Chapter 58Silas' pov"Silas," a familiar voice called out to me and I looked around but couldn't see anyone."Elara?" I called out hesitantly."Silas." The voice was louder and my feet, having a mind of their own, began walking towards the direction of the voice.I came to an abrupt halt as I saw Elara sobbing on her knees."Elara?" I called out to her and she looked up at me with teary eyes."I'm sorry Silas, I didn't do it. I really didn't do it," she begged me and as I tried to approach her it was as though my feet were stuck..Blood began trickling down her head and trailed along her face as she let out heart-wrenching sobs which felt like I was being punched in the gut."Elara," I choked out as I struggled to move."You did this to me, Silas," she kept on repeating as her whole body became drenched in blood and all of a sudden a single matchstick was lit and thrown in her direction and flames engulfed her."Elara," I screamed as I bolted off my bed.My heavy breaths filled the r
Chapter 57Scarlett's povMy heart hammered against my chest as I stared at the rogue bearing its canines at me."I told you we would meet again, didn't I?" A soft voice called out to me and I looked around but I couldn't find it's owner."What do you want from me?" I asked as my voice trembled."You know what we want Scarlett," the voice replied and I stumbled back as I felt multiple eyes on me and the rogues slowly began to prowl out from their hiding place."I don't," I whispered as tears pricked the back of my eyes."The vial Scarlett, that's all we want. The vial," the woman told me and frustration coursed through me."What vial?" I asked as a tear slid down my face."Playing dumb will get you nowhere Scarlett, we can either do this the easy way or we could do it the hard way. You pick," the woman announced and my heart dropped as I knew I was surrounded."The boss still wants you," a familiar deep voice called out to me and I gasped as I recalled the rogue from the first time I
Chapter 56Nora's povI paced in front of Scarlett's door, unsure what I would say to her as I knew she would be very upset.I leaned against the door but I couldn't hear anything and with a sigh I knocked but was met with radio silence."Scar?" I called out to her as I knocked again but still nothing.I slowly opened the door and poked my head into the room but there was no sign of Scarlett and I pushed the door wider and stepped in."Scarlett?" I called out to her as I approached the bathroom and it was painfully obvious she wasn't here.Apprehension filled me as I rushed out of her room and made my way to the garden but still no sign of Scarlett. My heart rate began to pick up and I couldn't shake off the bad feeling that crawled up my heart as I made my way to the infirmary, the library...even the kitchen but I didn't find her.Rage filled me as I marched back to Silas' office and this time I didn't bother knocking, rather I threw the door open and his eyes shot up to me at alert
Chapter 55Scarlett's pov"Nora, Scarlett. What's up?" Asher asked as he approached the door bare-chested. His eyes settled on Nora as he leaned against the door and I couldn't help but feel as though there was some tension as I stared between them.I cleared my throat, reminding them of my presence and Nora snapped out of her trance."Could you guys be any more obvious?" Nora asked as she rolled her eyes."In my defense, I'm in my room." Asher pointed out and Nora scoffed."Umm...we wanted to ask you something," I announced, cutting into their banter."Did you by any chance drop a note for me in my room?" I asked as I watched his face closely."What note?" He asked and dread settled within me as I knew not even Asher was that good of an actor."You didn't leave any note?" I asked again as tears pricked the back of my eyes."No, I didn't." He informed me as confusion crowded his face."What did the note say? And why do you think I was the one who dropped it?" He inquired and before I
Chapter 54Scarlett's pov'You'll regret interfering in my plan.' I stared at the words scribbled on a piece of paper strategically placed on my bed where I would never be able to miss it and my heart dropped.Who had put this here and how had they gotten into my room?My hands shook as I slowly picked up the note and stared at the words, willing them to disappear.I gulped as I made my way towards my bathroom and quickly opened it before I stepped away in case the culprit was still there. I waited for a few seconds before I made my way in and assessed it but there was no one there.My heart beat loudly in my chest as I checked if I had left my windows open but they were still tightly shut and I had to unlock my door before I came in so how had someone dropped this here?A knock rapped against my door and I turned to it with fearful eyes."Scar?" Nora called out to me as her head poked into my room."Hey, what's wrong?" She asked as she stepped into the room and approached me."Scarle
Chapter 53Silas' pov"If we keep walking at this pace I doubt we'll ever make it to the park." Nora groaned beside me and I shook my head at her dramatics."What would you rather we do? Run?" I asked sarcastically."Let's do it, let's run our wolves race to the park." Asher perked up and I stared at the petite woman between his arms."What no, that's not what I meant," Nora said urgently and my gaze snapped back to her.I quirked a questioning brow at her but she merely shrugged and turned to Scarlett who was walking quietly beside her. She threw Scarlett a glance which she returned and I wondered what it was they were communicating about.Finally, we arrived at the park and Asher and I set up the mat while Scarlett and Nora set up the food."I picked such a lovely spot," Nora boasted as we all settled onto the mat."I can't remember the last time we had a picnic," Asher commented as he picked up a croissant and took a bite and instantly I felt Nora's gaze on me but I ignored it.The
