After I concluded that the pendant wasn’t in the backpack, I discarded it and looked around the room I’d been confined to. There was a stack of boxes in the far
corner I hadn’t noticed when I’d first arrived.
I rushed over to them and wasted no time. I rummaged through the closest one, and once I finished rooting through it, I moved on to the next.
I continued this way for nearly an hour.
In the process of searching my belongings, a pair of se rvants took turns delivering more boxes. With every one, I prayed to the Moon Goddess that the pendant had just gotten misplaced in a pocket or bag, and when it wasn’t in any of the spots, my frustration grew.
Finally, the se vants stopped arriving, and I began to give up. My mother’s
necklace wasn’t here.
Thankfully, one thing was certain the pendant hadn’t been found by the Alpha King’s guards. If it had, things wouldn’t be nearly as quiet as they were now. If my true identity had been revealed, Asher Collins would have been crazed and frantic, and the entire Pack House would be up in figurative smoke.
Since it wasn’t here, my mother’s pendant had to be back in my house, most likely hidden away somewhere. I tried to search my memory in an attempt to figure out where it was, but my brain was drawing an absolute blank.
There was only one logical plan of attack.
I needed to get home and find it before the guards did.
I would have to act quickly and sneak out of the Pack House as swiftly as possible.
It would only take a short amount of time- just a quick in and out, and then I could sneak back in and act like nothing ever happened.
I spent the next half hour working up the courage to make my escape, and once I was finally ready, Finnick surprised me and entered the room.
“Hi, Mommy,” he greeted me in a happy tone, but his gray eyes were even more
serious than usual.
“Hi, baby,” I replied, and my eyebrows creased together. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” he murmured, and then after a moment of consideration, he continued. “Well… I ran into the bad man earlier. The King.”
“The King?” I repeated back in surprise, and a lump formed in my throat. “What… what happened? Did he say something to you, Finnick? Were you polite to
