Tasting All My Mates

458-No Pain, No Gain

“That’s worrisome,” I mumbled, stroking my chin and sitting on the bench for the last few minutes. After Kellice told me the mother witch had gone missing, I couldn’t help but connect the dots between the disappearances.

“You seem too distraught over her disappearance. Is there anything we should know about?” Kellice asked, standing in front of me.

“My brother is missing too,” I whispered. “The two of them were the only ones trying to help me during the time when I was in misery,” I said, and I raised my head to watch Kellice look a little more worried this time.

“So somebody is only kidnapping those who love and care for you?” Kellice nodded as she realized it was all about me.

“I better hire guards,” said Theo, who had no clue when to joke. He rubbed his arms over his biceps and pretended to be afraid.

“Don’t worry. No fool would want to kidnap a nuisance like you,” Kellice said as she stepped back.

“How about we make a list of people who can gain from hurting Enya?” Kellice said, grabbing a little notepad from her purse and clicking her pen to work.

“Alpha King Corbin,” I shrugged as his name appeared first in my mind, “but what is he going to gain by hurting me? It is not like I am on his way to anything,” I frowned, as it didn’t make any sense.

“Oh! And Valerie maybe, but—,” I paused when I gave it a thought, “not anymore. I left Lazlo for her, so why would she want to hurt me?” My shoulders slouched once again as another name left the list of people who could gain something by hurting me.
