Chapter 409
(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 seemed 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 p>
’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 chimed. 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, came 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 me to the downtown area p>
’Fabian?’ for some reason, I was irritated to hear her say his name, I spat back, “What are you rambling? I am not Fabian Stephens. Are you drunk or what p>
For a while, there was silence on the other end. She spoke nothing; only her breathing sound came from the other side of the line. I couldn’t help but think. ’Has she really been drinking p>
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 time. There was something 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 p>
“Myra~ what car? Who are you with? Are you not at home? Where are you right now? Answer me,” I fired a flurry of questions. But instead of her answer, a man’s voice came, “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 p>
“MYRA MIRACLE~ Answer me. Are you in danger? Give me a sign,” I spoke again. But no answer came 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 p>
I could hear the shivering in her voice as she asked, “What are you doing? What’s the meaning of this?” Pure rage took over me as I increased my speed.
Another voice, different from the previous bastard came, “Nothing much~ After that, with a beep sound, the line was disconnected. I called again, but the mechanical voice echoed, saying that the device was now switched off. Nevertheless, I dialled again and again, but the result remained the same.
As I walk out of the mansion and head towards my car, Brave’s voice stops me, “Al, I wanted to tell you~ ummm~ Where are you going? At this time p>
“There is something really urgent I need to take care of,” I replied. “We will talk later p>
“Did something happen? You don’t look good. Should I come with you?” he inquired. But I was pressed for time.
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 meticulously 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 p>
’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 me. ’Now, tell me, why do you want that? What has happened? Al~ He kept on asking, but I only replied, ’Send it to me~ Immediately.’ And just like that, I disconnected the link. Within a second, I received his message with her sister’s contact details, her name and “Why did you block the mind link, Al? Something has happened to Myra? Tell me. Tell me, dammit p>
I ignored it and called the number.
“Hello~ A childlike girlish voice came 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 me where she has gone to?
No sound came 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 home right now. Apparently, she is attending a dinner meeting. She must be back soon. When she comes, I will ask her to give you a call. Or you can give me your message, I will~ p>
“Dinner Meeting? Where? With whom? Has she gone alone? Or is there someone 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, come and help me. Your sister’s call came. She said she had caught a cold and is in a cab, returning now. So, I am preparing ginger soup for her. Help me peel them p>
So, she wasn’t drunk. She is in a cab~ this narrows down the search. And with that, I ended the call.
