Chapter 172: Finding Kate
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When I pushed open the door to my dorm room, I was shocked by the dim light.
The sun was already high in the sky, but the curtains were tightly drawn as if it was still dark. I adjusted to the light, then went to pull the curtains. The curtains swung and kicked up a cloud of dust. I didn’t know how long it had been since they had been pulled open.
Only then did I set my gaze on our bed. The bed board on my side was still empty, and only one blanket was on Kate’s side. It seemed that there was no one on the bed.
Where did Kate go? The unease in my heart grew stronger. I couldn’t contact Kate on my phone. I had thought she would be in the dormitory, but now that she wasn’t here, where else could I find her?
“Hmm...”
I heard a muffled voice from the room. I turned my head and saw the blanket on Kate’s bed move a few times. Then, a ball of golden hair emerged from it. It was Kate.
“Cecily? Why are you here? What time is it?” Kate rubbed her eyes and looked at me suspiciously.
“I wanted to come and see you,” I said.
I looked at Kate. She looked even paler than the last time I saw her.
Kate had lost her vitality. She looked like a wilted plant. She seemed to have become a completely different person.
From the moment I met Kate, she had been in high spirits from the moment she got out of bed. She was interested in everything, and now she was exhausted. Dark circles were under her eyes, and her cheeks had visibly slimmed down. She tried to give me a polite smile, but it made her look even more pathetic.
Her condition reminded me of the time I had first been rejected by Robert when I should have looked worse than Kate did now. I took a deep breath. I had been through this, so I should be able to help Kate out of it.
“I think you haven’t had breakfast yet. I brought you some of my mom’s pancakes. Come and try them.” I tried to be as light-hearted as possible to get Kate to eat. I wanted her to relax. There was no need to burden me with her current state.
“Oh, thank you, Cecily.” Kate grabbed a random clip and clipped her hair. She had never treated her hair so casually before. In the past, she used to brag to me that her hair was as soft as an elf’s, but now it looked like dried straw.
I watched Kate eat two pancakes and said, “Actually, I’m here today because Aunt Carol called me last night.”
“Huh?” Kate looked up, and I saw the nervousness in her eyes.
I sighed. I felt it was a little awkward to tell Kate what Aunt Carol had said. Kate should have called Aunt Carol personally or contacted Alex.
However, in Kate’s current state, I wasn’t sure if she would be able to handle this well. I could only act as the messenger to give Kate a buffer time.
From my point of view, the earlier Kate faced things with Alex, the better because she couldn’t avoid it forever.
Although dealing with it would pressure Kate, once the problem was solved, it would be like defusing a time bomb, and Kate could escape this terrible situation.
“Aunt Carol said that Alex found out about your mate connection and wants you to return to the Ancient Wood Pack within four days,” I said.
Kate stopped chewing for a moment, then picked up another pancake and continued eating as if nothing had happened. She didn’t forget to pour some maple syrup on it. I was shocked by her indifference. I wondered if I didn’t make it clear just now because she didn’t seem surprised.
“Hey...” I hesitated.
“I guessed this when I saw Aunt Carol’s missed call,” Kate said, looking out the window. “Do you feel like someone is watching us?”
I frowned, thinking that Kate wanted to change the topic. “What do you plan to do? Go back to the Ancient Wood Pack and explain it to Alpha Alex? You can’t allow him to come to the school to get you.”
Kate’s eyes flashed with a strange light. “You spoke to him, didn’t you? What did he say on the phone?”
I recalled what Alex had said last night, “He said, ‘I’ll go to your school and look for her myself, and I can’t promise what I’ll do to her. And I’ll visit you and your royal Lycan Prince, too’.”
I saw Kate’s eyes widen, her eyes flashing with surprise, fear, excitement, and her breathing quickened, and I stared nervously at her.
