CHAPTER 127

Chapter 127

A/N; To those asking, we aren’t at the end of book I yet, there are still a few chapters and extra chapters to go. Also, Book 2 will manifest itself by the end of book L. You’ll be able to read it as a standalone for new readers and at the same time, it’ll be a continuation of Book 1 since you’ll continue to read about your favorite characters. Thank you for your support. (P.S. I made a little adjustment in the previous chapter, Mason left that night not the following morning)

Angela’s POV

TWO WEEKS Later, my baby was still nowhere to be found. Everything didn’t seem to make sense anymore. I was only still holding on because of my condition. I was so close to losing my mind. A lot has happened since then but nothing compared to how I go to bed every night with the thoughts of my baby still missing.

Right after Darius told me she was missing. I went straight into panic mode and never got back to my normal self. I rushed into her room to see for myself but she wasn’t there.

“Reina is not in there. She’s not in her room. Where could she be, Darius?” I began asking a thousand and one questions.

Nothing seemed to be the right answer for me. Nothing seemed to make sense. Before I could blink my eyes, Azalea, Stanley, and a few others had arrived at the Alpha’s mansion.

We all walked around the premises, both within and outside the house, looking for R

Reina but she wasn’t found. When some pack members living closer to us heard our voices, they all came out and joined the search. Before we knew it, all the pack members knew that Reina was missing

“Someone should call my mom and ask her if Reina is with her, I suggested.

Azalea looked at me sadly. “I was just coming from there, Madam. She wasn’t there before I left but I’ll call to confirm,”

A few minutes later, he whispered something to Darius who looked at me and shook his head.

Angela was not at my mom’s place. Someone sent out a message through the mind link to inform those who haven’t heard and asked everyone to look around their house. Reina was even more popular in the pack than I was. Eight out of ten people knew who she was. Those eight knew exactly who they were looking for.

Darius wanted to extend his search to the borders and I insisted on following him.

“No! No, baby. You need to stay back at home. You can’t stress too much.

Darius suggested.

“I can’t sit back and not do anything. Darius. My baby is missing and 1 need to find her

“What if she returned home and didn’t find anyone here! You know she could be around hiding somewhere or something. You should wait for her here. Wait with Stanley. Please!” he advised.

I cried on his shoulder before I let him go and made him promise to return with Reina.

Darius came back with nothing other than the necklace he gave to Reina. The same one I had a similar type. It was found just a few steps away from my mom’s place, behind the flowers. Darius checked his computer to see if Reina pressed the button since he hadn’t received any notification on his phone but he found nothing.

She knew she was supposed to press that button if she was in danger. Why didn’t she? Why was the necklace found a few meters away from my mom’s place? Was she going there to my mom’s? Why would she go out of the house at night Wasn’t she sleeping?

A thousand and one questions ran through my head but I couldn’t find an answer for it.

They in

tried tracing her scent but the rain had already washed it away. Not even her footsteps could be seen on the ground.

My mom came over to me that night and I cried on her shoulder, Darius went back out and only came back the following morning. He’d reached out to Mason and asked if he saw Reina before leaving that night or maybe he’d mistakenly left with Reina but he was as surprised as we were that Reina was missing.

“Angela,”

Someone called my name. I pushed my thoughts to the back of my head and turned to Halle,

I was at the hospital for a checkup. It’s been two weeks since I felt normal. I couldn’t gather the strength to visit the hospital and get checked out but for the sake of the twins, I had to pull myself together.

Chapter 127

Halle helped me down from the bed once she was done with the sonography. She’d called me earlier and encouraged me to come for my checkup Her words gave me the strength I needed.

“Your twins are doing just fine, Angela. But you’re not in a good condition and it could end up affecting the twins in the long run

“What do you want me to do, Halle? Act as though everything is normal. Am I supposed to move on just like that! My daughter is still missing” 1 cried.

I know how painful it is, Angela but for the sake of these babies you have to pull yourself together,”

She advised. I knew she was right. In fact, she was very right but I just couldn’t take my mind off it Reina was out there in danger or hurt and I didn’t even know what to do to help her.

How could she disappear from the house without a trace? A lot of pack members were beginning to ask me if she was acting differently before she disappeared. How could they insinuate something was wrong with my daughter and I didn’t notice it? How could they look me in the eyes and tell me I was a terrible mother?

Halle didn’t say anything else. She forced me to drink water and eat some fruit before I left the hospital. She promised to come over to my place that night to see me like she’d done for the past few days.

Once I got home, Darius and the rest of the guys who went in search of Reina were back. Darius walked up to me. I stared at his hands and saw he was holding Reina’s favorite pajamas, the same one she wore on the night she went missing.

“We found this at a Riverbank but fortunately, there was no blood on it and we also canvassed the river, but there was no sign of her,”

I sucked in a deep breath before tears fell down my eyes. That means it’s possible she’s alive somewhere,”

He nodded before cleaning my tears. Tm holding on to that. She has to stay alive until I find her and I’ll find her very soon,”

I placed my head on his chest and he kissed my hair. “Have you heard back from Mason?”

Mason was supposed to help us find her in his own way. “He’s still walking through dreams. He said he’s walked through about a hundred and he still has not found her yet but I’m hoping he’ll find her soon.

I was also holding on to that faith.
