Can I trust you?

NALEDI’S POV

“Find Flora and everything will fall into place.”

The words remained rooted in my mind, long after I left the crappy hotel. I took a cab back and dailed Korah who picked at the first ring.

“My lady! Where are you?” Her tone was distressed. I’d taken more than the three hours I’d originally requested.

“Did you return to the headquarters?” I asked, hoping and praying they didn’t.

“How could we?! The Alpha would have our heads if he found that we lost you.” That was a relief to hear.

“Good. I’ll meet you at the junction where we parted. I’m right on my way.” I dropped the call and my brain worked overtime - thinking of the best way to go about the situation.

Soon enough I reached my destination and the car was parked right at the junction, waiting for my arrival. As soon as I got out of the taxi, I saw the silhouette of Korah who looked anything but happy to see me.
