CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINEEDWINI was fixing a few things in my office when a knock came on the door. "Come in," I called whoever was outside the door. The door opened softly, and my guard walked into the room. He bowed in front of me, and I only nodded my head. "There's a stranger out there to see you," he informed me. I squeezed my brow in confusion. I didn't invite anyone, and I wasn't expecting a visitor today. It was hard for me to decide who would want to see me and why."Who is he?" I asked. "He said his name is Callon and that he would help you in many ways. He claimed to have something that you need."I closed the files in my hand and walked out of the shelf where I had been standing. "Have you met him before?" I asked. He shook his head. I thought about what help he had to offer. What if he was a hungry omega seeking attention? Or, this was all a prank or a setup? My curiosity was piqued already, and I wanted to know what this Callon man had to offer. "He said he
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TENI wanted to stay back and eavesdrop on the rogue and Edwin. But I was too tired, and I didn't want Edwin to smell me around. I could tell that he was already suspicious of me, and I didn't want him to get even more suspicious. I hoped that the rogue would keep his big mouth shut and not get me into trouble. I met one of the maids on the way, and she informed me that Lucy needed my attention in the kitchen, so I went. A few maids were there in the kitchen already. They were washing plates used to eat dinner and a few other things. "Have you served the drink already?" She asked, pulling me towards her.I nodded my head. She had this worried look on her face, and I wondered what was going on. "Are you okay?" I asked her. "Of course," she replied with a nod. "Just that I'll be going to the red breeder pack."I furrowed my brows. She paused and scanned the kitchen with her eyes. She was talking in a low tone. She pushed her head forward and continued to s
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENRIVERI fell into my bed. I had too much to drink, and I was also exhausted from the day's work. I began to feel weird and bothered. I turned around on the bed continuously. I wondered what it was. I made up my mind to force sleep so I'd be fine when I woke up. I closed my eyes to sleep when I suddenly began to hear Elara's voice. At first, I thought it was in my dream. I soon realized that Elara had been trying so hard to connect to me, but it was impossible because I was drunk and weak. I forced myself to sit up and tried to listen to her voice. "River, please help me."She kept repeating the same words, and I knew at once that she needed help. I adjusted on the bed and tried to connect to her, but I couldn't. It would get disconnected immediately when I got her. It was beginning to frustrate me. I picked up my phone and began to pace the room. I didn't know if I should call Elara to find out if she was okay. It was a tough decision for me to mak
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE RIVERI carried her in my arms and rushed out of the room. On my way out, I stumbled into someone who started me. "River," he mumbled. "Harrison?" I called out at the same time. He probably followed me down here, just to make sure that I was safe. His eyes widened as he stared at Elara. "Why is she so bloody?" He questioned. "What happened? You both fought together or?""Get the doctor to red breeder pack," I commanded. Harrison hurried out of the place while I carried Elara to the car. When we got to the car, I lay her in the back seat and took the stirring. I drove as fast as I could until I got to the pack house. I parked at the pack hospital, and Harrison came out with the doctor and a nurse. The nurse helped Harrison carry Elara into the ward and lay her in bed. My heart was racing as I watched her body being treated with so much care. The doctor walked towards the bed, and the first thing he did was lift Elara's wrist and read her pulse.
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENCONSTANCE "She didn't sleep in the room last night. And she was nowhere to be found this morning."It was no longer news that Oma had been missing since last night. I had sent guards out to search for her, and I also talked to a few securities in the neighboring pack. I was walking past the garden when I heard Lucy complaining to the court lady. Other maids also spoke about her absence, cursing her and saying she ran away because she was too lazy to work. "She thinks she's smart.""You all speaking evil of her after giving her a heavy task. None of you know if she fainted somewhere or something."Everyone had something to say about Oma's absence, and it was becoming scary. I was seated in the garden with my face buried in my palm, as different thoughts flew through my mind. I sighed the guards I had sent out earlier, walked towards me. I searched them with my eyes, and there was no sign of Oma. I hoped that they would have dropped her off somewhe
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENEDWINIt's been two days now, and there was no news from the rogue. He was supposed to bring more information about the red breeder pack. I didn't care about Oma or whatever her name was. I wondered why Constance was so concerned about that particular maid. She never cared about anyone else except herself. Same Constance, who killed her family in cold blood. I finished my breakfast and left the room. I didn't want Constance to keep nagging me. "Where are you going?" She asked when I was about to leave the room. "I'd be in the garden for some air," I replied and walked away before she would say anything else. I walked into the garden and began to pace the place. My mind wandered. I needed the rogue for this operation to be a complete success. I noticed one of the guards walking towards me. I groaned inwardly, with the thoughts that he was coming to tell me about Oma. He bowed in front of me, and I raised my brow at him impatiently. "Alpha Edwin,
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN ELARAI gradually opened my eyes, and the first person I saw was River. He pulled me into a tight hug, and I leaned in to enjoy the hug for a while before pushing him away gently. I could still feel slight pains all over my body. My vision wasn't so clear, and my head ached badly. "Thank goodness, you are awake, Elara," he said, staring at me with so much worry in his eyes. "For how long have I been unconscious? Where am I?" I asked in sudden realization, as my heart began to beat very fast. I looked around the hospital, and it seemed so familiar. It wasn't familiar from my past life but from my present. "Where am I?" I whispered as I stared deep into River's eyes. "Calm down, Elara," he told me. "I am in the red breeder pack, right?" I asked him. He nodded slowly, and I slapped my head, feeling frustrated. "Why did you have to bring me here?" I asked him. "Where else should I have taken you?" He questioned. I hissed and bit my lower lip, as
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENELARAElla stared at me in shock. She didn't expect that I would tell her to her face about her pretense. Anyway, I did. "The other day at the mall, Elara," she continued speaking. I groaned loudly and leaned backward. I shook my head after resting my back. Ella would have left immediately when I told her she was fake. I was shocked that she didn't think I expected her to leave. "What were you doing there dressed like a servant?" She asked me. "You probably left to attend to something and couldn't say hi to mom and me."I knew she saw me, so I wasn't shocked. I stayed mute. I didn't respond to her. I just stared at her blankly without uttering a word. "Where did you go? I mean. I'm sure it's not too far from here. That is why you could come back all the way here just to get something from a mall."She paused for a while. "They don't have malls around there?" She gasped. "Oops! You all must be going through hell there.""Ella, please leave," I plead
