Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the time Michael mentioned, I should have already been taken away by the people who kidnapped me.
“Then, I smelled a stranger’s scent in the room. Your scent still lingered here, but it was weak. I asked Samuel to help me, trying to track your scent, but it was tough. They used a drug on you to make your scent difficult to detect. So we quickly changed our method and tracked down the people who kidnapped you,” Michael said.
“So, how did you find me?” I blinked.
Michael shook his head. “They also used a drug to cover their scents. We followed your smell for a while and at a place where all our scent was completely lost. At that moment, I even thought I would lose you forever. ”
“Back then, I could only investigate the surroundings according to the last location. At the same time, I ordered people to speed up the interrogation of the criminals we had just caught. I allowed them to use any means to interrogate them as long as we knew where their base was.”
Michael’s calm words made my heart tremble.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI hesitated for a moment before asking, “How is the criminal doing now?”
“He’s dead. He gave us some addresses,” Michael said calmly. “But they’re all wrong. They’re just wasting our time.”
Michael didn’t say much, but I could see from Michael’s tense face that he must have done something cruel to the criminal. I didn’t sympathize with the criminal. I only felt sorry for my mate’s anxiety then.
“Speaking of which, the person who guided us to you was you.” Michael let out a breath.
I pointed at myself in confusion.
“Yes, I am.” Michael held me in his arms and said, “When we were at our wits’ end and had no choice but to return to our starting point, I suddenly smelled your scent again. I immediately led my men in that direction and chased after you. On the way, I was afraid I would be too late because I wasted too much time in the day.”
“You’re not late at all,” I said softly.
“But, do you know what I thought the moment I saw you?” Michael laughed.
“What?”
“I was thinking, this is my princess.” There was a hint of pride in Michael’s smile. “All the terrible things that I had imagined did not happen. You stood majestically in the middle of everyone as if you were glowing.
“You’re right. You can protect yourself, but I still want to be the one who can shelter you from the wind and rain. When I look at you, I feel both touched and proud. When I hold you in my arms, I feel like I’m the luckiest person in the world.”
Michael’s words convinced me. His words always hit the softest part of my heart, making me feel that everything I did for him was worth it.
I was about to say something when Michael pressed a finger on my lips.
At that moment, I understood what he meant. I leaned against Michael’s chest and felt his heartbeat. There was no need for words between us. We could understand each other as long as we put our hearts into it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMichael handed me the documents and said, “You heard what I said to Courtney just now. We’ve captured all the people in the warehouse that day and locked them up here. The leader has already been interrogated, and there are still some minor details to wrap up. Do you want to go with me?”
I looked at the hole not far away. It was a public place where the nearby pack kept their prisoners. I had never entered it before. It had camouflaged itself outside to prevent humans and other creatures from entering by mistake.
I knew every pack would send a special team to guard this prison in turns, but I didn’t expect Michael to lock up the prisoners here. Didn’t he need to return these people to the royal Lycan pack for interrogation?
This was a small place, and one of the prisoners was a royal Lycan. I was unsure if the security here was strong enough to prevent them from escaping.
I thought for a moment before asking, “Is Joanna in there too?”
Before Michael could answer, we saw someone walking out of the hole.
Her red hair was very eye-catching. I recognized her at a glance. She was Sasha.
Sasha had her head lowered the entire time and didn’t notice us. However, I could tell from her tense body that she was furious.
I turned to look at Michael, and he shrugged, indicating that he didn’t know what was going on either. I took a step forward and coincidentally met with the path that Sasha was walking in. She looked up at me.
As expected, she looked furious. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked like she was about to lose her temper. However, she quickly saw who I was and was stunned for a moment. Then, she opened her arms and hugged me.
“Cecily! I’m so happy to see you’re fine,” she shrieked. “I rushed over as soon as I found out about this. I never thought this would happen.”
