The Luna Choosing Game

Chapter 0381

Chapter 0381
After Julian’s report of Jane being missing, I insisted that I go see for myself if the body was gone. Nicholas agreed only if he could carry me, so I ended up in his arms in a bridal carry. Due to the gory state of my ruined dress, we avoided any areas with crowds as we made our way downstairs.
Soon, Julian, Veronica, Nicholas, and I joined Brian and a handful of other guards loyal to Julian who were standing directly under the balcony where we had been. This was where Jane’s body should have landed.
But Julian’s report appeared correct. Even with my new werewolf senses, I couldn’t detect any indications that someone had dropped here. There was no blood splatter. No broken tiles. No kicked up dirt. No… anything. It was like she never hit the ground.
It was impossible.
“I saw her fall,” I said. “She slipped out of my hands and…” I couldn’t say the
rest.
No one pushed me to,
“Could she have survived?” Nicholas asked.
“A fall from that height?” Julian said. “Unlikely,”

“But if she never hit the ground…”
The idea made me uneasy. I didn’t want my sister dead, but for her to have vanished…
The others seemed as troubled as me. Even Veronica appeared somewhat puzzled, Julian faced her.
“Could she have been rescued magically, somehow?” Julian asked.
Veronica gave the words serious thought. She crossed her arms. “Magic like that would come at a high cost. Someone would have to be very powerful and have excessive resources,”
“So it is possible?” I asked.
Veronica looked at me. A touch of concern darkened her eyes. “There are very few people in existence with the magical ability necessary for teleportation. Even within the underground organization, I can think of only one.”
“Who?” Julian asked.

Veronica’s face hardened. “Hawk himself.” o
“The Boss?” Julian groaned. “Great.”
“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” Nicholas said. “We should check the perimeter. Teleportation is one thing, but she could have had a magical item to cus hion her fall.”
Julian glanced around. I didn’t know what he was looking for until he spotted a partially hidden camera overhead. He nodded toward it. “Maybe we’ll get lucky and find some footage.” He nodded to Brian, who moved at once toward the doors.
“I’ll stay here and meditate,” Veronica said. “If it was teleportation, magic that powerful would have left traces. I may be able to feel them if I concentrate.”
“Good,” Julian said. He motioned to two of his guard. “Keep them with you.” Then Julian looked at Nicholas and me. “You should get her cleaned up. She looks like hell.”
