Chapter 55 : ICU Awakening and the Storm Outside - 1 Chapter 55 : ICU Awakening and the Storm Outside ( Frank's POV ) +8 Points > " At the detention center , Vanessa Reed claimed she was pregnant with an Alpha's child . On the way to Harbor City Memorial Hospital for examination , a black SUV recklessly rammed into the detention center's vehicle , violently forcing it off the road . " My voice remained steady despite the gravity of what I was reporting to Alpha William .

Years of service had taught me to maintain composure even in crisis . " Several muscular men , all carrying weapons , emerged from the SUV . They took Vanessa away . The officers escorting her were severely injured , and they couldn't pursue immediately . " William's face darkened with each word , his jaw clenching tighter . " By the time the territory patrol arrived , it was too late . Vanessa had been snatched away right under the officers ' noses .

" ( William's POV) The news hit me like a physical blow . My hands clenched into fists as I processed Frank's words . " How is this possible ? " I demanded , incredulous that a prisoner under official custody could be abducted so blatantly . " Were our people asleep? " Frank's expression remained professionally neutral . " The attack was coordinated and executed with military precision , sir . These weren't amateurs . " Katherine approached , startled by the commotion . " What happened ?

" she asked , her eyes darting between Frank and me . " It's Vanessa , " I replied , my voice heavy with frustration and worry . Katherine's face paled instantly . " Wasn't she already in custody ? How could she be taken away again ? " My brow furrowed deeply as I pieced things together . The fact that those who O 1/4 < Chapter 55 ICU Awakenin +8 Points rescued her were visibly well - trained and armed convinced me Vanessa must have found powerful backing outside our territory .

" Mother was right , " I muttered , recalling Eleanor's warning that Vanessa's return was definitely not as straightforward as we believed . " Vanessa has someone formidable behind her , and we must uncover who this is , and fast . " ( William's POV ) Katherine's expression darkened sharply , the truth dawning on her as her eyes flashed with anger . " Isn't it your illegitimate son , Frederick Warner , who helped her come back from abroad ? Why bother investigating ?

Send people to America now and drag that man back ! " The words dripped with scorn , reopening old wounds I'd hoped had scarred over decades ago . My face turned ashen , anger and helplessness mingling inside me . " Can you stop calling him that ? I was wrong back then , but Frederick is still my blood . Stop insulting him . " Katherine sneered coldly . " Ha ! A child born from cheating during our early years- what else should I call him ?

Since you betrayed our relationship , why can't I speak the truth ? " The bitterness in her voice cut through me . Our long - buried resentment erupted amid the crisis , decades of pain surfacing at the worst possible moment . ( William's POV ) " Enough ! " I snapped , aware that Frank was still standing uncomfortably nearby , witnessing our marital discord . My face grew grim as I lowered my voice . " Our influence doesn't extend into America .

Even if it did , Frederick has built up his own power there , operating both sides of the law . Confronting him head - on would be suicide for our people . " The implication was clear : Frederick Warner had grown into a dangerous force , possibly the shadowy mastermind helping Vanessa . Our family crisis now extended far beyond territory boundaries .

||| r < Chapter 55 ICU Awakenin +8 Points > An ominous storm loomed as the kidnapped Vanessa vanished into the shadows , protected by ruthless men and weapons . ( Connor's POV ) I was drowning in darkness , then floating , then drowning again . Chaotic dreams pulled me under repeatedly - Vanessa's face twisted with hatred , Grace's terrified eyes , Olivia's tears as the silver blade flashed . The pain in my side anchored me to reality even as my consciousness drifted .

Sometimes I heard voices - my mother's tearful pleas , my father's gruff commands , and softer , sweeter tones that could only belong to Livvy . When I finally broke through the surface of awareness , bright sunlight spilled across my face . The sharp scent of antiseptics filled my nostrils , pulling me fully into wakefulness . I blinked against the glare , trying to raise my hand to shade my eyes . A sharp pain where needles pricked my skin made me wince .

At that very moment , Olivia appeared at the doorway , carrying a thermal lunch container . Her amber eyes bloomed with gentle relief when she saw me . " You're awake , " she said softly . She quickened her steps , placing the container on the bedside table . Her tone was soft and caring as she continued , " I just went to make you some healing broth . You woke up just in time for lunch . " ( Connor's POV ) I turned my gaze to the container , surprise flickering through me . " You cooked ?

" Olivia blushed slightly , the color making her amber eyes seem even brighter . " Yes . I made it myself with herbs . It's my first time preparing this particular healing broth , so … would you like to try ? " Bathed in sunlight , I felt my usual cold demeanor melt away completely . My lips lifted into a faint , tender smile . Comments Vote 425 O
