Chapter 160

RYN

The wind blew my hair behind me as Iran as best as I could in the direction of Alpha Jack

The attack of my leg hadn’t fully healed yet, so it was more of a half limp, half run, and as he got farther away towards a car parked in the distance. I began to panic.

I can’t fail in this mission. I had one job, and that was to sectire iny inheritance and keep Jack captive so he could be taken into custody.

Now, El’s in trouble. It’s becoming known that I am actively involved with mutants and I have no idea if Theon and Miro will even let us go at all.

All this can’t be for nothing!

“Why not?” I asked, my voice shaking with anger. “Why won’t you give me what’s rightfully mine?!”

Jack rolled his eyes, and the act infuriated me so badly that I kicked his shin.

“You fucking bitch!” He growled, trying to struggle out of Theon’s hold, but my mate kept him pinned. “You will never have that inheritance!” His eyes gleamed mischievously.
