Chapter 127: The hatred you harbour against Noah...
Selene POV
"The girls..." Xavier managed to squeak in his weak form "We have to get them,".
Kurtis nodded and turned to me "Do you have any idea where or who they might be with?" he must have noticed how dazed I was by the whole thing because, in the next instant, he pulled me to him and palmed my face in his had "Listen, Selene, I know this is overwhelming and stuff but this is no time no space out. We cannot afford that right now. I want you to think... Do you know where they might be or who they might be with?"
"Th...Their Nannies," I stuttered snapping out of it "They might be with their nannies. They’re the only ones authorized to stay with the girls and they’re the ones who can..." The words barely left my lips when Faustina and Brenna walked up to us laughing at something they said. They both had laundry baskets balanced on their hips and stopped short when they saw us.
I pushed past the men and ran to them, turning them backwards "Where are the girls?" I asked staring at them. My heart was already racing at this point.
"They..." Brenna’s eyes hovered over each of us as she trailed off pointing to the open room "They should be in their rooms. That was where we left them yesterday. We just clocked in a few minutes ago but went to pick up their things from the laundry room," she said raising the laundry basket to me.
"They’re not in their rooms!" I swallowed hard as I felt my heart dropped to my stomach. I staggered back into the room and started searching the bathroom, their closets, under the bed. As I searched, I could feel everyone looking at me but I didn’t care. "Maybe they’re hiding," I said with a smile trying to fight hysterics. "Vina? Maeve? Girls? Where are you?" I called out my voice rising in pitch.
"Selene!" Kurtis tried to intervene but I brushed past him out of the room into the hallway again looking wildly in both directions hoping that the girls would suddenly appear before me.
"Hey," I grabbed a passing maid, startling her "Have you seen Maeve and Vina?" the woman flinched staring at me with a hooded expression "The princesses of Moon Whisper," I added "Have you seen them anywhere? Maybe outside the pack house or in the kitchen or the playground?"
