Chapter 279 - I Lost It

CHAPTER 279

~Valerie's POV~

Both Emerald and Isla were staring at me as if I had a glowing curse mark on my face. I blinked slowly, confusion dancing in my gut until their gazes drifted to my neck.

"I said something was missing," Isla muttered, squinting. "But I couldn't pinpoint it until now."

Emerald was quicker. "Your necklace." Her voice was calm, but her eyes sharpened. "The one you always wear. The one that helps suppress your heat."

My hand instinctively massaged my neck. It was just skin.

"I… I lost it," I mumbled, avoiding their eyes.

Isla wasn't buying it. "Lost it or was it stolen?"

I exhaled slowly, then nodded. "Stolen."

Emerald's jaw tensed. "How? From around your neck? I thought you never took it off."

"Yeah, well…" I hesitated, guilt spreading through me like ice water. "I only took it off once. And that was when it disappeared. Whoever took it… they let me know. But I still don't know who."

The girls were quiet for a moment.
