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
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN ELARA"You just disappear from the pack like that whenever you wish? And come back whenever you feel like it!"Edwin had been scolding me for almost an hour now. Lucy had hugged me when I returned, the happiness in her voice, and on her face was evident. Constance also didn't hide her relief when she saw me. I thought it would be lighter with Edwin because I thought I knew my ex-husband. The way he boiled in rage right now and his blazing eyes. He could burn me up in them. "Do you think this is some charity organization that pays you for playing around?" He asked. "Everyone was worried sick."I knew he was neither worried nor concerned about me. He was only angry because of his selfish reasons. How would he pay a maid who isn't always on duty?"You should be very careful. You are even lucky the position is still vacant. I would have kicked you out of this place like a football.""I'm so sorry," I went on my knees and began to shed crocodile tears
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN ELARAI was washing plates in the kitchen later that day when a maid walked in. I remembered Kiara quickly from my past life. She was Edwin's maid while I was here. I haven't seen Kiara since I started working here. I guessed that she was on leave all this while.There were a few other maids in the kitchen sorting vegetables and washing them. Kiara stared at me for a while and turned to the other maids. She had a mocking smile on her face as she turned to face them."What did Edwin employ this time?" She asked them. The maids giggled, and she kept the smile on. She shook her head before turning to face me. She stared at me from my head, down to my toe, and up to my head again."What's your name?" She asked me. "Oma," I replied calmly. I didn't spare her a glance. I just focused on the plate I was washing. But I could see her clearly and all her reactions. "Nice name," she teased me. I could hear the mocking in her voice, but I ignored her. "Tha
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEENEDWINI was surprised to see Oma bending over there. I stared at her in shock, and she quickly stood up. "Alpha Edwin," she bowed in front of me. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. "I came to clean," she replied calmly. I stared at her from head to toe. Her feet shook, but I couldn't tell if her hands did the same, as she hid them behind her back. "Get lost!" I commanded.She picked up her cleaning tools, and I shifted to a corner. She ran out of the office.I walked in after she left. I wondered if she was truly cleaning or doing something else. She acted suspiciously, I must confess. I shoved it aside and went to sit at my desk. It was then I noticed the drawer she was standing close to. It was slightly open. I quickly walked towards it and bent over. I pulled out the drawer and checked through it.There was a picture of Annalise's parents' car accident there. It was the same accident I had caused, and I asked for the pictures to be sent
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTYELARAI sighed deeply immediately when I got out of Edwin's office. I was lucky that he didn't catch me. I thought he did and that I was done for. The way he stared at me when he spoke to me. I was sure that he was suspicious of me. Thankfully, he decided to let it go. I walked back to my room and sat on the bed. I couldn't stop wondering who sent the text and how he or she knew so much. Whoever the person was, he or she lived in the pack. Else, how did they know about the information in Edwin's drawer?I hissed, frustrated as I lay in bed facing the ceiling. I was about to sleep when I heard a loud knock on the door. I stood up and walked towards the door. "You are needed in the kitchen," the maid standing outside my door informed me. "I have heard you," I replied. She stared at me for a while. "I'd be behind you," I told her. I knew she was waiting for me to step out so we could leave the house together. But I had no plans of going to the kitch
