Chapter 20 Theodore's POV C Jasper's voice trembled violently , like a leaf in the wind . His body shook uncontrollably in my grasp , as if my sudden action had terrified him out of his wits . The unease in my heart grew stronger , and the force in my hands unconsciously increased as I pressed , " Who exactly did you kidnap ? " " The daughter of the former Alpha of the Thunder Pack , Vanya . It's because she snatched the obsidian rough we could have easily obtained at a low price that I resorted to this … " Before he could finish his sentence , my anger erupted like a lit powder keg . I lifted my foot and kicked him in the chest with all my might . Jasper's body flew backward several meters like a broken kite , slamming into the ground and raising a cloud of dust . I struggled to suppress my wolf and shouted at him , " Where is she ? " Jasper was already terrified , mumbling incoherently . Derrick grabbed him by the collar , his wolf fangs protruding from his gums , releasing the powerful aura of an Alpha . Jasper's legs began to tremble as he stammered , " It's … it's in the abandoned … building … " " Which abandoned building ? " Derrick impatiently asked . " The one … " Jasper's lips trembled , " in the southeast corner … " " Take him in the car , " I said coldly , then turned and walked away . I sat in the car , not knowing why I was so anxious . My heart burned like fire , and my mind continuously conjured images of the dangers Vanya might be facing . In reality , I had only known Vanya for a few days , and I didn't understand why I was so worried . Jasper's fragmented words confirmed that Vanya was imprisoned in an abandoned building . After getting in the car , Jasper finally managed to blurt out the approximate location . Without a word , Derrick drove in that direction . Derrick drove at breakneck speed , and soon , we arrived at a sinister abandoned building not far away . In this part of Los Angeles , such unfinished buildings are often breeding grounds for crime and potential sites for dark dealings . " This damned Jasper , how could he trap someone in such a desolate place ? " Derrick cursed while scanning the surroundings like a vigilant cheetah . The place seemed to be swallowed by endless darkness , eerily silent and only his voice echoed in the empty space , as if the only noise in the darkness , yet exuding an indescribable strangeness . As soon as the car stopped , I dragged Jasper out of the car swiftly . He tumbled awkwardly on the ground a few times before staggering to his feet . Seeing this , Derrick's eyes flashed with anger . Like an enraged bull , he rushed forward and kicked Jasper , roaring , " Where is she ? " Jasper was almost knocked down by the kick , his face filled with terror and flattery . His tongue seemed tied as he said , " It's they , they hidden her . We just wanted to give Ms. Dalton a lesson . We thought after getting the money , we would blow up this building . This way , we could get rid of Cliff , make a fortune , and impress you . We really didn't expect Ms. Dalton to have old ties with you … " 1/2 P Chapter 20 " Blown up ? You said you were going to blow this up ? A timed bomb ? " Derrick's eyes bulged like copper bells , full of shock and anger , as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world . Jasper was scared like a leaf in the wind , nodding desperately . His body trembled like a sieve . My gaze immediately locked onto him , making him involuntarily swallow . " Derrick , tie him up tightly . If the bomb explodes , I want him to be the first to accompany the burial ," I said coldly , my inner rage burning . My wolf kept roaring in my mind , " We can't let anything happen to Vanya ! We must find her as soon as possible ! " " Why are you so anxious about Vanya ? " I couldn't help but respond to my wolf in my mind . It was silent for a moment , then said , " I don't know . I just feel that she is very important to us . " Hearing this , Jasper fell to his knees , begging for mercy , looking as pitiful as a dog wagging its tail , but Derrick was unmoved . He tied him up with a rope skillfully . At this moment , I could sense that Vanya was still alive . The primary task was to defuse the potential bomb threat . Just then , a black Bentley slowly drove in like a ghost in the night . مر I recognized it at a glance . It was Cliff's ride . 19 " Alpha Cliff , what is this place … I'm so scared …" The female rogue named Melinda clutched Cliff's sleeve tightly , her voice trembling , her eyes full of fear . Cliff gently patted her hand , comforting , " Stay in the car . Don't get out . " Melinda nodded like an obedient child . W Seeing Cliff get out of the car , Derrick's mouth curled into a mocking sneer , " Your Luna has been kidnapped , and you still have the mind to be affectionate with your lover here ? " " Who exactly kidnapped Vanya ? " Cliff's gaze turned to us . He said coldly , " If I'm not mistaken , Jasper is your man . " I responded expressionlessly , " He acted on his own . " Derrick shouted , " Guys , stop chatting here . What about the bomb ? " 114 T 2/2
