Mia pursed her lips. “I really wanted to help Natalie. If I had taken my car, I am sure we wouldn’t have attracted the stalker.” “Did Natalie tell you who was stalking her?” Faria asked.
“She said that she was sure as to who was stalking her. She hadn’t seen the stalker.” She looked at River with a sad expression. “She said that it was Alpha Hunter who was stalking her.”
“That’s **!” River snapped. “Hunter doesn’t have time to stalk her.”
“I know!” Mia whined. “But that’s what Natalie told me and also said that she was scared that I would not believe her.” Mia shook her head. “I was so angry with her over it that stopped talking to her. She cried and cried and said that I should believe her, and that she didn’t have evidence to prove it, but the day she gets the evidence, she would tell me.” “Evidence?” Faria mused. “Have the investigators checked Howard’s house for clues?”
“I don’t know,” Mia said, feeling defeated. “Howard is very sad about his daughter’s disappearance and he often doesn’t cooperate.”
River let out a rough exhale. “Did she show you any evidence before her disappearance?*
“I wasn’t talking to her. She would come to me and I would move away from that place. One day she cornered me in the gardens that lead to the library behind a willow tree. Over there, she was about to show me some pictures on her phone when someone called her and said that her family had come to meet her.”
“So did she show you the pictures?”
“No, she was surprised as to why her father had come to see her in the middle of the school. She asked me to meet her after school because she knew who the stalker was. But I didn’t wait for her after school. I-” Mia’s lips quivered. “1-| didn’t want to see the pictures because I was afraid.”
“You were afraid that your doubts about Hunter would coalesce in the photos on her phone?” River said.
Mia nodded. “I regret this so much River. I wish I had stopped after school that day and seen those photos.”
“After how many days of this incident, Natalie disappeared?”
“She disappeared after a week, Mia replied, lowering her head and rubbing her arms as if trying to settle her goosebumps.
The thorns of anxiety dug deeper in her chest and River got up. She began to pace the room. There was a long silence between them. “Who all know about the pictures?” she asked.
“No one…” Mia said. “I didn’t speak about it to anyone.”
“I think we should somehow get hold of her phone,” Faria said.
“The investigators tried to get it, but they couldn’t find it. It is said that it disappeared along with her.
Her school bag is also missing,” Mia stated.
Faria narrowed her eyes. “There is something not right here. I don’t know what, but I feel that there is a missing piece of puzzle that we need to find.”
“The whole thing is a giant puzzle!” River gritted.
“Luna River,” Faria said. “We must make a list or production log of what we know and what is left out.”
Then she turned to Mia. “You must somehow get me an access into Howard’s place. I want to check Natalie’s room.”
“What? That is ***!” River shouted.
“I would love to come with you, Faria!” Mia said, ignoring River’s words. She really wanted to clear Hunter’s name. “I am sure we will find something in her room!”
You both have gone mad!” River chided them. “Howard would never allow you to get in his house and you can forget entering Natalie’s room Then we have to find a way in which we can enter his house without telling him. We need to sneak in to find out the truth,” Fana replied. She was feeling terrible about the whole situation. She was extremely loyal to Hunter and ever since he had got married to River, she had become protective of River too. However, the ***she heard that River was pregnant with Alpha’s pups, she had become fiercely protective of her It was as if River was going to give birth to her pups.
River gritted her teeth. “Do you realize the risk of entering Howard’s house without telling him about it?
Your smells are going to be everywhere You will be caught.”
“No one can stop Alpha Hunter from investigating.” Mia interjected Howard has to admit us inside his house.”
“Howard is under no obligation to allow you in his house!” River pointed. “And if you both will go in, the doubt about her seeing Hunter would be confirmed “She stared at both of them hoping they would see the flaw in their plans.
Fania narrowed her eyes. “How will people see us when we have disguised ourselves and entered?”
Fana!” River yelled at her with her hands balled into fists. “You are not going there!”
Fana became absolutely quiet when River’s Alpha aura spilled out. Mia too winced. This was the first time they had experienced it and River was… strong
“Okay, okay.”Faria replied in a weak voice. “We won’t go.”
Mia pursed her lips as she got out of the bed and then walked to her table. She took out a paper and a pencil. “Come here, River. Let’s just chart out what has happened and log it. At least we would know what to do next, even if that means we have to stay quiet”
Now that makes sense!” River replied, thanking the Goddess that she had drilled sense into Mia and Faria.
Mia looked at Faria and said, “Could you please bring us more lemonade, Faria?”
