Chapter 18

Masha

"What are you doing here?" An angry voice asked behind me.

Turning around I saw Jess fuming angrily while he glares at me. I guess I deserve that but it still shock me. I know I am the one who run away, but I have a good reason to do that.

At least that's what I'm aware of...

"I want to see Lo.." I answer, timidly.

Jess scoff, not removing his angry eyes from me. "And what for? To hurt him again! I think you've done enough damage! I don't care if your my brother's mate or not! Just leave and don't come back!!"

"Enough, Jess. You don't know the whole truth, so I suggest you to go back with your siblings I will handle Masha.." A stern looking Josh, came at us.

"But its not fair! Lo, is in critical condition because of him!!" Jess screech angrily, while Darrel suddenly appear and drag him towards the others.

I smile at Darrel when he looks at my way, but he didn't acknowledge my presence and he simply walks away.

Even Lo's mother or even Kia and honestly I can feel their anger as it almost transparent around them, as they look at me hatefully.

"Don't worry about them, they just don't know what truly happened between the two of you. And Lo can't really say what's the true reason behind your sudden disappearance, because he don't want to inform them about the truth about you."

I just shrugged my shoulders.. I guess that's understandable, Lo is someone who's like that...

Silence envelop us, as Josh led me towards Lo's room. And like what the news reported before, Josh inform me that there's really no improvement on his condition.

I suddenly stop when we came in the door, while I tug Josh arm and motion him to be silent. Slowly I took out my gun. That almost make Josh scream if I am fast enough to cover his mouth.

Glaring at him, I turn my eyes at the door again. And like I thought, there's something strange about it.

The door is not lock, and there's a strange looking wire tied on the door knob.

Without hesitation I push the door hard and roll on the ground. There's a strange sound echoed throughout the whole room, and my heart skip a beat when I saw a man wearing a nurse outfit holding a knife ready to plunge it in Lo's chest.

"Stop!" Josh scream out to the guy, but the man just smirk at him and bring his knife down, ready to strike..

My adrenaline shoot off while I move speedily, I heard a lot of foot steps but my eyes are seeing red and with a swift motion I remove the safety lock of my gun. I aim, and take a shot.

The man yelp in pain, as he drop the knife on the ground while he clutches his bleeding wrist with his other hand.

I run towards him and kick the knife away, while I force him on his knees and point my gun on his head.

"Who order you to do this?!" I demand coldly.

My blood is boiling, while I feel this itch to kill this man.

"Its enough, Masha.." Josh suddenly state while he holds my shoulder.

I shook my head, and tighten my grip on the gun on my hand. "No, it won't! Until I don't see any justice for Lo, I will not rest while the person who did this is killed!" I sneer.

"Whoa?!" Someone called out from the door, but I didn't turn my head as my eyes remain to guy whimpering on his knees in front of me.

He is crying pathetically as he clutch his wounded wrist tightly on his chest, while his body trembles from so much fear.

Suddenly my phone rings, breaking the awkward silence all over the room.

I hastily fish it out from my pocket and answered. "Do you have news?"

"Excited much!!" Toni exclaim playfully, but I just growl at him.

"I don't have time for your jokes anymore, just answer the question!" I snarl angrily.

"Tsk, okay..okay..geez as always so rude. Well, I have something in here. Do you want me to send the whole info?"

I grit my teeth, and tightened my grip on the phone. "Just tell me directly."

I heard him sigh, "I see, there is a guy there. An asian one right? Age 30 to early 40's? With a butterfly tattoo in his right hand?" He ask.

I frown and look closely at the man kneeling in front of me, "Yeah...how do you know that?"

"Tsk! They're fast! Well Little guy, I need you to take out that Louis guy from that hospital.. There is someone who put a bounty in his head and quite honestly a billion dollar is enough to alert every killers in the Underworld.."

My mind swirl, while my body shook. "What do you mean?!" I screech angrily.

"I don't want to burst your bubble honey, but it seems there is someone who hated that guy of yours.. And quite frankly I didn't know that you're a mate of a werewolf..you didn't even tell me! Geez, when are you getting married? Invite me okay,...and yeah the boss also send his regards..and can't you believe it his giving you the okay to kill that Asian dude....huh? Sorry about that, I'm just talking to someone..., And I just confirm that the guy your about to kill..the Asian dude.. is in our list, so apparently its okay to take him out.."

I blink my eyes, and shake my head. "Wait, just wait a minute.. How did you know that Lo is a werewolf?" I ask, confusedly.

Toni just laugh, "Well, sorry Masha..but our agency has deep connection with the Supernatural.. And we know a lot about them..but enough talking dear.. It seems you really need to go..Hunter is already on the move.."

"What the fuck?!" I snarl, angrily. "Hunter?! Oh God..."

"Yeah.., that guy is a total nut case!"

I huff tiredly, "Okay..then can you send some cleaners here.. I'm sure you know where am I right?"

"Already done, darling.."

"And please find this person who put a bounty on Lo.. "

"Noted.."

Then I hung up, and put it back in my pocket.

I look down at the man in front of me, he's still trembling and quite frankly I feel sorry for him. For someone who has the same job as me, he's still an amateur. But he did something unforgivable.

I click the trigger, and jump when someone shouted my name.

"What the fuck is happening here?!" Ms. Leny, Lo's mother ask with a shocked face.

Kia, Jess and Darrel are also there with pale faces while they look at me fearfully. Moving my head to Josh, I saw him sweating hard while he looks at me nervously.

"I will tell you everything, but for now we need to transfer Lo to a much safer place."

Josh suddenly stood up but grimace when he saw the Asian guy on the floor bathing with his own blood, and with a hole on his head.

"What do you mean?" He ask, worriedly.

I huff and sat down at Lo's bed, while I gaze at the man that have been occupying my mind for these past days. "There is someone who put a bounty on Lo's head and I'm still working on who is it. But right now, a friend of mine warned me that there is someone who's coming to finish the job that this other guy hadn't finished."

Ms. Leny become pale when I finished explaining, even Lo's siblings.

"It must be a joke.. " She exclaimed, while shaking her head with unbelieving eyes.

"I really hope so ma'am but sadly it's not. Everything is all true." I state, seriously.

"How can you see that it's true? What if it's you who wanted to kill him, after you learned that he is a werewolf.. That we all are!" Kia snarl, through gritted teeth.

I want to answer back but the window glass suddenly cracks. Whirling my head, my eyes widen while I speedily run towards Lo, and move his bed on the other side where there is no window. I can hear someone screaming and taking a look around, I saw the others on the floor crawling to our side.

The bullet proof glass completely shatters from so much intensity. Fishing my riffle on the bag I took it out, and ready to go and shoot the bastard who relentlessly shooting at us when I suddenly stop by a familiar voice behind me.

"Ugh.., what's going on?? Eh, Masha??"

Tears flow from my eyes, and everything just become blur to me. I stood up and hobble towards him. But when I grew impatient I start running and jump at his arms.

"Lo!!"
