Chapter 3

Adam's POV

It has been three hours since I came here to the bottom of the cliff. I heard the water waves and felt the wind even colder now. I didn't stop just to find where Alice was. I looked for her body smell. But I failed to find her. She was not here. I didn't find any body of a weak human. Even her orchid scents disappeared.

As the cloud hid the moon, I changed my form. I tried even harder to find Alice and went somewhere that might be her hideout. But I never found anyone here.

I let my heavy breath out.

"Where are you, Alice?"

As I told those words to me, I remembered her mom. She cried a lot and thought that her child might be dead now. How could I tell the news to my pack? They might have blamed me for what happened to my future Luna. Soon, I would become an Alpha, and what happened to her was not good for my reputation. My parents would have hated me if they found out the reason why Alice committed that shit.

If she did jumped off the cliff, she was so stupid to decide that. I wanted her gone in my life, but not like this. She gave me more headaches and started to give us more problems. What was on her mind to did that?

That was one of the stupid things that humans like her did.

She was the weakest and stupid person I have ever known.

Disappointed in myself, I went back. The sun was about to say hello to every creature. I have no courage to tell anyone that I didn't see Alice. Before I went home, I decided to went to Alice's home, where I heard her mother cry again. She hasn't stopped since yesterday night. As I heard it, I even felt more guilty about what I have done to their human child.

I knocked on the door, and later on, Henry opened it for me. He even looked at my back, he hoped his sister was with me.

"Did you find her?"

I shook my head. "No."

He didn't talk back, he let me in. As time went by, the house was filled with sorrows. Should I comfort them with kind words? But how?

I saw Henry went to his sister's room while he cried. Alice's family loved her so much, they felt hurt by her disappearance.

When everything fell apart, I tried to went in my father's house. I needed his help, to comfort Alice's family. I didn't know what I should do anymore. I never tried to comfort anyone when their hearts got broken. This was my first time.

"What you did?"

"I did nothing. I searched at the bottom of the cliff, and didn't find her."

"Did you tell her something?"

"Of course not. I did not do anything," I lied over and over. I didn't want them to know the truth about my last conversation with Alice.

I told every lie to my father, but still, he blamed me for what happened to that human. I also felt hurt by the news. Those feelings scared me a lot. What if everyone blamed me? I did not do anything that might harm Alice's heart. What she heard was the truth. She was weak, and now, for killing herself, she was so stupid.

After we talked about things, we went back to Alice's home. I saw them cried over and over. Alice was an adopted child, I didn't know the real story behind them and decided to adopt a weak human. Since then, I didn't give Alice any attention, not until they decided that she would become my Luna when I became an Alpha. If they didn't do that, everything would be fine.

"I promised that Adam would look for her every day. He would never stop until we found Alice. Don't lose hope."

I was shocked when I looked at my father.

"Was it true, Adam?" The old woman's voice still has sorrows.

I let out a deep breath. "Yes."

I didn't know why my father was determined to find her. I know every life was important. But searching for her every day would make me feel exhausted. I wanted to find her, just to make everything good. But still, it didn't mean that I wanted her back in my life.

"Thank you, Adam. Please find her," Henry said in a low voice.

I smiled at them. I couldn't fulfill those promises. But I would try everything I could, just to find where that weak human was.

My father and I comforted them with kind words. Gave them false hopes, just to make them feel okay. I hoped they didn't hate me for what I have said to them, which I knew I couldn't fulfill.

We talked more and more, so they could forget what happened at least for this time. When the time came, my father and I said goodbye to them and told that I would find Alice now.

We walked until we went home.

"Should I need to find her? She could be forgotten, right?"

As I said those words, my father looked at me straight.

"Just did what I said. You need to bring her home. No more questions, just did what I'd said, Adam." It was deep and heavy.

I let my breath told him that I didn't want to do it. "Okay."

I didn't get it. Why did even my father wanted her back? Humans like Alice were easy to forget, did they have something that made her special to everyone?
