Chapter 15 : Why Can’t You Just Listen?

*Soren*

I waited for Mila to go into her room and shut the door. I stayed there a few moments longer and waited to see if she’d try to run right away.

Going to her door, I listened in until I heard the shower turn on. Nodding to myself, I headed to my own room.

I shut the door and it immediately opened again. Payne came in and slouched down in a nearby armchair.

“I caught up with her attacker. It took a while, but I got answers out of him,” he reported with a heavy sigh.

“What did you learn?” I questioned.

“The people after Mila tonight were related to Norwind. They aren’t just sending their own tracking parties after her. It seems like Norwind has reached out to a lot of bounty hunters, the underground kind, to hunt her,” he explained.

“And I guess the unsavory people she met in the woods are those bounty hunters?” I asked.

“Yes,” Payne nodded.

Norwind was one of the most powerful, wealthiest packs. I couldn’t fathom why they were after an omega.

Mila was certainly pretty, there was no doubt about that.

However, I doubted Alpha Chandler would recruit underground bounty hunters and waste so many resources just to come after a pretty face. He was smarter than that.

Besides, with his wealth, he could get whatever woman he wanted, and that meant he had his pick of beautiful women.

Whatever he wanted from Mila was something different than why he claimed to be buying young women. It had nothing to do with loneliness or companionship, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so fixated.

Whatever her value, it wasn’t common knowledge.

Mila had said it herself, Saboreef had left her for dead. They didn’t care what happened to her. So, they obviously had no idea why Norwind was after Mila.

If they had, they wouldn’t have let her poison herself. They would have demanded more money from Norwind and they would have kept a closer eye on her.

Saboreef had no idea what her importance was. If they did, a greedy, money-grubbing pack like that would have held onto her for longer. They would have created a bidding war among other packs to drive up her price.

Instead, they let her poison herself and then left her to die, or in her case escape.

To Saboreef, Mila was a worthless omega.

That was a shame. It meant going to Saboreef and doing more digging would be useless. But it would save time, now that I knew they were oblivious.

So, whatever Norwind wanted from Mila, they also wanted to keep it as a secret.

I wondered if revealing their desire for her would somehow be advantageous. It would make life very dangerous for her but it could create enough chaos that Norwind would be slowed down.

I shook my head.
