Returns Novel 495

hapter 495 Not Letting Her Go

George's words struck the remaining Nightwatchers Pack like a bolt from the blue, leaving them shaken and unsteady, some nearly on the verge of collapse.

'What the hell is going on here?' they thought, disbelief etched across their faces. 'Wasn't he sent by Ashley to capture Raven?

'Then why does George look like he knows her from way back?'

Everyone of Nightwatchers Pack exchanged uneasy glances, their silent understanding clear. Without a word, they began inching toward the door, hoping to slip away unnoticed.

At this moment, Raven's entire focus was on George standing before her, completely ignoring everyone else around her. For some reason, a faint pang of sadness stirred in her heart.

As Raven studied George's face up close, that strange sense of familiarity grew even stronger.

For some reason, the man in front of her felt inexplicably familiar, almost like family.

And yet, she was certain she had never met George before.

Raven had no idea where this feeling came from.

Confused, Raven glanced down at the scar-faced man lying lifeless on the ground.

After confirming he was dead with no chance of survival, she turned back to George, her expression puzzled.
