Chapter 184
Something had happened to Casper.
And judging by Eden’s reaction, it must be something serious.
“Where is he!” Janet snapped.
“In his own room…Wait for me, Gamma Janet!”
Yet Janet had already pushed him aside and rushed into the packhouse. She vaguely heard Daran’s
voice calling her room from behind, but she didn’t have time to stop
for him.
Janet dashed across the hallway, up the staircase, and headed directly toward the Alpha’s suite,
ignoring the puzzled glances of soldiers and maids.
A group of people were gathered by the door of Alpha’s suite when Janet arrived. There were doctors,
and maids carrying trays of food and beverages.
“Gamma Janet!” some gasped upon seeing her, “You are back!”
Janet walked up to them, slightly out of breath, “What is going on?”
“We tried knocking, but the Alpha…he won’t let us in.”
“He refuses any treatments,” the doctor sighed.
“And he hasn’t eaten in 3 days.”
Janet clenched her teeth.
She had never seen Casper behave like this before.
Her brother was very mature. Locking himself in his own bedroom and refusing to talk to anyone didn’t
seem like him.
The maid bit her lips and said, “We were just talking about if we should unlock the door with the key but
Alpha probably won’t be happy…What are you doing, Gamma Janet?”
She gasped seeing Janet reeled back a few steps.
“Back down.”
Janet said coldly, her eyes fixing on the door.
Then she dashed forward, jumped up in the air, and kicked on the door with one leg!
The lock snapped.
The entire door panel crushed to the floor with a loud bang, followed by shocked gasps from the maids
and doctors.
“But But the Alpha clearly said no interruption…” the maid stuttered.
“Well, he can blame his misbehaved sister later.”
Janet dusted her clothes and took over the food, “Thank you. Let me have a moment with my brother.”
She stepped into Casper’s room alone.
The first thing that she noticed was the heavy scent of alcohol hanging thick in the
air.
Janet held her breath in disbelief.
…He was fucking drunk?!
The curtains were drawn, shutting out the daylight and casting the space into a suffocating darkness.
A faint glow from the lamp was the only light source.
With the dim light, Janet saw empty bottles scattered across the floor, booze spilled. The room reeked
with despair.
Janet’s heart sank as she spotted her brother, Casper, lying on the cold floor, cuddling a half–gone
bottle of vodka.
He looked fuck up.
His cheeks were unnaturally red as though he was in a fever. He must have not showered or shaved in
days, looking more like a homeless than a mighty Alpha.
“Casper!”
Janet snapped as she crossed the room and grabbed Casper by the collar, yanking him up from the
floor.
“Wake up!”
Casper mumbled something vaguely.
He opened his eyes a bit and looked up. But he couldn’t get his eyes into focus,
“…Janet?” he murmured. “Y–You are back?”
Janet’s heart was filled with a mix of concern and anguish.
“Yeah, I am back. I called you a week ago. Remember? What the hell happened? Why are you doing
this to yourself?” she snapped.
Casper blinked, looking confused, “A–A week ago? No, it isn’t right…What…What date is today?”
Janet gritted.
She grabbed a glass of juice and poured the whole glass down Casper’s head!
Casper shivered at the ice–cold juice and snapped his eyes open, “Hey!”
“Better?” Janet dumped the empty glass on the floor, “Now tell me what happened.”
Casper rubbed his face and let out a heavy sigh.
He was perked up a bit but still looked very exhausted with his messy hair and bloodshot eyes.
“I am sorry. I should be at the front gate to welcome you back.” he said hoarsely,
“But there is a welcome home party later. I promise I will be there-”
Janet couldn’t hear his nonsense anymore.
She raised her hand and- This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
SLAP!
A red slap mark appeared on Casper’s cheek.
“WHAT THE FUCK!!!” Casper snarled after a brief moment of daze.
“We are not leaving this room until you tell me what happened.”
Janet looked down at him coldly, “…Does it have something to do with Balvina?” Balvina wasn’t at the
front door to welcome her back
She sensed something was wrong.
Casper’s reaction told her that she made the correct guess. He buried his face into his palms and let
out a light sob, “…She is gone…”
“Gone?” Janet rounded her eyes, “What do you mean gone? Did she leave? Or abducted by anyone?”
“I fucking don’t know!”
Casper growled, pulling his own hair in frustration, “I don’t know! Fuck…We were having dinner one
night as usual and we even kissed each other goodnight before heading back to our own room…but
the next morning, she just vanished from her
own room!
“Any luggage?”
Casper shook his head, “She didn’t take anything. It looked as though she went out for a walk and just
never came back…”
Janet wanted to give her dickhead brother another hard slap across his face:
“So your big solution is to get yourself drunk?! You should be out there searching for her! What if she is
in danger right now? And you won’t be able to save her because you are fucking wasted!”
“I have searched for her!!” Casper roared, “I turned the entire city upside down but NO! No sign of her
at all! I went into the mountain but still… Maybe she grew tired of me, Janet. Maybe she wanted to
leave…”
Janet shoved him to the floor and turned striding towards the door.
More people were gathered by the end of the hallway. Maids, doctors, soldiers, Eden…Even Daran and
Westin were here.
“Gamma Janet!” the doctor rushed forward seeing Janet come out, “Does Alpha need any medical
treatment-
“He fucking looks fine to me,” Janet said icily.
“What happened?” Daran asked with a frown.
Janet let out a frustrated sigh, “Casper got himself hammered because Balvina was gone. I am just
worried about her safety right now…”
“Hold on. Who is Balvina?” Westin chimed in. “She is your brother’s mate?”
Daran darted him an impatient glare, “Hold your questions. This isn’t a press conference.”
“I just want to help,” Westin shrugged.
“Go.” Daran nodded, “We will be fine.”
The two of them watched Janet go down the hallway and disappear around the
corner.
“Alpha Daran,” Westin spoke up abruptly. “We should help Janet find this friend of hers. And let’s make
it into a race. See who finds her first.”
“Well about that…We will see.‘
Westin smiled defiantly at Daran and left the hallway.
Daran let out a sneer internally.
He stopped a maid in the hallway and asked her where Balvina’s room was and headed to her room.
Balvina’s room looked perfectly normal.
Everything remained right where it belonged.
Clothes still in the closet, a half–read book on the tea table, and some opened snacks. on the
nightstand.
Whatever the reason she was gone…it didn’t look planned.
Daran walked around the room. In the end, he got on his knees and looked
underneath the bed.
That was where he found something unnatural.
A prescription bottle.
He grabbed the bottle and studied the description written on it.
His eyes darkened.
