Chapter 37
Asher’s POV
Cain and his shenanigans were not even one of the last things on my mind at the moment. But despite the fact that I tried to act unfazed. I was deeply worried about his reaction. I had never seen Cain so worried about anyone in his entire life,
Could there be something going on between him and Gemini?
I threw the thoughts to the back of my mind as soon as Rex walked in. Rex was the head of the disciplinary section of the army.
“Has Becca said anything yet?” Lasked, hoping to get good news
He shook his head dismissively. “Nothing yet, Your Majesty. She still insists that she has nothing to do with it.”
I shut my eyes momentarily, a small sigh escaping my lips. “Fucking liar, I cursed. This was no coincidence, she either did something to Gemini or had someone do it. I’ve known Becca to be very cunning and ambitious and it made it really hard to believe her. “Intensify the torture, make sure you milk out every single truth from her mouth”
As soon as Rex left, I picked up my phone to call Alan. He and the other soldiers that had gone with him that night were still out. They had not returned home since the full moon and I didn’t care to know how long they stayed out, all I cared about was Gemini’s safe return.
Unfortunately, even Alan had nothing to offer.
The weight of everything pressed down on me, my mind extremely heavy. What made me the most restless was that Darryl couldn’t perceive or even feel her. I guess the wolfsbane was yet to fade from her system.
The restlessness I felt was intensifying by the second. I wanted to go out there and search for her myself, to bring her back home unharmed, but I couldn’t just leave the pack, not when most of my soldiers had gone out in search of her.
On second thought, I imagined. What if Gemini was working with an external force? As the thought crossed my mind, my eyes narrowed, and my grip on the phone rightened. What if Gemini wasn’t a victim, but a willing participant? The possibility sent a wave of anger and betrayal coursing through my veins.
I quickly pushed the thought aside, refusing to believe it. Gemini wouldn’t do that to me, to us. She was my mate, my partner. We had our differences. but she knew how much I cared for her.
Or did she?
Could this be a payback for how badly I have treated her in the past?
But how the fuck did she slip past a whole army! I really need to understand this
The guards and maids have been facing back to back lashing and punishments since she arrived, starting from the maids who refused to feed her even when I had ordered, to the guards who were at the borders the day she almost went missing with a student. All these incidents just kept pointing out the packs infidelities that I didn’t know existed
Thousands of thoughts flowed though my mind, both positive and negative. I took a deep breath, trying to clear my mind and focus on the task at hand. I picked up my phone again and dialled Alan’s number.
“Alan, I need you to do something for me,” I said, my voice firm and
and commanding
“What is it. Your Majesty?” Alan replied, his tone alert and attentive.
“I want you to send a team to Moonrock Pack.” I instructed. “It’s not impossible for her to have returned there.”
There was a brief pause on the other end of the line “Alright, your majesty. On it!” I could sense his scepticism
Even I didn’t think that she would return there after how much I had threatened her about refusing to come with me hot at this point, she could be anywhere.
A thought sparked through my mind, I should check her mon, I thought. I should have thought of this earlier since that was her last location before she went missing I needed to check for any and every clur I could possibly find.
I got to her door step, pushing the doors graily open. Me hadn’t lived here for too long, but the little time she had stayed was enough to get her cologne imprinted in the atmosphere. The atmosphere felt warm, as if untouched by time, and somehow, it felt like she was present there
Subconsciously, I shut my eyes, relaxing into her scent and realising how much I had missed this scent. Unfortunately, the last days before this event were spent ignoring her

I walked further into the room as I continued to bask in her scent. But suddenly, an ungodly scent filtered into
Wolfsbane
my nose.
My eyes flickered open immediately, my Lycan sense heightened as I continued to take in the sight before me, carefully observing everything around. From her bedside drawer to her disheveled bed, and then to her devices which were on a study table by the comer of the room. My eyes continued to roam the place until it landed on the wardrobe door.
I walked in, my hands dancing across her collection of hoodies and then the dresses I got her. My eyes lingered on the red dress she had on for our first night out. The longer I stared, the more memories of that night sipped in. Her drunk self, when the tried flirting with me and then to the moment where I almost couldn’t resist screwing her.
I proceeded from the dress section to her sneakers, heels and then jewelleries. But something seemed a little off, the necklace and the ring I gifted her were not amongst them. Had she finally decided to put them on! The thought left a smirk on my once expressionless face.
But as soon as it appeared, it disappeared when I found everything lying secluded in a corner of the wardrobe, including the car keys.
I sighed as I turned to leave-
A chime echoed through the room and I took out my phone, expecting a message from Alan, but my hopes went dry when I realised it had not come from my phone.
It couldn’t be Gemini’s phone either, cause I had been calling her line since she went missing, but it was switched off. I hurried out of the wardrobe and that was when I found her once sleeping system now woke.
I frowned, stepping closer to the desk where the soft chime had come from. My eyes landed on the sleek silver laptop resting there, its screen glowing faintly in the dimly lit room. The screen displayed an open email, and a sense of unease crept over me.
Gemini’s laptop!
I hesitated for a moment before sitting down. The email was still open, “SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION. Read the headline. I clicked on it without a second thought
My eyes darted through the information on the screen-

Disbelief clouded my mind as 1
through the email over and over, not knowing how to tract to it. I went further to check for previous messages
that had led to this one, and that was when I realised that the exchange had been going on for a while.
The whole revelation brought me to the realisation that I korw absolutely nothing alamat Gemini. Her intelligence, her achievements, and her past…. All I ever cared about was the prophecy and the fact that my fate was in her hands.
At that moment, Cain’s words seemed to re–echo in my head.

As I sat there in front of the laptop, the weight of the situation pressing down on me, a sudden knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.
“Enter,” I commanded, my voice steady.
The door creaked open, and a soldier stepped in-
“Your Majesty,” the soldier began, bowing slightly, “we’ve received information about Lady Gemini’s whereabouts”
