Chapter 363:
“His Highness asked me to check on you,” he clarified.
“I’m fine,” I told him.
He glanced at Maddy and left.
JARIS
Things were getting rougher on this side. I’d been getting endless letters from the Elders and Alphas, demanding answers regarding Lyric being pardoned when she was a Siphon. It was truly becoming frustrating, and I didn’t know how to proceed any further without wanting to get someone punished.
Why didn’t they worry about it? Why couldn’t they just trust my decision and believe that she was someone who was never going to hurt anyone? She was my mate, pregnant with my child, and I was fucking in love with her! Wasn’t that enough reason for anyone to just let me be p>
Kael walked in just when I was about to shred the last letter to pieces. He gave me a disapproving stare, like he knew what I was about to do.
“You’ll need to find a permanent solution to that, you know?” He said it like it wasn’t obvious. “Things are not looking funny anymore p>
“What do you want?” I rasped.
Damn it, Jaris. Now I was starting to pour out my frustration on everyone.
“You… sent for me?” He scoffed.
Oh, right. I forgot. “I need you to do something. I need you to check on Velvet Sky Lodge.” It was one of my hotels. “I need a picture of all the staff that had been on duty that morning p>
He’d gotten them before when I questioned them on the lady’s disappearance from the hotel. They all claimed not to know why she left, and I believed them. Now, it looked like one of them had been lying.
Lyric and I had more time to talk last night, and she explained that one of the staff had deceived her into leaving, making her think I ordered it. I never gave such an order, but apparently it was the reason we had been separated for six years. She had to live for six years thinking I used and abandoned her. If I could get my hands on that very staff member, there was no telling what I’d do.
“Is there a reason you want it now?” Kael asked.
Stay tuned for more
“Yes. Can’t talk about it now.” I grabbed the next letter, which I was already sure would piss me off. The Alphas and Elders sure knew what they were doing. If the letters got to a certain amount, I’d really have to answer to them. And by the look of things, it was very close to that amount.
“Got you. Do you need help with anything else?” my Beta asked.
I stared intently at the papers on my desk as an idea settled in my mind. The situation was trying to get out of hand. I’d really need to do something about it. “Yes.” I looked up at Kael. “There is something you could help me with p>
I’d just finished a brief meeting with some of the locals of a Pack where a major issue had to be addressed and was heading to my office when I saw Nerion. My heart
My heart beamed with delight at the realization that Lyric was back. “How did it go?” I asked as soon as I met up with him.
