Chapter 91 - The Search - Part One

"Nancy answer me" I could hear Roland calling out to me. 

After the shocking news Roland just delivered I felt my head throbbing and Pana's questions only made it worse.

Annoyed, I turned to face her and make her shut up but instead she gave me a cheery smile when she told me Wolfe had returned.

"My lady, Wolfe came back by himself" she chirped.

"How did that happen?"

"Not sure my lady, it seems he is very familiar with this place. The guards saw him coming from the woods" she said while hugging him in her arms. He looks dirty and quiet.

What had happened to him why is he quiet? Or he is probably sick from staying out all night.

"Pana, I need to go out, take care of him, I will check on him once I'm back," I said looking for my car keys.

She stared at me for a few seconds, her eyes clearly saying no. I know when Zaneb returns to the house and doesn't see me she will be in trouble.

"My lady the prince..." She said, winking her hands in the air as if she got burnt by fire.

"Don't worry tell Zenab to call me, or yet still tell him I went to school" I said.

"Okay my lady but place take the guards with you else I'm a dead meat" she cries with her voice sounding innocent and sweet and I chuckled.

But I know I couldn't get her into trouble, I need to find Baby anyhow.

"Okay Pana, I will take one guard with me, can I go now?" I whispered.

She smiles at me and said, "Yes my

Lady, please be safe".

"Alright then bye, take care of Wolfe in my absence" I mumbled leaving to the car.

"Where to miss?" The guard asked as soon as I stepped out of the house.

"You will know when we set off," I said throwing the key to him. He caught it and stares at me.

"You are driving," I said as I sat in the car giving Pana a smile.

"I will be back soon, just go back inside," I said to Pana and she beamed.

She nods her head as the guard takes his time before starting the car.

We arrive at the pack headquarters. We found a few members who managed to escape or were not around at the time of the incident.

Among the people I saw were Justin and Branson. Roland was also there.

They were gathering the dead bodies, some had severe injuries. I clenched my nose at the sight of it and the smell coming from the bloodstains.

The guard walks quietly behind me.

"What are you doing here?" I said glaring at Roland.

"Simply put, I know you will come here after you hanged up on me" he pouts almost complaining I cut the call on him.

"What did you find?" I asked with my eyes widened.

Justin and Branson greeted me with a nod then walk away to engage in a conversation with the other elders. Probably discussing the way forward for the pack members since Baby is nowhere to be found.

"What is happening Roland?" I murmur walking closer to him.

"Since Baby is not back, they can only presume he is dead" he replied.

"No, that can't happen," I said.

"Well, since he has no heir, they will have to choose a new leader for the pack. You have no place here Nancy let go back now, this chapter is close" Roland said.

"No, no I can't accept that" I pout walking towards Justin and Branson.

"Baby is still alive and you will have to find him, you can't presume he is dead and just replace him like that," I said with my face contorted in anger.

"You shouldn't be here Nancy, Baby is nowhere to be found and we can only think about the pack right now," he said as the rest of the betas and elders gives me a deadly glare.

"I will find him myself then" my voice came out cold and daring.

"Save your energy, if there is something you need to find then it should be your mother's murder," one of the betas said.

Now I was angry. He hurt me where it hurts the most.

"What did you say?" I holler as I grab his collar. Roland gives me worried glances asking me not to make them angry but I didn't even look at him.

"We have strong reasons to believe Fidel was here last night, it means he is still in Akin city," Justin said pulling my hands away from the betas neck.

Roland walks to me and took me from there.

"Nancy!" A female voice called out to me. The three of us turn to see who it was.

"You, need to get out of here right now, I have a strong feeling Baby is still alive, you being his mate the pack might want to get rid of you" Ashley warns.

"How is your family, are they okay?" I whispered.

"Don't worry Nancy my brothers are fine. No one knows where Lao is, he has been out of town but Anasthasia and Emily didn't make it" she murmur shoving a piece of paper in my hands. It was an address.

"Find her, and you will find Baby, you are our only hope of us recovering from this tragedy, be careful" she whispers before turning to leave.

I stared at her back as my eyes drop down to the piece of paper in my hands.

"Let go," I said as we walk to the car.

"I'm coming with you" Roland pouts.

For some reason, I'm unable to rein my anger. And I could feel a bit uncomfortable in my belly.

We set off to look for the lady Ashley had named in the address but we were asked to look for her in a bar.

We entered the bar which was crowded, it didn't look like a normal bar. We draw attention as soon as we entered.

The guard and Roland did their best to prevent anyone from coming close to me.

"Dance with me, beautiful," a voice said as he grabs me by force from behind moving his body.

He was intoxicated. A lady came to my rescue. She didn't stink of alcohol but had a pleasant smell.

"Let go of her right this instant!" She yells making everyone stop to watch us.

Roland and the guard rush to our side.

"A place like this is not good for a lady like you" she rumbles pulling me away from the crowd.

"Thank you, but I'm sorry to bother you but I'm looking for her," I said showing her the piece of paper Ashley gave me.

She went quiet for a while staring at the paper as if she was not allowed to say anything.

Who am I even searching for?

"Listen, I can't help you, leave from here if you know what is best for you," she said almost whispering shoving the paperback in my hands.

I hold her hand when she tried to leave.

"Please, help me, it urgent I find this person" I pleaded.

It took her a while to answer, she was reluctant.

"Listen, I don't know where you can find her but..." She paused looking around if someone was coming.

"But she comes to the bar once in a while, if you keep coming to the bar you might bump into her" she mumbled.

"She is a very dangerous person and if I were you I will stay away from her" she finally cautions before leaving.

"Nancy, I think we should leave" Roland muttered.

"Fine, but I'm coming back until I find this so-called dangerous woman" I spit wrapping my hands around myself as I walk back to the car.

It is 3 weeks since Baby's disappearance and every night I go to the same bar in search of this mysterious woman.

"Where do you go every night, Nancy?" Zenab questions.

"Nowhere in particular" I muttered wearing my jacket. I will be meeting Betty and Roland at the same bar hoping to get lucky this time around.

This woman is my only hope of finding Baby.

"Are you going out tonight too?" Zenab asked.

"Yes and stop with the complaining, you guys go out partying all day what does it matter to you where I go every night?" I said angrily.

"Because I can not watch my sister beg for love from someone who doesn't deserve it," he said on top of his voice.

I could see prince Asher and prince Assin throw side glances at us but I pretend to see them. Besides me and Baby's affair is no longer news to anyone in the house.

"You go about leading a lady you can't be with on, you think I don't know you still see Roses? So don't come to with that. Deal with your problems and I will deal with mine" I said storming out of the house.

"I got the paperwork to be able to get mum and dad's remains, once it is done, we are all heading back to Zamuniland, you hear that?" I heard him yell. He angrily stares at me as I ignore him, he stood by the door with the two princes beside him.

The guard droves off the compound. And I could see them from the side mirror, they watch as till the car was out of their sight.

I wonder why he bothers to ask me where I go when the guard tells him everything. I hate having to argue with him.. My mind shifted to Baby, I hope he is doing okay, I pray I get lucky meeting the mysterious lady tonight.
