The Lightning Wolf Chronicles Novel

Chapter 198: Let Us Help You ༥ ༣ 73% Evelyn's POV We had to get to Elliot first, no matter what. The best shot would be during patr- away from prying eyes. Cyrus would handle surveillance, Freya and the others would back me up. I just hoped Acacia wouldn't try to ship Freya off some here. That woman was doing everything possible to keep Elliot away from her, pushing him toward her little gang instead. I couldn't wrap my head around someone willing to destroy everything just for some stupid title.

Milo said his dad could adjust the patrol schedule, but we'd have to wait for the Weekend rotation to make it look normal. Four days. Four whole days before I could save my brother.? It felt like the longest wait of my life. While we planned the boys' birthday party as cover, Freya and I used the time to think through every detail. Even if the party never happened, at least having something to focus on kept us from going crazy. There was no backup plan this time - this method had to work. Sunday finally rolled around. The new patrol schedule had gone out last night and started immediately.

Elliot and Orion were grouped together, just like we'd hoped. Freya and I double-checked our gear. Something told me Elliot wouldn't be as easy as Milo and Orion had been. He'd always put the pack first, everything else second. Since we were kids, he'd been taught that the Alpha was always righ never to be questioned. That loyalty was great until it became blind faith. We reached the ambush point early, masking our scents carefully. In the darkness, distant footsteps approached - Orion and Elliot on patrol. My heart hammered against my ribs, palms slick with sweat.

When they got closer, Elliot suddenly stopped. His head snapped toward our hiding spot in the bushes. Shit! I'd forgotten about that weird connection between him and Freya. Even without a Sentinel mark, they seemed to sense each other somehow.? I shot Orion orders through the mind link. Next second, Freya and I burst from the bushes. Orion immediately moved behind Elliot, trying to pin his arms. But Elliot's reaction was lightning-fast, his strength shocking - he broke free and lunged straight at Freya. They hit the ground rolling, Elliot pinning her down.

From where I stood, their smuggle looked more like some twisted foreplay than actual fighting. Finally Elliot had her pinned, hands around her throat, but I could see he wasn't really applying pressure. Freya looked up at him, eyes calm and almost teasing, like she was saying: That's all you got? 'Let us help you,' she said softly, gently gripping his hands. Those words seemed to flip a switch. Confusion flashed across Elliot's eyes and froze completely. Freya rolled away fast. Orion came forward again, this time successfully restraining him.

Elliot still fought, but that explosive strength was gone. I took a deep breath and started chanting. The ancient words flowed out, and mac immediately thickened the air. Elliot started writhing in pain, his body twisting in Orion's grip. His face contorted, cold sweat breaking out everywhere. I could feel his agony that soul- deep tearing sensation but I couldn't stop. This was to save him. When I spoke the final word, Elliot let out a bone-deep roar. Then his body went mp, collapsing in Orion's arms. Orion carefully lowered him to the ground.

I rushed forward, pressing the burning hot protective charm into Elliot's palm. The moment it touched his skin, gentle light wrapped around his entire body. 1/3 10:11 Mon, Jan 12 D Chapter 198: Let Us Help You Elliot's eyes snapped open. He shot upright, gasping like he'd just been pulled from drowning. 73% Freya immediately moved forward, pulling him into her arms. Elliot buried his face in her neck, his body still trembling. We all waited quietly, giving him time to come back to himself.

'Finally decided to rejoin us, Beta, Freya whispered in his ear, teasing but worrie Elliot slowly lifted his head, looking at the charm in his hand, then at us. His eye gradually cleared. 'Fuck, I can actually talk again." His voice was raw. "But now I'm wondering how the hell are we gonna save Magnus and Lucian? It took all three of you just to handle me." "We'll have to work together," I said. "And I think we need to keep them together can't separate them. They can feel each other's pain, so if we don't do it at the same time, it might not work.

If their reactions are like yours or worse, we absolutely cannot let Acacia notice. But how do we pull that off? You nearly tore us apart just now." "Because those were fresh orders, Elliot explained, anger edging his voice. "We were supposed to keep away from you. You guys were marked for arrest and containment." "New orders after I broke free? Why didn't I know about this?" Orion looked shocked. "Because you're not under their control - they don't give a shit about you." Elliot Holled his eyes.

"Honestly, if whoever's behind this had half a brain, after what you pulled, they might start paying attention." We kept discussing rescue plans, but time was running short. Only two weeks until their party. Elliot walked over and gave me a bear hug that nearly cracked my ribs, but I didn't care. It felt incredible. "We'll figure it out, Evie," he said in my ear. "As long as you keep fighting and never give up. That's the only way we survive this." After saying goodbye, we finished the patrol.

I tried reaching Taric and Conrad but got radio silence, though I could sense they received my messages they just couldn't respond. I didn't think they were deliberately ignoring me, but who knew? I hated this helpless feeling of being cut off from everything. It was like being trapped on an island. Our Sentinel mind links should work across any distance - this was all wrong. When we got back to the training ground, several warriors were already waiting.could feel tension in the air not fear exactly, but this mix of anticipation and unease.

Sophia slowly walked over, studying mine and Freya's faces. 'So it worked, right?' She grinned. "You two look like you went ten rounds." "You're ridiculous,' Freya laughed back. But yeah, you're not wrong. I just want crash now. Let me know if you think of anything." We all nodded, watching her leave. I noticed Freya's steps were much lighter. Maybe with Elliot finally free, some weight had lifted from her heart. Just then, Delta Griffin appeared at the training ground entrance. He walked for rd slowly, raising both hands to signal for quiet.
