Chapter 99

Chapter 99
She raises her bloodshot eyes up and looked at Ethan. He not for once even look remorseful for turning her in to Vincent. His face looks careless and heartless. He doesn't even have a glimpse of sympathy or look apologetic for betraying her trust.
 
Hunter warned her about him. But that's not the point. The point was, she was about to face her death any moment.
 
"Oh shut the fuck up. You've gotten your share, why the fuck are you still here? Aren't you going to look for a way to fucking leave this town and go to your pathetic girlfriend?"
 
There was a pang in her chest. She wasn't even angry. She was just disappointed. Her eyes were still on him and he also never looked away. His just tensed at the mention of his girlfriend. He wasn't even worried that he just handed her to the bad guys. His concern was that Vincent just announced that he has a girlfriend.
 
 
Vincent looked from Ethan to Elise. He looked at Ethan again with a coarse laughter. "Oh, she doesn't know? She doesn't know, huh? She doesn't know that you have another girl waiting for you in a far place from here? This girl is so stupid. Just as stupid as her father." He shakes his head, suppressing his laughter.
 
Ethan still doesn't say anything. He cuts his look from her and focused on Vincent.
 
"Have you called her father yet? I saw her idiotic boyfriend wandering around and looking for her. You better take her and leave here before he arrives."
 
Elise looks down—he did came after her. But it doesn't do anything to calm the fact that he literally got a mate just immediately after she left. The betrayal!
 
"I'd fucking kill her if he tries to do anything stupid. Guards, take her to my pack and tie her up." He hurriedly made his way to the doorless pass.
 
"You traitor," she said through gritting teeth. Ethan casually shoves his hands in his pockets as he looked down at her. Emotionless.
 
All the signs were there—the constant paranoia whenever he's around her. The disappearance. It's all her fault for ignoring the obvious signs. It's all her fault for thinking he had changed and he really wants to fix things between them.
 
"What I got was worth more than being with you." He turns after that and left also.
 
He encounters with Vincent backing up with his hands up. "Fuck," he cursed and took off through the window.
 
It was too late. The whole place was guarded with Burton and Hunter's pack warriors. They were thrice as many as Vincent's guards.
 
"Where is she?" Hunter yelled out, going after Vincent and strangling him. He was to angry to the extent that his claws pop out in Vincent's neck. "I swear I'm going to kill you for hurting her," he vowed, tightening his hold around Vincent's neck.
 
Burton rushed over to her and helped her up. "Oh, my God Are you alright, honey? I'm so sorry it took so long," he said, checking out her body for any more wounds. He hugs her In his arms. "You are never leaving my side again... never." His trembling arms around her makes her feel more vulnerable than she already was.
 
"I'm so sorry," she mumbled through her tears. Her throats hurts so bad that it somewhat overweights the pain she felt in her chest.
 
Hunter ordered his guards to capture all of Vincent's people and take them to the guard room for torture.
 
His hands were still around Vincent's neck until he was about to pass out. Hunter growls loudly as his scratches off  his face with his claws. He hits his head again the hard floor and strangle him again.
 
"You're dead, Vincent! You've done enough," he yelled angrily.
 
Elise hugged her father tighter and closed her eyes. It was too much for her to watch. She has never seen Hunter this viscous before. He was always soft around her that she sometimes forgets how powerful and strong he was.
 
He doesn't let go until Vincent was completely weak and had passed out. Hunter got to his feet, gasping for air as he turn back to his human form.
 
His eyes rests on Elise and he completely softens. His shoulders fall as he sighed, walking toward them.
 
Burton has his arm around her while she hugged his torso. She could feel the wild beating of her heart especially now that he was standing so close to them.
 
"Can I speak with her for a moment... please?" He pleaded. Burton looks down at her and smiled. He nods his head and frees himself from her tight hold.
 
"He'll bring you home," he tells her and kissed her temple before walking over to Vincent that was still on the floor. The guards took Vincent and left with him.
 
They were now left alone.
 
It's either they mend or they break.
