Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

146 - Where Are They?

LUCY.

We stayed for another hour, giving instructions and reminders to the warriors who would stay here, together with Beta Collin.

The omegas working in the packhouse had returned and volunteered to prepare food for Blade and the other warriors, which was already a good sign.

Most of the pack was already sleeping, but I was sure there would be a big crowd waiting for Blade tomorrow.

And as much as Adan wanted to help a brother out, he didn’t want to interfere with Blade or make his presence known, giving the pack the idea to choose him just to spite Blade.

After his one-on-one talk with Blade, we prepared ourselves to return to our territory.

Blade offered to have us use one of the cars around the packhouse, but Adan declined as we would rather do it by transporting us in a split second as we both missed our son by now.

We only took seven warriors with us.

Two of them were injured, while the other four would help carry the dead warriors’ bodies, which reminded me that I had to meet their family today to personally send our condolences and offer help.

But in the meantime, I just wanted to go home, hug both Aiden and Adan in my arms, and get some sleep before the sun came up.

After we said our goodbyes to Blade and Collin and made sure the warriors were ready to go, I transported them first to where they should be before Adan and I appeared at the receiving hall of the packhouse.

It was only five in the morning and still dark outside, but the whole house was lit up, and it seemed everyone was already up.

Mom immediately rose from the couch she was sitting on, rushed to me, and held my hands the moment we appeared.

"Oh, Lucy!"

They didn’t spend the night here, so why were they here in the wee hours of the morning? My heart began thudding loudly as fear crept through me.

"What's going on?" Adan asked, and both our gazes went around the room.

"Where is Aiden?"

Sobs escaped Mom’s throat before Dad pulled her away from me and Laira began to talk.

"We can’t find them.We searched the entire house, and Kingston had already given the order to search the entire territory."

"What do you mean you can’t find him? He’s with Lucius! My brother!" I told her in a slightly higher voice as panic arose in my chest.

I tried to connect my mind with my brother’s, but his mind was shut off.

"Luna Lucy, I didn’t know you left.If I knew, I would have stayed with them and watched him."

Natasha butted in, she was the personal omega I chose to help me with Aiden when I needed assistance.

"It’s not your fault.I left in a hurry."
