Bab 246: Chapter 237: Search for Amber
Erick was looking out the car window as they drove back home after a not fruitful mission. As before, Dewei was driving the van, whistling happily, seemingly unconcerned about their 'failure' in the mission. One would not say that it was a full failure since they did manage to bring two of the warlocks back alive. With Paccia's spell casted on them, it would be difficult for them to try to commit suicide to escape the interrogation.
The reason as to why Dewei was happy was because when he asked his Alpha whether he could join the interrogation, the Alpha had given his approval, making the former ecstatic. He was already brainstorming in his mind on what tools to use to practice on the warlocks.
Other than the two warlocks and the two shifters, there were also Paccia and Elder Zyair, making it a bit cramped inside the van. The shifters from the other packs were following them from behind in other vehicles.
As for Paxon and Riowins, who were together with the bear shifters, decided to join them at a later time since they decided to explore more of the den and the outside.
On the way back to Burkendall Town, Erick still could not get rid of the feeling that something bad had happened. He could not pinpoint what. He tried to call Hamish, using their mindlink but apparently, the latter was not answering. He did not want to think negatively about it so he let it be.
Besides, he was on his way home so he will find out sooner or later.

"You--!!"
Amber stared wide-eyed at the three men standing at the door. She staggered back in surprise as she tried to distance herself from them.
As she moved further inside the room, the three men walked in. The man at the back, closed the door behind him, making Amber feel wary and more cautious. Here she was, alone with three men, so of course, she was a bit mindful.
The tough looking man with a scar above his right eye, the same man that she saw in Ronan Paccito's room, slapped the man, who had shut the door, at the back of his head. "You fool!" he scolded. "I told you to bring her here, not to kidnap her! Do you think the cops will not hear about this??"
The man looked wronged as he held his head after being slapped. "But Master Silas, you didn't specifically tell us what to do!" he protested. Assuming that Master Silas was most worried about the police interference, he quickly added, "But don't worry! I already hacked into the surveillance cameras nearby! They won't know a single thing about what has happened!"
Ronan rubbed his face in resignation. Sometimes he wondered how someone like him was scouted by Master Silas. It was a good thing that he was good at hacking or the latter would never give him a second chance. Hence, it was thanks to this man that Master Silas was able to get some clues on where to find Erick Kendall.
Master Silas just shook his head in disgust before turning to Amber, who was still watching them warily.
The two of them looked at each other in the eye, both not backing down. Inwardly, Master Silas was slightly impressed at how courageous the woman in front of him was. She truly was worthy of being the Lycan Prince's mate.
"Good day, Ms. Keene," Master Silas politely greeted her. "I'm sorry that my subordinate has taken you away in such a heinous way."
"Subordinate?" Amber repeated. She then looked at Ronan and rudely continued while pointing at the latter, "Is he your subordinate as well?"
Master Silas looked over at Ronan, who was standing next to the other man quietly and back again at Amber. "Yes, he is," he answered.
Amber blinked her eyes in astonishment. She never expected that a man like Ronan was a subordinate to someone like Master Silas. She then studied the man in front of him. Who was he?

It was after midnight when Erick and the groups arrived at Burkendall Town. Because of how important the mission was, they immediately set off for the packhouse's meeting room, instead of the resting area.
Erick was walking together with Bastian and the rest of the shifters who went on the mission with them when he saw Roel coming out of his father's office with a worried look on his face.
He seems like he has a lot of things in his mind that Erick could not help but call out his name in concern.
"Roel!"
Roel immediately looked up, startled by the call. He glanced over and his eyes widened. There was a glimpse of concern and dismay in his eyes.
He quickly walked over to Erick and said hurriedly, "I need to speak to you privately."
Erick suddenly felt his instincts were correct. Something bad must have happened. Was it Amber?
Not wanting to waste anymore time, he looked at Bastian and nodded, indicating that he could go ahead with the others to the meeting room. Bastian nodded back.
Once the other shifters have left, Roel brought Erick to a quiet corner and told him about Amber being missing. He told him about how Jeayan went to his house to find it empty, other than Luka. And then he talked about how they took Luka out and the latter had brought them to a diner where they found Amber's car and belongings.
Roel and Jeayan had questioned the people in the diner, including those who worked there. And according to them, they did remember seeing Amber in the diner but she had left hours ago. And they did not see what had happened because the car was parked at the back of the diner in a bit of a secluded area. Hence, they did not realize that she was missing until Roel and Jeayan came to them.
And although they have surveillance cameras placed around the diner; inside and outside, the strangest thing was that when they looked in the recording, there was nothing of Amber in there. It was as if the recording was damaged.
"Where's Luka?" Erick asked, trying not to panic, looking grim.
"He's with Jeayan right now," Roel said.
"I'm going to take him and we'll go find her right now."
