Semua Bab THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION: Bab 171 - Bab 180

When Derek and Curtis got to the pack, everywhere was deserted. Darting their eyes around as they walked across some houses, they couldn't see a single soul. "What do you think happened?" Curtis asked, slightly scared for the lives of his pack members, his sister and his mother too. "I don't know." Derek replied, bewildered too. When he had left in search of Curtis, he had been sure that they were on the winning side of the fight. So what happened after he had left? Where was everyone? Why was everywhere deserted this way? Getting to the centre of the pack, they saw the heap of burnt bodies of some people. "Mind link your sister now!" Derek said sharply, while adjusting the girl which laid limp in his hands. Curtis obliged, without wasting time, mindlinking Maya immediately. "Maya..." He called, his heart in his mouth, as he still darted his eyes around the p

Now outside the hall, Leo scanned the whole area for Maya, or Derek, but his line of vision came up with nothing. "Where are they?" He muttered to himself, still watching around, when he saw Brandon, his temporary next in command in the Wind Winders Pack; since his chosen vice was back home, overseeing the duties and trainings over there. Before he could ask the latter anything, the huge warrior beat him to it. "They are in the training grounds." He said, as if knowing what Leo had been wanting to ask him. "Okay, thank you." Leo replied, about to walk away, when the latter called him back. "Is there any issue?" He asked, when he had halt in his movement, and turned around to face Brandon. "Not really, just a hunch of what might have really happened last night. I don't know if you'll be open to my opinions." Brandon stated, meeting Leo's gaze steadily.

Emma sighed for the umpteenth time as she sat in class listening to the third lecture of the day. She thought it was the most boring teaching she had ever sat under. She didn't know if it was because of the monotony of the professor's words, or the fact that she was alone in the class. Not that she was really alone though. There were other students in the class. But then, they were not Maya or Derek. She missed them already. She had thought that they would be back the previous day, but that hadn't been the case. She would have stayed back at Melvina's place today, if not for the fact that she had already missed a lot of classes, and Clem was quite convincing with his words. When they had come back from the forest the previous day, Margo had refused to enter Melvina's small estate with them for no apparent reason. And when she and Clem had turned aside to discuss about the best statement to give Melvina for entering the forest and staying whatever number of days

When Emma got out of the class, she tapped her forehead lightly as she came to a halt, cussing again as she realized that she didn't even know the way to the professor's office. And she hadn't remembered to ask Ava about it.   "I will just leave, and if he asks me tomorrow, I will just tell him that I had forgotten or that I didn't know the way to his office." She muttered. But even as she said so to herself, she knew that her excuses were flimsy. She had to go to the man's office, and get over with it once and for all. Perhaps, Clem might know. She thought, about to call Clem with her phone, but then cancelling out the idea at the last minute. Clem was majoring in architecture, and so would have no business to do with the history lecturer.    "What will I do now?" She asked herself, tapping her right foot lightly on the floor, as she weighed her options. Go home, or go crazy searching for his office, since she wasn't in the mood at all

Emma backed up two steps away from the intruding presence of Professor Perkins, noting that her rival, Claire had also done the same, but unlike her face which was clouded with shock, the latter's face mirrored disgust and alertness.    Did they have a history? She thought, staring at the both of them. They were staring at each other, with unpleasant looks on their faces; except Professor Perkin's signatory smirk made his expression lighter, a sharp contrast to his eyes which had turned cold all of a sudden.   They had a history together, perhaps a failed relationship. She concluded.   "I asked a question earlier? What is going on here?" She heard the professor bite out.   "Nothing that is any of your business." Claire replied.   Emma thought that she was about to watch the battle of exes; as this was what it must be. She could see her professor trying to calm himself down a
