Chapter 242 Guarded By Shadows

• Lottie's POV
• I watched as Fluffy approached me, her head nudging at my stomach gently. A cute sound bubbled from her throat. A warm sensation spread through me as Fluffy's touch seemed to resonate with the pups stirring inside me. It was as if they recognised the hellhound's presence, responding with gentle flutters. I couldn't explain how, but despite the cuffs suppressing my abilities, this connection brought me a glimmer of relief. For a moment, the fear and uncertainty faded, replaced by a comforting sense of unity.
• "We should leave," my captor stuttered from behind me, and I couldn't help but grin at the way Fluffy's head snapped around to glare at him. Its eyes narrowed, a low growl rumbling from deep within its chest. Gradually, it stepped closer as my captor stepped away, sweat slowly snaking down his face.
