Chapter 79
Marie’s POV
I began to rack my mind thinking of all the possible places it could be, If my mind serves me right, it was in my backpack the day I was shot in the forest, meaning it could either be in the forest, in the Queen's, or the Second Lady’s possession. Those damned bitches! I need my belongings back.
“If it’s not in my room, then it will be either with the second lady or the queen.”
“But the second lady is dead,”
“You can still check her room, it should be there.” I replied then I took a second look at him and shook my head, “You can’t go in the king’s clothes. You need to change,”
He cooed while smiling at me, “I know, but I left the servant’s uniform back in your room when I changed into this.”
This was beginning to stress me out, we had overstayed our welcome and had delayed accomplishing our task. We needed to hurry up and get the hell out of this place before things got any worse.
“Bliss, you have to hurry up and bring me all my tools before the king leaves his routine update meeting. You also need to be with me here. The king will surely come here to see me today. This is our last and only chance to take him out.”
Bliss nodded, “I understand,”
As he walked away my anxiety grew with every passing second. Jack won’t be the first Alpha I will be taking out but his task is by far the most daunting. Alpha Fred was simple not because he was weak but because I attacked him while he was exhausted and deep in his sleep. I didn’t even make love to him. I saw a chance and took it.
With Jack, I wanted to mix his pure blood so I could increase my chances of getting that white flame and creating a very powerful dragon. This has been the cause of all my struggles. I can’t do it anymore, I will just give up and settle for his pure blood, maybe my dragon will get that white flame, who knows?
Third-person POV
The routine morning update with all staff in the pack house was mandatory, it didn’t take longer than 10 minutes but Jack had ended it early on this particular day because he wanted council of elders to prepare for Marie and Scarlett’s trial in the afternoon but Scarlett showed up in a manic episode, the elders had to excuse them.
When Scarlett started hurling accusations at him, Jack struggled to make out what she was rambling about but she wouldn’t calm down and explain, then she hit the nail on the head by leaving him.
Jack was broken at that point.
“She's acting this way because of Becky, and I have delayed in taking action. I have upset Scarlett.” He kept repeating to himself. From then on he decided to treat the case with more urgency than he had in the past. If he wanted Scarlett back he needed to prove himself.
He headed up the stairs to check on Warren first, maybe today he would be better than the previous day.
As he trotted down the hallway something caught his eye, It was someone dressed in his clothes, what made it obvious was that the dress hung a bit loose because Jack was gigantic in nature but this was a bit smaller and thinner. Jack tried to smell the impostor but he smelled like him probably because he was wearing his clothes.
Meanwhile, Bliss had made sure to check the hallway before trying to break into Scarlett’s room, he was sure that no one was there, so he tried to pick her lock. When that didn’t work, he shifted his mouth into a beak and broke the lock with it, when he stepped inside, Scarlett was nowhere to be found. Which was a good sign. He turned the bedroom upside down searching for the keepsake but it was obvious that it wasn’t there.
So he stepped and closed the door gently and walked briskly downstairs to Warren’s room. He could hear faint sounds there so he knew better than to go there. He thought of changing his clothes and then pretending to be a servant so he could have access to Warren’s room.
So his next destination was the maid’s quarters. He would quickly change and go back to Warren’s room, today they would finish Jack off and finally return home. It’s been so long.
He hurried to Marie’s room ready to change but as he walked in, he heard the door shut behind him. Who could be here?
He turned around and saw Jack standing at the exit with his hands behind him.
“Looking for something?” He asked with a faint smile.
Bliss was a bit startled because the docile Jack he always knew didn’t look so docile today. He looked like he was ready to strike any moment.
“Jack! Wow Jack you’ve changed a great deal. Do you remember me? I’m Marie’s driver.”
He slowly moved to the window and tapped it with his hand, he was only looking for an escape route of push came to shove but it was locked.
“Of course I know your face, I just didn’t know you were here with us, I thought Marie said she was a servant. How come she had a driver?”
Bliss bit his lip as he had not been updated on that part of the story,
“Scarlett wasn’t crazy after all… so it was you!”
“I haven’t done anything, I was just worried about Marie so I just went to see her,” he was buying time to escape, with one hit he broke the window glass, he had to get away from Jack.
