Chapter 47
"Nisha you need to relax, we will find Elijah" I stop her from pacing. She had just recovered from a fatal accident, she'll need to rest or exhaust herself. With a sigh, she slumps to the bed.
"Hailey you don't get how I feel, it's so void, like I can't get to him I feel like he's still alive and... And at the same time dead Hailey where is Jaden he may know where Elijah is "
I blink back tears that sting in my eyes realizing we all had lost here.
I sit on the bed beside her rubbing her back trying to comfort her when I require that also.
"Jaden... Jaden is hospitalized, he took a bad beating" I explain.
"Jaden?" Nisha says her red eyes widen.
"His Alpha's ability gives him an advantage stronger than his prey, how... who?"
I look towards Ride who is leaning on the wall gazing down at us.
"Aitch" Ride's eyes flicker, and I see something rim in his eyes.
"So Jaden killed Aitch?" Ride says, taking his lip piercing in between his teeth.
"No someone else did something else did"
"Like you said Ride these beasts are two times their normal size like mind control robot Aitch had been affected with this too"
"The effect isn't permanent, he revealed something about a serum, before someone walked in and killed him, something out there is happening, something big and it's not just our battle the life of the entire lycanthrope world is in danger" I toss the paper to the floor.
"This is their first statement a warning before Aitch died he said something like is going to be unleashed they ain't done" "What do they need Elijah for what part do I play in this stupid ploy"
"We'll find him Nisha you don't have to worry"To avoid an incomplete reading experience, visit Jobn'i'b.com. "No Hailey don't you dare tell me not to worry If these people are as bad as you make them seem Elijah might be in serious trouble" she says crying in her hands.
We need to tell Jaden to warn as many packs as possible if only a few can work out the badlands. What if there are hundreds, thousands under the control of one person and we have no idea what the serum is?" I say, breaking the silence. They both stay mute everyone having an internal debate.
"Well, how do we get to this Jaden?" Ride asks.
"I don't know he's in the hospital"
"Ward 3 top floor only for royals heavily guarded you won't be granted access"
"At least we can try"
Ride follows behind me after I made Nisha promise to rest and try to not worry much about Elijah.
I had no idea how to feel about his disappearance, only hope for the best.
Two guards block the entrance of the room, certain it's Jaden's room.
"You are not allowed here"
"I'll stay only for five minutes please." I plead, "I am the one who found him I am his mate"
They both stare at one another, silent communication.
"You can go in for sixty seconds," they say simply.
"Thank you so much" I say walking into his room.
He was wearing a hospital mask. His color had returned and he was healing fast.
I walk up to him, taking his hand in mine.
"You're going to be just fine I promise to listen to you if only I did you wouldn't have been in this mess we're in trouble Jaden and I mean we cause bad people to want us dead " I say wiping my tears. "But we'll make it, I promise we will then we'll go on a great dinner with an amazing dress and-
"Your time is up" The guard states.
I kiss his hand which I feel tighten a little bit on mine.
That small gesture gives me hope.
"Thank you" I say leaving.
"Looks like you are staying in with me" I say to Ride.
His eyes flash as he takes his lip ring between his teeth, a look I know too well.
"Don't even think about it lest you want to join Tyler" I say sadly.
I can't believe they were dead.
Heading to Jaden's room we see a future standing outside the room.
"Hailey I'm glad you're here I want to speak to you" I'm taken aback did I just hear well, what's more, surprising is the to she used, I thought I'll never see the day Riley turns nice. "Ehmm... Sure Riley what is the problem?"
"Not here let's go inside"
This might be another one of her tricks. I've seen a chameleon change colors, not a snake.
I still let her in any way, maybe it's the events of today that got me on the edge, maybe it's the way her eyeballs keep roaming or the way she fumbled with her dress nervously. "Hailey someone wants you dead" age says sealing the door shut.
I almost laugh at the irony, a while ago Riley wanted me dead and here she is stating someone wants me dead.
"Who?" I question simply.
"I was asked to fake my pregnancy Hailey it's all a ploy to get you dead but Nisha saved you"
"So Riley, why are you telling me this?" I can't even pretend to be shocked.
Lord Perry wanted me dead; he had threatened my life and my friends.
He is the first on my list that is a member of the crown or maybe he is the crown.
"Because someone wants me dead too" she shakes, opening her hand and revealing a piece of paper, the same one with the number '5'.
