Sam and Alpha Amal turned around to go to his father's room. She tapped his shoulder and he went over to his father while she left the room for them. She did not want the anger of Alpha Amal's father directed at her that morning, and since his wife was god knows where, she knew that he would run unchecked and she did not think she had the strength for that. Outside of the room, she could still hear the strong hard taps that Alpha Amal sent to his father's shoulder, and Sam pitied the man a little bit. When he did not wake up and Alpha Amal came back out, she went in with him and went into the bathroom to grab a glass of water. From that glass, she sprinkled some water over his face, and the man sputtered awake, a look of shock and then irritation coloring his face.“Who let you in here? Are you insane? You splashed water on my face?” he turned his focus to her and frowned. “And you, Omega slave, you are in my room, holding the water that was splashed on my face. Are you insane? ”Sa
Chapter 57.Alpha Amal's POV.Looking around the table at all the concerned faces, his reality finally hits him and he gets it. His mother has truly been kidnapped. He knows that it was not done by Mr. Stephens, because he was not even in town, but he knew that he would have to search the Stephens' property.Sam had just asked him what the plan was, and for lack of a better one, he announced to everyone seated at the table that they were going to be searching the Stephens' Property.Across the wide wooden table, he took notes of the looks of shock and disbelief and tried to explain his logic to them. “Do you recall that I was supposed to get married to Paisley around this time? The wedding had been scheduled and everything, and all I had to do to set off preparation was announce our engagement at the festival we had in the fall. Things were going as planned, but I came across some new information that made me rethink the decision. ” Intentionally, he looked over at Sam who had a
Sam and Alpha Amal made their way over to the mansion and as soon as she got down from the vehicle, she went to the kitchen to grab a tray. Neither of them had eaten that morning, and she knew that an apple pie had been baked. She was not really up to talking right then, but she knew that in Alpha Amal's company, she would end up talking. His room was locked so she used the intermediate doors to get in and went over to his verandah. He was lying face down onto his pillow, and usually she would walk over to him and kiss him, but enthusiasm did not seem to be the order of the day. She turned to leave and then on second thought, went over to him and gave him a pack on his cheeks. After that, she went out of her room and began the stressful walk over to the servants' quarters. On a normal day, she would let well enough slide, but that day she just needed her best friend and a hug, and since Charity was within reach, she could see no reason to deprive herself of what she needed. She went
The next day, everyone in the mansion tried to go on with activities as usual. Alpha Amal had asked everyone to be on high alert, and the entire mansion was buzzing. Throughout the day, random acts of kindness were being done to Sam, and she was truly confused. One of her favorite things to eat with pancakes was bacon, and that morning, she was giving a breakfast of bacon and pancakes with eggs. Aside that, she was also given everything she asked for without so much as a single question. The pack members seemed to be giving her the best treatment possible, and she was confused. Alpha Amal would not notice, because he was in his room, entirely focused on the phone lines, but even he was getting treats; the chef had sent someone up with a bowl of chocolate covered strawberries, and his glass or orange juice had not run out even once. He had an extra phone brought into the room for his convenience, and over a call, he and the Elder Caleb spoke about strategies they would use to catch th
After their meeting with Alpha Amal's grandmother, she and Alpha Amal went over to the kitchen, to get a midnight snack. They had watched about 4 James Bond movies, and she had fallen asleep against Alpha Amal's shoulder. When she woke up a few hours past midnight, a blanket had been thrown over her shoulder, and Alpha Amal's grandmother was nowhere to be seen. A note had been propped under the half-empty popcorn bowl, and she pulled it out to read. In her loopy script, she had written: “When you wake up, please take the popcorn bowland empty the contents into the waste bin. Also,I know that Amal will not wake up on time, sowhen you're up Sam, be a doll and wake him too.PS: I do not trust his father as far as I canthrow him, and as you know, I am a frail old lady.Look into him, okay?Signed, G’ma.”Sam had let out a soft chuckle when she read the letter, and she had done what the note said so Alpha Amal could have a few minutes more to sleep. She had gone to her kitchen, put
The Stephens' Estate had always looked large in the town; even without being in it, everyone in town could see that it was large. In the plans in her hand, Sam could see that it was small and could get deceived into thinking it was a small area. Yet, the moment that everyone who was participating in the search went in through the wide, double gates, they all rolled to a stop.Anyone who had thought that it would be a small job was now having second thoughts, Sam herself included. The few people who seemed undaunted were the Elders and Alpha Amal, who had taken no notice of everyone else's apprehension. He had walked forward before realizing that Sam was not beside him, and he stretched out his arm for her to take, and although she was afraid, she did so, following his lead. Over the expanse of the Stephens' family estate, everyone went, taking on the posts that they had said they would. Before their arrival, Elder Caleb had split the everyone onto parties was and allocated areas
It was a sunny day, which did not match how the people in town were feeling. Still, business went on, and Sam soon found herself sitting alongside Paisley in Eileen's place, watching her try on dresses. The custom in the Dark Orchard pack was to wear anything but the color white, and Paisley could just not decide if she wanted the dress in purple or in blue. Sam was already flustered and considering making a run for it, but she had a suspicion that she was going to be caught and Paisley would have too much to say about it.Sighing, she tried again to help Paisley see reason. “Tell me the pros and cons of the dress. Why you like them and why you don't.”“I like the purple one because it's purple,” muttered Paisley, still checking her figure in the full-length mirror. “But I also like the neckline and the sleeves. Very elegant, and after helping you guys with this, I can reuse it and wear it to other places too.”Nodding in the background, Eileen agreed and watched as Paisley twirle
The next morning, Alpha Amal and Sam did something unusual, and went down the stairs to have breakfast in the dining area. She suspected that it was because they had a guest, but she could not be sure. Sometimes Alpha Amal just enjoyed spontaneity, and she knew that the other servants truly enjoyed setting up for grand meals, so it was honestly no surprise when the long table was covered with a lacy white table cloth, with placemats and a full cutlery service. On their way down the stairs, they saw Charity, who was on the side of the stairs, winking. Right as Sam passed her, the silly girl said, “ouuu, fancy!” and there up spirit fingers. It made her laugh, and Sam had to fight for her composure. She looked over at Alpha Amal who had heard Charity too, and there was a small, barely noticeable smile on his face. Oh, Charity, thought Sam. The girl was a clown and would get her in trouble one day, but not today. The dining hall was adjacent to the mansion's open floor, and already
