jar of the balm in his room.As soon as he saw it, he would know that she cared about him.For Sinead, who had wielded the power of life and death over everyone in the Powell family since she was born, this was already an exception to her usual way of interacting with others.She had always occupied a position of unquestionable privilege. Whenever something caught her eye, someone would kneel before her and offer it to her. For example, when she turned 18 and wanted an obedient dog, May had sent Elijah straight to her.The young man had stood with his back straight, his eyes calm and bright. Sinead had immediately decided that he would make a good dog. So, she kept Elijah by her side.She watched him take bullets for her. She watched him kneel before her. She watched him strip off his clothes and climb into
