Niyol's POVIt was already dark and they had not been able to track down the people who took Koko along with them. Koko had disappeared too. I didn't even know how she was doing."Let's go back to the palace, Niyol. Let's go and see if anything can be traced. The investigators are working hard." Laci said, trying to prop me up."I don't want to go there. It reminds me of Koko." I responded, feeling downcast."That's more of the reason you have to go. Let's look for her everywhere. The places she usually frequents. I am sure there must be a clue somewhere. Let's just go. You also need to eat something. You haven't eaten anything since morning.""I don't have an appetite, Laci," I responded, trying to lie down again."Do you want to die before Koko comes back? Do you think she would be happy seeing you so broken?""She left me… what does she expect me to do? I'm missing her like crazy! The one month I was away, her thoughts kept me sane and now she just left." "She didn't leave, Niyole
Niyole's Mother POVAs I left the palace, I kept looking back at my son's furious face. I knew I was in deep trouble, but why was I being blamed when I only threatened her?I just threatened her because I didn't want her near my son. Which loving mother would see such a girl by their sons side? I would definitely not allow it!And I wonder why Laci was getting worked up over nothing. I just did what every loving mother would do.That cursed girl! She still had such an influence on Niyol. She was gone, yet he just won't let her go. What kind of spell did that girl use on them, that he was still vulnerable?But, I believed she won't come back again. She had better not come back, or else I was really going to drive her out myself.But why would Laci accuse me of such a thing? Why would I kidnap her when all I had to do was just to drive her out of the pack?Surely, that cursed demon must have cast a spell on my two children!I decided to go and see Maria. Did they do anything behind my
Niyol's POVI watched as my mother left me alone. I sat on the couch feeling dejected. It wasn't like I was happy talking to my mother like that, but I really was pissed off by her character.How can she still be feeling happy in a situation like this? She wasn't the least sorry about whatever she just did."I am sorry, your majesty, for barging in like that. I was just feeling concerned when I heard about the news." Henry said, bowing his head."It's okay. I understand. Besides you have been very helpful to my mate during my absence. And like I said before, I really do appreciate it. Just don't feel bothered." I responded, waving him off."Thank you, your majesty.""Henry, do you know of any other place that she might be? Like a place she likes to go to? I know she doesn't really go out, but perhaps she learned to go out these few days I was away?" I asked, desperate for anything to hold on to."None I can think of, your majesty. We always meet up at the garden whenever I came, becau
Scarlett POVI was relieved everything was working as planned. The blame was on the Queen mother. I was lucky I changed my attitude just in time or else I would have been the prime suspect.At first, I thought she was an easy push. That was why I wanted to threaten her, but I discovered that she was just acting pitiful. That girl actually had lots of willpower.I wanted to go and meet Niyol, but Henry gave me a signal to meet him up. I turned away from his lonely back and left the palace.I went straight to Province B, the warehouse we kept in Koko. That was the only safe place now that I could go to whenever I wished to see Henry without looking suspicious.At this rate now, we didn't need to be seen together for the time being. Henry came in a little later. We went to an empty room in the warehouse. Immediately we were alone, Henry pounced on me. He drew me close and raised my butt up, squeezing it tightly. I let out a soft moan."I miss you, Scarlett. I need you.""Stop it, Henry.
Chester POVFeeling guilty for leaving Niyole at the time he needed me the most, I began packing a little bit faster. If not for Juliana, my foster cousin, I wouldn't have gotten a wind of what was happening at the palace this morning. Although, I was glad that I was finally going to see that face that I had avoided for almost six months, now yet it wasn't how I planned our reunion.Scarlett.I had been secretly going to see her since she left the pack. No one knew.. maybe Niyole knew, but he had never confronted me.There was a reason I had avoided her. Whenever I saw her, there is always that feeling that creeped to my heart.As I was packing up, I raised my head up to see my foster uncle and his family. I wonder why they had to trouble themselves to come to the hotel.After Alpha Niyole left yesterday, I decided to go and visit my foster uncle who lived in the same city. I was there this morning when I heard what happened back at home.Actually it was my uncle's daughter, Juliana
Chester's POVI watched as Juliana remained calm all through. She didn't say much except when Niyol asked her something. But I noticed she was looking at Scarlett from time to time. It wasn't too obvious, but I noticed it. I had known her long enough to know when Juliana was brewing some trouble. She was certainly looking for trouble. I just hoped she doesn't cause too much trouble."Thanks Scarlett. I think I am much better. I don't want to drain you with my problems. Yesterday had taken lots of my time and energy. I think I am still going to spend more time till I find my mate." Niyol said, forcing a smile."I will always be here to help, Niyol. Just let me know how I am going to be of help and I will gladly do it. You don't have to suffer alone. Even if Koko is not…""She will be found… alive. She made me a promise and I trust her. She will never break that promise." Niyol cuts her off, his aura changing for a second."Sorry, Niyole. I… I didn't mean it that way. I am just concer
Niyol's POVI watched as the girl Chester brought asked questions about Scarlett. Juliana Roberts. I wonder why she had taken up the case. Could it be because of Chester? And what was the issue about Scarlett?Was she suspicious of Scarlett? To be honest, I was also suspicious of her at first until she stood up to my mother.I trusted that she wouldn't have anything to do with Koko's disappearance, afterall, she was against my mother's idea. She even rejected my mother's proposal to her.Then I saw her turn to me and said," Your majesty, can I take a look at Koko's room? We can all go together. It's likely that we might find a clue or two from there."I nodded and led the way, but my beta whispered to me to just stay behind if I wasn't up to the task. It was not that I wasn't up to the task. It's just that I was gradually becoming weaker.It must be something related to Koko. It was strange because I haven't marked her yet. I wasn't supposed to feel like this. So, I wonder why I was
Juliana's POVAfter the alpha and Chester left, we started searching around the room. It seemed no one had entered the room since she left because even the breakfast was still on the table and it was stinking like hell.I guess that was why those men ran off. I went to the bathroom and combed every nook and cranny, yet I couldn't pick something out. It was free from any clue whatsoever."Did you find anything, Juliana?" Laci asked.I came out of the bathroom shaking my head." Couldn't find any. I guess there isn't much to see here.""That's not good. I hoped to find something here. I am really going to go crazy before my brother does." Laci said, holding her head."It seems you like her very much even though it's not been up to two months of knowing Koko," I asked.She smiled at the mention of Koko, "You will if you know her too. She is one sweet girl that had to endure a lot because she was different. I felt pity for her when she narrated everything about her life in her previous pa
