Chapter 389: Sasha Pins Princess

Sasha lifted her right hand slightly, using her telekinesis to unlock and strip the heavy silver chains right off Bambi’s body. The links hit the floor with a loud metallic clatter, freeing her completely from the iron chair.

Everyone in the room went dead silent, holding their breath as they waited for Bambi to open her eyes.

The second her eyelids fluttered open, her pupils flared. Driven by pure wild instinct, she lunged straight forward to attack the very first person standing in front of her, which happened to be Faye.

Princess moved in a flash. Her protective reflex kicked in instantly, her body cutting through the space between them to slam Bambi hard down onto the floor before she could even get a hand on her girlfriend.

"Princess, stop!" Faye yelled, stepping forward.

"What do you mean, stop? She was literally about to hurt you!" Princess growled, her knee planted firmly in the middle of Bambi’s back as she pinned her against the cold ground.

"Let go of me!" Bambi screamed, her jaw snapping as she writhed violently under the weight.

Malo began taking small, slow steps backward, dragging his feet along the floor. He could smell the danger in the air, and every single survival instinct in his body was screaming at him to put as much distance between himself and that wild wolf as humanly possible.

"I am not letting you go until you calm down," Princess hissed, tightening her grip on Bambi’s wrists.

Bambi snarled, planting both palms flat on the ground and violently shoving upward with incredible wolf strength. The sudden burst of power threw Princess backward, breaking her hold completely.

Princess hit the concrete hard, sliding back a few feet before regaining her footing.

Bambi’s eyes were green...

Bambi did not hesitate for a single second. She went full throttle, dropping low and charging straight toward Princess to rip into her again.

"Bambi... stop!" Faye commanded, her voice carrying a heavy, authoritative weight that vibrated through the room.

Instantly, Bambi froze in mid-stride. Her whole body locked up, her chest heaving as the aggressive energy drained from her muscles.

Slowly, almost like a puppet on strings, she turned her head toward the sound of the voice she had just heard.

She blinked her bloodshot eyes, taking a tentative step, and then another, beginning to walk toward Faye.

Princess pushed herself up from the floor, dropping into a stance and preparing to leap forward to tackle Bambi down once again.

"Princess, you stop attacking too," Faye said, not taking her eyes off her new Beta. "This is between me and my Beta."

Princess glared at her, refusing to step back. She wasn’t going to stand by and listen.

Before she could take another step forward, Sasha raised her palm. A wave of telekinetic force slammed into Princess’s front, lifting her off her feet and pinning her flat against the nearest wall, completely immobilizing her arms and legs.

Faye focused entirely on Bambi as the girl stepped closer and closer.

Inside, Faye felt a massive wave of anxiety. Her feet felt frozen like ice, but deep down beneath the fear, she could already feel the raw, invisible bond thrumming between herself and Bambi.

"Bambi Butcher... it’s okay, okay.." Faye said softly, keeping her hands open at her sides. "I’m right here. No one is going to attack you. I won’t let anyone in this room hurt you. Just take a breath and calm down, then let’s talk..."

Bambi kept moving forward, her footsteps dragging across the floor.

Over on the far side of the garage, Malo was biting down hard on the side of his own hand, his knuckles white. The intense pressure in the room was growing so thick it felt almost impossible to breathe.

Princess remained forcefully plastered against the painted wall by Sasha’s invisible force field, unable to move a muscle. Haley cowered directly behind Sasha, wide-eyed with terror, while Kiara stood beside the parked cars looking totally unbothered by the entire chaotic scene.

In fact, Kiara pulled out her phone, tapping the screen and casually taking pictures of her friend being pinned uselessly to the wall.

The second Bambi reached Faye, all the wild aggression drained out of her completely. Her legs buckled, and she dropped heavily to her knees on the cold floor, breaking down into loud, ragged sobs.

Her painful cries echoed through the hollow space of the garage, breaking the thick air, and the unbearable tension that had gripped the room finally started to fade away.

Faye dropped down onto her knees right in front of her, looking into her face.

"Bambi... It’s okay... what is it? What’s wrong?"

"I couldn’t save them... I left them all behind... I left them all alone," Bambi wept, burying her wet face in her trembling hands.

"Who?" Faye asked, placing a calm hand on her shoulder. "Who are you talking about?"

"My siblings... they’re gone because of me. And Kraven..."

"What happened to them? Was Kraven the one who shot you?" Faye asked quickly.

She knew Kraven carried a gun everywhere he went, so her mind immediately jumped to him as the main suspect.

Bambi shook her head back and forth, tears spilling down her cheeks as the words rushed out of her mouth.

She explained how the heavy loan shark who had been breathing down the Butchers’ necks after Butcher had suddenly gone missing in action, leaving Kraven with a tight, running clock to pay off his massive debt. Kraven had spent days running around trying everything to scrape the cash together, even pulling off illegal jobs just to find enough money.

Then, late that night, Bambi received an urgent call from him.

The two of them had gone together to meet the loan sharks in person, bringing whatever cash they had to settle part of the debt and buy some time. But when they arrived at the spot, the loan sharks laughed in their faces and told them they didn’t care about the money anymore.

Instead, they demanded the children. The young kids Bambi and Kraven had been feeding and protecting, the ones Butcher had left behind...

They both refused to hand them over.

To Bambi, those kids were her actual family. Even Kraven, who was originally the guy who picked those children off the street corners and brought them to Butcher to sell, flatly refused to give them up to those monsters.

Kraven had looked at those little kids and saw his own ugly past staring back at him. He remembered how terrifying it felt when he was first dragged to Butcher, and he couldn’t stand the thought of watching them go through that same nightmare.

When they refused to comply, the leader of the loan sharks pulled out a handgun and shot both of them right on the spot. Bambi barely managed to crawl out and escape, leaving Kraven and the kids trapped behind.

Listening to the story, Faye and Malo felt a sudden wave of sharp guilt hit them hard. They couldn’t help but regret how harsh and distant they had been toward her lately. While she was out on the streets desperately hustling and risking her life just to keep little kids alive, they had been sitting back, judging her and making her life ten times harder. Even wasting fuel and shoving money on her.

"Don’t worry about it anymore, Bambi," Faye said, her voice turning firm and decisive. "We are going to go get your siblings back right now. Wipe your tears."

Faye grabbed Bambi by her arms and helped her stand back up on her feet.

Malo immediately rushed over, wrapping his arms around Bambi in a tight, comforting hug, whispering soft words to calm her down, though his eyes kept darting around the room just in case her wolf side decided to snap again.

Faye turned around to check on the rest of the room and noticed that Sasha was still holding her girlfriend flat against the concrete wall with her power.

Princess wasn’t even attempting to fight the pressure anymore. She was just standing there suspended in the air, her face completely blank with a deadpan look.

"Oh, God... Sasha, let her go," Faye said, holding her forehead.

Sasha dropped her arm, instantly breaking the force field.

Princess dropped straight down, hitting the concrete floor with a heavy thud.

Faye hurried over, dropping down beside her.

"Are you okay, Princess?"

"Yes, I’m fine," Princess muttered, pushing herself up and rubbing her sore back while throwing a nasty glare at Sasha. "You Betas are getting really annoying. The least you could have done was ask her to let me down before starting the big tragic backstory."

"Sorry,"

"You are so lucky I’m completely in love with you Faye," Princess grumbled, dusting off her shirt. "Otherwise, there is no way I would have accepted that weak apology."

Faye looked at her, trying to hold her smile.... "So, are you actually coming with us to do this?"

"Of course I am," Princess replied, straightening her clothe. "Dangerous loan sharks and illegal guns, children trafficking? Baby, there is no chance I’m letting you go out there without me."

"Oh, Bambi baby... I missed you so much!" Kiara suddenly piped up. She pushed Malo out of the way without warning and threw her arms tightly around Bambi’s neck.

"After I heard what happened to you, I couldn’t eat a single bite or get any sleep at all. My mind was just spinning, thinking about you nonstop."

"You... actually thought about me?" Bambi muttered, standing totally stiff, completely shocked by the words coming out of Kiara’s mouth.

Even hearing herself being called Bambi baby sounded completely wild to her ears.

"Of course I did," Kiara said, pulling back with a big smile. "Trying to go out and find another girlfriend as good as you would have been a massive headache."

Bambi just stared at her in dead silence, her jaw slightly open.

Faye stood off to the side, staring back and forth between the two of them with an exhausted look on her face.

"Can we please just leave now?" Faye asked, cutting straight through the awkward silence before things got any weirder.

"Come on, Bambi baby," Kiara said, grabbing her arm and walking toward the garage door. "Let’s go get your siblings back."
