Chapter 458
458-No Pain, No Gain
“That’s worrisome,” I mumbled, stroking my chin and sitting on the bench for thest few minutes. After
Kellice told me the mother witch had gone missing, I couldn’t help but connect the dots between the
disappearances.
“You seem too distraught over her disappearance. Is there anything we should know about?” Kellice
asked, standing in front of me.
“My brother is missing too,” I whispered. “The two of them were the only ones trying to help me during
the time when I was in misery,” I said, and I raised my head to watch Kellice look a little more worried
this time.
“So somebody is only kidnapping those who love and care for you?” Kellice nodded as she realized it
was all about me.
“I better hire guards,” said Theo, who had no clue when to joke. He rubbed his arms over his biceps
and pretended to be afraid.
“Don’t worry. No fool would want to kidnap a nuisance like you,” Kellice said as she stepped back.
“How about we make a list of people who can gain from hurting Enya?” Kellice said, grabbing a little
notepad from her purse and clicking her pen to work.
“Alpha King Corbin,” I shrugged as his name appeared first in my mind, “but what is he going to gain by
hurting me? It is not like I am on his way to anything,” I frowned, as it didn’t make any sense.
“Oh! And Valerie maybe, but—,” I paused when I gave it a thought, “not anymore. I left Lazlo for her, so
why would she want to hurt me?” My shoulders slouched once again as another name left the list of
people who could gain something by hurting me.
“Christina!” It was Theo who said her name. “She hates you because her mate ims to love you.” I
admired how Theo was careful with his words. He wasn’t too sure himself if Maynard truly ever loved
me or if was he just under the impression that he does.
“She is a daughter of that witch who was wronged by Enya’s mother. What was her name again?” Theo
snapped his fingers, making us silently watch him say it himself, “Emelia!”
My body felt instant goosebumps covering my skin. Indeed! Christina had been the only consistent
person whose hatred for me never changed. Although she tried to make it seem like she was on good
terms with me, that didn’tst for too long as she revealed her true colors very soon.
“But she cannot do it all alone. She must be getting any sort of help,” I said, brushing my fingers
through my hair in confusion.
“Why don’t you leave that on me? I will do my best to find out what is going on with this Christina girl,”
Kellice stated, and after that, she gave me a smile.
“I am sorry for attacking you emotionally. I need to make sure you get your wolf back, which you should
have had when Theo arrived,” she frowned at her own words, “I don’t understand why your wolf didn’t
wake up.” She tilted her head and kept staring at my face, but she was not looking at anything in
particr; she was zoned out.
“I don’t understand either. Maybe when I used all that magic, I identally put my wolf into a deep
slumber?” I asked, and she nodded to my theory.

“That’s exactly what happened, but your wolf was supposed to wake up when Theo came back. It is
like something is holding Nia back.” She let out a sigh, as too many things now needed her attention.
“We better hurry because soon Enya will challenge Corbin for the crown,” Theo mumbled, ying with
the keychain hanging down Kellice’s bag.
We stared at him and then at each other.
“Don’t look at me like thesedies; I am only here for one of you,” he said as he raised his head and
pointed at me.
Kellice’s forehead furrowed as she kept looking into his face.
“I know how we can get Enya’s wolf back.” It was then that Kellice snapped her fingers and rolled her
sleeves up.
I was not sure what she was up to, but it didn’t look like a painless idea to me.
“What is it?” The instant Theo heard my name and that a n was being made, he rushed before me to
block me from
Kellice’s vision.
“I am only going to help her get her wolf. No need to be all defensive,” Kelliceined when Theo
didn’t step aside and reveal me to Kellice.
“You have discussed any ns you make about Enya first. I am not letting you just initiate a n
without exining anything to me,” Theo stubbornly stood there, refusing to walk away.
So far, he has made it very clear that he doesn’t care about listening to anyone but me. His
mannerisms with J and Kellice were the same. They acted like frenemies.
“Theo! You don’t want me to attack her emotionally, then physical is the only option left with us.” She
sounded annoyed with Theo for always interrupting her ns. I got up from the bench and walked out
from behind Theo.
“No pain, no gain,” Kellice stated, but Theo shook his big head again.
“I do not agree with this. Find a peaceful and less painful way,” he insisted, and it made Kellice
exhausted.
“We have to take a minor risk, Theo,” she argued. However, my mind was stuck on something she had
said not even two minutes ago.
“No pain, no gain,” I repeated her words, making them stop arguing and turn to look at me.
“You mean triggering me?” I asked, and she nodded, making sure Theo didn’t snap at her.
“That’s what he said when he introduced something into my body,” I recalled the night when Corbin had
injected me with something.
I was such a fool for never bringing it up until now. Itpletely slipped out of my mind.
“Excuse me? What did he introduce into your body? And who did that?” Kellice was the one
questioning me because Theo was busy rolling up his sleeves and getting ready to pounce on
someone.
“Alpha King Corbin injected some liquid into my body forcefully before he pushed me down the stairs,” I
stated, realizing he definitely had a n.
