Chapter 29: Helping My Enemy’s Daughter
Kieran:
"Morris," I said while leaning back into the leather chair. "What news do you have?"
"I have two important updates, Alpha." Morris replied and the seriousness of his voice had me straightening again in my chair.
"Let’s hear the first."
He wasted no time and revealed the first important update he had for me. "Alpha River’s men are spreading past the forest area to search for her. A group of his personal guards even visited Lakeshire earlier today."
My jaw clenched. I knew this was going to happen. River would never accept that adaptive ran away from right under his nose. He was too proud to let this matter go.
"Did something happen at Lakeshire?" I asked to confirm even though I knew that Morris would never fail me. And my trust in him was proven right with his response.
"Nothing. I personally confirmed it. No camera footage. No scent trails. The car was cleaned, and as per your orders, even Melinda has promised to play dumb if the guards ever decided to question her. Her assistant too."
Good. While Melinda wasn’t someone to ever play favorites among us brothers, she owed me this little favor. Besides, she wouldn’t need to lie unless the guards asked her about Evaline.
