Enigma

Chapter 31- Amara



Chapter 31- Amara

We were so focused on Ajax and Zeno that nobody knew when or where Aria went. It was because of

Zeno that we found out that she wasn’t here.

He abruptly snapped out of his daze without any recollection of knowing what was happening or how

he got under a snarling wolf spirit. Ajax moved away from him in a shocked state and he started going

into raging fit. At first, we didn’t understand what had happened to him, but it was made clear what was

going on when he shouted about not knowing where Aria is, and everything clicked in place.

Zeno had abruptly snapped out of whatever state of mind he was stuck in and Ajax went ballistic right

after Aria went at a certain distance for them to not feel her around. This mate thing is really getting out

of hands. I don’t think we have much time left in our hands now. I might have to let Zeno shift. There is

no other option. They both seem to have been losing it. Losing their first mate has left a major dent on

them.

That is not something I should be worried about now. Aria is nowhere to found. We are looking for her

over half an hour now. We looked all over the forest we usually visit and she knows but there is no

trace of her. I hope she hasn’t run off blindly. She could get lost in the woods and with the demons on

our case, it might turn into a disaster.

What if the demons got to her? What if they took her? What if they killed her? What if…

“We will find her love.” Steven said breaking me out of my chain of thoughts.

I didn’t say anything. I saw Ajax pace in front of me as I sat with Steven on the steps of the cabin with Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

the Alpha and his pack surrounding us. The others are looking for her.

Ajax had completely lost it when Aria went missing and he was on the verge of shooting in the forest to

go after her, but Ryder ordered him to stay put. Seeing his state now, that was a better decision. He

would have probably been a hindrance more than a help with the state he is in.

Zeno on the other hand couldn’t recall what had happened after Aria had left the clearing to drop Val,

Beth and Eros. Looking at his bewildered state, I didn’t know at that moment if I should pity him or

crack his head open to check if he there was any of his brain left in his head. Stella took him inside the

meeting house to rest as he was flinching and looking around wide eyed. The mate problem is really

getting to him now and he is totally unaware of it.

“Love why don’t you calm down? Everyone is looking for her. We will definitely find her.”

“No. I should be out there looking for her too Steven but here I am being forced to stay put. What if

something happens to her? I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.” I snapped.

“You know why you are here. We can’t have you wondering in the woods with a threat on your head

and as for Aria, we will find her. She will be back with us in no time. Think it this way. If she comes

here, we will be here for her.”

I nodded looking around the woods for any sign of my baby. I don’t know how long we sat there but the

forest had completely submerged in darkness. I was about to lose my head and go looking for her

myself when the forest line started to illuminate more and more.

Earl came out of the tree line with an unconscious female on his back followed by Fallon and Emersyn.

I ran towards them and Steven got her down. I gasped in horror at the state of her. Ajax growled in rage

but started to whimper sitting beside her.

My baby looked half dead. There wasn’t an inch of her that was unharmed. Who would do such a thing

to her?

“Steven take her inside the cabin. I need to heal her.”

Steven dashed inside with our daughter in his arms and exited the cabin once he placed her on the

bed. Ajax tried to follow me inside, but I stopped him at the door which he reluctantly agreed. I stripped

Aria’s clothes to find the horrifying state of her body.

There were blue and purple bruises all over her body. The worst were on her stomach and head. I

started with her head and then gradually healed every other bruise. I checked her for any unattended

injury, but she was completely healed now. She will wake up soon. I cleaned her with a washcloth and

put some of my lose clothes on her. I left the cabin as I covered her with the blanket.

“Who?” I asked as I closed the door behind me.

“Demons.” I growled as Earl uttered those words. “Two of them. We found her in the denser part of the

woods deep to the east. They were about to snap her neck when we got there. A second late and we

would have lost her. We killed them.”

I nodded. Ajax looked to be on the verge of losing it again.

“Ajax why don’t you go stay with Aria inside? It will help you calm down.” I told him.

I didn’t need to tell him twice. He more like ran inside.

“I told the kids about Aria being safe.” Steven told me.
