Chapter 132
skrkkAlex's POVRK
As we were driving through the city, | saw that Jace's car suddenly veered off and headed towards the south
side. | couldn't help wondering why he was going in that direction.
| glanced at Gage, hoping for sinsights, but he just shrugged.
Was Erika on the south side?
| decided to stay silent and follow them, curious about their destination.
They continued driving without signs of stopping, leaving us wondering where they were going.
Soon, the car pulled over, including the other cars the bodyguards were tailing us with.
| frowned, but still stayed silent until we all highlighted from the car.
| walked over to Jace and raised a brow, which he understood instantly.
"I was once kidnapped and brought here, Erika cto see if Serenity hid here."
He went ahead to explain and realization dawned on me. Erika might as well have been kidnapped.
Knowing this madewonder why Erika would even think of coming here with just one man. She knew just how
and when to be silly.
"What's the way forward?" | asked and he sighed.
"The base is located at the heart of the forest. It's actually a small base, nothing compared to the one she owned
in Avenir City." He explained again. | nodded in understanding as he led the way to the supposed heart of the
forest.
The floor was completely covered in twigs and leaves due to the winter season. As we walked on them wearing
our boots, they made sounds, creating a crunching melody beneath our feet.
We walked for a while before arriving at the base.
Carefully, we raided the place searching for any clue to where they might have taken Erika to.
The entire place was messy and | noticed traps in every corner even before Jace informed us about them.

We searched the entire place but still found nothing after searching for a while.
The bodyguards with us even went ahead to raid the bushes behind, but still nothing.
We saw the car tire prints on the floor, but after tracing it for a while, it led to nowhere.
"This is a big problem!" Jace sighed in frustration and ran a hand through his hair. "If the people find out that the
Alpha of the Ironclaw Pack have been abducted, this would be a big problem to the entire pack. It would cause a
war to break out too." He lamented and | understood his point.
Indeed, a missing Alpha was equivalent to the downfall of a pack.
Just as we stayed there thinking of what to do next, my phone beeped and | went ahead to pull it out.
Checking the screen, | saw a text from an unknown number as well as a link attached to the message. A frown
formed on my face, but | went ahead to open it.
What | saw next in that link made my hand tremble and my heart hammered in my ribcage.
"Jace!" | subconsciously yelled out and he cto look into my phone, curious to know why | screamed.
When he looked down at the phone and saw what was being displayed on the screen, a gasp of horror left his
mouth, including Gage's.
Right on the screen of my phone, was of Erika seemingly tied at a mountain and held out on a cliff, which meant
that if the rope cuts, Erika would directly fall to her death.
She was gagged as she glared at the camera that was used to record her.
"What the hell?!" Jace yelled, his hand also trembling as he force ran it through his hair.
"Who knows that cliff?" | asked, glancing at both Gage and Jace. Jace shook his head, "I don't know the cliff."
"I know the cliff." Gage accepted and my heart leapt with joy.
"Take us there now!" | demanded and rushed over to the car, but Gage called my attention back.
"There's no need to take the car, the cliff is just a few walks from here."
| frowned at that, a few walks from here?
"Can you take us there?" Jace asked him as his voice shook with Emotions.
Gage nodded and gestured towards the part we had to take. This journey of ours seemed so funny and unreal,
but we had to journey it for Erika's sake.
We trailed off towards the north, since the south was where the base was located.
The journey took a while as we kept walking, | glared at Gage once in a while each the said we still had a few
minutes to arrive. We have been walking for the goddess knows how long and he still said a few minutes to
arrive.
Thankfully, the weather changed and the snow fell heavier, signaling that indeed, we were getting closer to our
destination. From the video clip, could see that the snow was falling heavier in the location where Erika was
gagged and tied up.
Finally, we reached the top of the cliff where | saw in the video.
Lo and behold, Erika was indeed there, tied up and dangling.
But the funniest thing was, for someone who was tied up and was dangling from
the cliff, she wasn't showing any fear. Her gaze was sharp and angry as she glared in a particular direction.
"Erika!" Jace yelled out her nand tried to run towards her. But she shook her head continuously, telling him
not to cany closer.
He seemed not to have understood the gesture because he continued moving towards her. That was when
something happened.
He stepped on something that actually electrocuted Erika who was apparently tied up with cables.
Seeing her convulse uncontrollably until Jace moved his leg, my heart shattered and | felt my blood run cold in
anger.
How could Seren do this to her?
Elijah was thrashing around, trying to get closer to her and help her off those cables.
The cold and the cables would go a long way to causing her lots of damage.
| looked down, thinking it was just
the location where Jace had
stepped on that had the button that could trigger the electrocution again, so | decided to take a step as well. But
when | took a step forward, | saw Erika shake her head at the stshe was electrocuted again.
Seeing her convulse again, madeconvulse for sunknown reason. "Fuck! We have to get her out of
there!" Jace yelled as tears pulled in his eyes.
"Not so fast!" We heard a voice say from behind and we all turned to see Serenity, sitting at the top of the other
mountain top with a microphone in hand.
She chuckled, seeing the look of shock that flashed in our eyes.
If anyone had toldthat she would be this evil, | would never believe it. Serenity used to be such a nice and
caring person, nothing like the demon she became. "She was never nice or caring, quit that thought!" Elijah
chanted in disdain. "Serenity, what's the meaning of all these?!" | asked, loud enough to wake a mountain bear if
there was any.
She laughed again and shook her head.
"It's just a little show | put up for you, love." She replied and | frowned. She called torturing a show?
We watched her slowly climb down from the mountain with two men following
behind her with a gun, probably with silver bullets.
She cto stand just a few meters away from where we stood.
"Surprised, right?" She asked and I blinked.
"Serenity, are you crazy?! Why would you do this to Erika when it was just the
things of your fathers in the past? Why would you treat her like she committed a huge crime?!"
A frown made its way to her face this time...
"You think she is innocent?"
"Yes."
"Lies! Erika is not innocent!" She shook her head.
"Then what the fuck did she do to you?!" Jace asked in anger, clenching and
unclenching his fist.
"Erika killed my brother!"
