Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 272

He quickly whispered something to White, who instantly left his side and disappeared within moments.

White, being small and nimble, went unnoticed as everyone's attention was fixated on the wolves, a rare sight for the Bradfords.

Panic ensued among the Bradfords,

"Where did all these wolves come from?!"

"Isn't the forest supposed to be monitored? How did wild wolves get here?"

"Run, run! These wolves look mad; they're going to attack!"

Lowell quickly chimed in, "Tarquin, get Elijah to safety! These wolves mean trouble!"

Tarquin's brow furrowed as he scooped up Elliot, saying, "Get Elysia back to the car, alert everyone, and don't let the wolves get to Elysia!"

"Right away!" Lowell hurriedly called the bodyguards.

Elliot gave Tarquin a meaningful look. Despite his cold demeanor towards his mom, the fact that he thought of her safety in danger earned him a point in Elliot's book.

"What's with these wolves? They seem to be targeting us specifically!" Lowell noticed after making the call.

The rest of the Bradfords also caught on, then halted their escape to speculate,

"Look, they're heading straight for Elijah and Tarquin!"

"Oh my, what's going on? Are those wolves trying to tear and eat them?"

Allegra screamed as if out of her mind, "Karma, it's all karma! They've done so much wrong, and now the heaven has sent these wolves to rip them apart! Here comes the karma, ha ha!"

Silence followed Allegra's manic laughter and shouting.

Her voice was loud enough for Elliot and Tarquin to hear.

Elliot pressed his lips together in frustration. These were trained animals specifically targeting Elijah, obviously sent by someone with a vendetta.

"Weren't they after Elijah and Tarquin? Why are they coming for us now?!"

"They're here, they're coming, oh my… Ah… Oh..."

Soon, cries of terror and the sounds of struggle emanated among the Bradfords.

Elliot, held by Tarquin, watched ominously.

His mom always said, "Do good deeds daily, and you'll be rewarded manifold. Build virtue, and happiness will follow."

She also said, "Evil deeds will lead to one's downfall. Those who sow injustice will reap calamity."

And she said more, "Good people will find peace for eternity, while evildoers will eventually face divine retribution."

No matter the reason, the Bradfords were utterly evil to harm a child with such cruelty. They deserved to be punished, to suffer the consequences of their actions.
