My arms flailed wildly in the air as the person pulled me behind the trees. My screams were reduced to nothing by the fabric that covered my mouth. The person's strength was greater than mine so my effort was meaningless. When the person came to a halt, he appeared in front of me to stop me from running away and handed over a small envelope to me. Behind the envelope, it said, ‘I mean no harm. Be calm. Just open the envelope.’ in the same handwriting as last time. How could I trust this person? What if a bomb or something that could harm me that was inside the envelope? Out of curiosity, I opened the envelope and slipped out a photograph. There was a child in the picture who was facing backwards and was running into the arms of two people whose faces were cropped out. The photograph looked old, like it was taken many years ago. I lifted a confused brow at the person who nodded for me to continue. Lifting the photo up, there was a different note. 'Lift the paper up. And goodbye.’ “

Scarlett had requested for me to bring her breakfast to her room. I knew it meant she had something to say. I headed to her bedroom and walked in after she permitted me to, serving her dinner on the table. “So, I’m confused again. I feel like I sounded stupid for mentioning the anniversary to Keegan and asking him to act like my boyfriend, at the sane time. It didn’t make any sense, right?” Of course it didn’t! But there was no way I was saying that to her. “I ought to have said it in a more playful manner.” Her eyebrows were curled upwards in worry. “The party is soon and I don’t know what to do. How am I supposed to go there without him? My parents would think I’m crazy for deceiving them.” she rumbled. “I’m sure it’ll be fine.” I had no idea on how I was supposed to help her, but I was glad she could confide in me. “No way! I want Keegan to come with me.” She groaned, burying her head in a pillow. “Gosh, I’m so frustrated!”“If he doesn’t—”“If he doesn’t come with me, my parent

~ JANE ~  “I can’t believe he actually agreed!” Scarlett squeaked, throwing a dress into her suitcase. “What sort of magic do you possess?”  “Magic? No, it’s just Chloe’s advice.” I waved a hand over my face.  “Chloe? Who’s Chloe?”  “An omega, from Night Shadow pack.” “Oh. That's new.” “She's such a great friend and I miss her so damn much.” I smiled.  “I used to be your only friend. Shouldn’t I be jealous now?” She chuckled.  “Why would you be?”  “Anyway, I don’t know what magic Chloe possesses, but I’m very grateful to her. I can’t believe grumpy Keegan would agree. I&r

I continued searching everywhere for the omega, but there was still no sign of her. What the hell? Where could she be? I headed to Mrs. Bea’s chamber and burst the door open without thinking twice. “Mrs. Bea! Where is the omega?” Her eyes were widened by my barging in. She had a bunch of money in her hand that she quickly hid behind her. “Al-Alpha, you’re… here…”“I asked where the fuck is my omega?” she flinched at the loudness of my voice. “I have no idea where Jane is.”“Aren’t you in charge of assigning her to duties?” I asked with clenched fists and jaws. “Ye-yes, but I haven't seen her today. I was searching for her everywhere but couldn’t find her. I was mad that it had passed the time for her to make breakfast for the pack house, but she wasn’t doing that.”“Why didn’t you inform me about that?”“I had no idea… I mean, I was going to, I didn’t think she was missing or something, I only thought… I thought… I didn’t know, Luna mind-linked me while I was still searching for h

I was re-reading the address Casper had sent. There was no way I could miss this chance to experience something that sounded so fun. My gaze met the fury-laced gaze of the petite woman; her brown eyes felt like they were shooting daggers at me. She hadn’t taken her eyes off me for even a moment since she got here. She had even called someone else to return the tray to the kitchen. Of course, the lady had also glared at me like I was a piece of shit. “I don’t know whatever stupid thing you’re trying to do, but I won’t disobey Alpha’s order and I’ll watch you till you fall asleep.” She gruffed. “Can’t you at least—”“It’s not like I’m interested in watching over you, so just remain quiet to avoid pissing me off even more.” She rolled her eyes and finally sat on the couch. I internally groaned, this frustration was becoming unbearable. Being in the same room with her made me feel like I was choking. I knew Alpha Keegan was going to make me resume my punishments, but this was way too
