Chapter 189

My heart dropped down to the floor.

I couldn’t believe my sister would be involved in this, yet there could be no denying it. That was her right

there in their in the video. I certainly hadn’t bought those feathers myself.

“The woman in black…” Julian watched me as he spoke. “He thought she was you. This could explain

how she got through security, especially if she was with Terry.”

“I don’t understand,” I said. I could hear Julian’s words but he sounded so far away. I felt like I was

falling down, deep down into a bottomless well. “Why did it feel like she had my wolf?” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Piper…”

Julian inched his chair closer to mine. He reached out and placed his hand on my shoulder. It was

grounding, dragging me back to the moment. Though I shrugged off his touch. I didn’t want to live in this

moment.

If I gave it too much thought, I could piece it together.

It felt like she had my wolf because she had my wolf. Somehow, for some sick reason, I had lost my

wolf just for her to gain it.

And then she led me purposefully to Terry for him to attack me. What had he said? He wanted the full

set. Was this what he meant? Was my twin sister one of this thralls?

Was this the tie we needed to connect Terry to the underground organization?

And was my sister involved by choice, or had she been caught up in it all again, unable to help herself

escape?

What would I have to do to help save her this time? I didn’t have much to give up anymore.

“Why does she have my wolf?” I felt lost, like I was cast adrift in the ocean with no life raft, no

lighthouse to lead me back to shore.

“I’m sorry, Piper,” Julian said, frowning. He seemed so genuine. I hated it. I wanted him to crack a smile

and tell me this whole thing was just a big, tasteless joke.

But deep down, I knew it wasn’t. I had seen her for myself, after all. Under the feathers and fabrics, the

woman in black had been my sister.

My mind was a sea of questions with no hope for answers. Julian continued to apologize. Eventually he

“I don’t have any answers for you, but I’ll keep looking,” he said.

“If she’s trapped with them again… What could they even want this time? Elva?” My voice shook and my

hands trembled. “I can’t… I’d never let them have her.”

“We don’t know what they want. We don’t know how your sister is involved. Speculating will only upset

you. We need to wait until we have all the facts.”

What he was saying made sense, but it was so difficult to think straight. I felt like my whole world was

falling apart.

“What am I supposed to say to Elva?” I whispered.

“Nothing yet,” Julian said.

I wasn’t sure if that was true. If my twin was in the organization, against her will or not, she might use

our face to earn Elva’s trust. Or to get past the guards.

I jumped to my feet in an instant. “I have to talk to Nicholas.”

Julian leaned back on his chair, looking up at me. “What? Why? Didn’t we agree to keep him in the dark?”

I didn’t have time to explain. I needed to act now.

I hoped Mark wouldn’t be followed by someone wearing my face, but I wasn’t sure. He might not know I had a twin. He might not suspect any danger. And if his guard was down.

I rushed to the sitting room door and threw it open. Then I startled.

Nicholas was standing on the other side of the door.

“Piper, I –” he started to say, but cut himself short when he saw my face. “Piper? Are you okay? What

happened?”

I didn’t know how to answer. In his presence, I felt natural comfort. Tears fell from my eyes, unbidden,

but exactly what I needed.
