Chapter 126: 126. Unexpected Shock

Immediately Mason whispered those words into his ears, Bernard’s eyes immediately turned blue, as he was filled with rage.

He managed to get up, as Mason immediately had to step back from him a bit.

"Where are the elders?" With a furious look on his face, Bernard asked.

"I left them with some of our men, to chase after those unknown men... I believe they will be here soon!" Mason replied calmly, as he bowed his face to avoid looking into Bernard’s eyes directly.

Bernard stood up and walked straight to the podium, and as he was about to address everyone present at the park house, he sighted the elders walking into the park house accompanied by his men.

They all had a disappointing look on their faces, and they were more shocked and confused by the state of things they met; with bodies of the Avalon park people lying on the ground in a lifeless state.

"What’s going on here?" The leader of those elders just came into question, as he had a worried and curious look on his face.

"We were attacked by the Avalon park and the attack was led by their Alpha who is also dead now... The big news is Elijah Simons is back and he was even the one who came to our rescue, now I just got the news that Maria and the staff of the office have been kidnapped by unknown men!" Bernard said as he announced all that had happened to everyone to know with a disappointing expression all over his face.

Immediately it was announced to the whole park, they were all thrown into fear and worry and their body language was clear about that.

"Yes, it’s enough for us to be scared of and I will advise that we all depart from the park house now and head to our various homes... I and the elders will all think about what to do, so till when we get a solution; please everyone should stay safe and careful!" Bernard further said to them all in a calm manner, as he also advised on what to do.

Once he finished his statements, everyone managed to pick up whatever belonged to them, as they all departed from the park house and it was Bernard, his parents, the elders and the guards that were left behind at the park house.

"Don’t you think Elijah Simons had all these planned out?" One of the elders asked.

"Hmm... I won’t want us to jump to the conclusion that Avalon park was here and Elijah took them out to rescue us. So nothing is certain yet and I will advise that we all go home now and be safe, while we later meet to find a solution to all that has happened!" Bernard said calmly, as they all obliged his words before they all moved out of the park house quickly and headed for their various destinations.

Mason and some of his men made sure that the park house was closed and locked properly before they all departed the vicinity with Bernard and his parents.

Beta Gilbert and Luna Victoria were still in shock, as they couldn’t believe all that happened back at the park house.

"I must get to the root of this!" Beta Gilbert suddenly screamed out those statements, as he looked very much pissed off.

"Dad, I must say we need to act very wisely here... Elijah Simons, who had been hiding and running away from us, all because he was scared to die; suddenly appeared back with much guts and swagger. We need to know what is sponsoring his confidence!" Bernard said as he warned that they take good caution before acting.

"Hmm... That’s true son, but what could be happening and why did they have to kidnap Maria?" Luna Victoria asked as she sounded worried and confused.

"It’s a clear indication that those that attacked Mason and the elders are people who know us and even down to our rituals and rites... Only someone in the bloodline of an Alpha family can handle the staff of the office, so they need her to carry it wherever they want!" Bernard uttered, as he revealed his thoughts to his parents.

"Oh yes, that’s very true... I am one hundred percent sure that Elijah Simons knows about this, but I am also sure that he’s stronger now. We truly need to be very careful with how we handle him!" Beta Gilbert said as he got a clear picture of things than earlier.

"We will just relax and be calm... I believe nothing will happen to Maria, so we need our calmness to be able to think properly!" Bernard said as he sounded very sure of his words.

The moment they arrived home, everyone went straight to their rooms, as there was nothing to talk about that night.

Maria and the men who had taken her, and the sacred staff of the office, finally arrived at a grand mansion, its towering gates and vast structure intimidating in the golden light of evening.

As the van pulled into the compound, the men stepped out first, then gently ushered Maria out of the vehicle. Their behavior continued to confuse her.

Though they were masked and stern, they treated her with surprising care and respect.

She was led inside the mansion, through richly decorated hallways lined with paintings and antique furnishings. The interior was quiet, yet elegant, giving off the aura of power and secrets.

Maria walked with measured steps, flanked on both sides by the suited men. Her grip on the staff tightened with every footstep.

They arrived at a large, open living room. One of the guards gestured politely toward the couch.

"Please have a seat," he said calmly.

But Maria stood frozen, her expression tense and untrusting. Her eyes darted between the guards, her voice sharp with questions.

"Why have you brought me here? What do you want from me? Is it me you’re after, or is it the staff of the office?" she demanded, her tone firm.

None of the men responded. They remained still and silent, avoiding her eyes. The atmosphere was thick with tension.

Maria’s frustration rose like a tide. Her heart pounded as she considered every possible danger. But before she could say anything else, the man who had led the group stepped forward. He leaned in slightly and whispered gently into her ear.

"Maria, please sit. We need you to be calm. You are not in danger. Someone important is coming to speak with you," he said in a reassuring tone.

His words, though brief, managed to soften her anger. Reluctantly, she walked over to the couch and sat down, clutching the staff close to her chest like a shield.

Minutes passed. Ten long, silent minutes where Maria sat in quiet uncertainty, her eyes flickering between the doorways and the guards who still stood around her. Her patience began to fray.

She was just about to speak—ready to demand answers—when she heard footsteps approaching. Heavy. Confident.

She raised her head slowly, and the moment her eyes landed on the figure entering the room, her entire body froze.

Her breath hitched.

Walking through the entrance with quiet authority was Mr. Frederick, his expression unreadable. But beside him was someone Maria never expected to see—Mrs. Spencer.

Maria’s eyes widened. Her heart nearly stopped. For a moment, she questioned whether she was dreaming.

"Good evening, Maria," Mrs. Spencer greeted with a warm smile as she stepped closer. "How are you doing?"
