Arya’s POV
My life has just crumbled before my eyes. What have I done? How did I let this happen? Was this Anastasia’s plan? Why was I in the bathroom and my son was being whisked away?
Tears kept pouring from my eyes no matter how hard I tried. My little boy I wonder how he would be fairing. The weather was cold. He must need his blanket. My mind was filled with a lot. Wait a minute was Jake sent into the bathroom to keep me there while my son was taken away?
I raised my head from his embrace and just then I locked gaze with Chase. He was staring intently at me. His eyes unreadable, his face deadpanned. Why was that? It was when I looked up, I flinched out of Jake’s arms like I had been shocked by electricity.
What was I doing in Jake’s arms?
“Come Arya” Kelsi said and I leaned into her embrace.
There was some sort of tension between the men as they glared at each other Jake had a smirk on while Chase looked like he was going to snap his head any minute.
“Has it been long?” Kelsi whispered to Angus.
“It’s been hours since Chamberlin”- Chase turned his gaze on me. – went missing ” he made sure to emphasize the word missing. I hiccupped and hugged Kelsi tighter, as I stared at my feet.
I began to replay what had happened in my head. What if I had taken Chamberlin with me a story cutting the cake? Maybe he wouldn’t Kelsi been missing. What if I didn’t care about having fun with Kelsi at the VIP section?
There I was with Jake reliving my past and my son was getting kidnapped. A tear slipped past my eyes and I quickly wiped it off now was not the time to cry.
“it’s not her fault “Jake said.
“I never said it was “chase replied his voice dripping with thick sarcasm. I felt horrible. Like shit.
“Your highness” Hercules came running towards us. ” We found a suspect”
“let’s go” Chase marched our if the little crowd, walking past me without saying a word to me. Guilt ate at me like a termite eating wood but would increase by the time I hear the full story.
“come sit here” Kelsi said as we walked into the main hall of the event. The fasting I noticed was how come and probably scared people looked. I turned to Kelsey and asked her with my eyes. She shrugged as she took me to sit.
“do you want some water? “Kelsi asked. I shook my head as I tried to smile but it only came off as a grimace.
” tell me what happened?” I asked Kelsi after we had sat for a while.
“I checked my phone and saw 40 missed calls. Angus had been trying to reach me” she said. And so she went at head to tell me how my son had gone missing since midnight but they were not able to contact me or you. Oh my poor Chamberlin. Memories we had spent together floated in my head.
I began to regret ever coming back to the werewolf side. If you have stayed back at the human side at least I can manage and call a therapist for him while he was bullied. While in the human side he was never kidnapped or went missing. Why was this happening now? Of course his father was Chase King. The werewolf beast. He will definitely have more enemies than he could count but why take my son? The poor boy was innocent.
I recall movies I had seen of child been kidnapped and my heart shattered then more. What if I never get to see him? I raised a hand to my mouth and swallowed my sob. Where do I start from? What do I do? Chamberlin represented a part of my life. He was literally my only family.
I bent my head and wept like never before.
“Arya please stop crying” Kelsi tried to get to sit up. ” come on he will be found”
I sniffed as I wiped a tear off my face. ” What sort of mother am I ?”
“You are the best mother anyone could ever ask for “Kelsi said I she wiped tears off my face. She too hard tears in her eyes. I shook my head at her.
“I don’t believe you” I said sniffing again. Where is Anastasia and Jake by the way? I brushed that thought aside. I am to blame for not taking care of my son.
“You know I think they should have taken me instead”
Kelsi frowned. ” Stop talking nonsense.
Suddenly there was some noise coming from the center. I stretched my neck but I couldn’t see anything.
“come on let’s go check” Kelsi held my hands and together we went to the center.
“Aargh!!!” a young girl had her arms being twisted by Mika. She had blood dripping down her face it was gory to watch.
“Please help me miss Arya!” she cried out. She tried to crawl to me but Mika dragged her back and slammed her shoes on her butt. She screamed and people gasped.
Anger simmered in my chest and burst through my mouth
“Stop it !” I yelled. Mika glared at me. ” what did she do?”
“you shouldn’t be speaking or” she smirked. ” Do you want to receive your son’s body?”
“Mika!” Kelsi warned.
“What?” she snapped. ” are you are her mouth piece?” She eyed us. There was this look of contempt in her eyes. Like we were filth. “And if I don’t what the hell, are you going to do? ” she scoffed.
“has she said anything?” we turned to find Angus behind us. He gave Kelsi a small smile. ” she was the one who took Chamberlin away?”
When I turned around to look at her, my eyeballs almost bulged out of its place. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was none other than Nia.
