THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

It was 4:05pm now.

Emma bit her lips, as she checked the time on the silvery watch band on her left hand.

“She is not coming.” Esther stated, frankly.

“She has been kidnapped.”

“And how are you sure of that?” Derek asked her.

They had gone into the cafe after the decision to wait, and had come out immediately the time had reached 3pm.

He had conveyed the present issue to his gamma and beta, and although they were skeptical about waiting on a witch, they had stayed and kept on serving tables.

“The house was in disarray when I came back from classes today.” Esther replied; her voice laden with sadness.

Who had taken her aunt?

“Any ideas on who might have done that? Anyone your aunt has issues with?” Emma asked, also frantic with worry. Her only hope of getting answers to her questions had disappeared.

Who must have taken Margo?

“Not that I know. The only thing that I am sure of that can cause her abduction is you.” Esther stated, staring contemptuously at Emma.

She had a strong feeling that whatever had resulted in her aunt’s disappearance had a lot to do with the redhead.

“And why would you say that? You shouldn’t be pointing fingers…younno.” Derek stated, as he drew closer to his little witch, incase the witch girl decided to go all magic on her in a fit of rage.

“Well, she had been trying to protect her all this while…and now she had landed herself into trouble. I don’t know why she had to stress her self for some girl that didn’t worth it.” Esther said, eyeing Emma badly.

The latter didn’t even care less. Her thoughts were on why Margo had gone missing the instant she had wanted to give her the answers she had most wanted. Someone must be watching them. Someone must have known that they had fixed a meeting this afternoon, and had taken her. Someone that didn’t want the older woman to tell her about who she was and why phanthoms were trying to capture her. She refused to believe that it was just a mere concidence.

“Protect her from what?” Derek asked, remembering the scenario that his mother had seen when she had gone to visit her witch friend whom had gone to find out answers about his little witch.

And now this Margo. Things were getting more complicated. He had to get home. He had to tell his mother.

“I don’t really know. She was vague in her explanations.” Esther replied, as she deducted that the alpha boy didn’t really know much information either. She decided to keep the fact that the redhead was some kind of prophecy, deciding to honor her aunt even in her absence. The latter had told her not to mention that particular fact to anyone at all.

Looking at Emma, she noticed that the former was deep in thought, biting her lips at intervals.

Did she know anything that might give them a clue or headway on how to find her aunt?

“Hey…” She called, but Emma was mute.

“Emma…” She called, a bit loudly this around.

Emma lifted up her eyes to look at caller.

“Huh…” She muttered in reply.

“Why did my aunt want to meet you?” Esther asked, peering at Emma steadily with her hazelnut eyes.

“She had wanted to inform me on some things concerning me that I don’t know about, and why some strange happenings were going on about me.” Emma replied.

“Strange things? What do you mean by that? What strange things?” Esther asked, folding her arms across her chest.

“Well, for starters…” Emma was saying, when Derek interrupted her.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Strange things that are not your concern.” He said, looking at Esther with a disapproving eye. He didn’t trust her. Actually, he didn’t trust witches as a whole, including the one that is rumored to be protecting his little witch. He didn’t trust any of them. How was he even sure that the Margo wasn’t protecting his mate for her own personal gain. The only witch that was free from his distrust was his mother’s friend who was also missing. And that was because he trusted his mother’s choice. She was rarely wrong.

“Well, I think that it is my concern, since is the reason that my aunt is missing.” Esther retorted, annoyed with the audacity of the alpha guy.

“We are not sure about that. It could be her own enemies, that had not nothing to do with Emma.” Derek commented, determined not to let his mate say anything related to the phanthom and the others about the forest.

Esther scoffed.

The dude would do and say anything to prevent her from hearing the truth from the redhead.

She was tempted to use the paralysis spell on him, but that wouldn’t help her case with the redhead who seemed to be so attached to him.

“Guys, we shouldn’t be fighting.” Emma said, tired of the bickering between the two people whose concern for their loved ones were driving their words.

“We should be thinking of a way to solve this issue.” She said.

“We should be talking of ways to find and save Margo from whomsoever had kidnapped her. She is important to me. She is my friend.” She concluded, looking from Esther who was gazing at her with skeptical eyes to her boyfriend, whose eyes told her that he didn’t entirely agree with her words.

But she didn’t care.

She needed to find Margo.

“Good idea.” Esther chipped in, a little bit sarcastically. Derek shook his head. He felt like slapping the girl.

“So, Miss…do you have any idea how we are going to do that?” She asked Emma, who was not even concerned about her mocking slight bow or her too clipped tone. There were other things to worry about.

“Not really. But we can start by taking a look at your house and its environs.” She said, with a shrug.

“Good idea. Let’s go then.” Esther stated, before walking ahead of them, towards the road.
