Chapter 53: Bundle
"Healer Mango?We got what your asked for. But they said it must not be exposed to direct sunlight.Not even a single bit. Only then will it hold its accuracy level! We wrapped it in this cloth! Damn! It’s getting heavier by the minute!"
The nurses held something round, wrapped in a thick blanket like cover.
They barely got their words out before Mango grabbed it from them and sprinted past them, her boots slamming against the marble floor, echoing through the silent corridor of the Blackmoon pack house.
Her arms curled protectively around the bundle in her chest...her hands trembling ever so slightly.
Her hair clung to her forehead. Her breath came in sharp bursts.
"Where is he?" she gasped, skidding to a halt near the Beta’s office. There was no point going in because Dax had been missing for awhile. He was sent somewhere,taking care of a classified mission. He didn’t even attend his own Alpha’s wedding!
Nevertheless Mango yanked the door open. Empty, as expected.
She turned, eyes wide, wild. "Where is the Alpha?! Where are you, Kieran?!"
A Gamma on duty blinked at her, startled. "He is probably not in the pack...he left few hours ago. I think...not sure..."
"You think?!" she snapped at him for no fault of his. "You are not sure, huh?!" The Gamma stared at her baffled. He opened his mouth to say something... but she did not wait for the answer.
She was already gone, running again, clutching the bundle like it was the last piece of her soul.
