Punishment for bringing him pain
The only thing he could think of was to go home. He did not want to stress her more, so he just locked the door and went home.
The employees in the house all knelt down, shaking in fear. They knew they were in trouble. None of them said anything to each other; they became different people in their own world.
Alex walked to the maid’s quarters, where the maids were being kept. He asked as soon as he entered the room. Who is it?!
He had been thinking of how he would make their lives miserable ever since he left the hospital.
“I’m asking you all a question?!” He screamed at them, but none of the maids could talk. They kept crying and shivering in fear. They knew saying even a sorry could cause them their lives, and not saying a word could also cause them their lives as well.
“Let’s see what happens when I burn you all alive.” He said. He stood up and went to the keg beside Shawn, which was filled with fuel. He poured it on them and took a lighter. The maids screamed and begged.
They were still crying and shivering in fear until Mary, one of the maids, quickly talked. “We don’t know anything about this, Alpha.”
Bu… But one of us is missing. The girl did not know whether it was Belinda who poisoned Ellie, but she suspected her because she left the house as soon as Ellie finished eating. They even asked her where she was going, but she insisted that her mother was sick and she had to go that night.
They couldn’t do anything other than allow her to go, but now that something bad had happened, Mary knew she had to speak out because she did not want to get burned in a fire, all because of another person.
“Is a maid missing?!” He asked, looking at Shawn, who was behind him with his head bowed. “How did a maid get missing? And who is this missing maid?”
“She must have left the house last night, Alpha,” Shawn said. He also did not know that a maid was missing.
“A maid left the house last night without anyone knowing?” He asked, looking at them in anger. Get me the CCTV footage now! He commanded.
He watched how the girl added poison to her food when no one was there. He also watched when she escaped the house without getting noticed. He couldn’t even watch how Ellie had crawled from her room to the living room.
He was so angry that a weak and mere wolf could betray him and hurt his mate. “I’ll make sure they all pay for this.”
He took his phone and dialed Callum’s number. “I will be in your office in the next ten minutes. I need you to find someone for me.” He said this to the man and hung up without waiting for his reply.
“Make sure no one leaves or enters the house.” He said this to Shawn before leaving the room.

Ms. Loren lost her baby?! Callum asked to be sure he heard him right. He was not surprised when Alex called him to say that he would be coming to his office, but he wasn’t expecting bad news. How did it happen?
“A witch. She was given poison that could only be found with a witch.” Alex said with no emotion on his face. “A maid in the house poisoned her.”
“Am I missing something here? It was a witch that sent Gregory to almost kill her. And now a witch gave her poison through a maid and killed her child?” Callum asked.
“It was the same witch who gave her the poison that almost killed her. The poison she took was something that could kill any werewolf, but I don’t know how; she survived it, and I’m really happy she did.” Alex said. He did not know how Ellie could survive the poison, but he was not bothered about that; instead, he was happy.
And I’ll make sure that witch, whoever it is, never dares to even think of touching my things again. Alex said it seriousness. “I need you to find me that maid before today runs out.
“Ok.” Alex replied. He was really worried about how he was coping with everything. He has never seen the nice side of him. Ever since his mate and unborn child came into his life, he has changed. But now that he had lost his unborn child, he noticed the sadness in his eyes.
“What did you find out about Elena?” Alex asked. He still suspects Elena because of his mother’s hatred for Ellie.
“Nothing. She has been doing whatever she knows how to do. Telling your mother the vision she has been seeing about you, but nothing suspicious about her.” Callum explained. He paused for some time before he said, “It is only that maid that can bring light to all things.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“That’s why I need you to find her before anything bad happens again.” Alex said.
They talked for some time before Alex finally left his office.
He wanted to go and see her, but he did not want to trouble her, especially with the pain she must be feeling.
He went to his office to get himself busy, but he couldn’t even go through one file. He kept thinking of how he could make her stay because he knew how stubborn Ellie was.
He contemplated for some time before he finally went to the hospital in the night when he heard from the doctor that she was already sleeping.
He walked into the room, watching her sleep peacefully. “I guess I have to come see you only when you’re asleep.” He said with a weak smile.
He sighed, looking at the puffiness under her eyes. He stayed with her until the next day, but he made sure he left the hospital early in the morning, before she would wake up to see him.
