MAYA.
“Hey,” I greeted, mustering a smile as I looked at the guard who returned my smile with a cold face. If he wasn’t doing his duty, I would have assumed someone might have troubled him but that’s wasn’t the way with most of the guards here.
They were so unfriendly and talked only when it was necessary to talk. I remembered the one who had threatened me when I asked him why the prince was calling me. There were a lot of strict rules that were surrounding their duties and it seemed they took it so seriously because maybe it had punishments that they didn’t want to go through.
I wondered what it was but this was not the time to think about trivial matters like that. I felt something was very wrong and that was the most important thing that needed to be addressed right now. I was still confused as to why I was being called. The guard, after a heavy brief silence, replied.
“Emily is looking for you.” He replied cryptically. As usual there was no reason why I was being looked for. It was always the same word that didn’t give you an answer. I wondered why she was asking for me. Was it to ask why I hadn’t been to work today.
Hadn’t she been told that I had switched departments yesterday? I wondered, confused. Tight now I just wanted to be alone planning for the future but I had to go find out why first. I somehow expected all this to be about Alpha Orion but I shut out the thought and reminded myself that he didn’t know I was here but I had discovered that he was the traitor.
So I was on the safe side and he wasn’t. He was the one who should be worried because he would be sent to the gallows as soon as he was back. I couldn’t wait to get back and have him exposed. I pushed off my thoughts again before replying the guard.
“OK, right now?” I asked.
“Right now.” He replied before walking out of the room.
I looked back to see if Tianna was watching but she was fast asleep. The confusion got even worse as I wondered what Emily could possibly want from me at this time of the day. I had remembered the head nurse telling me that she would have it all sorted out before the end of the day, but it was clear that that wasn’t the case here.
It might be because of her or maybe the jealous woman who was jealous whenever she saw me with the Alpha was just trying to stake her claim and tell me that I had no business talking to royalty. Whatever it was, I was prepared for it and she could do her worst trying to tell me about it.
I didn’t give a hoot about her envy. I wondered when the Alphas would leave also. I wasn’t going to be calm and secure that something wasn’t wrong until they were gone, precisely Alpha Orion. There was still a chance that he might have seen me while I was returning, but I knew he would have yelled at the guards to have me arrested straight away if he saw me but maybe he didn’t. Maybe he thought I was someone else and that’s why he didn’t say or do anything. I guess he just remained calm after that.
ORION.
I was more than shocked when I saw her. What the hell was she doing here? How had she been able to figure out that these people were the ones who had killed the Alpha’s brother? I had no idea how they had been able to decipher it because our tracks were perfectly hidden, but I guess they were given a hint and they had used it perfectly.
That wasn’t the problem now. The problem was that my life was in danger and if I didn’t act immediately, that was going to be the end of me. Something had to be done as soon as possible, or I would have my head chopped off if she got back to the Pack before me. I knew it was her, and it answered my question to why I haven’t seen her around at the Black Moon Pack for some time now.
I heard she had travelled, but never had I ever thought this was the place she had come to. I had just spoken with Alpha Ryker about my plan to have Venom deceived with Ryker’s men as allies so they could start the war from within. If they could get their hands on Venom and kill him, the rest of the Pack will have no other option than to surrender to us and do nothing.
They wouldn’t fight because there was nobody to lead them. It was a pretty good plan which had been discussed during the meeting. We were discussing the perfect number of guards that would be enough to carry the mission and he was very generous with the numbers, but it wasn’t surprising because he really knew what he wanted. He wanted total downfall and destruction of the Black Moon Pack.
I caught her quickly rounding the large Packhouse before she started walking down a very long straight path which seemed to lead to the back of the Packhouse which was basically a massive chateau. Even though I’d seen her before, I was still startled to see her again.- she was just so odd and out of the picture and I kept wondering if she had found what she wanted.
She was here, probably pretending to be someone else and stealing information. “Goddammit!” I muttered to myself as I clenched my fist and thought about what I would do to her when I finally caught her. That was the moment she glanced back. I was very fast and quickly dodged to a wall stylishly so nobody would notice what I was following her.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
I peeked when I saw she had started moving again. There were a lot of people moving down the path so it wasn’t hard for me to blend in and catch up despite my bad leg. She disappeared into a very large door and I tried to follow but a guard quickly blocked my way.
