Chapter 21
"Alexander." I whispered and hugged him as we entered Ozymandius's office.
He looked terrible. I could clearly tell he was crying. His hair was messy, his eyes had black circles and
his face was totally pale.
"Everything is going to be okey." I assured him.
"When did this happen Alexander?" Ozymandius asked and I broke the hug.
"I don't know. It was around three that she told me she was going to get water from the kitchen and so I
was waiting for her but she never came." he said raking a hand through his hair.
"I'm fucking sure Chicago did this, he always wanted to do something that made me vulnerable! "
Ozymandius growled.
"I say I take the best soldiers and wage a war against him. That's enough. Who the fucking hell does
he think he is to take my mate away from me?" Alexander growled.
"No a war is not the solution, he will be expecting us to wage a war so we will have to come up with
another idea." Ozymandius interrupted.
"Brother are you crazy! War is the only option! He has my mate! My wolf is getting weaker and weaker
without her!" Alexander growled and slammed his hand on Ozymandius's table so hard that a vase
broke.
We all stared at him. I knew it was not the the right time to console him and his anger was truly just.
"I miss her, I fucking miss her." he said after a few seconds.
I looked at him to see a tear running down his face. He was broken. I knew he was in love with her
because Zara was truly an angel.
I put my foot forward to hug him, but before I could take a step, Ozymandius had embraced him in a
hug tightly.
"I promise I will bring her back." Ozymandius told him.
I saw Alexander completely melt into the hug and sob loudly on Ozymandius's shoulder.
I left the room to give them privacy.

"Pearl."
"Pearl."
"Pearl." I heard some whispers.
"Who is it?" I stated as I picked up a vase from the nearest table and followed the voice but no reply
came.
"pearl"
"pearl."
"pearl." the whispers got louder and louder until I reached an isolated room on the back of the terrace.
Honestly, I was not familiar with that room. It was dark and bare as I entered. Dust was scattered on
every corner. Sunlight streamed from a very small window on the upper left.
The whispers had now stopped. My eyes stared the room and stopped at the message infront of me.
My eyes stood still as my body started shaking. It was written in pure blood. I rubbed my eyes, hoping it
was a hallucination , but it stood still there.
The blood was fresh, I could tell it because it was dripping on the floor.
Someone was here in this room, waiting for me to read this message.
My body was still shaking in fear as I read the message again and again which said 'Zara in exchange
for Pearl. Meet you on ryzor Street sharp at 8. Don't bring anybody if you want your friend alive.'

I was ready. I had to do this for Zara. She was my friend and had been nothing but nice to me till now. I
had to prove my friendship to her.
And this was all happening because of me. The message gave me a clear understanding that they had
intended to take me but took Zara accidently. She didnt deserve it and neither did I but I had to do this
for her, for our friendship and for Alexander.
He was totally broken. He didn't deserve to face this all because of me. He was my best friend after
Adrian. I knew he loved her and he had done so much for me that it was my duty to do something for
him.
"Let's go." I told Brian as I made my way to the helicopter. I gave the palace a last glance because I
didn't know if I would ever come back here or not.
We had to take the helicopter because Ozymandius kept his car keys with himself so it was impossible
to take the car.
Brian, the personal body guard of Ozymandius and the brother of Zara had helped me with this. I
couldn't tell Ozymandius or Alexander about the message because I didnt wanna give them more
stress and plus they would never let me go.
Brian started the helicopter and we rose up in the sky as I looked down below at the island. The market
was full and people were everywhere, enjoying themselves and I couldn't even think of destroying their
happiness, if a war was to be waged.
"We are there." Brian told me as we got out of the helicopter.
"You stay here, I'll go." I told him as he gave me a small, sad smile.
I stepped on the street and called: "I am here."
'come closer.' the voices whispered.
"First give me Zara." I growled.
'come closer.' the voices whispered again.
"I said first give me Zara!" I growled in a firm tone as I stamped my foot on the road.
And then suddenly I saw Zara running towards me. She came and hugged me. Her eyes were red, her
face pale and her arms were totally bruised.
"Pearl! Are you crazy? You don't have to do this for me!" she whispered.
"For our friendship." I told her.
'now come closer.' I heard the voices again.
What made this confusing was that I could hear the whispers but I saw no one.
"And what if I don't?" I stated.
And then one second later I could see a dozen of the same monsters flying towards me and Zara.
"Quick, I have put a bottle of acid in your pocket, throw it on them!" I screamed to Zara as I did the
same.
The monsters were now at the ground because their wings were wet and they couldn't fly any longer.
They were approaching us.
"What now?" Zara screamed.
"Wait and watch." I told her as I took the matchbox from my pocket, lit the fire and threw the matchstick
towards them.
The fire lit beautifully and me and Zara turned our backs on those disgusting creatures as we walked
towards the helicopter.
"Oh Pearl, you truly our the queen of the warewolf kingdom." Zara stated.
