Sorry I'm Mated To The Commander novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192

Chapter 192

Deep in the palace’s forbidden grounds, Atlas stood before a wall several yards thick, his expression grim and stormy.

He slammed his fist against it, blood streaming from his knuckles, but the wall didn’t move an inch.

Leilani, face full of guilt, said softly, “I’m sorry, Atlas. I didn’t expect them to do something like this.”

Just moments ago, Atlas had come to the palace as usual to visit Leilani, catching up and chatting about the wedding plans.

Atlas couldn’t wait for the big day.

But after he drank a cup of coffee, he found himself completely immobilized.

Next thing he knew, he, Leilani, and Mollie were all locked up in the palace’s forbidden zone.

The forbidden zone was built from an exotic mineral, making it impossible for any shifter to tap into their psychic force here.

Plus, the place was blanketed by massive magnetic interference, so every piece of tech, from AI to mech suits, was dead in the water.

Atlas narrowed his eyes, his voice icy. “So, Krish finally couldn’t wait any longer and decided to wipe us out?”

Leilani stayed silent, simply turning her gaze toward another part of the room.

Meanwhile, Dakota was watching everything unfold on the monitors. He frowned at Krish and said, “Isn’t this going too far? Leilani and Atlas haven’t done anything wrong.”

Leilani answered, “Dad, of course, Leilani and Atlas haven’t done anything wrong. But Layla is about to become part of their family. I was worried they wouldn’t be able to make the hard choice, so I had to do this.”

Dakota watched Leilani’s eerily calm look on the monitor, feeling uneasy.

Noticing his hesitation, Krish quickly said, “Dad, I’m doing this for Atlas and Leilani. Only by keeping them here can we ensure they’re completely separated from the rebels’ affair. Otherwise, the public might think they’re colluding with the

rebels.”

Dakota fell silent for a moment before finally saying, “No matter what, you can’t hurt them.”

“Of course not,” Krish replied.

Krish hadn’t intended to act so early.

But he never thought that, just recently, he’d get an unexpected windfall from that mysterious source.

Rumor had it that the rebel leader’s daughter had ended up on Alplía Prime, and the informant even knew exactly when the rebel leader would come to retrieve her.

After posting a stakeout, Krish was shocked and delighted to find out that the rebel leader’s daughter was actually Layla.

So he wasted no time and immediately had Atlas and Leilani locked up in the palace.

This was the chance he’d been waiting for.

He could round them all up in one go.

That way, he’d have nothing left to worry about.

Chapter 192

At Prince Atlas’s Manor, Daniel was pacing around, his mood all over the place.

He never expected that he’d be wandering around his sworn enemy’s house like this.

But every time he thought about his precious daughter being snatched away by his rival and brought here, he just got even more depressed.

He was so mad that he wanted to tear the whole place down.

He looked at Layla, who was glued to the screen, and blurted out, “Layla, this place isn’t safe at all. If Prince Krish is really making a move against Prince Atlas, this place could be their next target.”

Layla shook her head. “Not right now. Prince Atlas is the commander-in-chief of the military. If Prince Krish tried to blow up Prince Atlas’s Manor, Colonel Roger and his team would never stand for it.”

Daniel pleaded earnestly, “Layla, what if Prince Atlas is involved in all this? Staying here is basically putting yourself in serious danger.”

Layla looked completely unfazed. “You’re the one at risk, not me. If he really wanted to hurt me, he would’ve done it back when I first told him who I really am.”

Daniel tried to persuade again, “Layla…”

“Quit bugging me.” Layla stared at the screen as the Sullivan estate popped up.

She knew every inch of that place. She’d spent ten years living there.

Suddenly, she noticed Nolan stepping out the front door, with Xanthe trailing right behind him.

Out of all the footage from the past few days, this was the only part that seemed suspicious.

Suddenly, it hit Layla like a ton of bricks. Everything finally made sense.

“I get it now,” Layla said.

Just as Daniel reached the door to Atlas’s study, he looked up and asked, “What is it?”.

Layla replied, “Dad, someone on your side’s been leaking info. Your plan to come here for me got exposed. And things aren’t looking good on my end either. Our hideout at Wastelands-9 Orphan Core’s been compromised.”

Layla had Olivia treat Nolan, and Xanthe tailed him, so that was how she ended up finding out about Wastelands-9 Orphan Core.

Krish got wind of this and ordered a raid on Wastelands-9 Orphan Core.

He didn’t care one bit if the kids there were innocent. When the time came to point fingers, he’d just call them all rebels.

And of course, Layla, who was about to marry Atlas, would get slapped with the rebel label too.

Daniel wasn’t stupid. As soon as everything clicked, his face fell, looking downright sick.

“No way. Only my closest people knew about this. None of them would ever stab me in the back,” Daniel muttered, still in denial.

“Dad, are you aware there’s another group of rebels? They can actually implant a device inside shifters to control them from the inside,” Layla explained, her tone serious.

Chapter 192

Daniel’s face went pale, and he immediately started trying to get in touch with his people.

Layla’s mind was spinning. If Krish was really behind this, and he’d been jealous of Atlas this whole time, then he might just strike while the iron’s hot and go for the kill.

Layla fired off a bunch of texts to Roger, Andrew, and the rest, letting them know Atlas was in trouble and telling them to watch their backs.

Time was running out, so Layla couldn’t explain everything. Maybe Krish wouldn’t actually go after Atlas, but she couldn’t take that risk.

Roger and the others were still a bit confused, but they didn’t hesitate. They went to look for Atlas right away.

Andrew texted back: [Is Grandma and the others okay?]

Layla: [They’re fine. They’re with the people from Wastelands-9 Orphan Core and have already left Alpha Prime.]

Andrew: [Good to hear. I just got word from inside. They’re saying Wastelands-9 Orphan Core is a rebel hideout. Layla, you need to get out of there ASAP.]
