Chapter 436: Worried

Olivia’s POV

I noticed commotion everywhere. Guards were rushing down the hall, their boots pounding hard against the marble floor. Staff members whispered in panic, their faces pale. Something was wrong—terribly wrong.

I frowned, stepping out from where I stood. "What’s going on?" I asked one of the maids who ran past me, but she didn’t stop long enough to answer.

My wolf stirred uneasily inside me. Something’s happened, she whispered. Can’t you feel it?

Yes. I could. The air was thick with fear.

Then I saw one of the guards sprint past with a radio in his hand. "She’s gone!" he barked into it. "I repeat—Lady Selene’s been taken!"

I froze. My heart stopped for a second. "What did you just say?" I demanded, grabbing his arm.

The guard looked startled but didn’t have time to respond before Lord Frederick’s voice boomed across the mansion.

"Seal every exit!" he shouted from down the corridor. His tone was raw, furious, and desperate. "Find her! Now!"

Selene.

They were talking about Selene.

My mind spun. "Taken?" I whispered to myself. "By who?"

No one answered, but the fear in their eyes told me enough. Whatever had happened—it wasn’t random. Someone had planned this.

My chest tightened painfully. Despite everything between us, I couldn’t help the panic rising in me.

What if she was hurt? What if this was the vampires’ doing?

I turned toward the stairs, hearing Frederick’s sharp voice again, echoing through the halls.
