Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 87

*****Erika's POV*****

“How can there not be anything?!” I boomed at the guards I’d sent to go search Melisse’s room.

“It’s true, Alpha. We were unable to find anything in there.” One of the guards spoke, but there seemed to be this fear underneath his words.

“We can take you to the room if you’d like, Alpha.” The second guard told me. This one was trying to avoid looking at me.

“Alright, you can go. Thank you.” Kat told the guards. They bowed and left the room.

“What are we going to do?” This was from an annoyed Paula.

“I don’t know, Paula. I’m as confused as you are.” I plopped down helplessly on my bed.

The guards had gone to search her room and returned with nothing, said there was nothing in it. Did this mean that she burned whatever letters they gave to her? Or she hid it somewhere other than her room? That had been the hope we had.

Or maybe…? I had another plan. “What if we hire a hacker to try to track this unknown number and use it to get their location? I believe getting their location will make the job easy to us. We’ll easily know who’s behind this.”

“These people are smart.” Paula reasoned. “I don’t think they will use this number anymore.”

That was another spirit-dampening possibility, I sighed. “But we can try.”

“Let’s try then.” Paula agreed.

“How was I so blind to this girl’s mission? How did I get here? I would never believe in a million years that Melisse would be responsible for this? All of this?” I paved my room, my head was throbbing hard.

I was yet to sleep, none of us have been able to sleep. I was worried, angry, frustrated. There must be some way to find the truth. There must be some way to know who was behind this. I was finding it hard to seat still and act like it was all fine.

Until the real mastermind behind this was captured, nothing would remain fine. Not for any reason, nothing would.

“I should have also suspected when I saw her standing at that door.” Paula sat on her bed looking as disappointed as ever in herself.

A phone rang, I quickly rushed to it. It was Paula’s. She looked at the caller ID and then at us. “It’s Gage.”

“Pick it then, he might just be checking up on you.” Kat said.

She picked the call. “Hello, babe. Now’s not…” Her eyes widened. “Erika? Wait.” She put the phone on loudspeaker, she already had my attention and that of Kat’s. What was happening again? “What did you say, Gaga?”

“Tell Erika to tell the guards to let us in.” His voice was angry and distraught.

“They’re here? By this time?” I already knew Alex would be with him. But why were they here? This was a very wrong time, I had my own issues to deal with. But it was very late, what could be so important that they both could not wait till morning. Or was he ready to agree to my condition?

“Rika?” Both my friends were looking at me, waiting for me to reply.

I did not have time to attend to anyone at the moment, I just…

“Let them in.” Kat decided.
