I felt Vivian wanted to run after him . Her wolf must be howling from the inside , Xavier was her Alpha all along . But after only a few steps , someone tripped her and she fell to the ground , followed by booming laughter from above , which sent shivers down her spine . A bunch of rogues . She still wanted to run , but her ankle seemed to be sprained . Her wolf whimpered . Mer It hurt terribly as soon as she tried to stand up , so she just crawled towards the door , determined to escape this place no matter what , or else a nightmare awaited her . And those rough men were like a pack of vicious dogs . Standing to the side , drooling , their eyes seemed to be toying with their prey , following behind unhurriedly . When she almost crawled to the door , they dragged her back again , repeating this back and forth , until they got tired of playing . Only then did they pin her down . Then they set up a howlnet recorder nearby . " Let me go !! " Vivian struggled with all her might . One of the men slapped her hard , spat on her face , and said , " Behave yourself , it's not like you haven't been blood - bonded before , why pretend to be a chaste she - wolf ? Pfft ! " The person lying on the ground was beaten senseless . She had already been drinking fire whiskey , and now her head was buzzing , everyone looked like a double image . And as soon as the howlnet turned on , the nightmare began . That group of men ripped off her clothes , then each unbuckled their own belts . Without any foreplay , they went straight in , one after another , treating the person beneath them as a tool for their urges , without any emotion . But Vivian couldn't bear the impact . Her wolf was screaming . Her instinctive moans were continuous ; this was the first time she felt shame and helplessness . It wasn't until midnight that the muffled groans abruptly stopped . Vivian was utterly disheveled , like a piece of rags thrown into a cellar , her entire body feeling like it was falling apart , unable to move at all , until she finally passed out . When she woke up again , the sky was just barely brightening . Full moon was receding . But she wasn't in the cellar ; instead , she had been taken to that abandoned dock . The rogues were relentless . It was a chilling repeat of what had happened before . But this time , it was her turn to choose . As soon as Vivian opened her eyes , she saw her father hanging in the middle of the sea , while her mother was tied hand and foot , lying 5.5 % < Chapter 16 on the ground still unconscious . " Dad ? Mom ?! " She called out hoarsely . Her wolf whimpered . The effects of the drug on Mr. and Mrs. Bennett had just worn off , and they were startled when they groggily opened their eyes . " Vivi , save me ! " Menu Edward Bennett was terrified by the waves below him , trembling uncontrollably , while Grace was so scared she couldn't even speak , crying helplessly . Just then , Xavier appeared from behind . My own wolf snarled . He stood watching , his face a mask of indifference , then unhurriedly walked up to Vivian , looking down at her : " One choice out of two , do you want to save your sire , or save your dam ? " Vivian looked up , her eyes full of tears . She hadn't expected Xavier to be so ruthless ; punishing her was one thing , but now he wouldn't even spare She had thought he was an angel , but he was actually a devil . her parents . " Alpha Sinclair ... " She crawled a few steps , grabbed Xavier's pant leg , and begged humbly : " Alpha Sinclair , I was wrong , I can go apologize to Celeste , but please , please let my parents go , don't hurt them . " " Apologize ? " Xavier sneered . His wolf was unimpressed . Then he said with extreme disdain : " Don't go and dirty Celeste's eyes , I will personally go to her , but before I go , I need to give her an explanation . " " And you ! You won't get away with owing anything . " Xavier kicked her away . He asked indifferently : " Tell me , which one ? " Vivian shook her head vigorously . How could she possibly choose ? They were her biological parents ; although she had despised them before , blood was thicker than water after all , and she had to save both of them . Seeing that she was slow to make a decision . Xavier chuckled , saying sarcastically , " Is it hard to choose ? Since you won't choose , then I'll choose for you . " As soon as he finished speaking , he made a gesture . Grace was instantly surrounded by raging flames , and the ropes suspending Edward were cut , sending him plunging into the sea , just like the scene she and Celeste had encountered back then . Vivian's eyes turned bloodshot . " No !! "
