Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight
Chapter 604 Baited
By the time their plane touched down at Yalvaria’s capital, dawn had just begun to break over the horizon.
Michael led them through the quiet airport with practiced case, guiding them to a secure safehouse near the regional division of the medical organization–a modest apartment outfitted with state–of–the–art security, personally configured by Lina. Its concealment was flawless.
“Rest for the day. Tomorrow at nine sharp, the council will send someone to escort me to headquarters,” Michael said, taking off his glasses and rubbing his brow. “You two will come with me. Lina stays here.”
The innermost sectors of the Wolf Medical Organization’s HQ were restricted to those with special clearance. Despite Lina’s talents, she hadn’t been entered into the system’s database and lacked the required
access.
Lina just shrugged, completely unbothered. “Perfect. I’ll stay and guard the place, maybe hack into Yalvaria’s surveillance grid while I’m at it. Give you some backup.”
The next morning, Tessa and Samuel accompanied Michael as he boarded the council’s vehicle.
Back at the apartment, Lina remained alone.
Stretching out lazily, she decided to head out for some local breakfast–not out of distrust for delivery, but from habit. Years of surviving in dangerous environments had made her obsessively cautious about sourcing her own food.
The breakfast shop at the street corner had just opened its doors. Lina had barely placed her order when someone familiar stepped inside.
Nathan.
He wore a dark coat, absentmindedly spinning two silver exercise balls in his hand. His eyes scanned the room once–then landed squarely on her.
Her breath caught. She instinctively looked away, but it was already too late.
“Tessa’s friend, right?” Nathan slid into the seat across from her, a faint, unreadable smile playing on his lips. “What a coincidence.”
Lina forced herself to remain composed, raising her water glass to hide her panic. “You’ve got the wrong person.”
“Oh?” Nathan cocked a brow, spinning the silver balls faster between his fingers. “Funny… you’ve got the same fire in your bones she does. I can smell it.”
Then he raised his hand casually.
Outside, Grant stepped in with several men, blocking the entrance.
Lina’s instincts screamed. She bolted from her seat and rushed toward the back exit–but Nathan was faster.. He caught her wrist in an iron grip, his fingers digging into bone.
“Let go!” she snapped, trying to use the micro–shock device on her belt. But Nathan easily snatched it away and tossed it to the floor.
“Don’t struggle.” He nodded toward Grant, who produced a syringe. “Be smart. Cooperate, and you’ll stay in

The needle pricked her skin. Dizziness hit her like a freight train. Her limbs went slack.
As she was dragged out of the shop and shoved into a black car, the last thing she heard was Nathan voice low and cold:
“Tessa cares about you. If you’re with me–she’ll come.”
At 10 a.m., while Tessa was navigating political landmines beside Michael in the council chamber, her phone vibrated once.
It was the emergency signal Lina had helped her set up–just one ping before it went dead.
Her chest clenched.
“I need the restroom,” she muttered and stepped out, immediately dialing Lina’s number.
“Phone is off,” the voice recording said coldly.
Samuel followed her out and saw her pale expression. “What’s wrong?”
“Lina’s gone dark.” Tessa’s fingers were cold. She opened her compact computer, attempting to trace Lina’s signal–but it had been wiped clean.
“Her phone’s been destroyed.”
