My Secret Life (New Edition) Maleah novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444 Wait And See

Deimos

I wake up in the morning to a mighty roar and I rush out of my room without getting dressed. I know that roar belongs to Ammon. It means I have no time to lose, and getting dressed means wasting time. I need to get to the Crown Prince as fast as I can.

It is my job to make sure he is protected at all times, and hearing him roar means something has happened in his room. “Maybe it was the intruder.” Goliath suggests and I link Leander as I run into Ammon’s room. Asha is trying to calm him down but it seems something really pissed him off and I think Alwin might need to order him to calm down.

By the time Leander walks into Ammon’s room, Asha has succeeded in calming him down enough. I ask Asha what happened, but she doesn’t have the answer. “Ammon’s roar woke me up and I have been unable to get

him to tell me what is wrong.” She says, and as I turn towards Leander, I know he is in a foul mood as

well.

“Someone took my necklace.” Ammon growls and for a moment, I am too stunned to say anything. I don’t even know what necklace he is talking about.

“You placed it on the nightstand when we went to bed, could it have fallen to the floor?” Asha asks and I remember the necklace she gave Ammon for his birthday.

He always has it around his neck and I don’t think I have ever seen him without it since he got it. I get down on my knees to see if it fell to the floor. “It’s not on the floor.” I state as I get back on my feet and I hear Ammon growl again.

“Could it have been last night’s intruder?” Leander asks. “Prince Ammon isn’t his only victim. He took the knife Dad gave me as well.”

Damn, this doesn’t sound good. Two males with a formidable reputation are missing personal items, and in Ammon’s case, it means they had to get into his room to take it, which means that we need to go over patrol and the guards around and inside the Palace.

King Alwin tells us to meet in their dining room. I know we will be discussing this until we are all sick and tired of it, but it won’t stop us from going over everything again and again. We eat our breakfast in silence and I go over the events from last night.

It was close to one in the morning when Leander linked me.

By the time I got down the stairs, Leander was waiting inside and once Eryx joined us, we left the Palace through the backdoor. The moment we got outside Goliath pushed forward but he couldn’t explain why to me. He settled down as we approached the guard who saw the Wolf and from what he told us, I knew he wasn’t mistaken; someone crossed our border.

After we got back to the Palace, Goliath was front and center again, but as we climbed the stairs, he s down again and despite talking about it, we haven’t been able to figure out what happened with him last night.

“Something on your mind, Son?” Dad asks me. I tell him about what happened with Goliath, but he doesn’t understand it either.

Once the servants have cleared the table King Alwin asks Leander to tell him about last night. He tells him the same thing he told me and Eryx and when Alwin asks him when his knife went missing, I start laughing my ass off.

Chapter 444 Wall And See

“I had been up for hours and I knew I wouldn’t get much sleep if I turned in for the night, so I told the guards at the border I would take a nap under a tree.

I slept for about three hours when a guard woke me and informed me that they hadn’t seen a trace of the intruder. I talked to a few of the guards on patrol before I headed back to the Palace. I was almost at the Palace when I noticed that my knife was missing and I went back to look for it by the tree, but it wasn’t there.” Leander says.

Eryx asks Leander how it is possible he didn’t wake up when his knife was taken, but other than the fact that he was exhausted, he can’t come up with a reason.

“I could never sneak into your room when we were younger and even now it is impossible for someone to get close to you when you are asleep, you always wake up.” Eryx exclaims and I nod my head in agreement.

Leander is a light sleeper and pulling pranks on him in his sleep is nearly impossible. I have tried for years to pull some pranks on him, but so far he always woke up before I could pull them off and it usually meant I was the one covered in whatever it was had in my hands at the time.

“Sorry for getting off topic.” Axelle says. “But are all the rewards still in place?” She asks and I run from the room to check the other six rewards that were still in place last night. The first place I stop at is where Sundown Pack’s reward was hidden. I can tell as I approach the painting that it is gone.

The next four spots still hold their rewards, and as I step out the backdoor, I see that Amber Moon Pack has also gotten their reward. It looks like it could have been a competitor last night. However, this doesn’t explain the missing necklace and knife and I wonder if any of the Pack–members in the competition would have the balls to pull this off.

“I can name at least one that would have the balls.” I hear Goliath say in my head and I chuckle as I think of the female he is talking about. Yep she would have the balls to pull it off. It would also explain why she took Leander’s knife. She knows it was a gift from his Father and like Ammon’s necklace it would be noticeable immediately.

“Sundown Pack and Amber Moon Pack have their rewards.” I state as I walk back into the dining room and as I sit down I ask the question I already have an answer to out loud, “Who would have the balls to walk into the Palace and take your necklace, Ammon?” I ask and I can almost hear the wheels turning in everyone’s head.

Alwin seems to be the first that realizes what I am hinting at, he is laughing his ass off and I really hope that Goliath is correct with his answer. Once Alwin has calmed down, Axelle asks him what that was all about.

“Okay, let me ask this in another way.” Alwin says and I wonder what other way there might be. He turns to Dixon as he asks, “If this happened on your floor, who would you point the finger at?”

“Easy, if it happened to Eryx, I would point my finger at Leander and vice versa of course.” Dixon answers and I understand where Alwin is going with his question.

“How would you call that, Dixon?” Alwin asks and when he says sibling rivalry, I see Axelle’s eyes widen, just before she starts laughing her ass off.

Asha and Sila have caught on as well and even my Dad knows who we are talking about.

“That is… why…. Slater asked.. if you… wanted the trouble…” Asha manages to say in between laughter and soon we are all laughing our asses off.

“Okay, if she moves here I am locking my door.” Ammon says out of breath.
