Chapter 72: In the Hurricane Dawn Pack

~ Cameron/Constantine ~

Melanie followed Lisa and Mimi first then Nate, and would go after fifteen minutes. I decided on the arrangement, as we must be careful not to let Lisa or Mimi realize they were followed. I changed my mind not to go to the Hurricane Dawn Pack because I was worried about Anna’s safety. So after discussing with Nate, finally we agreed to let Melanie go first, then Nate would come the second, and I would be the last. If we went together, the possibility for Lisa and Mimi to see us was higher.

Nate contacted me through the mind link. ‘Cam, they arrived at the pack. Melanie and I are outside, hiding behind a bush. Hurry!’

I rushed to go there. I was behind Nate and Melanie. As I didn’t want to startle Melanie, I talked through the mind link, ‘I’m behind you. Let’s talk through the mind link from now on.’ I opened the mind link to both of them so the three of us could communicate better.

Melanie turned around and nodded as she saw me. Her face showed she was relieved I was already there. ‘Yes, Alpha. I couldn’t see anything after their car went inside the gate.’

‘No worries, Melanie. Let’s go there.’ As I had been in the Hurricane Dawn Pack, I knew a safe place to go inside without no one could see us. ‘We will climb the wall. Follow me!’

It was an abandoned wall in the west side of the pack. We climbed the wall and checked the situation from upward. After making sure no one saw us, we jumped off the wall and found a hiding spot near a few small houses nearby.

‘Now what?’ Nate asked. ‘We don’t know where Lisa took Anna.’

I said nothing, as what Nate said was true. But then, suddenly, I remembered Mimi. ‘Wait! I’ll contact Mimi. Lisa is her Luna, but I’m still her Alpha. Let’s see where she places her loyalty.’

‘Good idea,’ Melanie commented.

Before I opened the mind link to contact Mimi, suddenly Melanie tapped my shoulder. ‘Alpha, it’s Mimi!’

‘Where?’ I asked.

‘There!’ Melanie pointed somewhere. Mimi strolled with her head bent. Her shoulders slumped, and she looked sluggish.

‘What happened to her?’ When she left our pack with Lisa, Mimi seemed enthusiastic. Did something happen here?

Then, before I did anything, Nate grabbed Mimi’s hand, covered her mouth with his hand, and whispered, “Don’t scream. It’s me, Beta Nathanael.”

Mimi’s eyes widened. Then she saw Melanie and me. Her cheeks were pale instantly. She bit her lower lip. But then her tears fell. Melanie patted Mimi’s shoulder and held her hand.

“Where did Luna take Anna?” I asked.

Mimi fell on her knees and bent her head to the ground. “Alpha, I swear I didn’t know Luna would harm Anna. If I knew, I would tell you everything.”

When I heard what Mimi said, I was scared to death. Because of knowing how different Lisa was from the first time I met her, I didn’t know what she would do to Anna.

I gestured my hand to ask her to stand. “Get up. Please tell me what happened.”

“Alpha, Luna wanted to harm Anna. She wanted to ruin her face with a cutter. Then, there was Alpha Bill ….”

“Oh, no! Where did Lisa take Anna?” I asked. “We must hurry! Anna must be in danger.”

“B-but Alpha Bill seemed to want to protect her,” Mimi said. “He said she was under his protection.”

I shook my head. “I don’t trust him. He harmed Anna before. Now, Anna is within his clutch. He won’t let her go. Where did Lisa take Anna?” I repeated my question.

“It’s in a small house, Alpha. I can show you.”

“No. If we go together, it’ll be easy for people to spot us. Where will you go before you meet us?” I asked her.

“Go back to our pack, Alpha.”

“I see. Then try to leave this pack, but leave us a clear sign where Anna is right now.”

Mimi bent her head. “I understand.” Then she rushed in the opposite direction from where she walked before. She pointed at a house, then glanced backward. When she saw me, Mimi nodded and glanced at the house again. Afterward, she walked away and didn’t look back anymore.

~ Anna/Victoria ~

Cameron, if we couldn’t meet again, please remember me. I took a deep breath and gulped. If only I didn’t love my pup, I might kill myself to not let Bill defile me. But I had Cameron’s pup in my womb. No matter what, I must stay alive.

“Release my hands and feet!” I ordered him. “I don’t want to repeat the past. This time, I’ll do it with you willingly, but only once.”

“Willingly?” Bill blinked his eyes. “Are you sure?”

I nodded. “I have a pup in my womb. If you rape me, it may harm my pup too. I want nothing bad to happen to my pup.” I stroked my belly. “Please be gentle. If you truly want to do as you said, that you wanted to be a father to my pup, please don’t harm my pup.”

Bill smiled. He sat next to me and stroked my cheek. “I’ll be gentle. It will be better if I don’t need to force you. I love you, Anna.” Later, he untied my feet first, then my hands. “Strip your clothes, my dear. I want to see your beautiful body.”

I nodded. I knew this was my chance to distract him. So, I reached for the buttons on my trousers and unbuttoned them one by one. As I took my time, Bill suddenly grabbed my hands and shoved them aside. Then, with force, he ripped my trousers and tore it apart.

“What are you doing? I thought you would be gentle,” I protested.

“You took too long. I want you now!” He pulled the remaining of my trousers and tossed them to the floor. Then he grinned. “You are still as beautiful as you were. I want you now.”

“Wait! Let me remove my pin first.” I removed a few pins but hid two or three of them. When Bill grabbed my waist, I stabbed his hand with my pins.

“Small pins?” He laughed aloud. “It won’t hurt me!” But then his laugh turned into a hiss. “You!”
