Chapter 31 Release My Friend Hector grabbed the rope and strode over to Queenie . " Hector , what are you doing ? " Queenie froze , momentarily stunned . She hadn't expected him to actually come over to restrain her . " Don't listen to Tessa . I'm your sister ! " " A cousin , and not even a close one ," Hector replied icily " Hector . " Queenie couldn't believe he was truly following Tessa's orders . She attempted to evade him , but Hector caught her effortlessly , as if she were nothing more than a helpless chick . Without hesitation , he secured her to a chair . " Hector , let me go ! Let me go right now ! " Annoyed by her shouting , Hector struck her across the face . " Shut up . " Queenie stared at him in shock . Has he completely lost his mind ? Hector turned away from her , his gaze locking onto Tessa with an almost feverish devotion . " Tessa , I really like you . As long as you stay with me , I'll obey your every command . If Queenie ever dares to hurt you , I won't let her off lightly . " His voice dripped with sincerity as he swore his allegiance . Though he was now a member of the Werewolf Mercenaries , vastly stronger than Tessa , who had yet to awaken her wolf , he could have easily marked her and forced her to be his mate . She wouldn't have stood a chance against him . But Tessa was the girl he had loved for years . He wanted her to be his mate willingly . " Release my friend ," Tessa ordered , her voice as cold and unyielding as ever , completely unfazed by Hector's presence . " What are you waiting for ? Let her go , " Hector commanded his men without hesitation . His subordinates immediately rushed to untie Ysabel . Ysabel never expected Tessa to come alone to rescue her . Overwhelmed with emotion , tears welled up in her eyes . Tessie is incredible ! The moment she was freed , Ysabel ran straight to Tessa " Tessie ! " Tessa scanned her from head to toe , her sharp eyes catching the redness on her cheek . Her voice took on a dangerous edge . " Who hit her ? " At her words , one of Hector's men visibly flinched . Mr. Hector clearly holds this girl in high regard . If she wants payback , he'll definitely make me pay for it … That tiny reaction was all Tessa needed . 20.43 Mon , Apr 21 BB @ 63 % Finished : Chapter 31 Release My Friend She walked forward slowly , stopping in front of the tall man . " Which hand ? " The man instinctively took a step back . As one of Hector's subordinates , he was far from weak . Yet , an inexplicable sense of oppression emanated from Tessa , who hadn't even awakened her wolf . It was an aura even more suffocating than Hector's . " Since you don't want to tell me , I'll take both . " " Ah ! " Tessa wasted no words . She moved swiftly , breaking both of his arms with merciless precision . The snap of bone echoed through the room . The man collapsed , writhing on the floor in agony , his screams piercing the air . The others turned pale , their faces drained of color . " Tessa , I came here today just to see you . You've made your point , so let's not take things too far , " Hector said , still smiling , completely indifferent to his subordinate's suffering . " Are you all planning to attack me together , or should I take you one by one ? " Tessa's tone was chilling . She clearly had no intention of letting the rest of Hector's men walk away unscathed . Hearing this , Hector's expression darkened . Tessa is completely ungrateful , drunk on arrogance just because I've spoiled her . I already did what she wanted . I tied up Queenie and even let her cripple one of my men . And now , she still has the audacity to go after the rest ? This is exactly why women shouldn't be spoiled . They forget their place . " Tessa , you'd do well to know your limits . A pathetic girl without a wolf should consider it an honor that I even … Ah ! " Before he could finish , Tessa drove her foot into his stomach with ruthless force . Hector crumpled to the ground instantly , gasping for breath . Tessa looked down at him , her expression one of icy disdain . " With skills like yours , how dare you call yourself a Werewolf Mercenary ? Aren't you ashamed ? " 10
