Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Marcus’s POV

.

I woke up with a pain in his head. I groaned as I rolled to lie on his back. As I massaged my temples, I realized something, I was with a woman last night and I had shared a night of intimacy. Immediately, I opened my eyes in horror.

I quickly analyze the room and realized this was my brother’s room.

Oh, no, no, no!

‘Please God, whatever I’m thinking comes out to be wrong.’

Because whatever I was thinking would come out true then that woman was my brother’s bride.

But how the hell, did I land in my brother’s room?

I recalled what had happened last night.

Being a prankster, I had spiked my brother’s drink, after all, it was his wedding night. But I underestimated him because he smartly changed my drink with his.

FLASHBACK

.

“What did you do?”, I glared at my brother who was looking at me with an amused expression. In fact, Liam was controlling himself from bursting into laughter. I clearly remembered that I didn’t drink anything on which my head would start spinning and I would start seeing the things double or triple.

“Nothing just played a prank with the prankster.”, He answered casually to which Liam started laughing. When I furrowed my eyebrow at him. He added, “I just changed our drink, brother.”, He winked on which I groaned, feeling dizzy.

“There’s an attack from werewolves in the eastern side of the city, Boss.”, Someone informed.

“Not today!”, My brother hissed in irritation. “Let’s go, Liam.”

“I’ll also…”

“Nope. Not in this state.”, He cut me off. He looked around, searching for someone who I believed could be his bride. “Ms. Potter, please inform Amber that I had to leave urgently at this moment because of some important work and guide Marcus to his room.”, He said to Ms. Potter before leaving from there.

As the second passed, I was feeling hot and excited all over.

‘Damn it! This meant to happen with Xander not me.’, I cursed back in my mind. “Ms. Potter, can you call Megan and send her to my room?”, I asked her to call my girlfriend because I knew I need her in this state.

“Sure.”

Ms. Potter took me to my room, and once I walked inside, the first thing I did was to take shower, to control the heat on my body. I didn’t know how long I stayed in the shower until the light of the washroom immediately went off.

I looked around to check the things but got off guarded when I was embraced by someone from the back.

.

AT PRESENT

.

I quickly look around for my phone to know whether it was Megan last night with me or someone else? I didn’t give a damn about the fact that I was completely naked at that time. All I wanted was to know the truth. But before I could have called Megan. I found a few messages from her.

“Sorry babe, I received Ms. Potter’s call but I can’t come tonight. My parents are in town and I had promised to take them out tonight.’

.

‘Fuck! What the hell, happened last night!’, I hissed, getting angry at Amber. How could she think to initiate any kind of intimacy with me, knowing I was not her husband?

But then could this be any kind of misunderstanding? After all, I was in her room, so she might have thought that I was her husband? But then again, she wasn’t drunk unlike me? Or was she?

Whatever was the reason, I had to talk with her before my brother.

I checked each and every part of the home to find her but she was nowhere to be found.

At that moment, I was nothing but furious. Furious at Amber for disappearing like she was never there, and then at myself.

I had no idea by when my brother was going to arrive at home but before that, I had to delete all the things through which he could reach the truth, the truth which could destroy my relationship with my brother. The truth which I would make sure that no one would ever know.

“No one.”

I didn’t care what would happen with Amber after last night but I knew that I couldn’t dare to lose my brother and Megan after last night. And to make this happen. Amber needed to shut her mouth for all her life and I had to reach near her before anyone else could.

I quickly took out my phone from my pocket and dialed the number of that enemy which I never thought to contact ever in my life.

“Hello James Knight.”, I said from this side of the phone.

Alexander’s POV

.

Though the guards informed me that Amber lefte from on her own but something in me was telling me that I was missing something.

‘Something’s nor tight….’, I thought. The connection or what Amber always says, yes ‘Mate Bond’ was forcing me to think in other way. I could feel her fear, anger and the pain at the same time. She was not at all right. Before I had time to process my thoughts my feets was already moving toward the security room, where all footage of CCTV could be seen.

I signaled the guard to leave from there and started checking the footage from the last night to the morning.

Till that moment, I was not sure who could be the reason behind my wife sudden disappearance but whoever he or she was, it was from my own home.

My intuition got cleared when I didn’t find any footage of the system which were pointing toward his room. But no matter, how smart that person was, he or she might have had made a mistake!

With that hope, I started checking all the cameras again.

“I know you can’t trust anyone at this moment but let me do thing for you and by that time, you can check other things.”, I heard Liam speaking.

“I should never have leave her here at the first place.”, I said without removing my eyes from the screen. “See, from this moment, she started feeling uneasy.”, I added, showing her the footage of last night. “What do you think then?”

“Maybe she has left on her own but something happened…something happened which forced her to leave.”, I came at the conclusion.

I was mad at myself for leaving her alone.

I was mad at her for leaving me without telling anything.

And at last I was mad at the third party which caused this situation between them.
