Chapter 43: Mysterious character
ALPHA MAVERICK’S POV
"What is the situation so far, Shadow? Did you guys go through the footage? Any suspicious activity?" I asked my beta while looking at the management from the corner of my eyes as they looked at us warily.
And why not? It was their responsibility to ensure the safety of the students and this University that I built in my mother’s name. And such an incident happened when I was here, it wasn’t something that could be looked over just like that.
"Sir, the teachers are saying that everything was fine and they ensured that all chemicals were stored based on their instructions. It’s the fault of the last person who entered the storage room," Shadow said, and I shifted my gaze back to him.
The last person?
Are they trying to put the entire blame on Valencia? She was the one I asked to arrange all the chemicals and equipment.
No matter how I see the incident, I don’t really think it was Valencia’s fault.
Though she acts and looks mischievous, I don’t think she is the type who would put so many lives at risk. And doesn’t she keep on saying that she wants to live a happy life and that was the reason she was here in the first place?
If it was her doing, why would she do something she knew she wouldn’t be able to handle?
The way she was sitting in the corner was a clear indication that she had some kind of past trauma related to fire, and if I hadn’t gone back to save her, she would’ve died then and there.
How do I know that? Because we had a six-year-old girl in our pack who goes numb whenever she sees fire just like Valencia turned numb.
