Chapter 218: I was chosen for itCasaio entered Zilia’s room, but he didn’t find her there. Then, he went to the kitchen, but she wasn’t there either. There was a presence of soft scent in the house, but it wasn’t strong. "Where did she go?" Casaio murmured and called her. However, Zilia’s phone was unreachable. He strode towards the elevator and walked inside. He kept calling Zilia, but it wasn’t connecting. ’I severed the bond with her. How am I supposed to find her? What if something happens to Zilia? How am I going to live?’ Many thoughts raced in his mind at once, which were haunting and scary. As he stepped out of the elevator, he dashed out of the main entrance of the tall building. ’Zilia can’t die. She has to live... For me... For her brother,’ Casaio thought, realizing how strong his feelings were even after so much conspired between them. Like a fool, he ran through the streets, not even thinking of taking a vehicle to the supermarket. His only focus was Zilia. Though his speed was faster, many people did notice him and a few even clicked his pictures. ~~~~~ Meanwhile, Zilia asked the store owner to stop at a certain point in the CCTV footage. She had spotted the bald man exiting the supermarket shortly after she left with Casaio. "Ma’am, there’s nothing more after this. The outside CCTVs haven’t been working since yesterday," the owner informed her. Zilia nodded in understanding and thanked him for his help. When she checked her phone, she realized she had accidentally left it on airplane mode. She quickly captured a few photos of the suspicious man and switched off the airplane mode. Messages popped up on the screen of her phone, seeing many calls from Casaio. "Thank you. I’ll take my leave now," Zilia said and walked out of the server room. As she passed through the glass doors, her eyes spotted Casaio. He, too, halted seeing her. Before she could reach him, he was in front of her. The next second, he pulled Zilia into his warm embrace, making her heart skip a beat. Her wolf stirred inside her and she curled up her fingers tightly. The people around them started gossiping, capturing their pictures while smiling and saying, ’How cute they look.’ "People are watching," Zilia whispered, gently pushing him away. Casaio realized what he just did and took a step back, feeling like a fool. Then, holding his hand, she walked ahead with h to the car in which she had come. He let go of her hand and got into the car. Zilia settled in the driver’s seat and tilted her head. "What was that?" "Why was your phone unreachable?" asked Casaio. "It accidentally went into the airplane mode," replied Zilia. "But why did you act oddly? Why are here again?" "Who told you to go outside the apartment without informing me?" Casaio’s voice raised at her. "I’ve done it many times," Zilia replied. "Shouldn’t you be in the palace now?" she frowned. "Let’s go back. I’ve something important to talk to you," Casaio said. Zilia put on the seatbelt and drove the car to her apartment. Once arrived there, Zilia removed the coat and sat on the sofa. "Idris told me about the Alpha of Blood Dominion Pack," Casaio revealed. "What? He knows about him!? How?" asked Zilia with a shocking gaze. Casaio sat across from her. "You mentioned about encountering a strange man in the supermarket. I thought it was him," he murmured. "That’s why I was bit a worried. Not for you, but I felt I would not be able to reach him," he remarked, not wanting her to get the wrong idea. Zilia smiled, but didn’t let him see it. "How did Idris meet the Alpha?" "That bastard chose to meet your brother. Idris told me about his description. He is bald with a strange snake tattoo curled up his arm," Casaio said. "What? That’s the same person I encountered that day," Zilia stated. She quickly opened her phone’s gallery and stood up. Forwarding her phone to him, she showed him the pictures from the CCTV she had clicked. "Here. I told you that strange man looked suspicious," Zilia said. "He’s in the capital." Casaio stopped blinking and quickly took out his phone. He called his beta to give Estelle some important instructions. "Listen carefully," he began while Zilia went to the kitchen to bring water. She returned with a glass of water on a tray and put it on the table. As Casaio ended the call, she handed him the glass. "You should take help your brothers too. And informe your father as well," Zilia advised. "The sooner the enemy Alpha is caught, the better it will be," she added. "I don’t want to involve my brothers. I can handle this alone. Since the beginning it was my problem," Casaio stated. "Because I targeted you, is that why you think solely you’re responsible for it?" she inquired. "Yes. I believed our mate bond and brought you not into my life, but also into my family’s. You’re a spy, Zilia. You say you would’ve betrayed me by marrying me. But didn’t you broke my heart after securing the mark from me? I still can’t believe I loved you for ten years and..." He paused, noticing the tears in her eyes. Zilia lowered her head. "But I never lied to you about many things. I became an orphan when Idris was two years old. He and I have to live alone in the harsh world. I never chose to be spy, but I was chosen for it. You think it was easy for me all this time," she murmured, her voice turning heavy. Then, lifting her gaze, Zilia continued, "I know my crimes can’t be forgiven. After we catch this guy, you are free to punish me. That’s the only way we can get rid of each other. It was strange that the Moon Goddess choose us for each other. I hope it had never happened."
