Prince Reagan

Chapter 48

Bloody Basement

I don’t break eye contact with the demoness as she tilts her head to the side to study me. I

can’t stop the loathing I feel for her from shining forth from my eyes. I’m sure they’re even glowing now as I can feel my wolf’s anger surface tenfold.

Gina was beside her, smirking down at me with pure satisfaction. Two of my nemesis, conniving, together to see my end. I can expect this from Janet since she was a delusion b***h but not from Gina.

Sure we had our differences, but before all that happened with Reagan, we were kinda friends. I didn’t like her then, and I doubt she liked me too, but we had concealed it and acted friendly towards each other. We’ve sat down sometimes along with Lana and talked about people we despised on campus over a cup of coffee. So I’m still a bit shocked by this

revelation. And to think her father is the brain behind all this…or at least he looks like it since

they refer to him as boss.

“Janet! You’re here!” Gina voices in excitement, and I’m sure she would have jumped too and clap her hands. Guess she finally made friends with a Lycan. But her face falls crestfallen when Janet ignores her to stare back at me.

“You look fabulous down there, right where you belong, beneath me.” Janet’s voice makes

me snap my eyes from Gina back to her. She sniffs the air, then, and her eyes turn dark as she goes livid, staring back at Gina’s father.

“Why isn’t her scent masked, you fool?! What if they trace her here? Do you know how much trouble we all could be in?” Her sharp eyes glare furiously at the boss, but his face pulls into a displeased scowl at

her rudeness.

“That was a mistake on my men’s part, which will be rectified right away.” His eyes drift to one of my captors, and he hurries to pull out a can of spray before walking over to me to cover

me with the scentless spray.

“Plus, we’ll be leaving soon. The girls will be loaded now into the trucks waiting outside.” He explains, but I can see his distaste for Janet as he eyes her in disdain. He probably is just

tolerating her since she’s stronger and more powerful than him.

“Whatever. Now leave me alone with this one.” She dismisses him and his men with a

wave of her hand. He gives her one last glare before standing up. I watch him walk over to his

men and begin to order them to take the she-wolves out. I know I need to do something before it’s too late, but I don’t have a solid plan yet. I’m still at a disadvantage as I’m outnumbered.

“What are you still doing here?” I hear Janet ask Gina, who is standing behind her like a

a glum expression before she sends one last glare at me.

Janet sighs before going to sit near me where Gina’s father had once stood. “Now that we’ve gotten rid of the pests, let’s do some catching up before you go on your trip to ‘paradise.” The sarcasm is clear in her tone as her lips pull back up in a mischievous smile. But I’m once more silent, acting helpless even though I can feel my strength pumping into my blood at a fast pace. In a few more minutes, I should be back to my usual self with the pain of the wolf’s bane fading away.

“Oh, I forgot. You can’t speak.” She taunts with laughter filled in her eyes. “So I’m gonna do all the talking, I guess.” She sighs in fake sadness. “Tell me, how’s Reggie? He must have missed me a lot. Tell me, is he already bored with you considering he still hasn’t marked you?”

My eyes are scanning the room once more as she chatters her nonsense on. I notice the she-wolves are being taken one by one out of the basement. Some of them are clutching each

other, and their sobs of protest fill the room as they’re separated from one another.

“You must be wondering what I’m doing here with this bunch of low life rogues.” Janet sighs for me to stare back at her again. “Well, at first, I was tracking the rogues on my own. That’s why I suddenly disappeared. I thought if I could crack the case, Reggie would see how much more important I am to him, than you, who couldn’t even pick up a trace on them. He would see how useless you are. But then when I found their hideout…” she gestures around, “I sneaked in and was surprised to hear that they sell these she-wolves to the highest bidder on some black market. There are a lot of sickos out there ready to pay a s**t ton of money for unmated she-wolves that they could keep as their personal pets and tame to some s*x slave or something worse.”

She didn’t even sound empathetic in her words and talked like it’s a usual occurrence for

she-wolves to be sold.

as a

“Then I heard that there’s a demand in the market for something rare. A female Lycan. Fascinating, isn’t it?” I already know where she was going with this. I always knew she was a b***h, but not that she was a deranged b***h. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

She abruptly leans on her knee to stare down at me with mirth shining in her eyes.

“A good way to get rid of you without anyone ever finding you. The black market, as I said, is filled with sickos. They will break you till you crack like an egg, and they’re good at totally making someone disappear so that no one will ever find them. It’ll be like you never existed.”

“I couldn’t let this opportunity slide, so I brought up my idea to them. A female she-wolf in fully immune to wolf’s bane yet. So I had one of my friends design something strong with wolf’s bane to put you in your present state but without killing you. A full proof plan, isn’t it?” All the while, she still retains that sweet smile she always has on as if talking to a friend. But all I can

think of is how I was going to gouge her eyes out.

The number of men in the room is going down as they are taking the she-wolves out, so | might have my chance soon, but not yet. So far, I can still count about eight of them.

“It was an added bonus to see that their boss’s daughter has a dislike for you too.” She then lowe’s her voice to a whisper as she leans further down towards me. “The dumb b***h actually thought she had a chance with my Reggie.” God, I hate that name! I’m the one who’s supposed to have nicknames for him, not her. I wish I could pull her tongue out every time she says his name like that.

“I’ll deal with her much later…when the time is right, like I always deal with sluts who think that have a chance with him. But you, my dear, are an exception. I won’t end your life so quickly. I would rather see you suffer as you’re turned to a w***e who services men dozens of times a day. Lucky for me, you’re in heat and would attract a lot of attention from perverts. I

can’t wait to see you in such a foul state. I’ll make sure to keep in touch.” She cackles. “The nerve of you to actually think you can have my Reggie.”

I knew it. She really is deranged. The excitement shining in her eyes sickens me, and I have to refrain from jumping up to attack her.

“But not to worry about Reggie, I’ll take good care of him…” She hasn’t even finished when Ispit directly into her right eye. She gasps and abruptly moves back in surprise, wiping her eye and blinking rapidly.

“Are you alright?” Gina hurries over with a concerned look as she tries to assist Janet. But Janet shoves her away while glaring openly at her.

“Don’t touch me, bitch.” She snarls at Gina, who has a surprised and hurt look on her face. Poor thing doesn’t even know why Janet hates her. For the first time in a while, I see Janet’s innocent look gone, replaced by that of a nasty, vicious snake.

“And as for you…” She snaps her scornful eyes back to me that promise nothing but pain. She then stares at a man not too far away. “Inject her with more wolf’s bane. And this time, make it more than two.” She orders and my eyes widen as I go rigid in fear.

If I’m injected once more, it’ll take a lot of time for me to recover. By then, I would already

be sold.

out to get rid of air bubbles in it. A malicious smirk graces his lips as he slowly walks over, and Janet also stares in sick satisfaction at my horrified look. Even Gina has recovered to enjoy the

show.

No, I can’t allow myself to be injected with wolf’s bane once more. I can remember the pain, and so does my wolf. And she isn’t happy with the thought one bit as I feel her anger rise to the roof. She wants to get out, and even though I’m trying to suppress her, it’s hard to. This is bad. I’m not supposed to shift since my transformation isn’t complete yet.

Just then, the rogue reaches me and crouches to prick the needle into my arm. My heart’s beat quickens, and my breathing becomes erratic. But before he could even achieve his aim, my hands whips out to clamp on his wrist, stopping him from going further.

With the needle a few inches from my arm, he looks up at me in surprise, not expecting me to have regained my strength. Well, neither had I. With a growl, he attempts to hold me down when I send my fist

square into his jaw. The room falls silent, and a sickening crack resonates around the room as his head whips to the side, and he slowly begins to fall towards the ground,

unconscious.

I stare at my fist in amazement, surprised I had knocked a guy unconscious with one

punch.

“Woah!” I whisper but heard a loud huff of annoyance from beside me. Janet is furious with her face turning red as she grits her teeth in anger.

“Get her, you bastards!” She shrieks the order at the other men in the room, who are still staring at me in shock. They shake out of their dazed form and begin to proceed towards me

with sinister intent in their eyes.

My eyes scan the room, and I realize their numbers have reduced to four. Even Gina’s father had gone out, and only a few she-wolves remain in the basement, watching the scene in

fright.

One rogue gets closer to me and crouches to punch me in the face when I abruptly roll away to the side. His fist meets the floor, but he doesn’t even so much as flinch as he reaches for me once more. He jumps at me, using his weight to pin me back to the floor. Another comes beside him and takes the needle to bring it to my arm.

“No!” I struggle, trying to wriggle away from the two rogues, but it’s too late as the needle breaks past my skin and the liquid seeps into my blood. I still try to fight, but the pain has already begun, and I can feel my limbs turning heavy.

and my eyes drift around the room slowly to see Janet’s and Gina’s satisfied smiles. My

eyelids are heavy with exhaustion as I lay back on the floor motionless.

“Quick, give her another.” I hear Gina’s voice echo like we’re in a tunnel. I stare at the lightbulb above us, and suddenly, an image of Reagan flashes in my mind.

I miss him already. I wish I had gone with him this morning, then I wouldn’t be here right now. I would be by his side, breathing in his scent and stealing kisses from him every once in a

while. But if I’m sold today, that may never happen.

No! I want to see him. I want…no, need my mate. And this fuckers are planning on

separating me from him forever. I will not let that happen.

My eyes snap to the rogue beside me, who is about to inject another wolf’s bane into my arm, and in a flash, I grip his wrist. He looks up at me, shocked, and without a second thought, I twist his arm and jab the needle into his neck. Tignore his scream of agony as I press on the plunger top. The veins around his neck become visible and turn purple, extending to his face as he claws at his neck.

I watch emotionless as he drops to the floor with a loud thud and goes silent. The color on his face turns darker like that of a decayed body, and the life leaves his eyes. Purple lines are still visible on his face and neck, with his eyes wide open as he stares up blankly. That would have been me the first time I had been injected if I wasn’t transforming into a Lycan.

Everyone is silent once more with horrified looks on their faces as they take in the scene. But I don’t even so much as feel any sort of remorse. I can feel my wolf’s cravings for blood. I am no longer in complete control as she has taken half of my mind. And there’s no stopping us

now.

“Why are you dummies all standing there? Get her!” Janet’s voice resounds around the room, causing my eyes to snap to hers. She’s the one I want dead the most.

My eyes drift to every rogue in the room as I stand up. My claws are already out of my fingers and my gum aches as my canines protrude out.

The remaining she-wolves are quivering in fear in a corner while the three remaining rogues have a look of fear on their faces when their eyes meet mine.

I notice one of them was the lean guy who had attacked me at the penthouse. My eyes remain on him as he was the one who had injected me with wolf’s bane at first. And my wolf craves vengeance. He notices my stare and moves back a bit in fright, but resolve covers his features, and he rushes towards me. In a flash, 1 sidestep him, which he notices too late and

Bloody Basement hold his neck between my hands before violently twisting it.

His head whips to the side with a sickening crack. And he falls to the ground with a loud thud. I hear another man yell as he dashes over to me, aiming to punch me, but I grab his fist and twist it before slashing his neck with my claw. He won’t be able to heal from that as he bleeds out and falls to his knees before landing on the floor. The last man had already made his move before I knew it and had sneaked behind me.

I feel the prick of a needle on my neck and knew exactly what it was. But it doesn’t hurt me

this time, just an irritatable itch. I turn then to see the rogue’s eyes turn wide in shock, and he aims to run away, but I catch the back of his shirt and pull to make him turn towards me, before using my other claw to rip his heart out from his chest. I throw the organ to the ground beside the man as he falls. Then my eyes snap up to the stairs where some rogues had come down again, but when their eyes take in the scene before landing on me, they rush back upstairs without a second thought.

“Hey, b***h!” Gina shrieks beside me, and when I turn around, she already has her claws out, aiming at my neck. But I’m faster as I catch her wrist and stare straight into her frightened eyes, before landing a sharp slap on her face. She flies back like the delicate thing she was and lands by Janet’s feet, unconscious.

Janet looks down at the rogues and Gina by her feet with an irritated look.

“Useless.” She mutters and then stares back at me with a smirk stretching across her lips. “I guess I’ll have to kill you after all.” er Prince Reagan by Sky Angel Chapter 4
