Chapter 53: He Did It
Hailee’s POV
"I just got a text from my boyfriend," she said slowly, her voice shaking. "He’s on border patrol duty today. He said... they found a clue about who did it."
My stomach dropped. "What kind of clue?"
"I don’t know yet," she whispered, eyes still glued to her screen. "He said they’re not releasing details, but the warriors and the Gamma Council are already on it. He asked me to stay inside and avoid talking to anyone."
A cold chill crept down my spine.
Lila walked closer to me and sat beside me, then she placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "You don’t have to be scared, Hailee. I believe Peter will handle it." She assured me, but it wasn’t helping.
"What if it’s too late already?" I whispered in fear.
Then Lila shrugged. "You will tell them who you are—I bet they will not dare to even lay a finger on you."
I scoffed and frowned at Lila. "I don’t want the people of this pack to know who I am... I just want to remain that wolfless omega girl," I murmured.
Lila sighed. "Well, if Peter is late and it comes to life and death, then I will tell everyone who you are... I won’t keep silent," she argued.
I didn’t have the energy to argue with her, so I just let it be. But the truth remains, I don’t want to reveal my identity.
"I believe you didn’t tell your mom," she asked.
