The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate (Jason and Laila) by Caroline Above Story novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

But eventually, Riley came to where I was.

“What happened?” she asked, panicked. Her frantic gaze took in the state of me. “They told me Vanessa is in the ER? Is that her blood? Oh, Gods, I knew she shouldn’t have went!”

Riley’s words shook me from my trance, and I focused on her. “You know where she was?”

I couldn’t help Vanessa as she was right now, but I could do something about where she had been. Gods have mercy on whoever had done this to her, because I wouldn’t.

Riley quickly filled me in on what she knew, about Ava being transferred without Vanessa’s consent to some specialist, and about how they discovered it was the hospital president himself who had approved the transfer, under the advisement of Vanessa’s suspicious Aunt Adelaide.

Growling, I started forward. I had been to this hospital enough that I knew exactly where the hospital president’s office was. I had even met him a few times.

Riley followed along behind me.

I pushed out of the stairwell and stormed to the president’s office. He was sitting behind his desk as I burst inside.

“Alpha Jason…? What is the meaning of –?”

In large threatening strides, I made my way to him, grabbed him by the collar, yanked him from his chair, and slammed him against the wall.

“Where did you send Ava Harper?” I growled in his face.

He paled but shook his head. “I don’t know anything about this, Alpha, really, I –”

I roared, cutting him off. I pulled him back from the wall just to shove him into it again. It took all of my restraint not to actually hurt him.

“Do not lie to me,” I snapped. “You will lose the hospital and likely your freedom for what you’ve done here today. But I have yet to decide if I will kill you outright. If you want to live beyond the next five minutes, you will tell me what you know. Where is Ava?”

The man’s bottom lip trembled, and I knew I had won.

Five minutes later, I left the president to clear out his desk.

“Stay here,” I told Riley. “If Vanessa wakes up before I’m back, she will need you.”

Riley nodded without argument. “You are going after Ava?”

“I will bring her back,” I said with full confidence. No one was going to stop me.

Anyone who tried would meet their end.

“Don’t hold back,” Riley said.

I nodded, having no intention of doing so.

Then, with the information I had gained from the hospital president, I ran out the door and into the storm. I shifted, allowing the rain to wash away some of the blood from my wounded mate. Much of it would linger, a reminder. Not just for me, but for the people who had done this.

Let them see. Let them know why they were being revenged upon.

When I arrived at the clinic, the rain was still pouring down. A car was idling out front, the engine on. Just as I stepped into the

Choptar e

parking lot, Adelaide pushed open the front door. She was dragging someone behind her, a child. Ava.

Ava was struggling. “I want my Mom! You said she would be here, but she’s not?”

“Insolent child,” Adelaide snapped. “That woman raised you to be an insolent little whelp. It’s time you had some true parenting. Some discipline.”

“I’m not going with you! I want my mom!”

“She’s not here. Come with me and

“Let me go!”
