Celestial Queen: Revenge Is Sweet When You’re A Zillionaire Heiress

Chapter 1558:

Rita found herself at a loss. She turned to Lionel for guidance. But Lionel had no time to think of anything beyond surviving. Five wolves had surrounded him, and he was in imminent danger.

“Watch out!” Rita’s heart skipped a beat as she noticed a gray wolf creeping up behind Lionel. She called to Mooney, ready to join him in breaking through to rescue Lionel.

Hearing Rita’s warning, Lionel acted quickly, spinning around. But at that moment, the gray wolf lunged at him with terrifying speed.

The wolf had planned this attack to perfection. Even though Lionel anticipated the strike and tried to evade it, he only managed to turn his head, avoiding the wolf’s initial bite.

The five wolves circling Lionel found an opening in the chaos, their eyes locking on him as they hunted for the perfect moment to strike. Once again, the two sides found themselves at a standstill, the tension thick in the air.

Then, with a sudden, sharp howl, the alpha wolf—who had remained eerily still—sprang into action. It moved like lightning, its speed and power unstoppable, a force of nature unleashed.

Lionel was still trapped in the tightening grip of the wolves, unable to dodge. As his mind raced for a way out, the alpha wolf was already closing in.

In an instant, the alpha wolf’s massive jaw was wide open, aiming for his neck.

Lionel’s eyes widened in terror. With all his strength, he grabbed the alpha wolf’s head, the last shred of his resistance.

But at that very moment, the other wolves seized their chance, sinking their teeth into his legs. Lionel found himself in a deadly bind.

The soldiers, caught in their own skirmishes nearby, felt their hearts freeze at the sight. It seemed like Lionel was a goner—but they were too far gone in their own battles to come to his aid. Panic and concern danced across their faces.

“Lionel, hold on! I’m on my way!” Rita called out, her voice edged with desperation. She was the closest, and she knew she had the best shot at reaching Lionel.

No sooner had she spoken, another voice rang out, “I’ve got your back, Rita! Hold tight, Lionel!”noveldrama

Lionel’s legs were being savaged, his grip slipping with each passing second. He was running on empty, the thought of sacrificing himself to give others a chance to escape haunting him. But just as he prepared for the inevitable, the sharp crack of three gunshots echoed through the air. Each bullet found its mark, hitting the wolves that had him pinned down.

The alpha wolf, sensing the danger, hesitated. It stole a glance at Lionel before retreating quickly, disappearing into the shadows along with the rest of the pack.

The very next moment, a thick rope dropped from the towering tree nearby. The alpha wolf, massive and heavy, was caught by the rope and dragged back with brutal force.

Seeing their leader captured, the remaining wolves, sensing the power shift, halted their attacks and began to retreat in the direction of the alpha wolf.

With the immediate danger over, Lionel, ever the leader, barked out the command, “Retreat to the entrance of the courtyard, now!” He understood the stakes. Even if they defeated the wolves, pursuing them would be a deadly gamble. As the one in charge, he could not afford to risk it.

The soldiers watched, wide-eyed, as the alpha wolf was hauled away. Then, a man dropped from the towering tree, his landing smooth and deliberate. The soldiers, frozen in shock, could hardly believe their eyes. Wasn’t that Harlee’s husband?

They’d seen him before during training. In idle chats, they’d dismissed him as just a powerful-looking man playing the part of the trophy husband. But now, this so-called “trophy husband” had singlehandedly subdued the alpha wolf and dragged it back like it was a simple task. And he’d fired those three shots with deadly precision.
