CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT Black Blood Pack CONSTANCE I lay in my bed, scrolling through the Internet when I heard a knock on my bed. I stood up and walked towards the door. When I opened the door and saw the head maid standing outside there, I opened the door more widely and rolled my eyes. She walked into my room, and I closed the door. "Greetings ma'am," she bowed in front of me immediately when I turned around and faced her. It wasn't like she was seeing me for the first time today. My maids were already used to greeting me whenever they saw me. "Here," she said, handing me some papers. "The application form." I took the form from her. There was a frown on my face as I began scrolling through the form. "It's for the installation of new maids for the pack, ma'am," she continued. "I want you to go through it and tell me what I should do next." I pushed the form back to her, and she quickly took it from me. "Postpone this till next week," I told her. "I am not
CHAPTER SEVENTY NINEELARA"Constance postponed the maid installation to a week later," Lucy informed me over the phone. My mouth opened. I was a bit shocked, but my shock was soon replaced with a smirk. I knew exactly why she shifted the maid instalment. I was sure that the only reason Constance postponed the maid instalment was because she was still busy trying to find out who was behind the threat. She must be so paranoid by now. I was sure that Edwin as well was conflicted since he had two things to bother about. "It's fine, Lucy," I said, still smirking. "Just keep me updated.""Yes, ma'am."After hanging up, I decided to supervise the preparation of general dinner, which was happening today. Immediately when I walked into the kitchen, all the maids bowed down before me in greeting. They had already cooked a few pots and were cooking the last set. "Where do I start?" I asked the head maid. She didn't respond. I wasn't asking her so that she would. She only smiled, and I qui
CHAPTER EIGHTYLISAMy eyes and mouth are wide open as I watched Elara exit the dining room. What the fuck did I just hear her say? I felt a hand around my shoulder. I gasped and immediately turned around to see Ella standing behind me with a smile. The smile disappeared almost immediately. "What is the matter?" She questioned me. "Elara just asked why I'm flirting with River when I'm interested in you," I replied with a shaky voice. Ella let out a scared scoff. "What did you just say?" She asked me. "You heard me right, Ella," I replied and rolled my eyes. I noticed that Ella began to panic as well. "How did she find out?" She asked me. "I don't know," I replied. She bit her pointer finger and stared at Elara's retreating figure with scorn. We were the only ones now left in the dining apart from the maids who were packing plates into the kitchen. "I am the princess of this pack and can not be caught in this mess. I am supposed to be struggling to find a mate," she cried ou
CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE LISAI watched River with a smile as he walked past me. I turned back to face the guard. I would continue with him later, for now, I needed to start my plans. "You can leave," I discharged him with a stern look. After that, I walked to Ella's room. Luckily, when I opened the door, she was in. She lay in her bed reading a novel. She turned around immediately when she saw me and smiled. I walked to her bed and sat beside her. She sat up and locked her lips with mine. I kissed her for close to ten seconds before pushing her away gently. "This would get us in trouble soon," I said. She shoved it off."Nothing would happen," she replied so confidently. "I wish so," I said. We were both quiet for a while before I finally spoke up. "I've gotten an idea on how to have River all to myself," I told her with a smile on my face. A frown suddenly appeared on her face. It was more like she was jealous. "Always about River, " she mumbled. I moved closer to her and wrap
CHAPTER EIGHTY TWOELARARiver and I ate dinner together in our room. After eating, we sat on his bed and began to talk."I would be going for a business trip for two days," River informed me. My face immediately squeezed into a frown. I didn't like the fact that River would leave me alone for a while in the room there. Two whole days. But I had to understand that River was the alpha and had to do his duties. "Don't worry, is just two days," River said and pulled me closer to himself. He hugged me for a while and pulled away. I forced a smile. It was difficult for me to smile when River had plans to leave me all alone in this room for two days. Whenever he would stay out and it get let, I'd get bored and begin to miss him. River and I soon lay in his bed hugging each other. "I love you so much, Elara," River confessed. I didn't reply to River's confessions. I didn't even say a word either. I just kept queit and listened to his confessions. He lay behind me hugging me tightly. I
CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREERIVER"Since they keep dying and no one is killing them. Don't you think we have to figure out the mystery behind this death?" Alpha Zeth asked. During the meeting with the alphas and their betas. I began to miss Elara. I picked up my phone placed it under the table, and texted Elara, asking how she was faring. She replied, saying she was okay and that I should be careful. I texted her about how much I missed her, and she only replied with a smiley emoji."We have also noticed that a lot has been going on with our financial records," one of the alphas stated. Another nodded in agreement. "I have complained to Zed about this, and he said he is facing the same issues," another alpha agreed. I began to wonder what was going on. I was pretty sure that my pack was facing the same issues. Although, I could not trace the figures yet. I didn't even know exactly where the figures were missing from, but I knew there were leakages. Harrison and I have been calm through
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOURLISA Ella and I walked into River's hotel room together. I was excited about what was going to happen. Ella called one of the workers and introduced herself as River's sister. It seemed as though Ella had already spoken to a few people before we arrived because everything went smoothly. "Have this," Ella said, handing the Viagra to one of the workers. He took it from her without asking any questions. "Don't forget to add this to my brother's food. It's his drug, and he doesn't want to take it willingly."Ella dipped her hand in her handbag and brought out a huge amount of money. She handed it over to the worker who received it with great joy. "Make sure that you do not speak of this with anyone," Ella told him. After conversing with him, we walked away from the hotel. I was so happy because this time around, Elara would never figure this out. And if she doesn't figure it out, she won't be able to ruin it or change things. I walked out with Ella, and we stopp
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVEELARA I went haywire when I opened the pictures and began to go through the content. I couldn't believe my eyes. I stood up and ran out of the room with my car key. I opened the car and started the car engine. I was about to drive off when my driver came running to me. He stood in front of the car and tried to stop me from driving off, but I didn't listen to him. I did a quick turn and drove out of the compound at high speed. No one would have expected me to drive to the hotel room within that short while. But I still did. When I got there, I walked into the reception. Luckily, it wasn't too late, and they still let people check in and out of the hotel. I didn't wait to speak to the reception, I just walked to the room number that Lisa attacked to the pictures. Plus, River already mentioned it earlier. I didn't want any excuses or lies that the pictures were edited or not. I wanted to see for myself. I walked to the room and opened the door without knocking.
