Chapter 113: The Alpha’s Disappearance

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Weekend arrived, and Dr. Jane Porter and I went bowling. The activity seemed to energize her in a way I hadn’t seen before.

“I often bowl to relieve stress,” she admitted, lining up her shot. 1 imagine the pins as people I hate.”

She knocked down all ten pins with impressive force.

As she celebrated, I noticed a silver ring hanging from a chain around her neck. She quickly tucked it back

under her shirt when she saw me looking.

“Nice shot,” I complimented, deciding not to pry.

Back at my apartment building, I was surprised to find Dr. Hugo Ashworth moving boxes into the unit next

door.

“You’re my new neighbor?” I asked, watching the movers carry his belongings.

“I never lived at home,” he replied curtly. “My father didn’t tell you about me, did he?”

Before I could respond, he added, “Your doorway is a bit dirty. Remember to sweep.”

He disappeared into his apartment, leaving me standing in the hallway.

My phone rang just as I entered my own apartment. Amber Stone’s name appeared on the screen.

“What do you want?” I answered coldly.

“Marcus has been in an accident,” she said urgently. “You need to come.”

I felt my heart skip a beat, then forced myself to remain calm.

“Why didn’t you call Sophia Rivers instead?”

“Sophia Rivers is not Marcus’s Luna,” Amber Stone sighed over the phone. “I know you resent him in your heart. Now he is in critical condition in the emergency bay, and the Blackwood family doesn’t even know that he came to Riverside City to find you. No matter what, please, for the sake of Margaret Blackwood, come and

see him.”

I took a deep breath to compose myself. The manipulation in her words was transparent.

1 respect Margaret Blackwood’s kindness,” I said calmly. “But I distinguish between the elder and Marcus

Blackwood”

My voice grew firmer. “I refuse to be manipulated by gratitude. I owe the Blackwood family nothing for the

past six years.”
