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
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE CONSTANCE "It's a little bit salty," Edwin said. He was talking about the macaroni we were having for breakfast. I nodded in agreement. The food tasted a little salty. But, it was still okay. "They added a new spice," I told Edwin. "Can you taste it?"He shook his head slightly, and I smiled. Of course, not everyone would easily taste a new spice in a food. "Something like a dry medical spice," I said. He put a spoonful in his mouth and began to chew it slowly, using his tongue to taste every part of the food. "I think I can taste it now," he agreed with me. "The food is Al little salty. Maybe that's what distracted me from all other tastes. "I nodded. Edwin picked up the serviette and wiped his mouth with it. I stared at his plate. He was unable to eat half of the food. "Are you done?" I asked him. "Yes," he responded. "I have a few things to handle at the office right now. "I lifted my head and lowered it very slowly. I didn't like that
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWORED BREEDER PACK ELLAI stood in front of River's room, searching the whole place with my eyes. I had seen him walk out through my window, so I knew he wasn't in. I made sure no one saw me before I walked into the room. The last time I was here to see Elara, I saw a suspicious box here. I had always wondered what it was all about, and now that I remembered, River wasn't in. Why should there be a delay or anything?I opened the door gently and walked into the room. I began to search the room with my eyes. Who knows, there may be other things in the room that would be useful to me. River and Elara were keeping so many secrets. I was curious enough to want to unravel at least a secret. That way, I would feel fulfilled. My phone began to ring in my pocket. I brought the phone out angrily and stared at the screen. it was the secret guard I had asked to go after Elara and find out everything about her. I picked up the call and placed my phone beside
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREERED BREEDER PACK RIVER I watched Ella walk away from the room. I wondered why she had the box and what she wanted to do with it. I told myself that it was finally time to dispose of the box and let her rest. There was no point keeping it here and stirring questions. "Get some soldiers and find out the cause of this explosion," I ordered the guard. He nodded and walked away from the room. I walked back to my bed, and once I got seated, I sighed deeply. My door opened, and Harrison walked into the room. "Have you gotten the records?" I asked him. He shook his head. I slapped my forehead and stood up to my feet. "How can?" I shouted.I quickly shut my mouth and breathed in heavily. I lifted my hands and folded my right fist. "How can a whole record disappear without a trace?" I asked him. "I swear, I placed it on the shelf. I do not have any idea how it disappeared."I paced the room for a while. My thought was completely blank. How would
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURRED BREEDER PACK I wanted to get more information about Elara from my investigator when I heard an explosion. I dropped my phone and rushed out of my room. I saw River's room on fire, and my heart quickly sank into my stomach. It was his building alone that exploded. Something was wrong somewhere. Without thinking twice, I rushed into my room and picked up my phone. I called the pack's emergency line as soon as I opened my phone book. My fingers wobbled, and I kept pressing the wrong button. My heartbeat tripled, and I could hear it as though my heart was in my ear. I tried to steady my fingers to avoid more damage before I could even make the call. "Hello," I called out immediately when they picked up. "Are you okay, ma'am?" He asked me. "There's an explosion in my brother's room, and he's in there. Please, come with your rescue team. The room is on fire."I spoke as quickly as I could. "We can not hear you clearly, ma'am. You were too qu
