CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE

"My advice to you once again, if you will like to adhere to you if you don't do, it's your choice to decide, as my father, let me tell you something, let's patiently wait for Elena to be back, we have sent the guards out, and we should be calm that if Elena isn't with her then the guards we bring her, this is not the first time the guards have been looking for her, if you do not think I am not overdoing, just wait calmly till the guards are back, till Elena is back, please"

"I wish to, but I couldn't wait till they are all back. I don't know exactly where she is, what if they look for her all around and don't see her, what do I do? I just wish I could be calm, if you are the one this is happening, you will know that you can't be calm at all, not in this state"

"Alright, do whatever you wish to do, I just wish to apologize to you that I am sorry, now I'll go and tell the maids to prepare you your best food, so just eat and sleep to cool off your mind, or what do you think?"

"Okay," I said, trying to let her leave me alone so that I could focus more on Black. All that is in my mind is that Mr. Black has something to do with what happened, he knows something about what's going on.

"Alright, will you go and stay in your room so that I can go and inform them on what to prepare for you, do you need them to arrange your room, just tell me what you want"

I thought of what to say for some minutes, before I decided to turn back, to deceive her that I was going back to my room.

"I am going back to my room, to shower and rest"

"Alright, no problem"

I went to my room and breathed in deeply, thinking of what to do next.

"Odette, where are you? Where are you hiding? Why do you have to do this to me? Why do you have to keep hurting me? Why do you have to this disappearing is the best thing to do? In what way have I offended you? What have I done to deserve this from you? Is there any way I have cheated you? Is there any way have I not been...Odette, I need you, just tell me what you want, tell me what you need, tell me everything you want, I would do that for you, Odette, I want you and I need you, I have stayed for long without having a wife, do not let people mock me that why didn't I marry anyone from my Kingdom, why didn't I marry anyone from my Pack? I have stayed for a long not having a wife, I do not deserve all this, do not let me blame myself" I said to myself.

I remembered that there was still Black to check on, I checked around to see that Debris wasn't around, I passed the corner to check him in the guards' room, but I didn't see him, I was at the entrance when I saw him.

"Black, Black" I called him in a lower tone.

He didn't hear me again.

"Black, Black" He finally heard me.

"Good Evening," He said while coming towards me.

After he got to my side, I held his hand and I went to a place where people would not see us.

"Black, how are you doing?"

"I am fine and you?"

"I am fine as well"

"I am about to come to your room"

"Okay, do not worry about that then, what is the reason for you not to follow them to look for Odette"

"Yeah, I want to travel today that is why I didn't follow them"

I was on a thought, thinking what Debris said was very different from what he said.

"Did you meet with Debris"

Black thinking he had seen them together, nodded his head positively.

"Yeah, we met"

"What did you two say?"

"She asked why I didn't follow them and I told her that I had to travel today"

"And you didn't see the need to inform me first"

"I was about to come to my room when you saw me, I wanted to come and inform you"

"Do you know anything about my missing wife?"

"Yes" After a second, he said again "No"

"Which do you want me to believe? No, or Yes? Which of the two?"

"I don't know anything about her whereabouts, I was surprised when you announced to us that she was missing, I don't know anything"

"Really? I just wish you could talk, because when I get to know that, and if anyone in this kingdom knows about it, anything that comes with it, they would take it like that"

"I don't know anything about it"

"Talk to me if you have to now when you have the chance, because right now, I'll accept anything you say, but after, I am sorry"

"I need you to trust me, sir, if I knew anything about your missing wife, I would have just told you, I know nothing about it, it's not my wish for us to be looking for her"

"No problem, where are you traveling to"

"Hmm, to my wife's pack"

"When are you going"

"Tomorrow, I should be going tomorrow"

"I thought you said today? Didn't you say so?"

"I said so? When? I just want to go tomorrow"

"No problem"

"Thank you, sir"

"You are welcome" I was about to leave when I changed my mind to talk to him again.

"Black, I am sure you haven't seen the other side of me because I don't like to display it, I hardly display it and I won't want to show you, if you know anything about it, let me know before it's too late please"
