Mia fell silent River hadn’t seen her since morning? That was very unusual. Faria always went to attend River the first thing in the morning Mia’s hand went inside her pocket where she had stashed the crushed threat. Her palms were sweaty and she didn’t feel like attending the rest of the classes
“Mia?” Trish’s voice came from behind Mia turned sharply and saw that she was with Miami. “What are you doing here?”
Cold winds blew her hair all around. 1-“Mia said, tucking her hair behind her ear 1 am just standing here.” She didn’t want to say anything to them about the note she received this morning because she suspected that one of them must have a connection with the man who threatened her with the note
“You will catch a cold!” Miami chided her. She took her hand and tugged her. “Come on! Let’s go to the cafeteria and eat something.”
1 don’t want to eat anything “Mia drawled 1 don’t feel like ”
Trish came to her and wrapped her arm around her shoulders. “Mia, I understand that you are very upset about the whole thing, but let Gamma Asher do his work. I am sure he will uncover something.” She squeezed her shoulder lightly “Come, let’s eat something. We got worned when we didn’t see you.”
Mia let out a rough exhale. Her friends were very sweet and considerate, yet she didn’t know if she could trust them.
When they entered the cafeteria, people stopped conversing. They glanced at her every now and then and would speak in low volumes Mia ***it “***them!” Trish said, understanding Mia’s awkwardness. “You come and have your lunch with us. Just go and sit over there.” She pointed in the corner where there was a long table with six chairs. “We will get your tray.”
As Mia sat down at the table at the corner of the room. She contemplated what she was going to do now. She couldn’t tell anyone about the threat. Nick and Jack came over. “Hey Mia!” the boys said in unison. “Hope you are prepared for the quiz for the next class,” Nick said as he sat at the table opposite to her with his tray of food.
“Not really she replied
The girls came over Trish gave Mia the tray and said, “Goddess, I ***the baked beans with sausage!”
Miami laughed “1 ***it too. Almost everyone in my family dislikes it!” She dug her fork in the beans. “You would be surprised that our family friends also dislike it. Yesterday when I went home, ***was
having dinner with two of her friends, Mrs. Jenna and Mrs. Denver, and even they disliked it!” She burst out laughing.
Mrs. Jenna?” Mia said in a low voice
“Yes,” Miami said “Why?”
Mia gave her a look filled with anger. Mrs Jenna is Rosalie’s mother!”
Miami became quiet and so did everyone else at the table. She licked her lips and shrugged. “So what, Mia? My mother has many friends and Mrs. Jenna is one of them. It’s not like we are discussing you or the Alpha”
****Miami jerked her head back. “Mia, you are sounding ****. It is not the end of the world for Mrs
Jenna. Your family is never discussed-
“Oh, ****up! Don’t give me that ***!” Mia snapped “You are just as bad as they all are saying that she collected her satchel and strode out of the cafeteria leaving her food untouched. Her friends watched her leave with shock apparent on their faces. They didn’t have the guts to say anything against her.
Mia went to the castle and instead of going to her room, she went to meet River River had just finished with her classes. “Mia?” she said, getting up from the chair “You have come so early from school. Are you wel?”
Mia’s face was flushed and she looked like a train had run over her “Where is Faria? I am getting worried about her, River”
River stared at her blankly at first and then panic flashed on her face too 7 don’t know. She hasn’t come to meet me since morning.”
Mia grabbed her hand and said. “We have to find where Faria is. I am not feeling good about this.”
“What do you mean?” River rasped, her shoulders going taut with tension. Hunter was expected to come back by the next morning.
“River, can you listen to me for once in your life!” Mia shouted 1 want to know where Faria is!” She was now shaking with panic and anger. “We need to find her!”
“Okay “River said, unsure of why Mia was behaving so strangely. “Let’s go to her room first.”
They rushed to Faria’s room which was locked. When they asked other servants about her, they informed that Faria hadn’t come back to her room after 6PM. And that was the time when she was with River and Mia
“That means that after giving dinner to me, instead of returning to her room, Faria went somewhere else without telling anyone,” Mia said, her eyes prickling with tears
“Why are you crying?” River said as she held Mia’s hand. “She must have gone to clean up the south wing of the castle. She has been telling me about it for days”
“Then find out about her now!” Mia urged. 7 have this bad feeling that Faria went to investigate on her own at Howard’s house.” She put her hand in her skirt’s pocket and touched the crumpled paper. She couldn’t tell River about it because River was pregnant and already dealing with so much in her life
“Mia, you are scaring the ******out of me!” River said as she hurried to her room. When she reached the main hall, she asked every servant to leave their duty and find Fania.
For the next two hours, they searched for Faria in and around the castle, but she wasn’t found. Both River and Mia were too disturbed at the end of it. Let’s call Elijah and Asher,” River suggested.
Mia snapped “What good are they going to be?”
“But Faria is missing! We have to report it to them. They will help us find her.”
“No,” Mia said with pleading eyes. “Wait till the night. If Faria isn’t found or doesn’t come, we will tell Asher and Elijah!”
“Why?” River whined.
“Because-“Mia turned her head away. The threat she received on the paper in the morning was on her lips. Should she tell her? She decided against it. “Just trust me on this River. Please.” Mia pulled her hand away from her and ran back to her room.
It was 10:30 PM when Mia got out of the castle, wearing a black hoodie and black track pants. She went to Howard’s house.
