The Abused Luna’s Comeback - Chapter 218

218 Continuing the Pursuit

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

“Nicholas, I will kill you,” said I to the b*tard who faced me. He was so close to me I could feel his aura.

“Oh, is that so? Just you?” He looked at me contemptuously and my fists clenched so tightly that my knuckles started to crack.

“You look cute when you’re angry, sweetheart.” He rubbed his hand against my face, which made me roar again but I just stood there without moving.

“Bring her to me.”I heard Nicholas ordering his men. “I’m surprised that you captured her so easily.”

“Sir, when we found her, she was hiding in a large room in the castle. It looked like the bedroom of her and the Alpha. We threatened her with the lives of the other hostages, so she didn’t dare to use her ability.”

Nicholas walked in front of Emily. He looked at her and used his hand to lift her chin. “Look, this is a kind and competent Luna who is ready to sacrifice herself for the sake of her people.”

I saw the confusion in Emily’s eyes, but more than that, it was fear. I didn’t expect them to use the hostages to threaten her, but thankfully she was just bait.

In the next second, she did something even more unwise. She bit a few of his fingers on her chin, which made the b*stard hiss in pain.

“You have a temper, b*tch,” said he to her as he slapped her loudly with the back of his hand. “Don’t worry, when I bring you back, I’m sure your attitude will change soon.”

“I won’t go anywhere with you!” Emily shouted, trying to break free from the vampire’s grip.

“Do you think I won’t kill you?!” Nicholas growled at Emily in a vampire’s voice, which made her stop immediately. She could only look at me with tears in her eyes.

“Nicholas, if you insist on taking my people away, you will pay for it,” said I.

“Perhaps this sentence can be used on your mate’s epitaph.” He laughed hoarsely and sharply while Emily screamed.

“My Lord, what should we do with these people?” asked one of his subordinates.

“Bring them all back to the safe house. Make sure they are quiet, then lock them in silver shackles and wait for me,” said he to his subordinates but his gaze was locked with mine.

His men bowed to him and put a black hood on Emily. Then, one by one, they flashed and disappeared, taking my people with them.

I knew that vampires could flash with other creatures at short distances, which confirmed our previous judgment.

Nicholas’s safe house was in the city, his staging post, before he took them somewhere else.

I roared and rushed over to stop them, but Nicholas grabbed me by the throat.

“Alpha!” I heard my pack members exclaim beside me.

“Although I really want to kill you, I know that wolves have stupid mating systems. If I kill you, Emily might die too. So today is your lucky day, Alpha.”

I could feel the amount of strength he used to fling me into a tree in the distance. My body fiercely collided with the tree trunk and I fell to the ground.

“Alpha Edward Lancaster, now you know that you are the loser. Wolves will never be able to compete with vampires because you are born as a inferior race.”

Nicholas proudly proclaimed this to me and the rest of my pack. He started to laugh out loud. His voice was not only disgusting but also creepy. “Soon, all of you will cease to exist! Are you looking forward to it?”

I couldn’t do anything, or rather, I couldn’t do anything for the time being. I could only look at him with hatred, which made him laugh even harder. Then, he disappeared from my sight before his surviving subordinates flashed away one after another.

Once I confirmed that all of them had disappeared, I stood up. Patrick and Ad immediately came to my side.

“Alpha, are you okay? That looks painful.” Patrick was worried as he handed me a blanket.

“I’m fine. I believe it’s just a superficial wound.” I wiped the blood off my arm. Then I looked at Ad. “Ad, are you okay?”

“At least for now. Jane is with them now. She will be able to protect herself and not act rashly. Those hostages should be the trained vampire killers she mentioned earlier too.”

“Brother, I promise you that I will protect them with my life,” said I to Ade. He just nodded silently.

“Beta Patrick, immediately track their signal and synchronize it with the Council of Elders,” said I to Patric and he quickly walked away.

“Gamma Ad, Chief Guard Dylan, go around and see how many people we have lost. Then, get ready to leave.” They nodded and walked away. I stood in place and looked around. I noticed that the hellfire generated by my mate’s ability was still hissing not far away on more than twenty vampire corpses.

I walked over to check and make sure that all of the vampires were already dead. I was glad that Rose had not been discovered by the vampires when she used her ability. The one they took away was still Emily, but the scene just now was enough to scare me. I just wanted to find her right now, before I left to capture Nicholas.

“Alpha.”

A man’s voice called out to me as I sped toward the castle.
