"Omar is here," the words replayed in his mind as he descended the stairs.
Without even knowing it, Omar seeped into his heart and made it skip a beat. Nathaniel was lost in thoughts.
Tashi and Amarie arrived in the living room before him. "What happened?" Amarie asked.
"Legacy children have been kidnapped from the school. They were taken last night and no one knows where all nine of them are," Granny filled her in. "The kidnappers have made no demands," she added.
Amarie ambled over to Noam, she seized the moment to hook her arm around his. The same way that Nathaniel had done. Noam tried to brush her hand off but she tightened her grip and flashed a bright smile. Containing her fear inside.
"What do we do, honey?"
The question raised a lot of alarm in the room. It was true that the two of them were getting married. But they were far from lovers. It was mostly Granny forcing Noam's hand in the name of the future of the pack.
