Chapter 60
Maxie froze.
She was struggling internally.
On the one side, there was her pride and dignity; yet on the other side, there was her families.
After a painful long pause, she chose the latter and slowly buried her face down to Baron’s shoe.
Baron and Owen crackled with laughter as she did.
Maxie was the strongest female warrior in Riverside Pack. Having her submitted herself beneath their feet gave then a great sense of pleasure.
“See that, Owen?”
Baron leaned back in his chair and chuckled proudly.
“As long as you get the right handle, you can make the strongest warrior wiggle her butt in front of you like a fu cking dog.”
Owen smirked, “You are right, Gamma Baron.”
Baron put his foot on Maxie’s chest and asked, “Why were you talking with Janet before I arrived? What did she want?”
Maxie lowered her head and muttered, “She…heard some rumors and wanted to check on me to see if I am alright.”
“What a nosy bitch!” Baron snarled, “And those rats in the packhouse need to be shaken up a bit. Owen, find out who has been a big mouth to Janet and plucked that person’s tongue out.“!
“Yes, Gamma Baron.”
“But she didn’t ask about the account book?” Baron asked Maxie.
Maxie’s long hair fell from her shoulder and covered her face like a curtain. After a short silence, she slightly shook her head.
“Good.” Baron let out a sigh of relief. “Alpha Daran isn’t very happy with my performance recently. I can’t have him find out about this account book. Or we are going down together. Keep that thing safe, Maxie, and you will be rewarded for your loyalty.”
“…Of course, Gamma Baron.”
Baron rubbed his chin for a while and said to Maxie with a grin, “Now that I think about it—it has been 3 years since you last saw your family. It is probably time for you to go and visit them, don’t you think?”
Maxie snapped her head up.
Her eyes gleamed with thrill and excitement.
“Really? Do you really mean it, Gamma Baron?” she gasped.
“Why not?” Baron smiled idly, “You have been a good dog, Maxie. And it is time for you to get your treat.”
He turned the screen of his phone over to Maxie and showed her an address. It was a place at the suburb.
Maxie grabbed the phone and read the address three times to memorize it.
“Thank you, Gamma Baron…”
Maxie choked, her lips twitching.
“Thank you for letting me meet with my family.”
Baron waved his hand, “Just go and see them. And come back in time for the training tomorrow. But I do need to warn you this–Don’t try to take your family away. That place is heavily guarded.”
“No. Of course not. Thank you so much…”
Maxie scrambled up on her feet and dashed out of the warehouse.
She couldn’t wait to meet with her family again.
She used to have a happy family. Her parents were all civilians, and they lived a comfortable life with her father being a building manager and her mom a teacher at a local school. She had one brother and one sister, both of whom were in elementary school.
Things were perfect.
Until Baron came along and destroyed everything.
Maxie could still remember the day when Baron and his guards burst into their house and abducted her families.
Her parents were forced into the car with their eyes blindfolded.
Her little sister was carried away by 2 men and her devastated screaming still rang in Maxie’s ear even today.
And everything was because of Baron. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She did try to report on Baron. But nobody in the upper society would believe her. They all thought Baron was a righteous man just like his father.
Maxie wanted to talk to Alpha Daran. But Baron kept a closed eye on her and never allowed her to come near to the Alpha.
So there was no one to do her justice.
The only way left for her was to do dirty works for Baron and kept her mouth shut about everything.
And she could handle these, as long as her families were safe.
Maxie ran out of the training field and jumped in her car. She started the engine and raced toward the direction of that location.
The last time they video chatted, her little sister cried about not being fed, which
drove Maxie crazy.
Soon…very soon…she would be able to see her families and make sure they were OK…
Her car arrived at the location an hour later.
And it turned out to be a lumber camp.
Maxie jumped off her car and rushed toward the front gate, almost tripping herself along the way.
In the distance, she saw four very familiar figures.
It was her mom, her dad, her brother, and her little sis.
And the view of them made her heart ache–her aged parents were chopping woods under the surveillance of the guards. They were obviously exhausted but didn’t dare
to rest.
And her younger brother and sister were both carrying logs much heavier than they could handle. The moment they slowed down, they earned a whip on the back from the guard.
“Hustle up, lazy ass!” the guard snapped.
Maxie was devastated.
She picked up her speed running towards them and cried, “NO–Don’t hit them! Please—‘
Her families jerked up and saw Maxie. They gasped a cry of shock and rushed to Maxie as well, all of them in tears.
But they were immediately stopped by the guards.
“What do you think you are doing?” one guard bellowed, “You still haven’t finished your work. Get back to it. NOW!”
Maxie tried to talk some sense into him, “I am here on Gamma Baron’s order. He allowed me to visit my family. Please let me talk to them and I will help them get these works done.”
“And Gamma Baron asked me to keep a closed eye on them! So go back to your work-” the guard wielded his whip making a cracking sound, “-NOW!”
The sound of the whip caused Maxie’s little sister to burst into tears.
Maxie clenched her fists in rage.
She could see wounds and blood stains on her families‘ faces and bodies. And they all seemed haggard as though they had been living in constant fear for the last 3 years.
She couldn’t take it anymore.
“I said ”
Maxie hissed, flashing her wolf fangs.
“-MOVE!”
The guard took a step back in shock and gasped, “I–If you don’t follow the rules, I will report to Gamma Baron! And he will tear you apart!”
Just then, a deafening wolf howl came from the front gate, freezing everyone on their spots.
A gigantic black wolf appeared from the darkness of the night.
Its golden eyes gleamed coldly like two huge lanterns.
And the next second, it charged, quick as a thunder at the guard!
The guard let out a terrified scream and turned to ran. But he got knocked to the ground from the back. The giant wolf landed a paw on his head and trod his face directly into the mud.
The chaos attracted more guards‘ attention. They poured out of the lumber camp with guns and weapons in their hand.
But then they were horrified to discover that this lumber camp was surrounded by a large group of soldiers.
Maxie had rushed to her families and pulled them behind her back.
Turning to look that giant black wolf, Maxie inhaled sharply and gasped in disbelief:
“…A–Alpha?”
The wolf shifted back into a tall and handsome man.
Daran kept his foot on that guard’s neck firmly and nodded to Maxie, “You are safe now.”
Maxie couldn’t believe this sudden turn of event, “I don’t understand…how did you-”
A hand was placed on Maxie’s shoulder. Maxie jerked around and found Janet smiling to her.
“We are here to help you,” Janet said.
