Chapter 33

Eda

How did things get so bad so fast?

It was supposed to be a wonderful party and we didn’t even get a moment to enjoy it. Peelle joins me inside a safe room. Neither one of us speaks as we try to listen out for whatever is going on outside.

I can’t help but touch my mark from Osborn. I need him to be okay.

It felt like the battle lasted for hours before Osborn let us out. He hugged me and kissed my cheek and down my neck as he murmurs, “I’m so glad that you’re okay, love.”

Peelle’s eyes scan the room and he asks the question that no one realized yet, “Where’s Alita?”

I see Claudia’s eyes widen and she looks around the room and Evan says, “She was supposed to come inside. Where would she go?”

Everyone scattered instantly looking for Alita, but one by one we all came back to the main room. Claudia’s eyes are glossy and she whispers in disbelief, “She isn’t here.”
