Chapter 223: SOMEONE IS BEING COMPROMISED

"No way..." Seara was immediately on alert as she sprang to her feet, trying to locate how far this dreadful feeling was. Her heart was beating so fast.

Did the devil manage to slip into their defense?

Seara glanced at the spot where Sybill was, but she had disappeared. Her disappearance or sudden appearance didn’t bother her anymore at this point, but she had to find out whose body the devil was using right now.

Seara’s stomach churned at the thought that, whoever that person was, they would be gone. They had gone. They would never get them back.

And the images of the people who had been close to her in the past few weeks here flew through her mind. Seara didn’t know what she would do if the devil turned out to be Jeremy, Leigh, Lidya, Kayden, or Jared... The devil could take anyone’s body, and there was no way to get them back, leaving them with no other choice but to kill them.

Whether it was the doctor, Susan, or Richie, Seara could not bear to imagine the heartache she would have to endure if she witnessed them be killed because they could not keep them around.

Slowly, Seara opened the door and looked at the long corridor, which was rather eerie at night. The childcare unit was across from Seara’s bedroom. However, the dreadful feeling didn’t come from there. This meant that the devil was not in the children’s unit—it was a relief.

However, it didn’t mean everything was well and fine; she still had to figure out where this feeling was coming from.

Seara looked for Lidya or Leigh, but they were not there. Inside the children’s unit, there were only Susan and Richie.

"They are in the pantry. I think they are cooking something for dinner. They say they are still hungry."

It was raining outside, and from the window, Seara could see the lightning that struck the night sky. She then went to the pantry, where she only met with Lidya.

"Where is Leigh?" Seara asked in a panicked voice. She tried to keep it down, but it was difficult to do so when all of your nerves sent you an alarming signal that there was danger around them. "Where are Kayden and Jared?"

Lidya was on alert when she saw the look on Seara’s face. "She is checking on a warrior on the fourth floor. Kayden and Jared are patrolling around the hospital. Why? Something is wrong?"

"Yes, something is completely wrong. Can you mind-link them all and call them to come here right away?" Seara asked with urgency; she kept wringing her fingers because her palms were clammy. She felt her heart beating so fast.

The devil was here. The devil was here.

"Okay."

Lidya didn’t ask further, as she did what she was told to do, and only after that did she ask for Seara’s clarification about what was actually going on.

"I feel them. I feel the devil," Seara blurted out. They shouldn’t know about her ability, but she couldn’t hold it back anymore, as she didn’t know how to explain the dreadful feeling and the danger that lurked around them without explaining what she could do.

"You could do what?" Lidya widened her eyes in surprise; she thought she misheard it. "You can do that?" And then the gears started turning in her head. "That’s why you have been insisting on being in the meeting with King Asher all this time to ensure the alphas are not corrupted?"

Seara admitted to that, but she needed Lidya to do something else. "I need you to go to Royal Beta Dmitri and tell him what happened here. Tell him there is someone who is being compromised."

"It is not safe to leave you alone here."

Seara shook her head. "I have to stay, so I will know where this person is. Whoever the person is, they are staying in one place and have not yet moved. They are still in the building, so I have to stay and monitor their movements. I promise I will not be reckless."

Lidya was a little bit hesitant; she mind-linked her twin and the other two warriors, and they were only a few minutes away as they hastened their speed.

"Okay. I will go. They will be here in less than a minute."

"Go from the south exit." Seara felt this feeling from the opposite direction, and she didn’t want anything bad to happen to Lidya.

Seara waited anxiously for them to come, and when the three of them were here, and she confirmed none of them were compromised, she breathed in relief.

And without waiting for long, she told them the same thing she had told Lidya. At this point, Seara didn’t see why she had to hide it from them. They were the closest people to her, and it would be even more complicated if she were freaking out with no reason at all.

She didn’t want them to see her as a crazy person. Apparently, the way those alphas saw her all this time and how they thought she was unstable had been affecting her more than Seara wanted to admit.

Subconsciously, she kept trying to be in complete control so she wouldn’t appear crazy.

"Do you know where this person is?"

"I think this person is around on the second floor," Seara replied to Kayden’s question, but her expression changed drastically when she sensed it. "This person is moving."

Seara looked to her right side, where there was a stair that led to this floor. The elevator was not working after the last attack.

"Are they coming in this direction?" Jared put himself in front of Seara; he was ready to fight, and so was Kayden.

Based on how she felt, there was only one person. With both Kayden and Jared here, that person wouldn’t be a problem.

And they heard the footsteps. Seara couldn’t smell their scent, but the shifters were able to do it before they showed themselves.
