*****Jace''s POV*****


    "This ce isn''t always heavily guarded, but there are some random traps here which you don''t want to fall into." I said to the guards with me as we neared the familiar ck gate of the base that once held me hostage in it.


    The guards nodded in understanding as we finally reached the gates. For some unknown reason, I just couldn''t figure out why this ce was never guarded so much. The trap can''t be the only thing guarding this entire ce of course.


    There had to be something else guarding this ce from intruders.


    Just as I reached for the gate, I heard the voice of someone, "Take one more step forward and you''d be dead."


    I frowned, was this person referring to us? Had they already seen us


    approaching?


    That was bad.


    As we stood there frozen in our tracks, I suddenly heard a voice I never expected to hear.


    "Sir, please just let me go.... Please.."


    Tasyra? She was out here?


    If Tasyra was out here, didn''t it mean that she was just about to escape and was caught?


    The possibility of Tasyra about to escape was low, but assuring.


    The voice asking her to stay put was deep and gruffy, definitely a huge guard. But


    it seemed to me that he was alone, giving us the perfect chance we needed.


    I turned to the guards who came with me and gave them a small nod.


    They understood the gesture and without warning, they used their legs to push the gate open.


    We rushed in immediately, thankfully I asked the guards toe with firearms. In no time, we attacked and killed the guard.


    Because of the sound of the guns, the other guards began to rush forward.


    I cursed and ran towards Tasyra to pull her out since she stood frozen there.


    The four of us ran out of the base and into the same forest where I ran into the first time I escaped from here.


    Tasyra was looking behind us and panting nonstop and the next minute, she screamed and pushed my body sideways, the bullet flying straight to her leg and piercing through.


    She yelped and fell to the floor hard.


    I paused in shock, turning to reach out to her.


    By now, she already began to wail loudly and I cursed again.


    "Tasyra, rx, you''ll be fine. Stop screaming, stop." I cooed and she breathed in through her lips heavily, trying to bite down the pain she felt.


    "Call the others toe with the car!" I yelled and the guards nodded.


    One of them fished out his phone to do the phone call and afterwards, returned to inform me that he already called them.


    Without warning, I listed Tasyra bridal style as we sprinted towards the other side where the car would be waiting.


    Finally, we saved Tasyra. One problem had sessfully been sorted out and I would face the other er.


    We ran faster than usual and thankfully, when we arrived at the side of the road, we saw two cars parked there and I saw Kat highlight one of them.


    She saw me holding Tasyra who wouldn''t stop whimpering from the pain in her leg.


    I saw Kat''s expression change the moment she saw Tasyra.


    "Kat open the door and let''s get the hell out of here!" She nodded and hurriedly went to open the back door.


    I stuffed Tasyra inside as I sprinted to my side of the car and climbed in without dy.


    We sped off before the other guards could approach us with their firearms.


    I drove quickly as well as left the street on the south side and hit the highways.


    It wasn''t until we hit the highways that I breathed.


    Tasyra at the back breathed in and out before she called out to me.


    "Jace..."


    Without looking back, I replied. "Yes, Tasy?"


    "Thank you so much for saving me, I appreciate and I love you."


    Kat suddenly choked on her saliva while I froze in my tracks.


    "Tasy, you aren''t fine now." I said back but she chuckled.


    "I''m serious, Jace. If this bit_ I mean if she didn''t jump to the front seat, would have sat there and given you a good peck." She added and


    tone


    blinked.


    Wasn''t she supposed to be injured and crying her eyes out, knowing the kind of a spoiled princess she is?


    I sighed and didn''t say a word, but not after stealing a nce at Kat who had her fist clenched around her scarf.


    "Jace, I was so scared back there... l


    was also


    thinking about you and you


    came!" She said again as we silently


    drove through the night.


    I released a small smile and nodded.


    "I promised Elder Gridshade toe and save you today, so I''m here now." I said,


    trying not to anger Kat and also anger Tasyra.


    Thinking she would finally be quiet, she said again.


    "Jace, I want to sit in the front seat." I frowned at that and sighed.


    "Kat is al_"


    "Let here to the back." She cut me shut and I frowned deeper.


    Kat couldn''t handle it anymore and directly yelled out.


    "Jace, stop the damn car!"


    I turned to look at her as she red at me.


    I reluctantly stopped the car, in order not to anger her any further.


    Once the car stopped, Kat climbed out of the passenger seat and for a moment, I thought she finally gave in to stay at the back and let asyra stay at the front.


    But what happened next was unexpected.


    Kat pulled open the back door, pulled Tasyra out carefully as Tasyra screamed.


    Kat directly used the scarf in her hand to gag Tasyra''s mouth, muffling her


    screams.


    She also tied up Tasyra''s hand afterwards. I was surprised and stifled augh.


    This has got to be the funniest scene ever in my life.


    Tasyra thrashed around while Kat climbed in and turned to me.


    "Now drive, love."


    Without a second thought, I started the car and stepped on the gas.


    My mate would make a badass Luna for sure!
