CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENCONSTANCE "She didn't sleep in the room last night. And she was nowhere to be found this morning."It was no longer news that Oma had been missing since last night. I had sent guards out to search for her, and I also talked to a few securities in the neighboring pack. I was walking past the garden when I heard Lucy complaining to the court lady. Other maids also spoke about her absence, cursing her and saying she ran away because she was too lazy to work. "She thinks she's smart.""You all speaking evil of her after giving her a heavy task. None of you know if she fainted somewhere or something."Everyone had something to say about Oma's absence, and it was becoming scary. I was seated in the garden with my face buried in my palm, as different thoughts flew through my mind. I sighed the guards I had sent out earlier, walked towards me. I searched them with my eyes, and there was no sign of Oma. I hoped that they would have dropped her off somewhe

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN ELARAI gradually opened my eyes, and the first person I saw was River. He pulled me into a tight hug, and I leaned in to enjoy the hug for a while before pushing him away gently. I could still feel slight pains all over my body. My vision wasn't so clear, and my head ached badly. "Thank goodness, you are awake, Elara," he said, staring at me with so much worry in his eyes. "For how long have I been unconscious? Where am I?" I asked in sudden realization, as my heart began to beat very fast. I looked around the hospital, and it seemed so familiar. It wasn't familiar from my past life but from my present. "Where am I?" I whispered as I stared deep into River's eyes. "Calm down, Elara," he told me. "I am in the red breeder pack, right?" I asked him. He nodded slowly, and I slapped my head, feeling frustrated. "Why did you have to bring me here?" I asked him. "Where else should I have taken you?" He questioned. I hissed and bit my lower lip, as

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN ELARA"You just disappear from the pack like that whenever you wish? And come back whenever you feel like it!"Edwin had been scolding me for almost an hour now. Lucy had hugged me when I returned, the happiness in her voice, and on her face was evident. Constance also didn't hide her relief when she saw me. I thought it would be lighter with Edwin because I thought I knew my ex-husband. The way he boiled in rage right now and his blazing eyes. He could burn me up in them. "Do you think this is some charity organization that pays you for playing around?" He asked. "Everyone was worried sick."I knew he was neither worried nor concerned about me. He was only angry because of his selfish reasons. How would he pay a maid who isn't always on duty?"You should be very careful. You are even lucky the position is still vacant. I would have kicked you out of this place like a football.""I'm so sorry," I went on my knees and began to shed crocodile tears

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEENEDWINI was surprised to see Oma bending over there. I stared at her in shock, and she quickly stood up. "Alpha Edwin," she bowed in front of me. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. "I came to clean," she replied calmly. I stared at her from head to toe. Her feet shook, but I couldn't tell if her hands did the same, as she hid them behind her back. "Get lost!" I commanded.She picked up her cleaning tools, and I shifted to a corner. She ran out of the office.I walked in after she left. I wondered if she was truly cleaning or doing something else. She acted suspiciously, I must confess. I shoved it aside and went to sit at my desk. It was then I noticed the drawer she was standing close to. It was slightly open. I quickly walked towards it and bent over. I pulled out the drawer and checked through it.There was a picture of Annalise's parents' car accident there. It was the same accident I had caused, and I asked for the pictures to be sent

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE CONSTANCE "It's a little bit salty," Edwin said. He was talking about the macaroni we were having for breakfast. I nodded in agreement. The food tasted a little salty. But, it was still okay. "They added a new spice," I told Edwin. "Can you taste it?"He shook his head slightly, and I smiled. Of course, not everyone would easily taste a new spice in a food. "Something like a dry medical spice," I said. He put a spoonful in his mouth and began to chew it slowly, using his tongue to taste every part of the food. "I think I can taste it now," he agreed with me. "The food is Al little salty. Maybe that's what distracted me from all other tastes. "I nodded. Edwin picked up the serviette and wiped his mouth with it. I stared at his plate. He was unable to eat half of the food. "Are you done?" I asked him. "Yes," he responded. "I have a few things to handle at the office right now. "I lifted my head and lowered it very slowly. I didn't like that
