Chapter 25: Unexpected Rescue

(Olivia's POV)

The shiv glinted under the harsh cell lights as it descended toward my hand, I struggled desperately against the three women, their iron grip pinning me to the cold concrete floor.

The metal edge inched closer to my palm. I twisted frantically, but couldn't break free.

Suddenly, the cell door swung open with a metallic clang. The unexpected noise startled my

attackers, their heads snapping toward the interruption.

I seized that split-second hesitation, yanking my hand back with all my strength.

The leader, enraged by my resistance, lunged forward with the shiv.

The makeshift weapon struck the concrete floor with a harsh clang, missing my flesh by

inches.

"What are you doing?" Chief Walter Garrison's voice roared from the doorway, his face ashen

with shock.

Before he could step forward, another figure moved with lightning speed, striding into the cell. Lucas Blackwood, the imposing Alpha of the Moonstone Pack, swept past the chief.

His face, usually the epitome of composure, had transformed. Cold fury radiated from him as

he delivered a swift, brutal kick to the leader of the trio.

"Ah!" she shrieked, crumpling to the ground, the shiv skittering across the floor.

The other two women recoiled in terror, scrambling backward against the wall. Their eyes

widened as they recognized the powerful Alpha in their midst.

Lucas knelt beside me, his movements surprisingly gentle as he removed his gray coat. He

draped it carefully over my trembling form, his eyes narrowing as they cataloged the injuries

on my face.

"Are you hurt anywhere else?" he asked, his voice strained with barely controlled emotion.

I tried to speak, but my throat felt raw from screaming. Finally, I managed a single word: "No."

His tense posture eased slightly. "Can you walk?" he asked, offering his hand.

I nodded, accepting his assistance as he helped me to my feet. My legs wobbled beneath me, but his steady grip kept me upright.
