Chapter 8

Emilia Abel - POV

As I walked out of Alpha Sanders's office, I saw Gamma Benjamin was still standing outside as he walked in. I walked towards the wall and leaned against it as I closed my eyes while Alpha Sanders's words kept playing in my mind.

“I will not allow you to stay here as a permanent resident, but I will give you three months until you find another pack to move. That is the best I can offer, Miss. Abel.”

“Miss. Abel.” I was broken out of my thoughts when I saw Gamma Benjamin standing in front of me with a set of keys. “Shall we go to your new room?” he asked me, and I nodded my head. We walked out of the hallway and walked up the stairs when he took a sharp right, and I saw the elevators.

He pressed the button, and soon, the doors opened as we walked inside. “This is your access key. If you lose this, you will not be able to get out of this elevator. Do you understand, Miss. Abel?” Gamma Benjamin questioned as he showed me a silver key. I nodded my head when I saw him bring the key to the scanner that was on the right, and soon the elevator began to move.

“Do you live in the pack house?” I asked him when he nodded his head.

“What about the alpha and Beta?”

“They have their own homes, but they do have rooms in the pack house as well,” he replied when the elevator doors opened and we stepped out. This looked just like the hallway on the first floor as we began walking further away from the elevator when he finally stopped in front of a door that had the number 502.

“This is your room for the next three months, Miss. Abel,” he said as he scanned the key on the door handle instead of inserting it into a keyhole, and the door quickly opened as I walked inside. The room was bigger than the one I had back in Luis’s house. There was a queen-sized bed in the center, a wardrobe, and an attached bathroom. And directly next to the bed, there was this huge Baywatch window that was overlooking the forest and mountains outside.

“Did Alpha Sanders tell you anything about me?” I asked Gamma Benjamin when he stared at me for a long time.

“Only that you would be staying in here for the next three months and that you are from the Winter Moon pack,” he said the name of my pack in disgust when I saw the hatred swirl in his eyes. I never told Alpha Sanders to keep my past secret, but it seems like he didn't tell his gamma the reason why I am here.

“Don't you want to know the reason why I am here?” I asked him when he rolled his eyes and made his way to the door.

“You must have been banished from the pack for something serious.” he sneered, and I saw this anger in his eyes that I had not seen before as he stormed out of there. I have heard that the red stone pack hates our pack, but this is the first time I have seen it.

I am not sure about the particulars of this hatred that is going on, but something serious must have happened for both the largest packs to become rivals. I didn't delve deeper into it as I walked out of the room and made my way downstairs to collect my things from the boot.

It took me three hours to bring my things up to my room and then arrange them all inside my wardrobe, and once I was done, I sat on my bed and took my laptop to read the latest news. As I opened the news page, I felt the blood drain from my body when I saw my name on the headlines.

My hands began to tremble as I clicked on the news.

Gamma Luis Knight has reported that his mate, Miss. Emilia Abel had gone missing two days ago. They have been looking for her everywhere, but no one knows who took her. Alpha Hart has requested other packs to help them in this search.

Shit! What are we going to do now?

I thought Luis would be happy that I left him so that he could finally live his life with Ava, but why on earth is he looking for me?

I felt my heart begin to palpitate as I shut the laptop and got up from the bed. The news was released a few minutes ago, which means that Alpha Sanders must not have seen that yet. “Relax, we will think of something in the morning.” Silver consoled me, but I was on alert.

How am I going to ignore this? I didn't stop by any of the packs, so no one knows where I went, but this news has successfully ruined my chance to apply to join any other pack.

I kept pacing back and forth when I came to an abrupt stop with a loud knock on my door. My eyes widened in fear as I walked towards the door and opened it while I prayed that it should not be Alpha Sanders.

“Ma’am, Alpha Sanders sent you dinner.” it was an omega as I let out the breath I was holding.

“Thank you,” I told her as I took the plate from her and closed the door. Food was the last thing on my mind, even though it's been two days since I had a proper meal. I turned off all the lights, climbed into bed, and closed my eyes as I felt the sleep take over my senses.

Bang! Bang!

I jolted awake when I heard someone bang on my room door. I looked around the room to see the light streaming in through the window.

Bang!

I felt my heart nearly jump out of my thoughts as I quickly got up and made my way to the door. As I opened it, I saw Gamma Benjamin standing there. “Gamma…”

“Alpha Sanders wants to meet you now.”
