I forced down the panic rising in my chest and made myself calm down. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Samson had been with Hugh, so nothing should have happened.
After about half an hour on the road, the car arrived at the Eclipse Pack Operations Building.
I pushed the door open and stepped out. Just as I reached the entrance, I spotted a familiar figure pacing back and forth in a hurry. It was Samson’s assistant, Cody.
When he saw the car from Ortega Castle, his eyes lit up. He clearly thought Samson had arrived and hurried over. But the moment he realized it was me, the relief vanished from his face, replaced by pure anxiety. “Ms. Lamb? Why is it you? Where’s Mr. Ortega?”
I froze for a second, then asked in surprise, “He left early with Hugh. Haven’t they arrived yet?”
Logically, they had left more than 10 minutes before me. They should have been here already.
Cody’s brow tightened, his voice growing more urgent. “I’ve called Mr. Ortega several times, and his phone is off. The elders’ meeting is about to start, and I haven’t seen him at all. I’m freaking out here.”
My heart clenched instantly, and Alice’s warning surged louder inside me.
I quickly pulled out my phone, found Samson’s number, and called. The cold automated message came through just as expected, telling me the phone was powered off.
Once, twice, three times. I kept calling, but the result was always the same.
“Ms. Lamb, why don’t you wait in the lounge for now? I’ll stay here and wait. Maybe Mr. Ortega will show up any minute,” Cody said, clearly noticing my unease and trying to stay calm.
I nodded, but I had no intention of resting.
There was nothing else I could do for the moment, so I followed Cody into the building and took the elevator up to the top-floor lounge,
As the elevator rose, the sense of dread grew stronger. My heart pounded like it was about to burst out of my chest, and my palms were slick with cold sweat.
Just as the elevator doors slowly opened, my phone rang sharply. The name “Theo” flashed across the screen. I answered, my fingers trembling.
