115-Men In Black.
“What?” Helel stared into my face in silence for a minute, making me wonder what he was thinking. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“She is a weredragon!” I said again, with no emotions and expressions on my face as well. The two of us just stood still like a mountain, waiting for the other to add. Since he was too stunned to speak, I decided to be the first to add something.
“She is a mistress of doomsday!” I added, and after a minute of silence, Helel burst into laughter.
I stretched my lips from the corners to form a stern, straight lip and watched him laugh his heart out for almost two minutes. I should have stayed silent.
“Alright!” he murmured through laughs, fisting a little too gently on his chest to calm down before he talks to me again.
“You used to come and annoy me all the time, so when you didn’t this time, you concerned me. I thought you had re- ally changed.” He shook his head with a mild smile across his lips.
I looked exhausted.
“It’s okay. You don’t need to feel threatened by her any- more.” Helel straightened his posture and spoke sneakily him.
“Really? Why is that?” I just felt this urge to not interrupt
“Because I’m not interested in Gwen anymore,” he fin- ished, smiling as he watched my face.
I didn’t know if he was waiting for a compliment for his accomplishments or a pat on the back.
“Because she has gone official with Akin? Grapes are sour, aren’t they?” I let out a little laugh in sarcasm, but I only stopped because he looked confused.
“They are dating?” He frowned in bewilderment. So he truly didn’t know?
“So you are ove–,” I wanted to tease him some more, but my phone beeped, and my entire attention diverted from Helel to Colt.
I think Helel noticed it because he was taller than me and, upon hunching down, he could take a clear look at my phone’s screen.
Colt: Sorry for missing your calls.
I saw another message pop up, but I didn’t read it in front of Helel.
“That’s him?” Helel asked, staring at me as I raised my head to step away from him.
“He ignored you for hours and responded with a dry text message that didn’t even explain where he had been. Don’t tell me you are considering speaking to him. He looked so flustered when he waited for my reaction.
“Of course not,” I answered him, shoving the phone again in my pocket and clearing my throat to instantly add, “About Reign! She needs your help.” I wasn’t sure what my priority was at the moment.
I badly wanted to read Colt’s new text, and for that to happen, I wanted Helel gone.
“Okay! Let’s go see what she needs help with,” Helel said and started walking ahead of me. His mood has changed pretty much. He wasn’t panting and looking all angry any- more, either.
I followed him to the door and then slowed down when he walked into the mansion. I made sure I was left far behind for him to notice. That’s when I made my way to the garden again, and, while doing so, I read Colt’s next message.
Colt: Some people have been chasing me since last night.
My heart skipped a beat as I read his text. Instead of mes- saging him back, I dialed his number to learn more about him.
“Where are you?” I asked him the minute he picked up my call. He seemed to be running the way he was, panting and wheezing.
“I a—-m in th–e woods. Th—-ey are back,” he stam- mered through heavy breaths, making me even more concerned.
“Hang in there, I’m coming,” I said without giving it much thought.
The good thing about the night was that I haven’t taken the pill yet. It all came down to me choosing between hiding my scent by taking the pill or letting my wolf take over to save a friend.
‘Ace! Tell me if I can trust you. I asked as I made my way to the exit. I have reduced it to one pill only. The afternoon pill was long gone from my list of options.
‘You have my word,’ she answered a bit too confidently. I was still afraid of that person coming for me, but not as much as I was scared for Colt.
The moment I was out of the mansion, Ace started sprint- ing. I couldn’t believe my legs were moving that fast. That feeling of being lighter than air and bolting with great speed topped all the feelings of safety measures that I had to take to save myself.
Soon we were in the woods. I was still surprised at how fast she was. For being an omega, she was surely an Ace.
‘I can smell him around,’ she said before I could even question her. Her aura was really strong, too. Even I was feel- ing her as if she were her own identity.
‘Then let’s follow his scent,’ I said, and she made me follow a trail.
The woods were eerily silent. It’s out of the ordinary for this time of night.
“Colt!” I called for him, and soon a hand grabbed me from the bushes and pulled me behind in haste. Before I could protest, I saw Colt shush me as two men in black appeared on the trail.
“I saw a girl walking down the trail, Boss!” One man spoke on the phone, making me wonder who he was talking to.
“I’m sure she came here for him. The guy for sure is a weredragon. The moment I capture him; I’ll bring him over to you.” The man hung up and looked around in search of us.
“Got you!” That’s when we heard a heavy voice from be- hind us. We have been so occupied by the man on the call that we didn’t notice the other one appearing behind us.
He suddenly injected something into Colt’s neck while the other guy ran over to grab me.
“Let me go!” I shouted as he dragged me out from behind the bushes.
“What to do with her?” the man asked. I saw Colt looking all dizzy and trippy.
“Let’s take her along,” the man holding Colt said.
