Chapter 0031 Chapter 0031 Third Person POV +25 BONUS Alpha Roman was sitting beside his wife at the breakfast table, Lana Rebecca looked exhausted, as she hadnât slept much the night before.
The kidnapping had been frightening for her, but not because of the danger to her own life. She was terrified by what had nearly happened to her only child, Ella âIâm going to get to the bottom of who did this,â Roman sakkl.
Rebecca nodded her head. She was holding a cup of hot tea in her hands, but she didnât drink it. âI know that you will,â she said.
âIn the meantime, we have to be more careful.â
âWe canât keep her locked in her room,â he pointed out. âSheâs an adult.â
âI know that you wonât want to hear this, but Iâm worried about Ellaâs judgment.â
âI donât understand why she wants to go forward with her marriage to David after the way he betrayed her,â the alpha agreed.
âThatâs not what I mean,â Rebecca said with a sigh. âIâm talking about Amanda. Her behavior during the kidnapping was strange enough, but even before that, she was acting strangely. She insulted Ella openly with each gown that she tried on. And itâs odd to me that she had Davidâs credit card. Donât you think thatâs unusual?â âSheâs always been critical of Ellaâs fashion,â Roman pointed out. âThatâs just part of being a girl, isnât it?â âWhen youâre a young teenager,â Rebecca answered. âThey re adults now.
Her rude comments seem jealous to me. Itâs obvious sheâs still very close to David and doesnât plan to back off. Yet, Ella seems unbothered by it.â Alpha Roman looked at his wife thoughtfully. She was always a very good judge of character, and he trusted that she was right about this. Still, Ella seemed happy in her friendship with Amanda, and he didnât want to upset his little girl.
âWhat should we do?â he asked.
âI donât know,â she confessed. âI just donât want to give them the opportunity to hurt Ella.â
He nodded in agreement. âIâll talk to her,â he promised.
Ella POV If it wasnât for my fatherâs constant presence, I donât know that I would have been able to recover from the kidnapping so quickly.
He made it clear that no one with ill intent was going to get hear me as long as he had anything to say about it. I knew I was safe here in my own packlands. The problem was, I wasnât sure if I could feel safe in the capital anymore.
ing to prove it. I I knew that David and Amanda were likely behind the kidnapping, although I couldnât do anything just felt that it had to be them.
Who else would want to hurt or frighten me like that?
They clearly wanted to put me in my placeâmake me afraid, make me feel dependent on David again.
My father and his men had been looking into the people who took us, trying to get to the bottom of who they were and what they wanted. He also didnât believe that it was only about a ransom.
I wasnât sure what the best step to take was, so I was lying low at home. I wasnât sure if news about what had #25 BONUS Chapter 01 happened was out or not. I knew that my father was doing his best to keep It contained.
In the meantime, I decided to focus my attention on further investigating our pack. David had to have allies on the inside. He seemed to have many allies that I never knew anything about; how else could he have arranged to kidnap not only myself but my mother?
I wasnât sure if the people behind our abduction were truly rogues that he had hired or if they were only pretending to be. Either way, it seems that David had very dangerous people on his side. I had to be far more careful.
There was a knock on my door, and I heard my fatherâs voice call my name. When he came in, I could see a very concerned expression on his face. He sat on the edge of my bed and put his arm around my shoulders.
âHow are you feeling?â he asked.
âA little better,â I responded, âalthough Iâm still freaked out.â I hadnât left my room all day, so I wasnât surprised that he was worried. He must have thought that I was just afraid.
In reality, I had been using the time to make lists of every highâranking member of the pack and everything that I knew about them. It was driving me mad that I couldnât figure out who was helping David. Maybe I wasnât looking in the right places?
