Chapter 137: Olivia Was Caught By Caelan
(Olivia’s POV)
The elevator doors slid shut behind me with a soft ding. My heart hammered against my ribs as I stared into a pair of cold. calculating eyes.
“Caelan Mooncrest!” I gasped, my voice echoing in the confined space. “Weren’t you supposed to be in detention? How did you get released so quickly!”
His lips curved into a cruel smile. The wolf poison spray he’d used was already taking effect, making my limbs feel heavy and sluggish.
The elevator lurched to a stop. Before I could react, his iron grip closed around my wrist.
“Let me go!” I shouted, struggling against his hold.
Pain shot through my injured hand as his fingers dug into the silver burn. The white bandage darkened with fresh blood, and I couldn’t suppress a sharp intake of breath.
He dragged me from the elevator with brutal efficiency. My feet stumbled over the polished floor as I fought against his grip.
“Help! Someone help me!” My voice cracked with desperation.
Caelan yanked me into an apartment and shoved me onto the leather sofa. I tried to shift, to call upon my wolf’s strength, but the poison had done its work.
Nothing happened. My wolf remained silent, trapped.
His cold body pressed down on me before I could scramble away. “Ah–have you gone crazy! Let me go!”
I drove my knee upward, aiming for his groin. My fingers clawed toward his eyes with desperate fury.
Caught off guard, Caelan jerked backward to avoid my knee strike. My foot connected with his side, sending him stumbling.
I rolled off the sofa and grabbed the nearest weapon–a heavy table lamp. My dress collar hung torn, exposing pale skin. My hair fell in disheveled waves around my shoulders.
Caelan touched his chin, coming away with blood. His sneer was venomous.
“Not bad, wild enough, exciting enough.” His voice dripped with malice. “Much more interesting than those high–society whores.”
My grip tightened on the lamp. “Stay back!”
“No wonder Theodore went crazy looking for you everywhere.” He circled me like a predator. “Even making Matthew give up a political marriage to mark you.”
His eyes raked over my torn dress with disgusting hunger. “Looking at how scared you are now, I can’t help but want to f**k you.”
He lunged forward with inhuman speed. “Let me taste you!”
I swung the lamp with all my strength. It connected with his skull in a shower of sparks and shattered glass.
Blood streamed down his face, making his gaze look demonic in the dim light. He grabbed my shoulders and slammed
me against the glass balcony door.
The impact knocked the breath from my lungs. His hands tore at my dress, ripping the fabric further.
“Help–I screamed at the top of my lungs.
“Go on, scream!” He snarled, his face inches from mine. “I bought the entire building! It’s useless even if you scream your
throat out!”
His head dipped toward my chest. Revulsion and terror warred in my mind as his breath hit my skin.
I bit down on his ear with savage desperation. My teeth found flesh and bone.
“Ah!” He jerked back, striking me across the face.
The blow sent me crashing to the floor. Stars exploded behind my eyelids as pain radiated through my skull.
He touched his bleeding ear, his hand coming away crimson. “You b***h!”
I scrambled toward the door on hands and knees. My fingers found the handle and twisted frantically.
Nothing. It was locked from the outside.
As his footsteps drew near, fear surged through her, and he called out from outside. “You stinking b***h, I’m going to f**k you to death!”
He limped toward me, blood still streaming from his wounded ear. I fled into the nearest bedroom and slammed the door
behind me.
My shaking hands turned the lock just as his fists began pounding against the wood. The door shuddered with each impact.
My eyes swept the room desperately. A laptop sat open on the desk.
I lunged for it, my fingers flying over the keyboard. The video call connected almost instantly.
“Professor! Come save me!” Killian’s familiar face filled the screen.
“Olivia, where are you?” His voice was sharp with concern.
“I’m at-”
The door exploded inward in a shower of splinters. Caelan ripped the network cable from the wall, cutting the connection.
I backed toward the terrace, my heart pounding. Behind me lay a drop of dozens of meters to the concrete below.
“Why are you doing this to me?” I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.
“If it weren’t for you, Cynthia would be Matthew’s Luna.” His voice was ice–cold as he advanced.
He grabbed my arm and threw me onto the bed. I rolled away, putting the mattress between us.
I knew Gina and Cain would eventually find me. I just had to buy time.
“Whether I exist or not, Matthew would never mark Cynthia Mooncrest!” I spat.
Seeing I had nowhere to run, Caelan slowed his approach. His confidence was sickening. “Without you, Matthew would never have broken off the engagement with Cynthia back then!”
His words made no sense, but I didn’t have time to puzzle them out. He lunged across the bed.
I grabbed the discarded network cable and wrapped it around his neck. For a moment, surprise flickered in his eyes.
Then his expression shifted to twisted amusement. “How wild! So this is the way you like it!”
He broke free with astonishing strength, the cable snapping like thread. But something had changed.
I could feel my claws extending. The wolf poison was wearing off.
I lunged at him with renewed fury, claws aimed at his throat. He caught my wrist, his grip like a vise.
“Much better,” he purred, his free hand sliding under my torn dress.
A furious roar echoed from the doorway. “Get away!”
(God’s POV)
A black shadow flashed past, kicking Caelan against the wall with bone–crushing force. It was Theodore.
His eyes took in Olivia’s disheveled state, her torn dress, her terrified expression. Rage transformed his features into something inhuman.
He rained punch after punch on Caelan’s face and body. Blood splattered the walls with each impact.
A small figure darted into the room and latched onto Caelan’s leg. It was Leo.
“Bad guy! Who let you bully my mom!” the pup screamed, his small fists pummeling Caelan’s thigh.
Father and son worked in brutal harmony, beating Caelan until he was barely conscious. His face was a mask of blood
and swelling.
Captain Ryker rushed in, having subdued Caelan’s men in the hallway. “Alpha, Young Master, stop! Think of the
consequences!”
He grabbed Theodore’s arm as another punch was about to land. “The Luna is what’s important!”
The two finally stopped their assault. Caelan slumped against the wall, barely breathing.
Olivia stood frozen, her mind blank with shock and trauma. When her eyes met Theodore’s, she saw them overflowing
with love and desperate concern.
He shrugged off his suit jacket and wrapped it around her trembling shoulders. His arms encircled her, his body shaking with rage and fear.
“I’m sorry, Livy,” he whispered, his voice choked with emotion. “I’m sorry I was late.”
The terror finally caught up to her. Tears welled in her eyes as the full horror of what had almost happened crashed over
her.
But as she registered his embrace, she pushed him away with all her remaining strength. “Don’t touch me!”
He refused to let go, his voice soft and pleading. “I’ll take you to a healer. After that, I won’t touch you, okay?”
Heavy footsteps approached from the hallway. Matthew appeared in the doorway, his dark eyes taking in the scene with deadly calm.
He strode forward and forcefully pried Theodore’s arms away from Olivia. With a sharp shove, he sent Theodore stumbling backward.
Matthew pulled Olivia into his own protective embrace, his body forming a shield between her and the others.
His voice cut through the room like a blade. “Grab him!”
