Chapter 0150
Elliot's POV
"Alpha, how could this happen?" One of the nurses sobbed. "They were fine one minute and now they won't wake up!"
I had peeked into a couple of the rooms. When I got here, as stated, most of the injured were screaming in pain. Then, it all just stopped. They passed out. Their skin was badly burned as if they were lit on fire and their heartbeats were weak. The doctors were in the process of checking them over and seeing who could be saved. "Was it poison?" Luca asked as he examined one of the victims.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"They are running tests as we speak so hopefully, we will find out soon enough," Leo stated, shaking his head. He was pale and it was clear that he was stressing out about this just as we all were. None of us liked to see our packmates suffering in such a way and not being able to do anything about it.
My main focus though was on Silver and the fact that her scent was lingering, but it was growing distant, which meant she hadn't been here in a while. My stomach was knotted at the thought of anything happening to the woman I had fallen in love with. Emma was crying in the hospital room when I entered but she straightened when she saw me standing in front of her.
"Alpha..." she sniffled, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. "Did you find Silver?"
"Not yet, but I'm going to," I assured her firmly. "Are you sure you didn't see anything more? You have no idea where they could have taken her?"
She shook her head as more tears filled her eyes.
"I just remember one of them saying not to hurt her because their boss would want her untouched," she whimpered.
That was weird. Why would they take her and not want to hurt her? Why would they take her at all? My only thought was they were taking her to get to me.
Then, another memory surfaced in my mind.
"You said they gave you a pill and Silver stopped you from taking it?"
She glanced at the nightstand and that's when I saw a small dixie cup. I approached it cautiously as if it were some kind of bomb that might go off at any moment. Inside the dixie cup were too small blue pills. I narrowed my eyes at it as I lifted the cup off the table and closer into view.
I sniffed it, but it didn't smell unusual.
Without another word I left the room only to find Leo and Luca standing in the hallway, waiting.
"Get this tested," I said, handing the dixie cup to Leo.
Leo looked into the cup and narrowed his eyes. He nodded and left without another word.
"Do you think whatever was in that cup is the reason for all of this?" Luca asked, waving his hands around at all the rooms that were being cleared out by doctors and nurses. They were moving patients into a different part of the hospital while they figured out what the hell happened to them.
I nodded.
"Yeah, I do. Silver somehow knew that the pills weren't good and stopped Emma from taking them," I told him.
Luca nodded thoughtfully.
"Smart woman," he murmured.
My chest filled with pride, but I was too worried about her to show it on my face.
"Yes, she is," I said. "I need to find her, Luca. If anything happens to her..."
"We will find her," Luca said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "I have all the gammas out there searching the perimeter as we speak. They couldn't have gotten that far."
I nodded, but I had a nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach.
"Elliot?" I heard my name being called at the end of the hallway.
I turned and I was shocked to see

shoulders with the hood on her head, almost like she was worried she might be recognized.
"What are you doing here, Char?" I asked, sounding more aggravated than I meant. I run my fingers through my hair. "It's not really a good time."
I didn't even know she was in town, let alone my pack.
She swallowed.
"I had a prophecy and I needed to come and see you," she told me, lowering her gaze as tears filled her eyes. Charlotte wasn't one to show weakness, so I knew whatever she saw was really bad.
I took hold of her hand and pulled her over to the chairs on the far side of the hall, sitting her down.
"I'll go check on my gammas and see their progress," Luca said, pointing behind him. I nodded my thanks, and he took off without another word. I turned back to my sister who looked on the verge of tears. "Charlotte, what's going on? What happened?"
"You probably didn't know this
because you were young..." she whispered. "But a long time ago, I had a prophecy about a child being born on the full moon at midnight This child was supposed to hold terrifying powers and cause world destruction. I saw everyone turning on one another because this child did something to them to make them all enemies. It was awful..."
