Chapter 92: Missing Warriors
Evaline:
Sunday mornings at the council headquarters were usually quieter. Most of the council members took the day to rest unless something urgent required attention.
But I arrived there at nine sharp, dressed in my usual clothes, hair pulled back, and with a calm expression. Or at least that’s what I was showing on the outside.
Inside, I was hollow.
I didn’t sleep well as the nightmares were back. Barely ate in the morning and my head was throbbing. Yet, here I was, pretending like I hadn’t been paraded like a fragile pet by the most feared Alpha in our world.
Since last night, my phone had buzzed several times with calls and messages from Kieran, Oscar, and Draven.
But I didn’t attend the calls or opened their messages. I didn’t need to read them to know what they would say.
"We didn’t know."
"River went too far."
"Are you okay?"
A part of me knew that these three weren’t directly to blame for what River had done. They weren’t the ones who humiliated me in that gilded ballroom. But another part of me, the part that still throbbed with shame and betrayal, couldn’t separate them from him. They were brothers. A unit. Always moving together.
