The next second, I woke up in bed, covered in sweat.
It turned out to be a bad dream.
I gasped and tried to catch my breath, Listening to the leaves rustling in the wind outside the window.
Last night, Caleb admitted that he was my mate and that he even wanted to mark me while we were kissing in the storage room.
Marking-a wonderful thing for two destined mates. When I was a teenager, I had often imagined what my mate would be Like and how grand our wedding would be.
But now that I had found my mate, I wasn’t as happy as I had predicted. Because it was too late.
Caleb was five years too late. Now, I didn’t need him anymore.
At present, the only thing I needed to do was to complete my mission. The sooner, the better. I’d finally leave this wretched place with Elena, and we’d spend the rest of our days living peacefully in the Xeric Pack.
Because of the nightmare, I couldn’t fall asleep anymore so I got out of bed and went to work early.
I couldn’t stop thinking about the pregnant she-wolf I’d met in the detention room. I suspected Emily had something to do with Adam, so I looked up the information of previous employees at the office.
As expected, I found out that the crazy woman, Emily, used to work here.
And it turned out that she was Adam’s former secretary!
“Debra, what’re you doing?” Sally suddenly came over.
“Nothing. Just randomly browsing through some files here,“ I answered vaguely.
Sally glanced at the paper in my hand and asked, “Is that Emily’s resume?”
“Yeah,” I admitted sheepishly.
Sally didn’t scold me. Instead, she whispered in a low voice, “Don’t ever mention her name in front of Adam, okay?”
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. My curiosity was piqued, so I immediately asked, “Why? What happened?”
Sally looked around to make sure no one was Listening. “Well, I don’t know much. I just know that Emily used to work here and that Adam trusted her because she did her job well. But she had gotten drunk at a party with him. She was raped on the way back. Emily hated Adam after this. One day, she was fired for no reason. Maybe she went crazy because of the constant exposure to her rapist.”
“Oh, my God. That’s terrible.”
Thinking of Emily’s bulging belly, I guessed that she might’ve gotten pregnant because of the rape. But this story still didn’t explain why Emily said those things about Adam and Roz Town.
Did she just hate Adam so much that she made it all up, or did she know something?
