<h4>Chapter 456: 456-Expecting Rescue And Much More</h4>


    <strong>Clementine:</strong>


    I coughed again as I felt my body giving up. I was being dragged after being given a heavy amount of wolfsbane to some unknown ce. During the car ride, I kept passing out and waking up. During that time, I had the feeling that this would be thest time I would ever open my eyes to the pleasant world, or if the world had ever been pleasant at all.


    When I woke up again, I was in another vehicle. It seemed they had changed vehicles, but why? Why was the road never ending? I was still in the car, and I had no clue how many days had passed, or if only a few hours had gone by. I had lost track of time by this point.


    "We will stay here for another few hours," I heard the driver, wearing a full ck ski mask, tell the guard beside him.


    Both of them had ski masks on, and whenever they spoke to each other, they never said each other’s names.


    "Why is that? Why are we avoiding certain roads?" The driver requested an answer.


    "A lot of chaos started, and her mates are looking for her." The moment he said that, I almost felt as if he had breathed life into my body again.


    While I was still very much passed out, they carried me into what I could recall as the basement of a motel. I could tell it was a motel because the owner definitely knew I was being shipped by the council leaders. They tied me in chains, but after some time, I started to wake up and realized they were dodging whatever parade my mates were holding to find me.


    I could not say much about the others, but I knew there was one person who was going crazy looking for me.


    "Ian!" I whispered his name as I woke up, my hands tied in chains against the wall, shackles around my feet.


    I was left alone in the basement, but there was an uneasiness inside me, and it was not from the wolfsbane in my system. I felt nauseous. Maybe it was because I had been in a car for a very long time, but I did not know. I had never felt this way before. My head hurt too. I constantly had the urge to throw up, and I did a few times on the side. I still had to sit right next to it, which made me feel even worse.


    After some time, the guard and the driver came back and stepped downstairs. They realized I was in a very bad state.


    "Oh my God. Look, do you see that?" the driver remarked, his hands on his waist, as the guard pulled out yet another needle to inject me with wolfsbane.


    "Do not do too much. We are not supposed to hurt her, you know," the driverined.


    "It is just wolfsbane," the warrior replied, the tip of the needle almost piercing my skin.


    "I said do not," the driver argued again, snapping the needle away.


    "You know, she is crazy, right? She can beat up monsters. If we did not give her wolfsbane, she would go crazy on us too," the warrior insisted, making me feel disgusted.


    They were afraid of a girl to the point that even with guns on them, they still had to give me wolfsbane just to make sure I could not fight back.


    "Trust me, I do not think she can fight anyone right now. She is in that phase where her wolf has gone to sleep," hemented.


    I started to wonder what he meant by that. Had they injected something into me? Had they killed my wolf? That could not be true. But then I noticed it. I had not been able to hear my wolf, even when I woke up for short moments here and there.


    "I do not know what you are talking about, man," the warrior replied. He made sure I was still in silver chains as he started to untie them from the wall.


    "Trust me, whoever bought her is going to buy a lot of diapers and baby form," the driver added in a gossipy tone.


    As soon as he said that, my heart sank in my chest. What the fuck was he talking about? What did that mean? Even the guard had the same reaction as me.


    "You did not see her. She has been throwing up the entire way. My wife just got pregnantst month, and she went through the same phase," the driver spoke softly to the warrior as he held the chains and tried to drag me along.


    "Wait, let me go," I pleaded, suddenly starting to resist.


    The two turned to me and then looked at each other.


    "Dude, why did you have to speak?" the warrior snapped, hitting the man on the chest with the back of his hand.


    "Come on, let’s go," he urged.


    They started to drag me by the chains, and I resisted as hard as I could, but my body felt very uneasy. I did not have a sense of direction, and I could only tell it was because they had injected so much into me. And of course, something was going on in my body, but was I really pregnant? Could it be Ian and my love child?


    Tears ran down my face as I realized that happiness would mean nothing, because I did not even know who had bought me or what my buyer’s intentions were toward me.


    The next thing I knew, they dragged me outside. The sun hit my eyes hard, but before I could even think about my next step, I was thrown into yet another car. This time, the car looked different, and there was someone else waiting inside for me.


    "Hello, the best of best crusader," the man greeted.


    As he took his shades off, I gasped at the sight of him. There was a crooked smile on the old man’s face, and his eyes carried a sense of craziness.


    "We are going to have so much fun. You will be really, really happy at my ce," the old man told me, his smile widening and finally reaching his eyes.


    I recognized him, and that was the scariest part about him.
