Chapter 19
It felt like all the air rushed out of me when I stared at an empty room. There was no sound coming from within the room so I knew that Jessy couldn’t be anywhere around but I began a mad search around the small space hoping to find my daughter somewhere within the room.
“Jessy! Jessy!” I called out and when only silence met my ears I burst out in tears..
The room looked pristine, the beds were untouched like it had not been slept in yet. Zoe said Christie had put Jessy to bed but it didn’t look like anyone had even been in the room at all.
It looked the exact way that I had left it in the morning.
Then it flashed through my mind, like a video that had been sourced out from its folder and set to play in slow motion.
Matthew’s words to me earlier in the day and then the sly smirk that he had given me when I had been dragged out of the
room.
I dashed out of the room as I remembered it and moved to Christie’s door knocking as carefully as I could without having to wake up
the entire mansion even when my instincts screamed at me to bang down every door until I found my daughter.
A sleepy Christie pulled the door open and when she saw the tears running down my face and the urgency written in it, she
did a double take.
“What’s the problem Freya?” She asked, looking around the hallway for any signs of danger.
“Jessy, she’s not in the room. I can’t find her.” I rushed out, my voice strained with emotion
All I wanted to hear was that my daughter was sleeping inside her room safe but when Christie’s eyes widened in horror, it confirmed my fears.
She wasn’t here.
“What? I put her to bed myself.” Christie whispered, stepping out of the room and rushing in the direction of mine.
I didn’t wait for her to come back, She wasn’t going to find her there. Instead I began knocking on every door in the quarters, asking if anyone had seen my daughter.
The more negative responses I got the worse I felt and soon it felt like I was going to collapse from the effect.
I was in pain mentally and physically and I just wanted my daughter.
I knocked on Emilia’s door and the raven haired girl was the one to open it. She cut me a dirty look and sneered in disgust when she caught sight of my face.
“What do you want?” She asked, not bothering to hide the irritation in her words. I swallowed thickly.
“My daughter’s missing, I was wondering if you happened to have seen her,”
Emilia let out a bitter laugh.
“Do I look like her caregiver? Or do I look like I would be wasting any time keeping an eye out for your daughter? You’re disturbing the entire quarter Freya and some of us actually appreciate a good sleep so take a break.”

Chapter 19
The door was shut in my face before I could get another word and that caused a fresh bout of tears to run down my
cheeks.
“Maybe you should go to the Alpha, Freya. I tucked a sleeping Jessy into bed and if she’s missing and she isn’t in anyone’s room then it means something is terribly wrong and you need to let him know,” Christie said by my side.
She had helped with asking around the quarters for Jessy. I could see the fear dance in her depths and I could tell just how worried she was about the situation.
She was after all the last person that had seen Jessy and if anything happened she would be the first person to be blamed. “Thank you.” I whispered and walked out of the quarters in the direction of the Alpha’s room.
I was halfway up the stairs when it settled heavily in my mind. What was I supposed to say to the Alpha? He had just spent the last hour punishing me and who was to say that he wasn’t still angry with me and might only dismiss me as a result and whenever he decided to give me a listening car might be too late.
