Novel & Cerita The Third Wheel Strikes Back

Thoom! A loud rumble was heard as the Chi barrier was destroyed. The Third Elder’s attack directly landed on the First Elder’s back. Puff! The First Elder was sent flying as blood spewed from his mouth. He dropped to the ground right after. “What’s going on?” Many people immediately moved backward after they realized what had happened. “Third Elder, you…” The First Elder eyed the Third Elder, shocked and fearful. He was lucky that he had his guard up against the Third Elder, and that was why he could concentrate a Chi protective layer so quickly. Although he was hurt, his injuries were not that serious.

He used it to strike the man in the shoulder. ‎ ‎The man stumbled back. ‎ ‎The third man swung the metal bar at the stranger's head. ‎ ‎The stranger turned, not fast enough and the bar clipped his shoulder. ‎ ‎Maya's breath caught in her throat. ‎ ‎The stranger recovered quickly. ‎ ‎He grabbed the attacker's wrist. Twisted it making the man howl in pain. ‎ ‎The stranger kicked him in the chest sending him crashing to the ground. ‎ ‎The silence that followed was heavy.

He chokes and his body goes limp. I let it drop. The other two freeze. Terror floods their expressions. “Alpha....” one of them starts. I’m already moving. The second falls faster than the first. A strike to the chest and his ribs collapse inward under the force, his breath leaving him in a wet, broken sound before he hits the ground. The third tries to run. A big mistake. I catch up to him before he reaches the door. My hand slams him against the wall hard enough to crack stone.

He reproached Lisa for her forgetfulness. "Do you know that product recall would snowball into a crisis and let the company suffer financial losses? Why did I see it earlier?......" He directed a torrent of abuse at Lisa, nothing concentrated the mind better than the knowledge that you were wronged. Charles was quick to reproach anyone who didn't live up to his own high standards, and he had a terrible temper. However, Lisa was the one who met his standard for he never scolded her until today, he did it on purpose in front of Raymond and Kevin.

He carried Gina past me without a moment's hesitation. I stood alone in the corridor, leaning against the wall and watching their retreating figures as tears streamed down my face. My back throbbed with pain, but it was nothing compared to the ache in my heart. I wiped away my tears and smiled bitterly at myself. I had come to the hospital today to confirm my pregnancy and tell Sebastian the news, but I did not want to say anything anymore. This was his third betrayal, and it would be his last. I did not want to hear his explanations anymore, and I did not want to forgive him again.

Jenny's gaze kept shifting. First, confusion, then hatred. In the end, all that was left was regret. She gritted her teeth. Her roommates panicked. "Jenny, did you or did you not steal Eve's products? Tell the truth!" "Yes, at this point, what is more important than our beautiful faces?" Jenny finally lost it and slumped onto a chair. Tears fell. This time, it was genuine remorse. "I-It was me! I was the one who stole it!"

I could drop dead any second. All I cared about was my dad's broken ring. I scooped up the black shards and tucked them into a velvet box. Didn't matter how I tried to fix it—some things just don't go back. *** Three months into treatment, Lorenzo still found me. Guess Elisa caved. Lorenzo looked wrecked—scruffy, red-eyed, all that cold mafia polish worn down to something raw. "Chiara..." he croaked from the doorway. I stayed leaning on the headboard, voice barely there. "The engagement's off. We're just history now. What do you want?"

Although I didn't straight out accuse him of anything, it was enough to make Zephyr retract his hand like he'd been burned, while Samantha's face turned as pale as a sheet. "W-What are you saying?!" Skittering to hide behind Verona, I was the very image of a damsel in distress. "You wanted me to join you in a threesome, that's what! You're disgusting!" My words seemed to send ripples over the entire case, the other models stepping back in disgust and fear, as if being in the very presence of those two pieces of trash made them dirty. Zephyr tried to get back at me for what I said, but I had already fled together with Verona.

Sylvie didn’t answer. Because she didn’t know. The third strike came— Brutal. Direct. Unavoidable. But this time— Sylvie didn’t dodge. She caught it. Her hand locking around his wrist. The impact echoed. Shock rippled through the pack. “…She stopped him.” The Beta’s eyes widened slightly. Just for a second. That was all Sylvie needed. She twisted— Forcing him back. Breaking his balance. He staggered. Recovering quickly— But not fast enough.

As he struggles, I execute a seamless backflip to evade the Valis's renewed attack, landing with feline precision. They are nowhere near stopping. They charge at the same time. Coming at me from all directions. I deliver a rapid series of strikes—an upward knee to the rogue's face as he tries to rise, followed by a spinning roundhouse kick to the Valis's head. The third rogue finally moves, his eyes glowing with a predatory light. Valis is up again. This makes me grin. He never really knew when to give up.
