Chapter 83 Vanishing Omega
Chapter 83
Rosa's POV.
Alpha Vexhood narrowed his gaze to the other maid. Slow shape and heavy.
The air in the room tightened, as if the room itself held its breath.
His kneels scraped the floor as he stared again.
“With fear, he nodded his head, “I am sorry the holy one.”
Deep silence lingered for a couple of minutes as if we were standing before a grave that had not yet been sealed.
Then Alpha Vexhood pouted and nodded his head repeatedly. No one knows what is coming next. No one knows his next decision if we all are going to kiss the mother's heart goodbye.
“Rosa!” His voice cut through the air like a whip.
I straightened instantly, turning my attention to him.
“You will find that omega and bring her to the sanctuary tomorrow.”
“I will, the wise one.” I quickly replied.
Then Alpha Vexhood disappeared.
I watched how the greenish smoke coiled up, before thinning into nothing.
The moment he was gone, the room exploded into movement.
Chair scrappled.
Fear shuffled.
Everyone scrambled for the door including the two maids who had knelt on the floor in front of Alpha Vexhood. In a blink of an eye, the room suddenly became empty.
Hours later, the news had spread like wildfire. Caramel too had not waited too, she fled with the rest. She had almost left her hand bag behind and left the palace hurriedly . If not I would have avenged the evil she committed against me.
I would have gotten inside the room and gotten something to eradicate the bastard. She irritates me. Up till now, I still do not know the lies she told Alpha Vexhood against me when I went to look for lyra.
My hand clasped beside me, deep in thought. I had walked to and from the room for some time and my legs were aching badly.
I collapsed into one of the chairs. My thoughts drifted wide. To Lyra.
Where had she been? Or has she been kidnapped? Or taken by the gods for defending the pack members against the strike of the gods, a few days back?
But pack members said they have not seen her today?
The different thoughts of her disappearance overwhelmed me.
Bang!
A sudden knock at the door disrupted my thought.
Come in.
The door crept open. I didn't bother to look at the doorway.
One of the servants, Jax, was not coming back today. Even if there was a change in schedule, and he is back in the palace, he hardly comes to my quarters, he would rather send someone to call me.
I was facing the doorway to my room and I was still deep in thought.
I am sorry, my Luna.”
The word sounded strange but very familiar to my ears, so I turned.
Lyra!”
My heart skipped. My body tilted back, my head hitting the wall behind me. Like a ghost had entered the room.
She stood there, stoic. No emotion. Nothing.
“I am sorry for disturbing your quiet time,”
“My quiet time? Lyra ? Where have you been? Where the whole world left what they were doing and started searching everywhere for you like a needle in a haystack.”
Me? How? I don't understand your honor.”
“Don't patronize me ? I am not kidding here, lyra. I personally walked down to the maid quarters to check on you in your room.”
“You left this place and came to check me up in my room? Why?”
My fingers ran through my hair, the frustration in me burned my scalp. “I am not joking here lyra, everyone has been looking for you, I asked them to check everywhere, in the palace and even outside but you were nowhere to be found.”
“Oh ,” lyra said softly, "I hope I have not violated any rule, " I hope I have not violated any rule or disobeyed the gods.”
I stood on my feet, “This is more than disobeying the gods, this is death, and disaster looming,”
How? Your honor?” she asked calmly.
“Don't ask me how? Don't just fucking ask me that… I warned you that you should leave the pack, few days ago and come back when everything settles. Now you have angered the gods.
“How?” she asked again. I
Like I was speaking to a tree or a wall, we were just not on the same page.
“What the fuck do you mean by ‘how’? Am I a clown to you? Alpha Vexhood is here, and is here to…”
“Oh!! Alpha Vexhood, great Alpha Vexhood, I have been hearing his wonderful works within the walls of this pack…” exclaimed holding her hands to her chest, "awwnnn… when are we going to meet him…”
“You are sick lyra, you are fucking sick… do I look like a clown here.”
“He was here because of you…”
“Me?”
“Waow, I would love to see him too.” lyra replied with a faint blush touching her cheeks.
“ Enough lyra! That is enough ! don't further drive me crazy here. I hope he is hearing you… for him to come and pick you up. I don't want to get involved in all this.”
“You are sounding like he is a dangerous,”
I let out a strange laughter, he is not, I am just joking, it would be a great experience when both of you meet.
“Waow,” lyra blushes, “are we going to his place today?”
“Enough! Lyra. If you want to go I will let you know." I roared, "...and if I may ask, what do you want here?”
Lyra gestured lightly.
“I am just here to pick my book.”
“Your book?,” I asked with curiosity, “Where?”
“There.”
She pointed to the stool close at the far corner of the room and walked across it to pick the book up.
I turned sharply, my breath seized.
“I have been here for more than an hour, I didn't see any book on that stool … “ I said slowly, squeezing my brow and demanding an answer?
