บท 22: What if you lose...then what?

"Uncle Seb," Auriana called when the voice became clear, and her mind was clear enough to distinguish his scent along with something else…cookies. She stopped hugging her legs and leaned against the headrest of the bed. "Does Father know that I am here?" Sebastian was her father's beta after all. He might have already told Edgar about it.

"No, I came here alone. Although I told him I will go and search for you too," he said and offered a sheepish grin.

Auriana sighed, relieved that they didn't know.

"Care for some snacks?" Sebastian asked. He walked further in and made sure that the door was locked so that anyone else wouldn't know they were there.

"Thanks," Auriana said and drew closer to the edge of the bed. She picked a cookie and took a bite. "How did you find me?" She asked because she made sure her aura and presence were hidden. Had she not, then Dahlia and Edgar would have found her as well.
