I call out.
She won’t deny me.
Silence follows from inside, and I frown as Jai continues to grumble, rubbing his elbow where he had banged it when he sprang back like a fucking idiot.
“Val?”
I call. I glance at the door, suddenly feeling uneasy.
Why isn’t she answering?
“Valerie! Open the door!”
I say, now more urgently, knocking harder.
No reply.
I’m about to speak when I hear a faint creak of someone walking inside.
Something’s wrong.
“Move,”
I say to Jai before I back away as much as I can.
Counting to three, I run at the door, slamming my shoulder into it with full force, ripping the door right off its hinges. It falls to the ground with a resounding thud, and I stare at the window right across. The very same window that we could see from downstairs, only now it’s standing wide open, the curtains blowing gently in the wind.
“The fuck Seb, a little aggressive don’t you think?”
“Valerie!”
I shout as I rush into the room and scan it.
Where is she?
“Sebastian!”
Jai snaps.
“I heard footsteps, Jai. Something’s not right,”
I mutter as we both scan the open living area.
His face has paled, and I can hear his heart pounding as he rushes to the kitchen area.
I’m trying not to let that unease grow as I push open her bedroom door, not bothering to knock andstop dead in my tracks. The stench of blood hits my nose as Jai slams into me from behind at my abrupt stop.
My heart thuds violently as I stare at the scene before me.
It’s right out of a horror movie.
Blood covers the floor and the bedsheets. A sign of a scuffle is obvious from the mess and the way the bedding is dragged off and covered in blood and right in the middle of the room is none other than Valerie.
She’s face down on the floor, lying in a huge pool of blood. The back of her blond hair is a bloodybludgeoned mess and beside her, a hammer is on the floor, covered in blood…
SEBASTIAN.
“Valerie!”
I rush to her side, my heart in my throat. “FUCK!”
“Val…”
Jai’s voice is barely a whisper. Both of our hearts are like galloping horses, thundering loudly in my ears, but my only concern is the heartbeat of the woman before me.
Please be alive.
“Fuck Val… shit,”
I mutter, leaning closer.
The faint sound of a heartbeat reaches my ears and I scoop her up quickly, my heart filling with relief.
“She’s alive, Jai! Take her to the hospital now!”
I shout.
As much as I would do it myself, it means the footsteps I heard belonged to the attacker. They could be nearby.
Why was she targeted and by who?
“Jai! Her life depends on you! Go! I’ll call the hospital.”
I growl, making him snap out of his trance.
“Right…”
he whispers, taking her lifeless body from me.
“Run,”
I command, taking out my phone and dialling the hospital. “Go!”
Jai nods, his eyes flashing with determination before he turns and breaks into a run towards the door.
You have got to make it…
“Hello, Opal Hospital-“
“Sebastian King. We have a critical patient on the way. Doctor Valerie Scott has suffered blunt force trauma to the head and needs attending to immediately. Beta Jai O’Dell is bringing her. Make sure she survives.”
My command is absolute as the woman hangs up, and I take a moment to calmmyself.
I can hear Jai’s footsteps as he runs down the hall and I glance around the bedroom, making sure no one is here. I try to listen for any other presence but there’s nothing. Exiting the room, I close the door behind me, scanning the main room.
My gaze snaps to the window. Did they jump?
Swiftly I move to it, my eyes blazing as I scan the ground below. Wouldn’t we have heard it?
Nothing.
I sniff the air trying to catch a scent, but the only thing I can smell is cleaning products, blood, perfume, and her diffuser…
Whoever was here knew what they were doing.
Clicking the first number on speed dial on my phone, I call the Pack Security Squad Captain.
“Alpha.”
Captain Silas William’s voice comes.
“I need a complete lockdown of sector three, and the apartment blocks and block the exits all around the area, including the park entrances. There’s been an attempted murder and I want the culprit found. Get the forensics into Valerie Scott’s apartment too. There might be some clues leftbehind.”
“Understood.”
He hangs up and I’m about to head to the door when I think I hear something. I stop, my gaze snapping back to the bedroom before I glance at the bathroom door that is right beside it.
Or did it come from there?
I’m not sure…
My eyes flash as I cross the room swiftly. There’s the window in the bedroom, although it’s quite a drop… the bathroom one leads to the side of the apartment.
Hesitating, I move towards the bathroom silently, I reach for the door handle, when suddenly I hearmovement from inside.
I pull the door only to realise it’s locked.
Fuck!
Backing up, I slam into it with full force, knocking it off its hinges.
I can hear shouts from the hallway. All the banging has woken up the neighbours, but I don’t reallycare.
I scan the small bathroom, and I growl, seeing the scuff of blood on the window ledge.
Fuck!
Running over to it, I look out to see a hooded figure running along the bottom of the apartment block. The shadows hide them, and the ledges of the building hide them from view, making it harder for me to make out their build.
