Chapter 122
Talia was in tears.
She couldn’t help but always shed a few when it came to Nancy. How can she tell Nancy just how much worth she was?
She hated when her best friend always blamed herself for things that went wrong.
“Nancy,” She sniffed. “Nothing is wrong with you.” She said for the nth time, wiping her eyes.
“Then why does he hate me p>
“He just doesn’t know your worth. And you’d be stupid if you keep throwing yourself at him. You’re a queen… you’re a prized gem. A rare female Alpha. He should be the one crawling to you and not the other way round p>
“I’ve done everything possible for him to see just how willing I am to be by his side all the time, but he still sees me as a kid p>
“How pitiful~.” Someone purred behind her, and with a gasp, she fell back, scrambling on her hands and feet as she looked up at the horrific scene before her.
“Kitsunes!?” She was shocked,
But not as shocked as the person on the other line.
“What?! What did you just say? Nancy where are you p>
A shrill scream from Nancy caused her to abruptly drop her phone.
“Nancy?!” She screamed, picking up her phone again.
However, everything turned silent.
Her heart was in panic. For a full minute, she didn’t have a single idea of what to do but just pace around the room, horrified.
She contemplated on who to call. Daniel? Jephthah?
But she knew that at the end of the day, she had to call him p>
Sighing, she texted John to send her someone’s number since she was aware of how John was well conversant with almost everyone in the werewolf territory.
His message came five minutes later and she didn’t hesitate to dial the number.
“Who?” His deep voice pierced through her ear like a growl.
“It’s Talia,” She spat. “Your mate’s friend. Do you have any F**KING idea where she is p>
Nancy gasped in pain as she was flung towards a tree again, before falling on her face, her hair ruffled. Her nose and the side of her lips were bleeding profusely.
Excited shrill laughters echoed above her in the air as she slowly got up, holding onto the side of the tree for dear life.
“Alright,” One suddenly stopped laughing. “Play time’s over. Let’s go p>
“You’re coming with us.” The other added in amusement, seeing the confused look on Nancy’s face.
They had few scratches on their faces which were slowly healing, evident that their fight with Nancy wasn’t one sided. However, she was outnumbered, so they still had the upper hand over her.
Before Nancy could make a move, one blew dark smoke particles from her hand and the girl fell to the ground, weak and unconscious.
Raiden entered the office.
“The entire pack is surrounded by the pack warriors. Everyone is on the look out for her. If she hasn’t been taken away, that is p>
Liliana entered after. She looked furious.
“You two were together! How could she have gotten that far to be accosted by Kitsunes p>
Koan sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
“I really don’t have time to argue with you Liliana. Can we just focus on the matter before us now p>
Liliana was furious. With BOTH men. But she managed to fold her arms across her chest with a smouldering look on her face as she muttered.
“If anything happens to her,” She looked at Koan. “I’ll hate you p>
With that, she leaves, and he just stared at in disbelief.
Raiden folded his arms.
“What did you do p>
Koan glared at him.
“Why Is everyone assuming I had something to do with her disappearance p>
“She’s usually glued to you, you must have done something to push her away from you p>
Koan was about to answer when he saw his phone ringing again.
He sighed at the familiar number before picking up.
“What now p>
“I’m close p>
His frown deepened.
“What do you mean p>
Talia looked out the window of the car she was in speeding towards Crescent Moon’s pack boundary.
“I’m close to your pack p>
“What p>
“Do you realize what it means for the Kitsunes to have her under their mercy? Do you know just how important she is to me… at least not you… but to me. Do you know that p>
“There is no need for you to come. We can handle this p>
She sneered.
“They took your mate right under your nose, Alpha p>
“Y “
“You don’t have the rights to tell me not to worry about my best friend. And I can choose to come look for her if I want. If something happens to her, I don’t think I’ll be able to forgive myself p>
“Talia p>
“Her father never loved her. Her step mother never did and they’re planning on giving away her rights to a snobbish princess who doesn’t deserve it. And still, all she ever wanted was for her mate to love her and accept her. She never did anything to you Koan! She just wanted the love she never got since childhood. And you… you pushed her away…. This is all your fault p>
She ended the call, and Koan just stared at the phone blankly.
“Who was that?” Raiden asked.
“Talia. She’s coming here. She’s close even. Inform the warriors to let her through p>
Raiden surprised, but it didn’t really show if he was or not. The shock of Nancy’s disappearance still left a bad taste on his tongue, so he was still trying to accommodate the shocking news.
“Sure p>
Raiden left while Koan collapsed on his seat, his face still in disbelief. He thought about the last time he saw Nancy, the look of hurt and acception in her eyes.
Subconsciously he held his chest and bent low, close to his desk, feeling a slight pang of pain which he had never felt before.
Was it her disappearance that made him feel this way?
After a while, Raiden burst through the doors holding a bracelet.
“Did… Was Nancy perhaps wearing this today p>
Koan caught the bracelet which he threw mid air and stared at it with a complicated expression which remained that way for several minutes.
After some time, he began to tremble as the bracelet fell at his side of the desk as he held his head with two hands.
“Koan!” Raiden was at his side immediately
He had NEVER see him like this before.
Of course Koan had seen the bracelet, she had been wearing it this morning.
But he just had one disturbing question to ask p>
“Why the f**k does it have blood stains over it p>
