Wrong Number, Right Alpha novread novel Chapter 20

Christian’s POV

“The rope snapped.” Those three words came out of nowhere–but they hit like a bomb. Everyone froze.

I finally spoke, my voice tight. “What rope?”

“The one at the cliff. It snapped–and Blair’s gone!”

Shock slammed into us all at once, leaving our faces blank and disbelieving.

Lysander lunged forward and grabbed Finn by the collar, voice trembling. “What the hell did you just say?!”

His eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his arms. He looked like he couldn’t bear to hear the

answer.

Finn’s lips quivered. “It’s true. When we got there, the rope by the cliff had already broken. All we

found… was her jacket.”

I rushed over and snatched the jacket from him. My knees nearly gave out.

It was Blair’s jacket.

The air turned to stone.

“Lysander… you didn’t have anyone untie her?” Orion asked, eyes wide.

Lysander’s face went pale. “I just got back from the hospital yesterday. I…”

He didn’t finish–but we all knew what he meant.

Ever since he got back, we’d all been focused on Carrie, worried about her condition and hovering

over her every move.

Blair had always been invisible in the pack. No one even remembered she existed.

“Christian, are you okay?” Carrie’s voice came from behind me.

I didn’t answer or even look at her as I walked straight out the door, telling Finn to get the car ready

for the cliff.

Carrie clearly hadn’t expected that and stumbled, falling to the floor.

But none of the others–Lysander, Orion, or Zayden–rushed to help her. They were all still stunned, completely shaken by the news of Blair’s disappearance.

One of the maids helped Carrie up. She looked like she was about to say something, face full of hurt, but the three men barely spared her a glance before running out the door.

Night fell. The ocean wind howled violently along the cliffside.

I stood right at the edge, staring down at the torn rope and bloodstained rocks.

I tried to get closer–but Finn stopped me.

“Alpha, it’s too dangerous. The wind’s strong tonight.”

I ignored him and kept walking, stepping right up to the edge.

The darkness below was endless. All I could hear was the crashing of waves slamming against the

cliffs.

Finally, the exhausted team reported back. “Alpha Lysander, Alpha Christian–we’ve searched the cliffside and the base. There’s no sign of Blair.”

Last night’s winds and tides had washed away everything.

I clutched Blair’s jacket tightly, my eyes vacant.

The only sounds left were the wind and waves.

“Keep searching! I don’t care what it costs–find her!”

The team finally moved–but too slowly. Impatient, I tied the rope around myself and prepared to

scale down the cliff alone.

“Alpha Christian, please–it’s too dangerous. You can’t—”

“I’m going.” No matter what he said, nothing could stop me.

They lowered me toward the cliff’s edge.

The wind whipped my clothes. The rope slammed against the rocks, scraping my skin raw–but I

didn’t care.

All I could see was Blair’s face from that day… The was she looked at me.

And I couldn’t stop wondering-

If I hadn’t carried Carrie away that day… Would everything have turned out differently?
