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
Henry's POVI went to the bar area of the pub and ordered a strong drink with my Delta, sitting across the table. I slowly drank my wine as my thoughts were scattered all over the place. If Niyol was able to find Koko, then I would have to save not only my neck, but also my father's pack too. But if it was otherwise, then I should be ready to enjoy the benefits that came with Scarlett being a Luna. It was not like I was madly in love with her or something. She was just a pawn I was using to gain power, so I could secure my father's throne.My brothers were all eyeing the throne and I needed to have a powerful connection. It would be better if Scarlett could succeed.I looked around the pub and suddenly felt lonely. I so much wished I had a mate of my own. I was already feeling bored with all these prostitutes whenever I couldn't get through to Scarlett.She had been avoiding me for sometime, except for the last time we made love. I didn't love her, but I loved our lovemaking session
Henry's POVI was in deep thought at what Mike just said. Why would the Alpha be looking for me?"Scarlett, do you have any idea why he would be looking for me?" I asked."I don't think it's something you have to be worried about. Maybe he just wants to ask you about that cursed girl. You know apart from Laci, you are that bitch's only friend. I guess it must be something related to that." she replied.But why does my heart feel panicky? It seems as if I was going to face something terrible. I shook off the bad thoughts from my head.I quickly put on my shirt and pants so I could go to the palace. I didn't know what was happening that made the Alpha want to see me.I hoped it wasn't something that would cause me trouble."I am going with you, Henry," Scarlett told me."You know you shouldn't. What if they become suspicious?" I refused."They wouldn't if we didn't arrive at the same time." she replied, adamantly."Alright. But you have to come later." I told her.I bent towards her and
