Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 180: Poached for Profit

Moana

“That’s not all,” Olivia said, looking at me with a sickening combination of sadness and concern on her face that only filled me with dread.

I had already just read that a woman — who was likely Ethan’s mother, judging from the information in the newspaper article — had died under mysterious circumstances around the Morgan family. Not only that, but I had discovered that it was very likely that Edrick had taken my wolf tooth and a lock of my hair to a witch, and he was now putting some sort of potion in my morning coffee. I couldn’t fathom why he would want to do that, but now that I had read the newspaper article about Ethan’s mother, I was beginning to wonder if that poor woman had met a fate that I was bound to meet if I continued being poisoned.

And now, before I could even process all of this, Olivia was saying that she had something else to reveal to me, as though there was even possibly anything else that could add another layer to this twisted mess.

“W-What else is there?” I whispered, my voice shaking just as much as my hands.

Olivia, with a sigh, reached into her purse again and retrieved something else. It was another folded piece of paper. She hesitated with it in her hands, then looked up at me. “Can I see the tooth again?” she asked.

I froze for a moment, then nodded and handed it back to her. As I did, she opened the folded piece of paper to reveal what looked to be a page ripped out of a book. She put both of the objects in the center of the table. The page had an illustration of a wolf tooth on it, with text all around. Immediately, I could see two words that stuck out to me: Golden Wolf. And now that my own wolf tooth was laying next to the illustration, they looked eerily similar.

“You’re the Golden Wolf, Moana,” Olivia said. She was whispering now, as though she didn’t want anyone to overhear a single word of what she was saying. It instantly transported me back to the night that Ethan told me about the story of the Golden Wolf, and how people would hunt the Golden Wolf if it was real.
