Chapter 151: The Alpha’s Promise and Grace’s Return
(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.”
Jackson looked at Grace, his eyes soft, as if he was looking at someone else through her. “When I see her, I think of my sister. At that time, I promised her that I would bring her candy when I went back…”
The companion was stunned, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes. “Sorry…”
Jackson shook his head. “It’s okay.”
The helicopter cabin fell into a heavy silence. Everyone understood what Jackson’s words meant about his
sister.
When Olivia Winters and Connor Rivers arrived at Shadow Den, the helicopter had just landed on the base’s landing pad not long ago. Grace Winters was taken inside to eat.
Olivia ran over in a hurry. When she saw her half–sister, her legs became weak and she almost couldn’t stand. Connor grabbed her, steadying her trembling form. The relief was overwhelming, threatening to buckle her knees completely.
Olivia burst into tears, sobbing, “Grace…”
Grace, who was sitting at the dining table, heard her sister’s voice and looked back. Her eyes also filled with
tears.
“Sister!”
Olivia quickly walked to Grace’s side, hugged her tightly, and cried, “That’s great, you’re finally back, that’s great, that’s great… It’s good that you’re okay…”
Grace leaned in Olivia’s arms, and her soft sobs gradually turned into loud walls. All the terror and loneliness of her captivity poured out in those tears.

Connor stood aside and watched for a while. He gave Marcus Shaw a look, then turned and walked out.
