Chapter 41 - TO KEEP HER WARM (1/2)

Perhaps, we truly are soulmates.

Perhaps, it is only the wrong lifetime.

”I have been trying to find a way to reach Chaos, but it's nearly impossible.” No one could tell where he was, since he appeared and disappeared as he liked. ”While Knox, it is hard to say where he is.” Knox was infamous for his underhanded business in the black market. He was in charge of executing dirty deals. ”But there will be a wedding party for Gael McKeltar in two weeks,” Mateo reported to Anthony.

Anthony contemplated it for a little while before he finally spoke to the man, ”I want you to arrange a meeting with Gael McKeltar. We will go to Fokosa city to meet him.”

However, Mateo didn't immediately agree with that decision and the Alpha could sense his beta's hesitation.

”What's wrong?” Anthony tilted his head at him.

”I don't feel it's the right decision to go and meet the McKeltar.” He shook his head. ”Do you think Chaos will give away your niece willingly?” He took a step forward and looked at the alpha. ”He has never taken interest in anything. He kept the girl by his side. It only means he wants her. I don't think it's a wise move on your part to ask for her.”

Mateo was trying to phrase his words nicely, but no matter how he tried, it still sounded a little bit off.

”So, you want to suggest to me that I have to abandon my own niece? My brother's only daughter?” Anthony narrowed his eyes at his beta.

”I don't mean that.” Mateo raised both of his hands to calm his alpha. ”But, I don't think she is in any form of harm.”

”You don't know about it,” he said grimly. ”I will take my niece back.”

”And what if Chaos refuses to give her up?” That was the question that they should have anticipated. It was great to be able to have a talk with Chaos without that cursed soul claiming their lives.

But, what if Chaos didn't want to give her back?

”What will you do?” Mateo pressed on. He had to know what kind of madness that this alpha would bring them into.

And even though he knew such a question would arise, Anthony didn't have a definite answer yet.

====================

Late at night, Blue couldn't fall asleep. Her stomach was aching because this afternoon Gael let her eat ice cream too much.

Anna had been furious when she learned that Gael let her eat with no restraint and now Blue had to endure the consequences.

She tossed and turned in her bed, clutching onto her aching stomach and tried to fall asleep, because she thought it was the only way to forget the pain.

But, she couldn't, it was not as easy as that.
