No one responded despite Carla calling out for a long while.
She was very nervous and had every subordinate with her join the search; so, only Lucas remained with her.
Lucas comforted her as he searched. "Carla, don't panic. We'll find her. Everyone in the manor is our people. The child will be fine."
"What am I supposed to tell Daemon if anything happens to the child?" Carla was panicking. "I shouldn't have gone back alone. I should've brought them along with me."
"Don't be like that, Carla. It'll be fine." Lucas' heart ached for Carla. "I'll ask for more help."
He was about to inform his subordinate but soon realized nobody else was there. They probably went searching at other places.
"Carla, I didn't have my phone with me. I'll go call for some help."
Lucas was about to head back and look for more help when he noticed a small accessory on the ground in the bush beside him. He picked it up urgently and examined it. It was a star-shaped hair clip.
He immediately called, "Carla, come over here and see if this belongs to Alpha."
Carla ran over and examined the hair clip. "This is Alpha's hairclip. Where did you find it?"
"Over there." Lucas led Carla over to the place where he found the accessory.
There was a small shoe print beside the bush. It probably belonged to Alpha. There weren't any other shoeprints there besides hers. And there was no abnormality with it.
Carla's anxiety increased. She immediately phoned Freda. "I need you to release Dori."
"Got it." Freda instantly went to arrange.
Sometimes, animals were capable of carrying certain tasks humans couldn't do.
Dori could sniff out Alpha's location by the scent lingering on her clothes.
"It has started raining." Lucas stretched his hand outward to catch the raindrop.
Carla looked up at the dark sky, and soon fat water droplets dripped onto her face.
"Carla, you should find shelter, and I'll continue searching."
Lucas took off his coat and covered Carla with it.
"I can't rest now."
Carla continued staring at the sky. Dori had flown over from the hot spring resort.
Carla whistled. Hearing the sharp sound, Dori immediately flew in her direction. It picked up the accessory in Carla's hand and took off searching for Alpha.
Lucas was baffled by the entire scene. Fearsome screams sounded not far away.
Carla turned in the direction, and Lucas replied, "The screams belong to the maids. They were probably shocked by Dori. It's fine."
"You should head back first."
Carla followed after Dori.
