Deanna’s POV:

My teeth chattered from the cold; even my words shook. “Don’t … worry. This isn’t blood.”

It was the water I’d just smeared from the floor.

However, because I was wearing a black gown, it wasn’t immediately obvious; in the dim light, it looked like blood.

I was truly freezing–so cold my stomach seized and spasmed, pulsing hard.

So, I didn’t dare move anymore.

Right now, we have to get out of this hellhole quickly.

Otherwise, even if I’m not bleeding now, staying a while longer is a challenge to the pup in my belly.

Maggie braced against the wall and stood up, step by step, walking to the door, pounding hard.

“Anyone there–anyone outside?

“People are locked in here–come save us, please!”

Maggie kept shouting and knocking, but there wasn’t a sound outside.

This warehouse is far from the banquet hall, and it’s halfway up the hill; if no one comes this way, even if we scream ourselves hoarse, no one will know.

Maggie’s face tightened with anxiety; she kept rubbing her arms with her hands to build some heat.

The cold of the freezer room hadn’t eased; after venting cold air for so long, even the outer storage area’s temperature had basically equalized.

Maggie kept pounding on the door–hard enough that her hands must’ve hurt–yet she didn’t stop shouting either.

“Can someone come save us? Deanna’s about to pass out!”

“Maggie, don’t … shout. Save your strength.” My lashes quivered; it felt like a white crust of frost had formed on them.

Maggie felt her way back along the wall to my side.

And in an instant, tears poured down, her sobs hitching.

“It’s me–it’s my jinx. I’ve dragged you into trouble again and again. Deanna, if anything happens to your baby, just kill me.”

As she spoke, she slapped herself hard; her right check flushed and swelled at once.

Her crying made the stabbing in my head worse; I reached out and caught the hand she was using to hit herself.

Our hands, red from the cold, clutched together like they were about to freeze solid.

Maggie gripped back tight, her voice choking. “Deanna, I’m scared–so scared something really happens to you. I yelled for so long, and no one answered–are we going to freeze to death here?”

I said, one word at a time, “We are not going to die.”

Maggie sniffled. “Deanna, how do you know?”

I lifted the corner of my lips in a weak arc and looked at the moonstone bracelet on my

The moonstone bracelet glowed pale yellow in the dark, rippling with light, its luster still bright.

“Luis will come for me.”

I said it very seriously, “He will definitely find me.”

He’s my fated mate; I believe he’ll sense I’ve gone missing.

I cupped my belly and whispered, “So, baby, let’s wait together for your daddy to come, okay?”

Third–person POV:

Banquet hall.

Luis and Harrison, along with his brother Gerald, had reached an initial intent to cooperate on the North District development zone.

All that remained was for both sides‘ lawyers to sign the agreement in the next two days.

The news delighted Harrison and Gerald.

The North District project was a real prize.

Originally, Mooncrown Corporation had the capital to develop the area alone.

Because of the old Alpha of the Bluestone Pack, Luis agreed to partner with Bluestone Bank.

In other words, by sticking close to Mooncrown Corporation, they’d at least get a taste of the leftovers.

And even the leftovers were nothing to sneeze at.

If the North District development were to succeed, the profits would sustain Bluestone Bank for three years.

Harrison and Gerald lifted their glasses again, toasting Luis.

Luis stood with innate poise, took a casual sip of whiskey, and let his dark eyes sweep the hall -he didn’t see Deanna.

His brows knit.

Just then, another wave of people surged up, all with glasses raised, wanting to toast him, to get their faces remembered.

Surrounded by deference and fawning, Luis was bored; he didn’t even lift an eyelid.

Sensing the keep–away aura rolling off him, no one dared press further.

Luis took out his phone and dialed.
