Venom’s POV
“What do you mean she’s gone?” I bellowed at the driver who had brought Maya back to the pack house.
She was supposed to only get the bag for Elora and she went missing afterwards.
“Call everyone out here.” I ordered him.
Maya had been missing overnight and I had assumed it was a minor issue until I found out she had disappeared.
The guard hurriedly ran off to get every other person that wasn’t present. I looked at him in disdain. I was embarrassed by how lackadaisical they treated work and how unreliable they were.
“We’re here, sir.” He had returned a few minutes later.
“Who saw Maya last night or yesterday?” I asked them.
The air was tense and nobody said a thing, no reply was given.
“Didn’t you guys hear me? Who saw Maya?” I shouted again.
“We didn’t, sir.” They all said one by one.
I left the place and went inside the house to check where Maya had been. The driver had spoken about her entering into the house and afterwards, he didn’t see her anymore.
I went to our room first and it was well arranged and didn’t look like anyone had entered it for days.
I went to Elora’s room and the door was ajar. That was when my intuition kicked in and I felt things didn’t seem to be in place.
Entering into the room, there was a bag on the floor. Probably the bag Elora had described, nothing else could be seen. Not even a trace of hair.
I got out of the place frustrated, no one knew where she was and even my parents had not been at home when I sent her in. Something worried me about Elora’s room she had entered. ” Perhaps, she was kidnapped.” I muttered to myself as I walked back to the room.
I entered and picked up the bag for Elora so I would deliver it to her while I search for Maya.
I grabbed the bag and I felt a weird aura emanate from it. It was weird, it was almost making me nauseous and it felt weird. I remembered Elora was a witch and tried to play it off as one of the things she did on it.
Got the bag out, went to the car and drove away from home. I would definitely have to do something to stop the constant situation of searching for Maya every freaking time.
On my way there, I still found something strange about the bag. “Did something happen to Maya, through this?” I examined it. The situation felt silly but it didn’t feel like it was something worth overlooking.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The camp was in disarray when I got there. A small part, something was going there. I alighted and went towards where everyone had gathered.
“What’s going on here? And it better be something worth the ruckus going on.” I was irritated already by the actions of the guards at home and couldn’t even stand the one that was going on in front of me.
“We can no longer find the witch lady.” They all said in chorus.
“What the hell!” I exclaimed, something was defining not in place and it was too glaring.
“Did something happen or what?” I feared it might have been the sickness or injury she had sustained while fighting.
“No, it wasn’t like that. She even laughed as she miraculously disappeared away from here.” They explained to me.
Well, I finally had two and two to place together. Something had happened and i was more than convinced that it was linked to Maya’s disappearance.
“Everyone, go around. Scout for my mate, Maya and the witch, Elora. Don’t relent until you find something.” Just the way I gave orders for a search party to go out, I did the same thing and went around in search too.
There’s nothing I could have done, I couldn’t have my hands folded while everything was in chaos around.
We kept on searching and searched until it was early in the morning, but we couldn’t trace anything. Nobody could sniff out any scent and it wasn’t like they had left any clothings we could trace them with.
“Call everyone back.” I ordered the commander who had been with me the whole time the search took place.
“Alright, sir.” He said, then he left to go meet the rest who were close by and had been actively searching.
I went back with a sunken reaction and bad mood. Things were going crazy too quickly and it didn’t seem like I could do something about it. I didn’t want to be losing my mate or a close person every weekend or the other.
“We’ll rest for the morning and go in search against. Just incase the enemy kidnapped her or something else relating to them happened. We need to find her at all cost.” I told them.
They asserted all I said in unison and they were dispersed, no one waited and they all went to rest. After the battles and calling them to search for my mate, I had probably pushed the to their limits already or maybe not.
I went by myself too, I had to take a rest from everything I had been doing. Worry was clouding my head, but it wasn’t like I had any power over it. I just had to ensure and try to figure things out, that was what I told myself that morning.
I went to the tent where I had been staying with Maya before she happened to disappear without any trace so I could rest.
Remembering what happened and try to put pieces together wasn’t working out and I couldn’t do anything. It was all as simple as sending her home to pick up something and that was when everything went wrong or something else manifested.
Maybe Alpha Maximum had a hand in it, he was my next choice to interrogate and I was already prepared to choose and wage war on him regarding the risks.
