Sold To My Alpha Mate

ALPHA ORION

“What do you mean by that?” The Prince asked, cocking his head.

“There is no time to waste.” Emily struggled with her words but soon explained what she meant immediately.

“She came with another girl during the registration. They both had cut hair and from their dresses, it looked like they were both trying to hide their identity.” She announced. The Prince shrugged.

“Then, what does the other girl have to do with this?” He asked. “I think she’s still in the maid’s quarters right now. I made her work so much so I think she would he asleep right now.” There was a hint of hope in her voice.

“And what if they don’t have anything to do with each other.” The Prince asked.

“I strongly suspect they do.” I said, while Emily continued. “She said the girl was her elder sister. And that they were orphans. That was the info I got from Ursula.” She said,

“Ursula employed maids without a background check?!” The Prince growled. “She’ll learn to do her job well when I teach her a lesson.”

That was the moment I caught a brainwave about what they were saying right now.

“She didn’t actually have a sister when she came to our Pack. But I think she took another strong, female guard with her while coming here. Recently, I haven’t seen one of the female guards often, and she seemed to disappear at the time Maya disappeared also. Her name… is Tianna.” I added a question.

“Is that what she told you her name is?” Emily shook her head defeatedly. “Of course not. We don’t have such name.” The Prince shook his head again.

“Then we shouldn’t be standing here doing nothing. Let’s get to the root of this immediately.” He said before he turned towards the hallway again and began to hurry. It took a lot of doing to catch up with him, because it felt like running after him. His long strides told us a lot about the kind of power and energy that was brimming inside him. I wondered how he was going to break her back when he caught Maya. Maya wouldn’t have a dog’s chance in hell if she ever came to face off the Prince.

We hurried to the quarters and the first thing we saw shocked us. The door had been brought down, and there was a guard lying down there. Other maids were out of their rooms now, trying to get the large door away so the guard could be taken to the Pack hospital.

“What happened here?” The Prince questioned, as his eyes ran over the place.

One of them answered immediately. “Nobody knows. We just heard a loud bang and when we came outside. This was what we saw.” She said,

He nodded. “And when did this happen?” Her brows folded as she thought about it. I hoped it hadn’t been too long.

“Five minutes ago at least.” She said.

“Shit!” I hissed.

He turned towards me. “She hasn’t gotten too far if that’s it.” He pulled the door off the guard immediately and asked Emily to show him their room.

We walked towards the room silently but hastily. Getting there, he pushed the door open with a sudden force that broke off one of the hinges. All we met there was a pile of mess. Clothes were strewn about and the whole room had been turned upside down. It was too late now- Tianna was nowhere to be found.

“Looks like she came back and took her friend with her. That would be a double kill whenever we find the both of them.” He smiled. I was surprised that despite how grave the situation was, he still had some hope that they were going to catch someone who had escaped five minutes ago. She was not a snail, she was a very fast runner, so it would be sensible to say that they had gone very far by now.

“What about your men, you haven’t summoned them.” I asked in panic.

“Of course I have.” He said before walking into the room. He grabbed some clothes and wrapped them with each other.

Then he continued. “I summoned all of them through the mindlink. They’ve already started the hunt for her.” He said before getting out of the room.

“And what are those clothes for?” Emily asked.

“Do you care?” He asked her.

“I’m just curious,” she said, ” because I suspected there was actually something going on between you and her after you had her transferred. I thought my Prince was in love with a lowly maid.”

He scoffed and turned around. There was a smile on his lips. “You know, you might be right, actually. But I wasn’t. She was just interesting and beautiful. So why not. And she caught my impression after the war with the rogues.” The seriousness returned again as he finished off his speech. “There was nothing between the both of us and this is meant for the trackers. It will be enough to have them detect their scent from far away. Trust me when I tell you that they will be apprehended very soon. They can run all they want, but they won’t be running for too long. I have people hiding in the shadows, people who will thwart their plan before they even realise what’s happening.”

With the way he spoke now, the hope was slowly seeping back. I actually felt a lot better and something told me that this was actually happening. They were going to be caught, and my name was going to be cleared before the news got back. I smiled as I nodded.

“Thank you so much. I can’t wait to have her head as soon as she has been caught.” He shook his head.

“We don’t do things like that here. When she gets back. First we are going to have her tortured so much that we will finally get her to turn against Venom. When that has happened, we will have her fight against the Pack during the war. I’m sure, from your description, that she will be a good fighter.”

I nodded, liking his suggestion.

“That’s an intelligent idea. But be aware that she’s a snake.”

He laughed, but suddenly the laugh stopped, as if he had been stung. He had recurred a message from the mind link. I knew it.

“What is it?” I asked. He gave me a very worried look.

“You were right, she’s a snake. She just escaped the boundary with the other girl.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
