(Alaric’s POV)
’Al, what’s with this smug smile plastered on your face, huhh?’ my wolf muttered.
’What smile? I ain’t smiling~ .... stop being delusional, you stupid wolf,’ I said, shrugging him off as I slumped onto the bed.
"Ummhmm~ .... ohh yeah. I totally can see that. You seed quite pleased today. But what are you so pleased with, hmm?’ he kept on rambling. ’Is it because of Myra? Because, unlike a couple of days back, there was no disgust in her eyes. She didn’t resist as much as she would. Or you think you have one-upped that Fabian guy?’
’Shut up, Alex.’ my mood was good today. So, I wasn’t going to give in to his pestering.
He was about to speak when my phone buzzed. I took it out to see that human girl calling.
’See, it is back again~ .... that smile,’ Alex chid. He has been blabbering too much.
I picked up the call at once, but before I could even say hello, her voice, filled with jumbled, nonsensical words, ca from the other end, "Hello~ ...ohh ... Fabian~ .... Did you arrive already? I was on the way to uni .... No, no, it won’t be any problem. I will be there soon. Sir, turn around the car and take to the downtown area."
’Fabian?’ for so reason, I was irritated to hear her say his na, I spat back, "What are you rambling? I am not Fabian Stephens. Are you drunk or what?"
For a while, there was silence on the other end. She spoke nothing; only her breathing sound ca from the other side of the line. I couldn’t help but think. ’Has she really been drinking?’
I just saw that guy, Stephens, five minutes ago. So, there was no way he was in the downtown area of Esteria. Even I, in my wolf form, won’t be able to cover that much area in such a short amount of ti. There was sothing odd about her call. I got up at once and was about to head out when I heard her voice again, "Sir, what happened? Why did you stop the car? I told you to take a U-turn?"
"Myra~ .... what car? Who are you with? Are you not at ho? Where are you right now? Answer ," I fired a flurry of questions. But instead of her answer, a man’s voice ca, "You are a handful. Give this old man a break, will you? Young lady. I said we are just about to reach. So, what’s the problem?"
"MYRA MIRACLE~ .... Answer . Are you in danger? Give a sign," I spoke again. But no answer ca from her side.
Not disconnecting the call, I made my way out of my room, in a hurry. I heard all the threats the bastard was vomiting out, and my blood boiled. ’Who the fucking hell dared to do this? I will tear him apart.’ I said, "Don’t be scared. I am on my way. And, don’t disconnect the call. Okay?"
I could hear the shivering in her voice as she asked, "What are you doing? What’s the aning of this?" Pure rage took over as I increased my speed.
Another voice, different from the previous bastard ca, "Nothing much~ ...." After that, with a beep sound, the line was disconnected. I called again, but the chanical voice echoed, saying that the device was now switched off. Nevertheless, I dialled again and again, but the result remained the sa.
As I walk out of the mansion and head towards my car, Brave’s voice stops , "Al, I wanted to tell you~ .... ummm~ .... Where are you going? At this ti?"
"There is sothing really urgent I need to take care of," I replied. "We will talk later."
"Did sothing happen? You don’t look good. Should I co with you?" he inquired. But I was pressed for ti.
I instantly shut down his offer, "No need, I can handle it. You stay at the mansion," and with that, I hopped inside as my car dashed away, full throttle.
’Alex~ ....’ I called him.
’On it already~ ....’ he answered, in sync. She sniffed the air ticulously to search for even the tiniest trace of her.
Esteria was a vast place, and not knowing exactly where she was made it all the more difficult to find her. I didn’t want to involve anyone, but with no choice left, I mind linked Dion, ’Do you have Myra’s sister’s or her friend’s number?’
’Uhhh? Why? Why are you asking that, Al?’ he sounded groggy and suspicious.
’Do you have it or not?’ I pressed.
’I have her sister’s contact,’ he told . ’Now, tell , why do you want that? What has happened? Al~ ....’ He kept on asking, but I only replied, ’Send it to ~ .... Imdiately.’ And just like that, I disconnected the link. Within a second, I received his ssage with her sister’s contact details, her na and "Why did you block the mind link, Al? Sothing has happened to Myra? Tell . Tell , dammit."
I ignored it and called the number.
"Hello~ ...." A childlike girlish voice ca from the other end.
"Where has your sister gone?" I asked her point-blank.
"Hahhh? Who is it?" she sounded confused.
Rubbing my temples, I spoke, "Alaric Everests, I need to speak with My~ .... With Ms. Miracle. Can you tell where she has gone to?
No sound ca from the other end, "Hello~ .... Hello .... Are you there?" I asked.
After clearing her throat, she said, "Mr. Everests, my sis. She is not at ho right now. Apparently, she is attending a dinner eting. She must be back soon. When she cos, I will ask her to give you a call. Or you can give your ssage, I will~ ...."
"Dinner eting? Where? With whom? Has she gone alone? Or is there soone with her?" I queried, cutting her off.
"Uhhh~ .... she has gone to Obsidian Space, The Crown Opulence Hotel for dinner with Mr. Sebastian Garcia and Mrs. Amy Garcia. She is~ .... She was in the middle of speaking when I heard another voice, "Wendy, co and help . Your sister’s call ca. She said she had caught a cold and is in a cab, returning now. So, I am preparing ginger soup for her. Help peel them."
So, she wasn’t drunk. She is in a cab~ .... this narrows down the search. And with that, I ended the call.
