Chapter 113 Right Path

    Third Person’s Point Of View,

    “Seraphinal”

    Ronan’s boots pounded against the stained floors of the underground brothel, the red lights flickering like the pulse of something evil that was alive in the walls. His lungs burned, his muscles strained, but he didn’t slow. His wolf roared only fo her, louder than ever before, wing at his insides with the desperation of a beast sensing its possession was in danger.

    He felt her close by but bher /baura was fading fast, as if forcibly erased. Still the bpull /bof her wolf…it was there, slipping further from his grasp with beach /bsecond.

    He turned the final corner with a ragged breath band /bthen broke down the door where he felt her. The door crushed downb. /bloudly but as he stormed in. “Seraphina!!”

    The room was empty. His wolf eyes spotted therge amount of the blood on the floor, fresh and dark, soaking into the bred /bcarpeting. At least, it was not her blood. He could tell this much. But he was gone. Or worse taken away.

    Seraphina… he whispered, clutching his fists. He was a minute btoo /bte.

    At the same time, far across the brothel’s sprawling underground, Asher mmed his body through ba /bnarrow corridor where he heard the terrified screams of some other females. He was close to the right ce!

    Only when he mmed the door open, it was empty. “What the fuck!” he clenched his teeth.

    Meanwhile. Finn, moving like ba /bshadow, darted through the quieter path. There were screams but no moment at all. As if the entire brothel was dead. Of course, that was what made him sure that he was in a ce where he should not be. That was when he spotted something, half–buried in the dust and dirt. Something glimmered faintly bunder /bthe flickering wall sconce

    He hurriedly knelt bto /ba delicate silver anklet. One he’d seen on Grace’s bankle /bthe day she arrived.

    His fingers clenched around it, heart beating wildly, and his head snapping bahead/b. “Grace has to be around here somewhere! he growled.

    At the same btime /bbat /banother location. Ryker’s path ended at a dead wall. ording to the map Asher had, there should have been a corridor. Another passage.

    But it was bricked up. He stared at the wall with nk eyes but clearly felt something behind it. More like what bhis /bwolf was looking for.

    Only he was not alone bdown /bthere. He slowly turned baround /bband /bmet the yellow eyes of a tall rogue with an evil smile. The bman /bbwho /bhad been ying worthless rogue behind Juan but actually a strong and evil one. He bwas /bgiving off ba /bvery strong

    a blike /bthat of both Grace and Seraphina.

    However Ryker was not alone to be bfound/b.

    Juan’s right–hand bman /bstood some distance ahead, smiling evilly at Finn bwith /bhis head still bleeding from Finn’s bprevious/b.

    Wiale Asher turned baround /bto find a monstrous looking rogue with the height of a bgori /bdragging a bloodied Mark and forcing him to point directly bat /bAsher as if confirming somethingb. /b

    Konan stood in the red room, bin /bba /bstaring contest with the rogue standing outside the room with Seraphina’s veil between his

    bgers /blike a trophy. It bwas /bbat /bthat bmoment /bthat the camera ahead attracted his attention.

    There were dozens of them embedded in the walls, in bthe /bceilings Recording, not only him but all four of bthem /b

    in the red room deep below, Juan leaned back bin /bbhis /bplush seat with a devilish grin, swirling a bss /bof blood–red bwine/b. “So they really arere to tnd bthat /bgirl Ss has he crossed his legs and nced at unconscious Sera on the bbed/b. “Too bad, all of

    find you will the” the rogue with a ugly scar on his face entered the room watching juan stare at the Seraphina as he hushed.

    Especially you, woman”

    The scared wolf’s eyes snagged on her exposed waist as he informed Jaan. Ss is calling for you.”

    just head snapped at him “Why?”

    Chapter 113 Right Path

    We got the wrong girl,” the wolf revealed.

    Finished

    “What?!” Juan sprang up from his seat and stormed out of the room saying, “Guard this she–wolf. If she escapes, you will lose your head!

    The scared wolf nced at Ryker. Ronan, Finn and Asher fighting with the rogues in the footage and bthen /bdefenseless. Seraphina on the bed.

    He stretched his hand out to lock

    the door without tearing his eyes from bSeraphina /bas he murmured. “Of course, I will guard

    her, a dirty smile appeared on his lips as he edged closer to bthe /bbed. “In my own way…”

    Ryker grabbed the rogue by the throat, mming him against the wall so hard the stone cracked. “Youid a hand on something I desire?” he hissed. With a cruel smile, he twisted his ws deep into the rogue’s gut, then up. His scream was choked. Ryker whispered, “Rot in hell,” and let him drop unceremoniously to the bfloor/b.

    Finn ducked the rogue’s bswing/b, eyes zing, “When I ask you something, speak before you even blink,” he snarled. In one swift motion, he drove his ws through the rogue’s mouth, silencing his scream. Blood spilled over Finn’s hand as he yanked it out. “Having hands does not mean you get to touch everything, you know. Especially bwhat /bI bhave /bmy eyes

    bon /b

    Asher’s eyes burned bblood /bred as he dodged the rogue’s strike, then lunged with a guttural snarl. His ws shed through flesh, tearing deep across the rogue’s chest. Blood sprayed. Asher pinned bhim /bdown, ws sinking in. “Touching Grace was already a sin but then you had to touch what has be my bottom line, huh?” he whispered, before ripping out the rogue’s throat. “Not a wise decision.”

    Ronan snarled as his bback /bmmed against a crumbling wall, shattering the tile behind him. Dust clouded the bair/b, but his eyes locked on the rogue gripping Seraphina’s veil. With a guttural roar, he lunged with ws shing and striking the rogue across the chest. Blood sprayed as he ripped the veil free.

    “You don’t touch bwhat’s /bmine,” he growled. “Bitch!”

    Not that the fight was over.

    The rogue smirked even as he bled,unching himself at Ronan again. They crashed through a broken door, then a splintered window. Debris flew, fists band /bws colliding, until Ronan was shoved back right into another solid body.

    Finn.

    They exchanged a nce just as Ryker and Asher burst through opposite hallways, equally bloodied and locked inbat. They’d all been funneled to the same cross–section of corridors, Surrounded. Dozens of rogues snarled bfrom /ball sides. bcircling /blike bwolves /bscenting victory.

    Asher wiped bblood /bfrom his brow. “If they’re bstopping /bus here, it means we’re on the right path. Close to Seth and Grace.”

    Everyone growled blow /bin agreement bwhile /bbRonan’s /bbsense /bof Seraphina being in danger sharpened. He could not waste his btime /bbfighting/b. He bhad /bto get to her before it was toote. So he ripped the face of the rogue in front of him to make ban /bopening for bhimself /bbut two other rogues jumped bon /bbhim /bbfrom /bRyker’s direction

    All of them were attacked by more rogues at the same time.

    “AHHHHHH…….” Konan roared at the top of his lungs, ripping the bwolves /bbapart /bas bmore /brogues blocked his path until a figure jumped among bthem /blike a sh

    A blur of bloody w and iron tore through the rogues. One. Two Three, down before they could even react or blink. bA /bbthick /bbaron /brod swung like lightning, shattering bone and skull. As a w plucked eyes bout /bband /bripped hearts bout /blike a two edge

    Ryker band /bRoman free mid–sh as the figure stepped into view, bdrenched /bin blood, snorting like a beast, eyes burning with bloodlust Asher and bFinn /balso froze as they all saw the face no one expected
