Chapter 127

BEATRICE

The doctor cocked her head to one side, as if the question hadn’t made sense. “A second chance? It’s self explanatory, isn’t it?

Beatrice huffed a little. How was she suppose to explain what she was asking when ever he wasn’t sure what she was asking? Carving the mount

would tip the doctor off that she’d overheard the Alphass talking about it and that would be counterproductive

It was obvious Hendricks wasn’t about to admit to whatever he’d done, and if he learned Beatrice was asking about whatever it meant to g

chance… The last thing she wanted was for him to do something drastic – like successfully kill her – Because some of the commensation the 4

made it sound like he’d been hoping she wouldn’t survive.

What if… “If something ever happened to Hendricks,” Beatrice began, speaking slowly, her mind racing ahead as she chose her words with the “would I get a second chance?” If Hendricks thought her death would give him this ‘second chance then the reverse should be true De po she though

“I’m honestly not sure,” Doctor Silverthorn replied after a moment. “You’re human, so the fact you have a fated mate at all is unusual whether sight get a second chance mate is anyone’s guess, especially when even us wolves aren’t guaranteed one.”

Holy. Shit.

Hendricks was banking on getting a second chance mate if she bit the dust during one of his dalliances? Beatrice wasn’t sure how to set the tar seen as expendable was… not nice, to say the least.

Why had the wolves even bothered dealing with her at all, if they could’ve just killed her so their precious Alphass would get a second chance of his own kind? What was the point of putting her through all this? Putting everyone through all this?

Not that she was complaining they hadn’t just killed her from the get go – far from it – but they really chose to make things hard for thewees really bothered Beatrice that Hendricks would rather she die than deal with a/rejection.

What the hell was that about? How was he so against rejection but murdering his fated mate was fine? Sure, rejection sucked, but that wa

too far.

“Huh,” Beatrice finally managed to say, “I never knew that. I thought it was a one time thing.”

“It’s not guaranteed,” the doctor replied. “Sometimes it’ll be years, even decades, before a woh finds out they have a sessual

thumb is not to expect one.”

Time to change the subject. Talking about why someone wanted her dead wasn’t going to help the situation and run

“So, what’s the deal with me?,” asked Beatrice. “Am I gonna be fine?

“Oh,” Doctor Silverthorn said, “Yes, you’ll be fine. The pain you’re feeling from sore muntes mulating

Chapter 127-

Acherish laugh came from Bector Silverthorn. “I’ll be honest; you’re my first human patient If you were a coff this would be it an that sore muscles never last that long. My best guess? You’ll boufres hack in a few devs”

Well, that sounded like a jab at how low humans heated. Beatrice tried not to sigh too loudly Rottem of the fond chain that where compris belonged. Compared to wolves and vampires, humans were kind of… squishy. And by kred of, she really meant excessively

“Are you sure that’s all it is? Because I’ve never felt pain like that before”

“I’m sure of it. A single instance won’t cause lasting damage. If you were to experience it more than one, without adequate time to

that won’t happen, so you have nothing to worry about.”

Nothing to worry about? Yeah, sure, because if it happened again Beatrice probably wouldn’t survive. The wording Drror Send this th

Worst doctor ever. The bitch.

“So… are you going to tell me what happened? Should I really not worry about it happening again?”

“I’m positive it won’t happen again,” the she-wolf assured Beatrice with a nod as she completely ignored the first question. For e you for observation.”

“But you said I was going to be fine.”

“You will be but, like I said, I’m not a human doctor. I’d rather be overly cautious just in case; especially with you being Alpha Hendricas e

Beatrice stared at she-wolf for a long moment. “Uh huh.” Or the good doctor was worried Fuckface would be a bastard again and wanted to lowe close. You know, to jump in if the fragile human were to oh-so-suddenly find herself in agony again.

It’s fine. It’s fine. Beatrice kept her face expressionless so the doctor wouldn’t know she was aware of the absolute bullshit being

After a minute Beatrice looked away, letting out a sigh as she tried to lay back down. Doctor Silverthorn had to help, as using an left the human feeling like she was being stabbed by hundreds of teeny, tiny knives.

Life wasn’t going great.

At least she hadn’t needed a top up of the pain meds. If Hendricks was going to go the tout of attempted murdes. Reatres e – even if it meant dealing with some discomfort.

She needed to find a way to survive this clusterfuck. Maybe it was time to ask Tweedledick for some kind of free Beatrice still wasn’t sure what to call it, as ‘cheating’ made it sound like she cared on an emotional level, wh possible this could be use to her advantage?

RIAGHAIRE

The most annoying part of fighting vampires was their speed – they were fast. They also parked a hell of a punch, if they could land a hit anyway

Riaghaire was just as fast but also stronger and far more experienced than these wet-behind-the ears fledglings. He’d spent more than a comple centuries fighting Others – moreso wolves than any other species, but that was more a matter of preference than anything else

These fledglings had never been forced to fight for their very lives before and it showed. They were untrained, Brawling more than anything. Their speed and strength had always been to their advantage, Riaghaire assumed, to the point they’d never needed to learn how to fight, how to defend, how to think on

one’s feet.

The wolves, however, were another story. They were well trained in the art of combat and chose to side with Master Edyth, attacking him without restraint

Outnumbered to this extent, taking everyone head on would lead to defeat. Instead, Riaghaire used the environment to his benefit Anything could be a weapon if thrown or swung hard enough, including but not limited to plastic shovels and buckets and his new favourite weapon – umbrellas that doubled as

javelins.

His goal was to prevent them from going after his gréine, which meant his attacks didn’t need to cause damage, they didn’t even need to land, so long they slowed, distracted, or pushed everyone back from the escalator where she’d disappeared from view.

One of the wolves – all of them had shifted into their beast form – broke free from the chaos of flying objects and made to jump down to the second floox

Not whilst I live, thought Riaghaire as he shot after the beast, grabbing one of their hind legs as they jumped. With all the strength he could muster he vampire sent the beast flying back the way they’d come. Countless shelving units were obliterated by the beast as wares went flying.

Risking a glance to check on his gréine, Riaghaire froze. The child vampire had somehow gotten by him and caught his human.

“No,” he growled, vaulting over the railing.

Riaghaire landed with a thump, cracks like a spider’s web forming where his feet had struck the floor. Not wasting a moment, be made to grab the h for another wolf to block the way. The smell of this one wasn’t of the ones who’d come with them, meaning there were more lurking shout

They’d planned the betrayal from the very beginning.

Sneering, Riaghaire attacked, furious at the way the air was circulated in the building and how it prevented him scenting the t

The wolf attempted to put up a fight but Riaghaire had enough experience against their kind that it only took an instant to kif two There was blood everywhere now, aggravating the vampire’s banger but he pushed it down his greine was far more importans.

Except she was no longer where she’d been standing only a second ago.

Panic set in as Riaghaire shot for the escalator to the first floor and saw a wolf in human form carrying her away, the child vampire where to the sou

Should he go after the wolf with his gréine? They were obviously taking her away from the vampires, which was good but it also meant she would be returned to her mate.

Why wasn’t she fighting back?
