Lucy’s POV
There was only a bed in the empty room and nothing else. I was lying on the bed, unable to move. But my mind was incomparably awake. I knew Richard must have injected muscle relaxants into my body. What a bastard! He wouldn’t even give me a quick death.
I felt so hopeless. The only thing I could move all over my body was my eyeballs.
There was no one around. And it was so quiet that I could hear a pin drop.
But I was pretty sure that there was someone else in this manner. It could even be a monster.
Because just ten minutes ago, the guards who were supposed to be guarding me retreated in a hurry. I guessed that Rufus had already entered the manor, and it was only a matter of time before he found me.
Richard said Rufus would tear me apart. And I knew he wasn’t lying.
Richard always meant what he said. Rufus must have turned into a terrible monster after the drug took effect on him.
Thinking of this made me break out in a cold sweat. I tried to move my fingers, but I didn’t have any strength.
Richard had also put moon grass all over me on my bed. This was something all the werewolves liked. Some of them could even go crazy for moon grass, let alone the berserk Rufus.
I was like a dish now, waiting to be ripped apart.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. This feeling of waiting for death was too unbearable. Tears flowed from my eyes involuntarily. I thought of Kyle. If I had met him sooner, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.
I even regretted being tough on Richard. I knew that he was a soft-hearted person. He couldn’t be cowed by force, but he could be persuaded by reason. If I had said a few more sweet words at that time, maybe I didn’t have to die. Maybe I was still a glorious lady now.
And my father? I didn’t expect him to be so cruel to me. He should have had affection for a pet he raised for many years, let alone his own daughter. But in his heart, I was not even as good as a pet.
I remembered the time when I was still in our pack. Although I had to bear a lot of pressure, at least I could still be alive. I didn’t know what kind of daughter my father would give to Richard next. She might also be a poor pawn like me.
What hurt me the most was the poor baby in my belly. Before he could even see this world, he would be cruelly killed.
I wanted to give birth to him and pamper him. But it was too late.
Thinking of these things made the hatred in my heart grow bigger and bigger.
If I still had a chance to survive, I must let all those who betrayed me die.
Tears welled up in my eyes and streamed down my face profusely. I only gradually calmed down after I vented all my resentments and grievances.
Fortunately, Susan was with me.
Since she hooked up with Richard’s confidant, she became Richard’s private doctor.
Richard’s man took Susan to me today to inject the muscle relaxant into my body. When the man was not paying attention, she stuffed something into my mouth. It was a colorless and tasteless pill, and it didn’t seem to dissolve easily. Now, it was sitting perfectly under the base of my tongue.
I guessed it could remove the effect of the muscle relaxant in my body. But I couldn’t even move my tongue now, so I couldn’t eat it at all.
The only thing I could do now was prayed that the effect of the muscle relaxant immediately wore off, and Rufus didn’t find me sooner.
At this time, I heard a loud noise coming from the next room.
I felt like my heart rose to my throat at once. Sweat trickled down my forehead. How could Rufus find me so soon? I wasn’t ready to die yet.
The next thing I heard was the sound of glasses being smashed.
I was so scared that my scalp tingled. And I felt like the hair all over my body stood up. I wanted to escape, but I couldn’t even move. The monster was coming, and I was about to die.
Lucy’s POV
Noises of smashing seemed to come from next door, growing louder and louder as whatever it was destroyed everything in its path. This wall, thick as it may have been, would just collapse like paper.
I couldn’t help but break down, my body trembled all over. I was going to die. I was really about to die. But I couldn’t just wait for my death like this.
I tried to move my tongue even as I cried, but nothing worked. I didn’t have any strength to exert.
The noises became louder by the second as low and intimidating howls resounded throughout the whole building. The chandelier that was hanging from the ceiling began to shake violently and dust particles fell through the creaks that formed.
I could feel that the voice was close, because my ears were now ringing for it. My mind went blank. Facing death in the face inspired an inexplicable strength in my body. I closed my eyes and tried to summon it. Although my fingers struggled to grasp the sheet, I was able to finally bite the thing in my mouth.
My teeth chomped on the outer wall of the pill and immediately a bitter taste filled my mouth. It only took a few seconds for me to feel the effects of the medicine. My strength began to come back.
I felt that I couldn’t wait any more until all of my strength came back. So, I tried to sit up.
Once I got on my feet, I ran to the window, thinking I could jump out. But then I realized I was on the sixth floor. If I jumped down from here, the baby might not be able to survive. But if I didn’t jump down, I would surely die. Hesitant, I bit my lip.
All of the sudden, the noises next door stopped. The whole building was in deathly silence again.
I hurried to the door. Just when I was about to open it, my knees buckled. I staggered and fell to the ground. The fear had now caused me to lose all the courage I had left. I didn’t want to go out.
I didn’t even want to think about what could be waiting for me outside. My mind was in a mess. I loathed myself at this moment for being so helpless. I brought my hand up to my mouth and sobbed again.
This was terrible. Who would come to save me?
I then heard footsteps and instantly stopped my crying, holding my breath as I locked the door as quietly as I could.
Slow but intimidating, the footsteps sounded like a predator walking carefully around its prey.
It got closer and closer. I covered my mouth, not daring to make a sound. In my heart, I kept praying that Rufus would just pass me by.
The footsteps passed by my door, and then I heard it move further away.
Pleasantly surprised, I quietly leaned against the door and listened for any other sounds. It was already quiet outside. Did Rufus really leave? However, a part of me felt uneasy with how quiet it was.
I had a sudden urge to open the door and bolt out of the building, but then I hesitated. What if Rufus heard me and came back?
But I would never know unless I tried. It was a fifty-fifty chance. How unlucky must I be to run into Rufus outside, right?
