Goodbye, My Mate

Chapter 41

Clara's POV

"Oh, fuck! Are you sure? Take a good look at her!" Mick pointed at the girl in the trunk.

"I don't need to take a good look at her! She's not Leah!" I yelled at him.

Mick looked around and stared at the girl, then, he looked at me and said hopelessly, "Can't we just... Fuck her instead? I mean, she's got nice boobs."

"Ahhhhh! Mick! I'm fucking done with you! You're fucking useless!" I shouted at Mick.

Mick looked indignant and said, "Hey! I made a lot of effort to get her out of the club! And I did it for you! I made a mistake. So what?! Shit happens! We just have to go with the flow."

"I don't fucking go with the flow! Only fucking losers go with the flow! I want that bitch Leah and she's not here! You deal with the shit because I've had it enough! If you can't fucking get that bitch Leah, I'll get her myself!" I pushed Mick away and walked off.

Before I got out of the warehouse, I heard the sound of helicopters and cars. I looked out and saw an army waiting outside.

Soldiers wearing black uniforms, arms to their teeth, were holding guns, pointing at me.

I panicked and stepped back, tripped over something, and fell to the ground.

The propeller of the helicopter swirled the air, stirring the dirt up from the ground. Some sand got into my eyes and it really hurt.

Mick let me down by bringing me the wrong bitch. Now I have dirt in my eyes and that bitch Leah is probably laughing at me.

Nothing in my life goes according to my plan. And now there are fucking soldiers pointing guns at me.

So, I lay on my back on the ground and started to wail.

Leah's POV

"Target located. Target secured. Target saved." The cracking voice from the radio made me so relieved.

I tried to jump out of the helicopter before it actually landed, but Lucian grabbed me in his arms.

My brother never expressed his feelings on his face. But today, I could tell that he was cross.

He obviously didn't like the fact that he was pulled out of a meeting because his sister got into trouble in a nightclub.

I didn't know anything else for sure, but I knew I would be grounded for at least an entire week.

The helicopter landed and I saw Clara rolling in the dirt on the ground, bashing her hands and feet like a three-year-old throwing a tantrum.

"Do we need put her down, Your Highness?" Troy asked my brother.

My brother said, "Lock her up and send her to Bellevue Asylum. Her parents are there, so I'm sure they will have a good family reunion."

"A whole family of lunatics. Talking about having troubles with the in-laws, huh?" Troy mumbled and realized that my brother was staring at him, looking vexed.

Troy immediately cleared his voice and said, "Bad timing for in-law jokes. I get it." Then, he turned to his soldiers as he was approaching Clara, "Bring me a taser, gentlemen, and a muzzle if anyone got one by any chance."

I ignored Clara and rushed directly into the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, there was a mess. I was horrified when I saw oversized dildos rolling around on the floor with blood and hair scattering everywhere.

What have they done to Laura?! I was completely petrified.

Then, I saw a group of soldiers slowly taking Laura out of the trunk of a car.

She was horrified, trembling with tape wrapping all over her body.

I rushed to her, trying to peel the tapes off her face.

As soon as my fingers touched her, she fought violently, trying to kick me away.

At that time, a pair of powerful hands took Laura up from the soldiers.

I looked up and saw my brother holding Laura in his arms.

All the soldiers bowed to my brother immediately and greeted, "Your Highness!"

"At you were," my brother said briefly. Then, he lowered his head and held Leah tightly in his arms.

"Miss Parrish, we're here. Everything's going to be alright."

Recognizing my brother's voice, Laura immediately stopped struggling.

My brother sat on the hood of the car, put Laura on his lap, and carefully peeled off the tape on her face.

The sticking tape made her skin red, but Laura remained calm. She refused to give any sound despite the pain. I knew she did it because she didn't want my brother to worry about her.

She was so brave and it made my blood boil to think someone would ever want to hurt someone so lovely and sweet.

My best friend was in pain and it was all because of me.

I clenched my fists.

As soon as the last piece of tape was lifted from her face, Laura opened her eyes.

I could tell that she was trying so hard not to cry out. But when she met my brother's eyes, she couldn't hold it anymore. She buried her face against my brother's chest and started to cry out loud like a child.

My brother removed his coat and wrapped Laura in his arms. Then, he carried her up and walked out of the warehouse without saying any words.

On his way out, some soldiers pushed a young man in front of my brother. He was handcuffed and looked terrified.

"We found him trying to sneak out of the warehouse from the kennel door in the back." The soldiers reported.

As soon as the young man saw my brother, he kneeled on the ground and pleaded in tears, "Alpha Lucian... Your Highness... I'm so sorry... I didn't know... I had nothing to do with this..."

My brother looked down at him. And for the first time in my life, I saw the angry wild beast in his eyes.

Nobody had ever seen my brother's wolf, and he seldom let his wolf take control of him. But on that day, I could tell it was a really close one.

Let's just say, I wouldn't be surprised to see if he ripped off his shirt, shifted into a wolf, and tore the young man into pieces.
