Chapter 30

Four chapters in two days and only THREE comments? Surely is my hard work all in vain? Thank you
@ Labhavi for appreciating and commenting on the chapters. 🙏

Jackpot, I felt like I had secured one the moment Mimi stated that we could catch the villain with Monica's scent. These bloodied papers had been tormenting me for weeks. They lodged themselves deep in my brain and ate up my brain cells, forcing my systems to go overdrive.

I couldn't contain my feet as they padded on the area rug in our sitting room, from one edge to another. The bond link was left open and even so, my pulse kept on spiking up with every minute that went by, without any update from Ryker. I had already
groomed myself up for good news and nothing could have stopped me from smiling as I pictured it all.

'You're starting to piss me off with this pacing of yours. ' Janette was seated comfortably on our couch with no care in the world. A bowl of homemade double butter popcorn sat on her lap. She held a sizeable cup of white tea, chasing the popcorn bite with it. I tried understanding why or how she could eat such a combination without throwing up.

'Aren't you at least worried about Jayson? ' I forced down a gag as she fed herself gluttonously.

'Nope ' She threw a mouthful of the popcorn without even sparing me a glance.

'Are you being serious Janette? ' I placed my hands on either side of my waist, my previous worry temporarily coming to a halt.

'Come on Tammmmla, eyaa. ' Her muddled words made me shake my head.

'Oh please swallow up before speaking. ' I cut her off, waiting patiently as she swallowed a mouthful of her weird snacks.

'I was saying that they are big boys, the Alpha and the Beta respectively. ' She gulped down the words with a loud sip of the liquid, making me curl my lips downwards.

'So what if they are? ' I swear something was awfully wrong with her. The Janette I knew would be hyperventilating now, given the situation our mates were in. Instead, she sat comfortably filling her stomach with such intemperance.

'It simply and straightforwardly means that they can take care of themselves. They were born for this, you realise that right? ' Another swig of her tea in three gulps, some dripping on the corners of her mouth.

'I just can't with you right now. ' I raised my hands in surrender.

'Come. ' She patted the spot next to her for me to take a seat. Willing myself to relax and wait for a response from Ryker, I obliged the smell of butter hitting my nostrils as I sat down.

'I came into this pack without nothing. ' Her low voice was perceived by my sound sense, getting a little bit of my wavering attention. I couldn't help that my thoughts were still inclined to the search party that my mate was currently involved in.

'Janette. ' Was she finally telling me about her past and particularly her genesis? I scooted closer to her, the movement made her put the bowl and the cup on the wooden table. If she had finally put down the two, then that meant she was serious.

'When I say nothing, I mean it. I was nude, totally with nothing to show other than my bruises. ' She took a long deep breathe with her eyes mirroring a resolute look.

'You don't have to do this please. ' She turned her face on me, watching me silently before turning it again and staring on the far end of the living room.

'Ssshhh. ' She put her finger on her mouth. If she was ready to tell me all about it and so be it.

'The patrol team at that time spotted me on the neutral grounds, right before your border. I didn't know where I was at that time, hell, my mind couldn't even function. ' She clicked her tongue, I guess the memory was not so appealing.
