The Shadowmere authorities were completely compromised. They would never act against Frederick’s interests willingly.
“What’s our next move?” I asked, though I already knew the answer.
“The extraction operation will commence tonight,” Dominic informed me. “Our team is already in position around the facility.”
I nodded approvingly. My pack would handle what the corrupt officials refused to do.
“Ensure minimal casualties among the legitimate military personnel,” I instructed. “Our target is Frederick’s operatives and the child.”
“Understood, Alpha,” Dominic replied with a respectful bow.
The rescue mission would be dangerous. But Grace Winters was family to Olivia. That made her worth any risk.
(Olivia’s POV)
Early morning drizzle painted my apartment windows with tiny droplets. The gray sky matched my troubled mood perfectly.
I had been struggling with sleep recently. The constant threats and worry about Grace kept me awake most nights.
????????????????????
At seven o’clock, I gave up trying to rest. My wolf was too restless for peaceful slumber.
I walked to my window in Whisperbrook Gardens and gazed out at the quiet street below. The rain created a melancholy atmosphere.
A familiar obsidian black Bentley pulled up to my building. The custom license plates with five eights were unmistakable.
Connor Rivers stepped out of the vehicle. His tall figure moved with purposeful determination toward my building entrance.
My heart raced with anticipation and dread. Connor only visited when something significant had happened. Minutes later, he knocked on my apartment door. I opened it to find his ice blue eyes filled with important news.
“Grace has been rescued from Frederick Warner’s forces,” he announced without preamble.
Relief flooded through me like a tidal wave. My knees nearly buckled with the intensity of my emotions.
“Where is she?” I asked urgently. “Is she safe? Is she hurt?”
“That’s why I came to you,” Connor replied. “We need to discuss the situation.”
I grabbed my coat without hesitation. Nothing else mattered except seeing my half-sister safely returned. As we traveled in Connor’s Bentley, questions tumbled from my lips. The leather seats felt cold against my skin.
“Was it the Shadowmere Law Enforcement or your men who rescued her?” I asked.
Connor’s expression grew grim. “The police had already been bought by Frederick Warner. My pack handled the extraction.”
The reality of corruption within law enforcement was sobering. Frederick’s influence reached further than ! had imagined.
“Were any of your people hurt during the mission?” I asked, genuine concern coloring my voice.
Connor’s eyes softened slightly at my question. He seemed pleased that I cared about his pack’s safety. “Minor injuries only,” he assured me. “Nothing that won’t heal quickly.”
I felt a wave of relief that his people had returned safely. Despite our personal issues, I didn’t want anyone hurt because of my family.
“Have you notified Richard Winters about Grace’s rescue?” I asked,
“He’s being informed as we speak,” Connor replied.
A new worry crept into my thoughts. Frederick Warner was still out there somewhere, planning his next move. “Are you sure Frederick Warner won’t come back for revenge?” I asked, my amber eyes reflecting deep concern about future retaliation from the exiled wolf.
(Third Person’s POV)
Connor Rivers looked serious and replied, “This time, I have transferred two groups of mercenaries from abroad. They have undergone more rigorous training than those in Frederick Warner’s military base. With them protecting you and your family, Frederick’s people will no longer be able to harm you.”
Olivia Winters was stunned. “Mercenaries?”
“Yes.” Connor pursed his thin lips, a hint of apology flashing in his ice-blue eyes. “It was my miscalculation before, I didn’t protect you and your family well. Livvy, I promise you, similar things will never happen again, I will protect you well.”
Olivia lowered her eyes slightly, her mood comple between them.
The weight of his words settled heavily in the space
Olivia heard Connor’s words, her heart touched and complicated. She wanted to ridicule him, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
The memory of Connor risking his life to save her from Vanessa Reed’s silver dagger flashed through her mind. His blood had stained her hands that night.
How could she mock someone who had nearly died protecting her? The cruel words died on her lips before they could form.
Soon, they arrived at Shadow Den. Grace Winters was brought back by Marcus Shaw, Connor’s elite enforcer. The rescue operation was led by Marcus Shaw, the commander of Connor’s American operations base. This level of commander rarely participated in actions personally.
He was surprised to receive the order to rescue a little girl. But he obeyed Connor’s orders unconditionally.
Marcus Shaw’s team, although better than Frederick Warner’s, still had five injured, three seriously. Luckily they brought a top-notch medical team.
He remembered Connor did not explain the importance of Grace Winters. But he knew she must be very important to Connor Rivers.
The helicopter flew from Shadowmere City in Blackmoor Territory to Connor’s base in Cloudmere for nearly seven hours. When Grace Winters was first rescued, she was in a coma.
But she woke up soon after a doctor injected glucose into her. She was very scared, but the doctor gave her a brief physical examination.
He found that she was just starving. The little girl was very scared, shivering on the seat.
Her face was pale, her eyes full of terror. The trauma of captivity had left deep marks on the eight-year-old. One of Marcus Shaw’s men, Jackson Harris – a wild and handsome young beta werewolf, looked strangely at Grace Winters. He turned to ask Marcus, “Boss, who is this little girl? Why did you have to come and save her personally?”
Marcus shook his head. “I don’t know, the Alpha didn’t say.”
Jackson Harris was one of the mercenaries who rescued Grace this time. Although he was only seventeen years old, he had already received professional training for nine years.
He had never failed in the tasks he had performed. His skills were better than many veterans.
He was one of the top three mercenaries under Marcus Shaw. Jackson’s arm was hit by a bullet, and the white gauze was stained scarlet with blood.
But he had no complaints. He just smiled and said, “Then she must be very important to the Alpha.”
Grace Winters looked up at him, and the fear in her eyes faded. She recognized this brother.
He was the one who rescued her from that dark dungeon. His arm was injured to save her.
Jackson saw that Grace was timid, and thinking of the little girl’s experience, he felt pity in his heart. He took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and handed it over.
“Little sister, do you want some candy?”
Grace hesitated for a moment, then tremblingly reached out and took the candy from Jackson’s hand. She said softly, “Thank you.”
Jackson smiled and said, “You’re quite polite.”
Another companion joked, “I can’t believe you have such a gentle side.”
