Chapter 75 Prunella’s Confession
Amanda’s POV:
When he looked at me, I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in his head.
But I couldn’t seem to figure him out…
Maybe he was just being nice because that’s what an Alpha’s supposed to do.
Whatever! Forget it!
I nodded and hopped onto his back. If I could save myself the walk, why not?

His back was broad, and even through his clothes, I could feel his body heat. It was so warm it made the tips of my ears tingle. My hands rested on his shoulders, and my fingertips brushed against his muscles underneath his shirt. My heartbeat suddenly went wild, like it was bouncing around in my chest.
Alice rolled her eyes, teasing me, “Oh? And who was it that said, ‘Even a destined mate has to prove their worth’?”
I bit my lip and stayed quiet, but my mind was a mess. It was the first time someone had ever carried me like this. The mountain breeze felt cool against my face, carrying his faint pine scent. Somehow, it made me feel safe.
But then again, he was my destined mate. Was this feeling of dependence just because the Moon Goddess said so, or had I actually fallen for him?
“Stop pretending,” Alice called me out. “When he ran down shouting your name, all the caution left your eyes. You’re telling me you haven’t fallen for him?”
“Shut up,” I snapped back in my head, but my fingers couldn’t help but clutch his collar tighter. He carried me down the rocky path, every step was steady. Sometimes he’d lower his head and ask softly, “Is it too bumpy?” His concern sounded real.
When we finally got back to Ortega Castle, the lights in the hall were still on. Hugh sat on the couch, clutching his cane. As soon as he saw me, he immediately stood up. “Amanda, you’re finally back. You okay? You didn’t get seriously hurt, did you?”
“I’m fine, Hugh. Thanks to Samson.” I avoided his eyes, not wanting him to see my chaotic thoughts.
Hugh’s face darkened as he turned to Samson. “Who would dare do something like this right under our noses? Samson, you must get to the bottom of this. We will not let this slide.”
“Yes, Grandpa,” Samson said, his voice low, eyes still cold and sharp.
I had made some plans. This was my problem, and no matter who it was, I’d get my own revenge. But seeing Hugh’s worried look, I swallowed my words and just said, “Thank you, Hugh!”
Back in my room, I locked the door and pulled out my phone to contact Theo. The screen lit up instantly, and his message instantly popped up.

“Boss, you okay?”
“I’m fine. Do me a favor.” I slowly typed a few lines and sent them, then closed my laptop.

I tapped my fingers on the screen, and the anger I’d been holding in finally found a way out. A smirk naturally curved my lips. Whoever dared to kidnap me would pay the price.
The next day, I took the day off from training.
By afternoon, I had Prunella brought to an old warehouse in the suburbs.
