Chapter 95

Shackled (The Lord Series)

95. Stefan I rush down the stairs. “I will take you to the best hospital in country, and the doctors will Ex whatever was done to you.” I tell her as I get out of the Sellin A tracker is in my right hand, so Cirro can see where I am at any moment. As we planned, the moment need to disappear.

his van, he locks the facility, buying I take off my t-shirt and put it on Emily.

Cirro’s eyebrows shoot up as he sees Emily in my arms. “What the hell? Emily? Wasn’t the dead? What about Angelica?

F uck! Angel. I forgot all about her. My demon snarls inside my head, letting me know how displeased he is with me. Guilt washes over me, but I push it to the side “Angel is not here,” I lie. I stroke Emily’s hair. “Apparently, Emily was alive all this time. Her death was a setup.”

Cirro asks as he drives a away.

Now that Emily is back, Alakes and Reyes will forget all about Angel, and we can finally be happy and have the family we always wanted.

“Take us to the hospital.”

I hold Emily in my arms and murmur to her how much I missed her, how much everyone in the house missed her. That, once she is well, she will be the Lady of the house, and she can arrange the Lair as she likes it. She so bs quietly as she listens to me.

Cirro drives fast, and an hour later, he parks in front of the hospital, and 1 rush Emily to the ER. Questions are asked as doctors take Emily from me. I answer what I can while the gaps are filled in by Emily-a nurse was kind enough to cut the stitches from her mouth.

When Emily is taken to surgery-because her pus sy was also sewn shut-I finally call Alekos “Can you and Beyes come to the hospital near the Blood Lodge?” I ask, wanting to g to be with my blood-brothers in this difficult time.

“Did something happen? Is Angel well? That’s why she didn’t call?”

Why the f uck is be asking about Angel? “I already bold you she left. Didn’t you read the message I sent on the chat group?”

hy are you in the hospital?

“thought she returned.” Alekos sounds...heartbroken. “Why are you “I found Emily It was not her body that we buried. It was a setup from the Dukes. She is in bad shape, but she will make it. The doctors are operating on her right.

Several seconds pass without Alekos saying a word. “Emily? Are you sure?”

“You think I would not recognize the woman I love?

Another second of silence. “Reyes and I are out looking for Angel. His demon is enraged and won’t calm until Angel is found, but I can come to be with “Thanks,” I say before ending the call.

Wanting to kill time until Alekos arrives, I log into my work computer via my phone. After Angel used my laptop without my permission, I made sure to always have access to my electronics from my phone. It is incredible how far technology has come.

The program checking the pen drive has finished scanning it and found no malware or viruses, so I check what’s on it. There are two main folders-one for the Lords and the other for the Dukes- each containing hundreds of folders. Each folder is dedicated to one person. They contain info and photos of both men and women. Some of the names ring a bell, as they are of the Lords’ children who have disappeared in the past twenty years, or blood-brothers, or single Lords or Dukes daughter.

There is a folder with Angel’s name and one for Emily, and I open it. There are countless pictures of Emily from before and after we started dating. There are photos after her supposed death as well, and I look at them. Seeing her covered in bruises, her eyes full of sadness, makes me want to kill all the Dukes, starting with those who hurt her.
