Shackled (The Lord Series)
79. Experiment 514
Tracking down and finding my target took
time than I expected, but luck was on my side. I was surveying the building she was living in, planning my next moves when I save her going to the main street. 1 followed her, curious to see where she was heading, dressed in only a blue shirt and no shoes. It surprised me to see her entering a train station, but I knew that if I didn’t act fast, I would lose her, especially after she came out of the bathroom wearing new clothes, a backpack on her shoulders,
And now, I am finally on my way back to the facility. 713 has promised me she will be strong and survive whatever 919 will do to her. She has to keep her promise because I don’t know what will happen to me if I lose her. My demon growls love and menacing, making me think he will destroy the facility if more harm is done to 713. It’s about f ucking time.
I turn on the radio-once, I used to love music-and speed up all the way to the facility, riger to be with the woman I love.
Alew hours later, I park the car in the facility’s ginge and go to open the trunk. Angelica is still asleep, a smartwatch in her hands. I curse out loud because I didn’t think of checking her pockets. Even if she was able to contact anyone, which I doubt, it does not matter, as it is impossible to get out of the facility, I could leave because Azael allowed me, but not before a tracker was implanted in my spine. If I ever try to remove it, I will die, as a toxin will be released.
After breaking the smartwatch, I pick up Angelica and take her to Azael’s office.
“Jels done,” I s

am allowed in. I put Angelica on a chast, but she falls to the floor. “Can I see 713?”
Azael glances at Angelica before telling me, “Take her to 919. You will find 713 there. The dog will automatically open when you get there.”
Gritting my teeth in frustration, I do as asked. As told, the door to 919’s cell opens when I get to it, and I enter. He is sleeping on his bed, his back to me. I look around for 713, and I almost go insane when I see her lying in a pool or her own blood. I drop Angelica and rush to my love.
“No!” I cry out when my hands touch her cold skin. “No! No! You promisel?”

919 wakes up and grins at me as he looks at me. My demon demands for 919’s blood to be shed, a life for a life. My body shakes violently, hoping this time I will shift, but nothing happens. “She lasted ten days, more than any other women before her.” He stands and goes to Angelica. He studies her for a few moments. “How long do you think this pretty thing till last?”
I stand and call for my angel, wanting to kill 919, when Azael enters the cell. Instead of going for 919, I rush to the one that destroyed my life. “You said 713 will live if I bring you Angelica! I will kill you and then 919!” I growl as I remove Azael’s grin from his face with a hard blow of my fist.
Guards run inside the cell and peel me off Azael, and I am beaten up until I lose consciousness.
When I wake up, I
A, I am in my room. A TV has been placed in the middle of my cell, and I turn it on. A video of 919 torturing 713 starts. She screams for me, begging me to come and save her.
Fuelled by the deep hate I have for Azael, I fist my palms and destroy the TV. Using some parts of it and with the help of my demon and angel, I somehow open the door to my cell and step outside it. I don’t care if I get caught as long as I make it to the central computer system and activate the auto-destruction sequence. No one knows I have access to the codes.
I go up t the stairs, as many working here use the elevators, I reach the bottom floor when the alarm goes off. F uck! I really hoped I had more time.
I run faster when the door that leads to the garage opens, and a blonde man enters, a semiautomate gun in his hands. Both of us stop in our tracks. He is not one of the facility personnel, as I know all of then
He points at me with the gun but does not fire as there is recognition in his eyes. “Wait. You are
I cut him short before he can finish. “Who are you, and what are you doing here?” I growl.
*1 am looking for a woman,” he dodges my questions. “Help me find her, and I will help you return to your family. They are looking for you.”
I should not trust him, but he knows me and my family. I never believed in the enemy of my enemy is my friend bull sh it, but maybe tonight is a good time too
“I will help you only if you promise to assist me in destroying this place afterward. Not that I trust him, but I need another person to manually insert the codes at the same time as me.
He stretches out his hand, and I ignore it. Being touched by men erpulses me.’
