Chapter 184


    Something had happened to Casper.


    And judging by Eden’s reaction, it must be something serious.


    “Where is he!” J snapped.


    “In his own room…Wait for me, Gamma J!”


    Yet J had already pushed him aside and rushed into the packhouse. She vaguely heard Daran’s


    voice calling her room from behind, but she didn’t have time to stop


    for him.


    J dashed across the hallway, up the staircase, and headed directly toward the Alpha’s suite,


    ignoring the puzzled nces of soldiers and maids.


    A group of people were gathered by the door of Alpha’s suite when J arrived. There were doctors,


    and maids carrying trays of food and beverages.


    “Gamma J!” some gasped upon seeing her, “You are back!”


    J walked up to them, slightly out of breath, “What is going on?”


    “We tried knocking, but the Alpha…he won’t let us in.”


    “He refuses any treatments,” the doctor sighed.


    “And he hasn’t eaten in 3 days.”


    J clenched her teeth.


    She had never seen Casper behave like this before.


    Her brother was very mature. Locking himself in his own bedroom and refusing to talk to anyone didn’t


    seem like him.


    The maid bit her lips and said, “We were just talking about if we should unlock the door with the key but


    Alpha probably won’t be happy…What are you doing, Gamma J?”


    She gasped seeing J reeled back a few steps.


    “Back down.”


    J said coldly, her eyes fixing on the door.


    Then she dashed forward, jumped up in the air, and kicked on the door with one leg!


    The lock snapped.


    The entire door panel crushed to the floor with a loud bang, followed by shocked gasps from the maids


    and doctors.


    “But But the Alpha clearly said no interruption…” the maid stuttered.


    “Well, he can me his misbehaved sisterter.”


    J dusted her clothes and took over the food, “Thank you. Let me have a moment with my brother.”


    She stepped into Casper’s room alone.


    The first thing that she noticed was the heavy scent of alcohol hanging thick in the


    air.


    J held her breath in disbelief.


    …He was fucking drunk?!


    The curtains were drawn, shutting out the daylight and casting the space into a suffocating darkness.


    A faint glow from themp was the only light source.


    With the dim light, J saw empty bottles scattered across the floor, booze spilled. The room reeked

    with despair.


    J’s heart sank as she spotted her brother, Casper, lying on the cold floor, cuddling a half–gone


    bottle of vodka.


    He looked fuck up.


    His cheeks were unnaturally red as though he was in a fever. He must have not showered or shaved in


    days, looking more like a homeless than a mighty Alpha.


    “Casper!”


    J snapped as she crossed the room and grabbed Casper by the cor, yanking him up from the


    floor.


    “Wake up!”


    Casper mumbled something vaguely.


    He opened his eyes a bit and looked up. But he couldn’t get his eyes into focus,


    “…J?” he murmured. “Y–You are back?”


    J’s heart was filled with a mix of concern and anguish.


    “Yeah, I am back. I called you a week ago. Remember? What the hell happened? Why are you doing


    this to yourself?” she snapped.


    Casper blinked, looking confused, “A–A week ago? No, it isn’t right…What…What date is today?”


    J gritted.


    She grabbed a ss of juice and poured the whole ss down Casper’s head!


    Casper shivered at the ice–cold juice and snapped his eyes open, “Hey!”


    “Better?” J dumped the empty ss on the floor, “Now tell me what happened.”


    Casper rubbed his face and let out a heavy sigh.


    He was perked up a bit but still looked very exhausted with his messy hair and bloodshot eyes.


    “I am sorry. I should be at the front gate to wee you back.” he said hoarsely,


    “But there is a wee home partyter. I promise I will be there-”


    J couldn’t hear his nonsense anymore.


    She raised her hand and-


    SLAP!


    A red p mark appeared on Casper’s cheek.


    “WHAT THE FUCK!!!” Casper snarled after a brief moment of daze.


    “We are not leaving this room until you tell me what happened.”


    J looked down at him coldly, “…Does it have something to do with Balvina?” Balvina wasn’t at the


    front door to wee her back


    She sensed something was wrong.


    Casper’s reaction told her that she made the correct guess. He buried his face into his palms and let


    out a light sob, “…She is gone…”


    “Gone?” J rounded her eyes, “What do you mean gone? Did she leave? Or abducted by anyone?”


    “I fucking don’t know!”


    Casper growled, pulling his own hair in frustration, “I don’t know! Fuck…We were having dinner one


    night as usual and we even kissed each other goodnight before heading back to our own room…but


    the next morning, she just vanished from her


    own room!


    “Any luggage?”


    Casper shook his head, “She didn’t take anything. It looked as though she went out for a walk and just


    never came back…”


    J wanted to give her dickhead brother another hard p across his face:


    “So your big solution is to get yourself drunk?! You should be out there searching for her! What if she is


    in danger right now? And you won’t be able to save her because you are fucking wasted!”


    “I have searched for her!!” Casper roared, “I turned the entire city upside down but NO! No sign of her


    at all! I went into the mountain but still… Maybe she grew tired of me, J. Maybe she wanted to


    leave…”


    J shoved him to the floor and turned striding towards the door.


    More people were gathered by the end of the hallway. Maids, doctors, soldiers, Eden…Even Daran and


    Westin were here.


    “Gamma J!” the doctor rushed forward seeing Je out, “Does Alpha need any medical


    treatment-


    “He fucking looks fine to me,” J said icily.


    “What happened?” Daran asked with a frown.


    J let out a frustrated sigh, “Casper got himself hammered because Balvina was gone. I am just


    worried about her safety right now…”


    “Hold on. Who is Balvina?” Westin chimed in. “She is your brother’s mate?”


    Daran darted him an impatient re, “Hold your questions. This isn’t a press conference.”


    “I just want to help,” Westin shrugged.


    “Go.” Daran nodded, “We will be fine.”


    The two of them watched J go down the hallway and disappear around the


    corner.


    “Alpha Daran,” Westin spoke up abruptly. “We should help J find this friend of hers. And let’s make


    it into a race. See who finds her first.”


    “Well about that…We will see.‘


    Westin smiled defiantly at Daran and left the hallway.


    Daran let out a sneer internally.


    He stopped a maid in the hallway and asked her where Balvina’s room was and headed to her room.


    Balvina’s room looked perfectly normal.


    Everything remained right where it belonged.


    Clothes still in the closet, a half–read book on the tea table, and some opened snacks. on the


    nightstand.


    Whatever the reason she was gone…it didn’t look nned.


    Daran walked around the room. In the end, he got on his knees and looked


    underneath the bed.


    That was where he found something unnatural.


    A prescription bottle.


    He grabbed the bottle and studied the description written on it.


    His eyes darkened.
