Kane's Pov

But why the f**k am I even harder than before? I tucked back my briefs, wore my pants before dashing back to the living room to see her trying to leave with her baby, whose eyes were wide open with a downpour of her annoying tears. The gunshots shattered the glass, and the baby cried even harder. Now what type of cops shoot this way to arrest someone?

"You don't want to do that, Kestrel." I warned with a growl, and she shook her head, pointing the screw at me like it was her only anchor to protect her.

"I will do anything to protect my baby away from you. Leave me alone and pretend I'm dead, Kane."

"I can't do that," I swallowed, taking strides towards her despite her shaky hands.

"Why? Because you want to kill me for mother's death? You think I killed her, right? You think I lured her out and killed her!" She screamed and made her baby flinch, who cried again. I took the baby from her, hating how good the baby smelled. The shooting wouldn't stop, and I didn't have time for such explanations now.

Sophie hugged my neck tightly and cooed, trembling in hiccups, and I went to the window to stare at what the f**k was going on while the little thing babbled angrily as if she was reporting her mum to me.

"We are leaving the f**k out of here right now," I told her, scanning the room for any possible areas where we could break through and escape those fake-ass cops outside.

"I'm not leaving anywhere, Kane. I'm not going anywhere but to those cops who will lock your ass up and give you the poison meant for wolves."

"If you go to them, you will die. Those are not real cops, so you're going to bring down that attitude and listen to me. You will have to jump through the window of your room, and I'll do the same. We'll get the car and get the f**k out of here." I explained, but my bratty little sister was so f*****g stupid—she opened the door and ran out.

Kestrel's POV

I didn't want to know whatever bullshit Kane was saying. I ran out for my dear life, leaving my baby. He might be a monster, but I knew how comfortable I felt knowing he wouldn't hurt Sophie.

I screamed in horror when I saw the men scattered on the floor like bloody bags. Blood was everywhere, my car window was shattered, and Adam—whom I badly wanted to see—was nowhere to be found aside from his wallet in the car. A man dressed in a cop uniform with an official badge came to me and tucked his gun aside.

"Where's the baby?" he asked me, and I choked on my words, remembering the words Kane said to me: "If you go to them, you'll die."

"He's with the baby. Please help me get my baby..." I pleaded, but all I heard was "get her inside the car and fetch the other bastard."

They dragged me to where the car was, which blasted out siren sounds, and my breath got caught in my throat when I saw Adam waiting beside the car. I gasped and rushed to hug him, his head was bandaged and I cupped his face to be sure he was the one.

"Oh my God, are you okay? He said he hurt you. I was so worried and sick, Adam." I told him, but he didn't flinch. He didn't even smile at me. Normally he would have asked about Sophie, squeezed my hands to be sure I'm okay, but all I'm seeing is a different version of Adam.

"Get in the car, Mrs Strom. We'll see how to get your baby." He ordered curtly, and I swallowed at the professional tone of his voice. Was he a cop? He never acted like one, and he wasn't even looking at me.

"Adam?" I whispered, and he flashed a murderous glare at me which made me flinch.

"Get in the damn car, Kestrel, and don't f*****g piss me off!" Kane's words reverberated in my ears again: "If you go out there, they will kill you."

"I'm not getting inside until I see my baby." I tried to be bold and backed away from him when he suddenly grabbed my hair forcefully and pushed me inside the car that was already opened. I screamed and thrashed against him.

"What the hell, Adam!" I yelled as my eyes were wide like saucers, the betrayal I never expected hitting me like a freight train.

"You shouldn't have tried to leave. Now you'll end up dead!" He spat at me and brought out his phone to shove it at my face.

"Pick it up," he ordered, and I swallowed before taking the phone with shaky hands.

"He... hello?"

"Hi, Kessy. Don't act stubborn and just be a good girl till your psychopath of a brother comes here."

My heart slammed hard against me at that name. Dear Goddess! Only my ex-husband calls me that. I thought he was dead... I thought Kane said he killed him, but I thought he died in an accident. The bastard was dealing with drugs and always coming home to beat me. I tendered a divorce, and he went ballistic against me and drove out, only to hear later that he was dead—not even with a scratch on his body but with animal marks that definitely looked like something my brother would do. I didn't waste any other time in that city. I fled.

"Trent?"

"I know, baby. I miss you too, but I'm really horny for your brother right now. So don't f**k this up, except you want to take your brother's place. I know you hate him, and that would be the perfect opportunity to get rid of him so you can live peacefully forever." He cackled through the phone, and my wolf suddenly growled in anger. She hated it so much when anyone threatened Kane. She was scared of Kane, scared of what he might do to us, but don't just f*****g make a threat out of him.

"You shouldn't have survived, you bastard! You think Kane is some picnic show you want to watch and eat?"

"No, Kess. I know that bastard brother of yours is a beast I would tear to shreds, and I'll f**k you on his body. You both—children of goddamn wolves—don't deserve to see the light! f**k you for deceiving me, you animal!" He growled and cut the call. I stared at Adam, and his expression was emotionless and blank.

"You f*****g played me for two years, pretending to be the good guy?" I asked him with tears, and he smirked instead. A devilish grin curved his face, and he shrugged.

"I'm just following orders, Kestrel, but I really liked you until I discovered you're just another one of them hovering around this city. Really, a f*****g wolf?" He told me casually, and I heard one of the men shouting, "They've got him." I couldn't stay here and let these weak things take me away. By the time Adam moved to shut the door, I used my legs with all of my strength to slam it hard against him, which threw him off guard. He cursed and began to shoot, but f**k those bullets. It would heal in a blink.

I needed to get my baby and Kane out of here immediately, but it was too late—too goddamn late—because I felt a yank from the scalp of my hair, dragging me backwards despite my screaming. I thrashed and begged, but I was useless because at that point, my face was blindfolded, and I knew I lost my baby and my brother.
