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
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE ELARAI lay in my room, smiling like a complete idiot. It's been almost an hour after the long talk with River, yet it seemed as though I was still talking to him. I couldn't wait to be back with him in the pack. I missed how he made me feel. His touches and all that. "Elara," I heard Lucy scream my name as she pushed the door open. I jumped out of bed. Lucy was panting terribly, and her face was buried to the floor. "Are you okay?" I asked her. Both hands were placed on her chest. She lifted her head to look at me. "There was an explosion in River's building. They said his condition is terrible and he's now at the hospital. "My heart sank into my stomach. "How?" I asked, blinking continuously. I placed both hands on my head. "Where is my River?" I asked Lucy. "Is he going to be fine?""I don't know. He's at the hospital, so."I bit my index finger. There must be a way to get to the ref breeder pack without being noticed. "Do you know an
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX ELARAI watched River as he slowly opened his eyes. I gasped for joy and hugged him. I wrapped my arm around his neck. He quickly grabbed my hands and pulled me off gently. "I'm so sorry," I apologized. "I was just too excited that you are awake."My heart beat fast for joy. I couldn't explain the excitement I felt about the fact that River was awake. "I'm so happy that you're awake!" I told him. "I can not die easily," River told me with a smile. "It would take a lifetime to kill me."I smiled. I stood up to my feet and wiped my knees. "I would get the doctor to check on you," I told River. I didn't wait for him to respond or react, I just began to run towards the door. I stopped abruptly when I got to the door and turned around. I shouldn't let anyone know that I was here. Not even the doctors of the red breeder pack. I turned to River, and he gave me the "see?" Look. I smiled. I didn't think about that earlier. I was completely carried a
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENELARABefore I could say or do anything, the guards dragged me and began pulling me away. My heart skipped, but I tried to stay calm. I didn't want to show any signs of weakness or panic, or else they'd say I did something wrong. I had to play smart and pretend to be innocent. "What have I done?" I asked them. "Why are you seizing me, and where are you taking me?"None of them gave me any replies. They kept pulling me forcefully. I noticed that we were headed towards Edwin's office. My heartbeat increased, but I tried to control it. I didn't want to be overly nervous. "I didn't do anything wrong, let me go."They formed deaf ears to everything I said. I struggled with them for a while and stopped struggling when I realized that I wouldn't be able to free myself from their grip. They carried me into Edwin's office and released me once I was standing in front of him. I quickly began to rehearse in my heart, what I would say to Edwin. "Where ar
