“A letter?” I took it from his hands and then watched him walk away. I felt odd. It was almost as if she disappeared from the face of the earth, but I knew the answer was in that letter.
I closed my eyes to calm my agitated nerves before unfolding the piece of paper that was handed over to me. As soon as I opened it, I brought it close to my nose and smelled Beatrice’s scent on it.
“Akin! I am glad that things are going so well between us. I met you years ago and never thought I would get a chance to be with you. I was happy when we ended up marking each other. However, the happiness remained for only a short time. I didn’t want to say it, but things began to change. Especially after Helel k*issed me that night, I wish I could lie to myself and say I didn’t feel the same, but I felt the heat in my body—,” I paused as I closed my eyes and then opened them, taking steady breaths.
“Your proposal came to me as a surprise, but I was happy. I was so happy that I was finally getting married, but then I began to wonder, What about Helel and my other mates? There was a reason I was given all those mates. I cannot abandon them just to be with you, especially when my heart is craving to be with them. I want to give time to my other mates. I knew it might hurt you, but this is the truth. I cannot go into marriage with you with so much baggage on my shoulders. I want to take some time alone and think about everything., I am sorry for hurting you, but I really need this time. Please don’t search for me or try to force me to come back. I just want to be alone for now,” I read the letter and instantly held my breath.
Title of the document
Before I could make any calls, Reign called me.
“Akin, where are you?” she asked in a much more excited tone.
“I am—is Gwen alright?” I questioned. “She is fine. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She is so pretty,” I could tell from her voice that she was happy. I wanted to be satisfied, but a corner of my heart was crying.
“Congratulations. I will come home soon,” I said in a dry tone.
“Hey, what’s up? Did you and Beatrice have a fight? We haven’t seen the two of you around the entire day,” now that she was slowly getting out of the trance of a happy state, she was beginning to look around and notice she was missing.
“Beatrice is missing,” I told Reign, not wanting to hide it anymore. I need to find her, no matter what the note or anyone else says.
“What?” She let out a gasp.
“I looked everywhere, but she is gone. I am devastated Reign. I need your help. I need you to find her, scent her, and locate her for me,” I insisted as I ran my hand through my hair in agitation.
“Oh God! Do one thing–come home. I will do something to find her,” she suggested, but the idea of going back to that mansion where there is no Beatrice was hard for me to swallow. But instead of being stubborn and running at the crucial time of finding her, I decided to agree and sprint my way back home.
Once I was home, I found every guard gathered around the mansion, making sure nobody tried to get in. Once I had made it into the living room, I saw Helel rushing towards the exit and only stopping when he saw me.
