Chapter 380 The Trap Springs
Third–person POV
“I don’t need your pity, you omega!”
Finished
Hudson gripped Aubrey’s wrist so hard his knuckles went white, but his palm was slick with cold, sticky sweat. His heart raced and he could hardly breathe.
All his chips were riding on Aubrey–her life or death would decide everything.
Cado grew more impatient. His gaze was sharp as he and his men closed in step by step–ten meters, nine meters…
At that moment Aubrey let out a long breath. “Good. Now–the game is over.”
As she spoke, a small remote slipped from her palm. The instant Cado saw it, his pupils narrowed.
The moment she pressed the switch, almost everyone reflexively dropped to the ground.
A series of explosions rang out–charges buried underground so the surface didn’t fissure dramatically.
As the blasts sounded, Cado shifted into wolf form and lunged at Aubrey, fangs bared and a crimson tongue lolling. In a flash, Aubrey bent low and executed a judo–like throw, slamming Hudson–who had been about to drop to the ground—hard to the earth.
Cado knocked into Hudson and bit off one of his arms.
Just as Cado tossed Hudson aside and lunged again, explosives detonated between him and Aubrey.
Sand and rock flew; the ground itself seemed to shudder.
When the explosions subsided, Cado saw his men sprawled but largely unharmed, and he laughed aloud. Fortunately, none of them had been standing directly above the charges.
“What’s the point of burying them so deep? Omegas are stupid–thinking this would hurt a bunch of betas like us.” Cado shifted back to human form, wiped dust from his face, and, triumphant, lunged at Aubrey. “You’re mine!”
Aubrey only watched him coolly. The next second the ground gave way.
What the-?!
Chapter 380 The Trap Springs
The earth collapsed.

Finished
Cado had been standing about seven meters from Aubrey. At the moment the sinkhole opened, he held his breath and strained toward her, but a huge slab of earth caved in before he could reach her, and he tumbled down–buried beneath falling rock.
What’s going on? How could there be a sinkhole here?
No one had an answer.
Because Cado had gathered most of his men in one place, the explosion caused the majority of them to fall into the hole.
Hudson stared dumbfounded. After the collapse, dust shot up into the air. From the void came another sound–the slap of countless fish tails on water. The sinkholes were filled with fish.
The pits weren’t deep, only about five meters. After Cado’s men fell in, they thrashed and struggled; some shifted into wolf form and tried to climb out, but in the water they couldn’t leap effectively.
At that moment the werewolves from the local security unit–those Aubrey had instructed to leave earlier–finally appeared.
They leveled silver firearms at the werewolves in the water.
Even as they raised their weapons, everyone felt stunned: sinkholes, underground currents, schools of fish… So Aubrey had sent the security unit ahead to survey the fishing grounds, find the subterranean cavities, and have demolition experts plant the charges to ensure everything went off perfectly.
It sounded simple, but it only worked because she had nailed Hudson’s psychology and manipulated him thoroughly. Cado’s impatience and underestimation of them made him rush the trap, surround the spot, and fall straight into her net–this time, she had truly made a huge catch.
Aubrey stood at the rim of the hole and breathed out slowly. She eased the pain from her blast wounds and sat down where she was.
