Chapter 7 CARLYLE’S POV Setting out in search of my mate was a task that had me extremely nervous. As soon as it was daylight, I began the search for her, retacing my steps. All night, I found it hard to sleep. My mind was muddled with so many disturbing thoughts. Images of Andrea and Marcus flashed through my mind severally that I had to work out overnight to unleash my anger in some way. After an hour of strenuous exercises, I still couldn’t get my mind to settle and ended up getting busy with attending to pack documents. “Serves you right, Carl,” Laryl said for the umptenth time since we found out that Andrea and her wolf was cheating on us. I would have shut my wolf out completely with his disturbance but I didn’t. Wasn’t he right? I deserved everything that happened to me. An Alpha who could discover the most hidden spy in his pack couldn’t find out in time that his woman was cheating on him. Not with just anyone but with his closest and most trusted guard. How could I be so blind? It was something I found so hard to believe. Laryl was so happy when I set out in search of my one night stand mate. Heading out, only one thing was on my mind. How do I get to her? I had no idea of her identity or how I could get to her, aside from that she was my mate. Since I haven’t marked her, it would be difficult for me to identify or locate her. “How to start, Laryl?” I was so confused. “Stop kidding, Carlyle. Let’s begin from where we met her. With the way I saw her that day, she doesn’t look like one who frequents bars.” “Sincerely speaking, you’re being a total as s right now. At least, let’s make a move. Who knows? We might be lucky.” Laryl suggested, his words aligning with that I had in mind. Frantically scanning the bar when I got there, there was no one in sight who looks like her. I followed my thoughts of asking around, I doubted if it would yield any positivity. “Hey, have you seen any lady recently who looks….” I described the features I can remember about
my mate to the waitress. “No, I haven’t.” She answered, but I continued with my questions, exuding an aura of desperation. “Asking her won’t do any good, fellow. Find other means.” Laryl was as anxious as I am. It wouldn’t be wrong to say he wanted her badly than I do. Chapter 7 Mar I did a fast calculation, thinking of what to do next. “Can I get the CCTV footage from three weeks ago?” I asked the waitress. “No, sir, you can’t. It’s beyond my power to provide you such information.” She said. I knew what she wanted and what worked well in such systems. Being a businessman taught me a lot about knowing how to find my way. My hands went in my pants’ pocket and I fl*pped out quite some bills of currency on the table for her to take. As expected, it worked just quite well. She directed me to the room I was going to get what I needed. It was like the money paved the way for me in so many ways. Well, an added advantage was that I was a VIP customer of the bar. My mate was nowhere to be found after watching two weeks duration of the CCTV footage. At this point, I was getting tired and frustrated about the whole thing. Just when I was about to give up, she showed up in the previous days’ footage. Her facial. expression was nothing to write home about in the video cl*p. Looked like she was kind. of sad or had something bothering her. Analysing her possible location from the footage, it dawned on me that I was at a dead end. There was no way I was going to reach her. The CCTV didn’t capture the direction she was headed for. I left the bar with a completely bothered mind. “Gentleman, have this.” An old lady reached out to me just as soon as I stepped outside the bar. “What’s this?” I asked, opening my palm to receive a peony brooch. “I saw you ask for a lady and from the description, it seems to be the lady who forgot this here. I kept it because it looks expensive and might be important to her. Help return it to the owner.” The old lady concluded and left. She didn’t give me the chance to ask her any further question. “Alpha Carlyle, there’s an emergency.” Vardon, my newly appointed personal guard mind-linked me.
It didn’t take me anything to award the offenders, Andrea and Marcus the appropriate punishments. I banished them both from my pack. “Alright, Vardon. I’ll be there soon,” I replied to his notice. In no time, I showed up in my pack, headed straight for my office. There, two pack elders were awaiting my presence. “I got the message. What’s the problem?” “Donnie is missing.” Elder Aaron replied with an emergent tone that signified importance. 會72%. Chapter 7 “Donnie Who’s that?” “The lady whom you went on a blind date with. Elder Meyer’s first niece. Her parents reported her missing few hours after she met you. “What does that meant That I’m responsible for her disappearance? The lady I never met?” “Did you just say you never met her?” Both elders were confused. I went there but something came up and I left before we had the chance to meet each other. I clarified myself before I would be bombarded with so many questions. Despite that I have the full control of the pack as the Alpha. I had to respect the opinions of the elders and a little sign of disrespect from me to them could be detrimental to me. “Then what really happened? Why did she suddenly go missing? Her parents are so sad at the moment and the rumour about your possible involvement is spreading fast.” “Where’s her house? “It’s close to the Servib royal family. You know, we’re somehow related.” “Let’s go,” I ordered, headed for the lady’s house while they briefed me about important points that I should take note of Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
