“Mavis was shot. It’s bad—really bad. The doctors over there can’t do a thing.” Portia’s voice was tight as she looked at Damien. “That’s why Uriah called Callie in the first place!”
“Callie’s done this sort of thing before, and Mavis means everything to us. There’s no way we’re letting anything happen to her.”
“As for why Uriah is so damn useless, well, I’d love to know myself.”
“He couldn’t even keep his own apprentice safe! If he were here right now, I swear I’d put him in the hospital myself,” Portia practically snarled between clenched teeth.
She was beyond furious. Mavis had always been under Uriah’s protection—ever since she was a kid, she’d trailed after him. He was supposed to look after her, always. For something this serious to happen… None of them saw it coming.
If they'd had any idea Mavis would be in danger, they never would have sent her on that last job. It wasn’t worth the risk.
The thing was, Mavis wasn’t some rookie either. She might not have been perfect, but she could handle herself—she wasn’t the kind to get killed easily. Back when her aim had been lousy, Callie spent weeks teaching her to shoot. Callie even made sure Mavis learned a few moves to protect herself. Plus, both of them carried emergency meds—Callie’s own concoctions—just in case things went south.
But for Uriah to call for help now, it could only mean one thing: Mavis was hurt so badly that not even Callie’s medicine could save her.
That thought made Portia angrier—and even more frustrated. Uriah was useless. He’d let Mavis get hurt. But at this point, there was nothing she could do except wait for them to come back.
“Isn’t it insane for Calliope to go out there alone? Stormgard’s chaos right now. Anything could happen! She’s too gorgeous for a place like that—someone’s bound to target her!” Damien ran his hands through his hair, agitation plain on his face. “Damn it, I should’ve gone with her! She’s on her own, and if I was there, at least I could shield her from trouble!”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
