Novel & Cerita Then She Was Gone Series

"Where is she now?" "She fled during the attack. We're tracking her." "Find her. Before I do." Vance nodded and left. I turned to Adrian. "Seris. Where is she and how's she doing?" Adrian's face went pale. "She's missing too. After your mother died, she disappeared from the hospital. Her bed was empty. The nurses said she walked out on her own.” I swallowed, lost in deep thoughts. Had she been faking it all these while? "Call Rowan's pack. Tell him I need to see him. Now."

She knew it was a vain thing to delay the truth so she told him, “She is gone. I think she went to look for a herb that can cure her heat.” “WHAT?!”

I shout now, my heart pounding. 'Zane. She is not there anymore. She is gone,' Claw sounds broken. 'Gone? No, she can never have disappeared. She wants to be with us'. 'No, Zane. There's more to it'…

Clutching her arms, I see her dig her own nails into her skin. I couldn’t believe she was gone. Even though it was completely the wrong time for it, my mind flashed back to the moment she kissed me. It felt so passionate. She still feels real to me, like she is still here...how could she be gone? *insert memories, flashbacks, etc, FILL THIS GAP*

She’s gone. I stared at the nurse, waiting for her to say something else, something like, “Wait—there’s been a mistake,” or “She’s stable, I’m sorry, I got the name wrong.” But she didn’t. She turned and walked away slowly, respectfully—leaving destruction in her wake. I took a step back. My knees buckled. She’s gone. No more sketchbook. No more late-night phone calls. No more crooked smile as she told me I was annoying and adorable in the same breath. No more star gazing. No more bracelets.

No warmth, no breathing that wasn't his own, no gentle stirring of chaos magic that had become as familiar as his own heartbeat. Gone. The word hit him like physical blow, like void-enhanced weapon cutting through defenses he hadn't known he'd lowered. She was gone. Not in the washroom, not on the balcony, not somewhere within reach—gone with completeness that made the chamber feel like tomb. Gone, and the bed is cold. How long has she been gone? How long have I been sleeping alone while she... while she...

The fact that I could leave without a sound… was partly thanks to him. Melissa, who had been quietly watching, suddenly let out a small laugh at their panicked expressions. "I bet she's just playing hard to get. There's no way she'd give up this kind of life. While you're all worrying about her, she's probably already sneaked off to Nebula City for the competition." Charles immediately had someone check my flight information, and they found records of a 3:00 pm flight to Nebula City. "She really went to Nebula City."

I had not expected her to react like this upon hearing about my death. But what did it matter? It could not bring me back. Mason's assistant stood off to the side, completely at a loss. Vega was the one funding everything, and no one could afford to offend her. … By the time Vega left the police station, her legs were too weak to support her. My body had been so soaked by seawater that it was barely recognizable. The police said the killer had already been found. The beach was usually deserted. This time, I had only been discovered because a couple had gone there on a date.

"Take your time. What happened?" George sat, took a deep breath, and said heavily, "It's Kendra. She was attacked." My stomach dropped. My hand curled into a tight fist. "When?" "Yesterday, on the road leading to the base. She's at the hospital now," George replied. I grabbed my coat and bolted out the door. I drove like a madman toward the hospital, my heart pounding in my chest. When I arrived, Kendra had already lost all vital signs and was covered with a white sheet.

But as I made my way upstairs, my phone vibrated. A mindlink. I groaned. “What is it, Zane?” I snapped. “Um… Alpha, we have a problem.” I stilled. “What kind of problem?” Zane hesitated. “It’s—uh—so…” “Get to it, Zane! I don’t have all day.” A pause. Then, finally— “She’s gone,” he muttered. A cold chill crept down my spine. “What do you mean gone? Who’s gone?”
