Chapter 186: _ Found Her
Luis Miguel blinked, clearly startled by the abrupt shift in question. I saw the nervousness creep back into his eyes, and for a second, I thought I might break through to the real problem.
But he took a breath and continued, still shifting on his feet as if the ground beneath him was too unstable.
"Well, when they left, I went with María José, but now..." His voice trailed off. His eyes were darting around, like he couldn’t make sense of it himself. "This morning, their parents have been asking about them. Looking for them. But I don’t know where they are, Beta."
Three boys missing wasn’t child’s play.
No one went missing in this pack. At least, not without a damn good reason. It was almost like something out of a nightmare... something that didn’t happen here. Not in this pack, at least.
I pulled away from him for a moment, trying to process the information. The tension in my shoulders was so tight I could feel the muscles threatening to snap, and I wanted to punch something. I wasn’t even sure who or what I was angrier at; Things going awry in this pack, or myself for not knowing sooner.
I swallowed the frustration that burned in the back of my throat and refocused. "Missing people?" I repeated, the words sounding foreign in my mouth. "That’s a strange occurrence in this pack."
I was talking more to myself now, trying to grasp the full weight of it.
Missing kids. What the hell was going on?
