Chapter 433
433-Coming Inside.
“You didn’t answer me,” I repeated my question and waited for him to respond to me. He looked a littlelost before he rolled his eyes at me to dismiss my emotions.
“It wasn’t Val! I mean, it was her, but it was some office work,” he said to himself in the same sentenceand then walked past me to rush into the mansion.
“Sorry! I forgot you are —,” he said, stopping just as he was about to enter and turned to offer me hishand. I stared at his hand for a second before I didn’t accept it and strolled past him to the inside. Iknow he was busy somewhere, but that he didn’t even care about me as his friend had surprised me alot.
Although there were no expectations left after that night, I was willing to stay silent until I found a wayout of this town. Maybe I can try to leave with Oswin. I remember he had told me that he could offerone person the chance to live as a rogue with him, and Corbin might not be able to do anything about itbecause Oswin was a fighter, a hero now.
“Why don’t you rest a bit while I make a quick run to the office?” Lazlo helped me settle down in thebed first before sliding in the request. He sounded very low when talking about leaving this time. Inoticed how he avoided eye contact and kept rubbing his hands.
“You have work to do at this time.” I frowned, watching him nod his head instead of answering me withwords.
“You think you will be fine?” he asked, focusing on the blanket more than me.
“I will be fine,” I said, lying to him. My head was hurting from being low on energy. I bet I had a fevertoo, but Lazlo had some important meetings that prevented him from noticing how down I was feeling.
Soon, he dressed up in a black suit and left for work. I stayed in bed for a few minutes, feeling a littleweird about Lazlo and his late night meetings. I remembered asking one of the colleagues, and he wasas surprised as I was. Nobody knew about these meetings, so who was he meeting, anyway?
Not wanting to focus on anything that consumes my energy, I decided to call Oswin and talk to him. Ihaven’t heard from him since then. I was kind of hoping he would call to check up on me.novelbin
I dialed his number for the next few minutes, but it seemed like he had turned off his cellphone. Thatwas normal because of the severity of his tasks.
“Ugh!” I squirmed uncomfortably, touching my forehead and feeling this weird uneasiness as ifsomething were not right.
“I must just close my eyes and—-,” As soon as I closed my eyes, the earth shook and the power cut off.
“What the f*ck!” A loud gasp and a hard tremble were all I could remember. I felt an eerie feeling of fearwrap me in its arms.
“What was that?” I asked myself, looking around in the dark and running my hand under my pillow tolook for my cellphone.
“What is happening?” A loud thud on all the windows made me let out a yelp before I jumped off thebed and started pointing my phone’s flashlight around. Suddenly it got all silent.
“I feel weird,” I uttered, feeling a light headache once again. It had to be because of the instantmovements. But the earthquake and the power cuts made me feel like something was not right.
I started calling Lazlo’s number, but he didn’t pick up. He has expressed his disagreement with me fortaking over the matter. I would have still done my research if I had my wolf with me. Being a humanmakes me miserable, especially when I have survived such a fatal fall.
I grabbed a long coat and rushed towards the exit. I need to speak to Lazlo and inspect what is goingon. The instant I was out of the mansion, I was surprised to see the pack members sitting on the roadand hugging each other.
“What is going on?” I asked them, realizing what might have caused them to leave their houses.
“The noises!” one of the pack members complained. “We keep hearing some knocking on the doors. Itis as if somebody is trying to get in,” he added. I felt shivers run down my spine at the weird statement.Who wants to come into this world so desperately?
I looked around and watched everybody nod their heads.
“What do we do?” another member asked. “Where is our alpha?” she questioned, and I gulped.
“He is in the office, working hard for the betterment of the pack,” + excused because I had seen thelook of disappointment in their eyes when looking for their alpha and not finding him.
“I will go get him,” I said, avoiding the conversation to reach a point where they ask me why didn’t I trycalling him.
I rushed into a car with the pack member who was going to be my ride. The power hadn’t come backon, so I was worried about the state of the pack. The pack members cannot sleep on the roads, andthey refuse to get into their homes due to the knocking noises they claim to hear.
I heard the thuds on the window, but before hearing anything else, I walked out of the mansion. The carparked in the parking lot of the office and I sprinted to take the elevator. I made my way in hasteupstairs to look for Lazlo.
“Lazlo?” I called out, frowning when all the meeting rooms were empty. I was left with no other optionbut to look for him in his own office. But before I could even reach his office, I passed by the room they
have set aside for resting, and the light coming from it was a sign that he was in there.
That wasn’t the only thing I noticed. He wasn’t surely alone because I heard moans coming from inside.
