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.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXRIVER I couldn't sleep throughout the night. I was watching Elara. I knew she wasn't asleep either. I could tell how hurt Elara felt at that moment. I stayed put in bed watching Elara struggling to sleep, and it broke my heart. I finally slept off but couldn't sleep for too long. I woke up before Elara did. Elara continued with her attitude the next morning.When she left the room angrily without even sparing me a glance or giving me the chance to explain myself. I hurried out of my room, heading for Lisa's. There was no way she wouldn't have returned to the pack house by now. When I got there, I met Lisa walking out of her room with a proud smile on her face. I grabbed her by the neck and pushed her back into the room. Lisa began to scream as she grabbed my hand with both of her hands. She grew her claws and tried to tear my skin with them. She kept struggling to pull my hands from her neck. I didn't stop, I was choking Lisa recklessly. She tried to speak,
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN ELARA I sat in the garden sobbing silently. I couldn't believe that River could do this to me. That was the reason he always supported Lisa, even when she was wrong. It was heartbreaking to know that River would choose Lisa of all people to cheat with. Someone that I hated so much. River was aware of the rift between Lisa and I. It would have been better if he had done it with someone else. I didn't think I would be able to forgive him after what he had done. He claimed that u was his mate, yet he did this to me. I soon heard footsteps approaching the garden. I could hear giggling and murmuring. My heart broke, and I thought it was the maids gossiping about what happened.I would be a laughing stock if the news ever got to them. "You needed to see the way he was groaning loudly while I was giving him my best ride."It was Lisa's voice. My heart sank, and I quickly found a spot to hide. The two walked into the garden and sat on the bench there. "I told you i
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT ELARA The next morning, I told River about what I discovered and the missing record. He brought his system, and we checked them together. "Thank you so much for opening my eyes, Elara," River appreciated. He called Harrison, who walked into the room after about five minutes. River showed him the missing record. He was shocked but didn't hesitate to sing praises of me. He also asked why I kept it from them all along. I brought up the issue of the strange document, and the two exchanged suspicious glances. "Story for another day," Harrison said. I decided to focus on this for now. Even though I was eager to know what was going on with the strange files, I still didn't want to ruin what we were already trying to find out. At least, we should take one at a time. Harrison scrolled through the documents with me and River watching him. "Here," he said, pointing to one of the figures. "This one also has issues."I looked closely and turned it to River who also st
