"Grandfather, he's been kidnapped," she said with anxiety etched on her face.
Ed's nervousness turned into fear – fear for Adrianna's safety.
Niiya was the son of the head of the council. If Niiya had been kidnapped, his father would have definitely asked for help from all of his resources, including the people at the council.
Ed had to find him. Or else, Adrianna would be in imnse danger. He asked, "How do you know that he was kidnapped?"
"The police are suspecting that. He went for a jog in the morning and hasn't returned. There are sniffer dogs in the house and around the area," she replied.
"When did this happen?" he asked.
"This morning Grandfather. I had rushed out of the house after Ookashi sent a ssage about Niiya. I am worried about his safety. Moreover, the police are asking to co to the police station and tell about his interaction with ," she said.
"Do they know about you and Niiya?" he prodded.
"There was nothing between and Niiya. He only asked out once when you were not here, and after that, we've pretty much been too busy to hang out. I an, we haven't even started dating properly…
"Grandfather, I am worried that the police will grill … Will they put in jail?" she asked, almost on the verge of tears. "I am so worried about Niiya's safety. He has been such a good friend. I hope he is still safe…" she added.
"When have they asked you to report to the police station?" Ed asked her.
"Today in the afternoon."
"You don't have to go," he said.
"What? But won't they arrest for not going?"
"They can co here to question you. Also, they won't do anything for at least three days," he replied to her innocent question with a smile.
Ed's mind had started racing. He had to find Niiya before the police found him, only because he didn't want Adrianna to get dragged into this situation and let it get out of hand. He wondered if Kuro had played a part in this.
"Let's go to Kuro's place," he said before starting to exit the house.
"I won't go!" she said loudly from behind.
He turned to chide her. "Adrianna, you better shed those sentints if you want to look out for Niiya's safety."
"Do you think Kuro has kidnapped him?" she asked with wide eyes.
"There is a possibility, but I am not sure. Co on, get up!" he replied and went out.
Reluctantly, Adrianna went out, started her motorbike, and together, they went to Kuro's house.
She parked the motorbike outside, but instead of going in, she stood there. As Ed walked inside, he realized that she wasn't coming in. He turned to look at her and gestured for her to follow him inside.
With her head hung low, Adrianna walked inside.
Kayla was sitting in the living room along with her usual friends when they saw the two of them enter the house. She narrowed her eyes at Adrianna and said, "We were happy that you had left. Have you no pride? Why have you co back?"
Adrianna rolled her eyes and ignored her. How pathetic could one get? She thought about it, and followed Ed, who had already gone further inside.
Kuro was sitting and having his lunch, when he saw Ed and Adrianna walking in. He smirked at them and said, "Thanks for coming over. I hope you have changed your decision by now."
Ed sat opposite him. He crossed his hands, placed his elbows on the table, and rested his chin on his hands. He proceeded to say, "Niiya has been kidnapped."
Kuro frowned a little and continued eating his lunch. "So? What can I do?" he said with a shrug.
"Do you know about his whereabouts?" asked Ed without wasting ti in circling around the topic.
"No, I don't," replied Kuro, biting the lamb piece in his hand. "But... now that Adrianna is here, she won't be allowed to go anywhere until she accepts my demand," he added with confidence.
All of a sudden, Adrianna's brothers ca out of their rooms and stood behind her.
"She will not be allowed to step out of this house," he said.
Adrianna was furious. "You know that it will take two minutes to take down these la brothers of mine!"
Ed was angry, but then he realized that perhaps this was a safe haven for Adrianna; the police wouldn't co here. Calmly, he said, "Adrianna can we discuss this situation in private?"
Adrianna was more angry with Ed now than ever before. Because of him, she always had to put up with these situations.
But before she could say anything, Ed turned to Kuro and said, "The police are investigating about Niiya. If the treaty is broken, even if Adrianna doesn't marry the supre alpha, all of us are dood!"
Kuro raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
"Because Niiya is the son of the council head."
