The woman on the other side became quiet.
Victoria went nearer to the wall. “I am Victoria. Who is it?”
“Victoria?” The woman sounded confused and scared. “I-I am Ella…..”
Victoria froze in her place. After a few moments she snapped out of her shock. “How can we break the door?” she asked, gulping thickly. “I can free you. River has sent me.”
“Oh!” Ella sounded relieved. “Have you got the keys?”
“No, but I have got something that will break the door.”
Ella became quiet. After a few seconds, she said, “Come to the right side of the wall and press it hard.”
Victoria did, as asked. She pressed the wall hard and it clicked open revealing a heavy wooden door with a small slit in the center. She dug inside the satchel to find the small dynamite strip. Peeling off the plastic, she attached the dynamite strip to the door. “I will be exploding this door,” she said to Ella. “So move back.” She heard footsteps shuffling away.
“I have moved back.”
“Good.” Victoria lit the tail of the dynamite and hurried back. The strip caught fire and it blasted lightly, ripping just a small portion of wood. Victoria came back and inserted her hand inside. She pushed the handle and opened the door.
Inside, in the dim light of a small room, she saw a frail woman with silvery ****hair, wearing a dark blue gown that hung to her ankles. Victoria smiled. “Ella, how are you?”
Ella looked at her with a frown, her eyes filled with fear.
Victoria closed the gap between them. “Alpha Maxim wanted me to free you. Now run!”
Ella’s ***dropped to the floor. “How do you know my brother?”
Victoria watched Ella as she slowly raked her gaze over her. Her eyebrows shot to the roof when she came to know that Ella was Alpha Maxim’s sister.
Ella’s gaze went to Victoria’s mark on her neck and she leaned over to sniff her “You are related to Maxim?” she asked. “I can smell-“
“I am his son’s mate!” Victoria blurted. She couldn’t believe that Ella was Alpha Maxim’s mission. How did she end up here? Was she also given as a bride to the previous Lycan King or was she just captured?
There were a thousand other questions in her mind, but she dared not ask them. This mission was more important than all those questions
“Oh!” Ella’s lips covered in a soft smile. “How come you are here in the Dark Moon pack?”
Victoria really wanted to speed things up because she wasn’t sure if any of the guards were alerted or not. “You need to run away from here!” she rasped. “Pick up whatever you want to from here and run.”
Those were the instructions from Alpha Maxim. To make his sister run away from here. She didn’t want to think of all the demons that surrounded the Veil. “You don’t have much time!” Nervously, she glanced at her watch. It was already 2AM.
“Oh yes!” Ella said and looked around her room. “It is very cold…” she remarked and walked to her little bed from where she picked up her shawl and a sweater. “I don’t think I can shift into my wolf. I feel so… weak.”
Victoria was getting impatient. “I know. That is why you have to take advantage of the night and run as fast as possible from here.”
Ella nodded. She grabbed her things. “I am ready to leave,” she said.
Victoria came out of the room. She checked the portico all around and looked down to see signs of guards. There was no one. She motioned Ella to come out. Once she was out, she took out a spray from her satchel and sprayed it all over the room to hide her smell.
Together they hurried down the stairs of the tower.
When they were down and Ella was about to leave, she said, “Do you know River?”
Victoria pursed her lips and nodded. “I know her. Now hurry up!”
Ella’s eyes widened for a second, but then she decided not to ask further. Time was precious. She hurried towards the forest surrounding the castle and then disappeared. It was as if she knew where to go and which side of the periphery to head to.
As soon as Victoria saw Ella entering the forest, she rushed back to her room in the castle. Hector was still sleeping. Hurriedly, she took a bath. After drying herself, she applied a lot of lotion that smelled of mint. Later, she slipped next to Hector and curled her arm around him. Hector stirred a little but he didn’t wake up.
Next morning, Victoria woke up early at 5AM. She poked Hector. “Wake up!” she hissed. “We don’t have time. We have to leave!”
Hector yawned and stretched his limbs. He opened his eyes and saw Victoria in front of him. She was crouched and staring at him. His heart plummeted when he remembered how River rejected him. He should be the one rejecting her. How dare she reject him? That bloody omega! He was going to teach her a lesson. He wouldn’t accept her rejection and let her suffer like this and go back to his pack.
“We have to hurry up, Hector!” Victoria said with a sigh of relief, seeing him out of danger. “Our mission is complete!”
Hector’s eyes flew wide open. “Really?”
She nodded with a grin. “Yes. And now we need to get out of here quickly. I have asked Alpha Hunter to prepare the helicopter for us.” –
Hector grabbed her face and brought her down to kiss her. “You are the one who deserves to be my mate!” Now he was going to leave so early and River wouldn’t have a chance to meet him, which meant that he wouldn’t be accepting the omega’s rejection any sooner.
