Or so how I think it should be.
Jacob is too uptight. Too possessive. It’s choking his mate in the neck and it’s toxic, I can tell. Any time soon and he might lose his mate.
I’m too attached with Jacob and I treat him like family so the last thing I’d like to see is for him to be wrecked and ruined by his own faults and flaws.
Seth looked at Jacob then to me then to Jacob again.
I sighed silently when he took a step backward and I knew he’s being intimidated by Jacob’s shaking figure.
I pat Jacob’s shoulder hard then rested my palm where I sting it.
“Jake.” I warned him and then looked at Seth who I’m not sure what hell took his tongue away. I gave him the look.
The open-your-motherfu*cking-mouth-or-I-will-kill-you look.
Seth gulped two times and stood straight after a couple of steps backwards.
“No. No.” he repeats like he snapped out of it. “I’m not watching them. His mate is a tiger, I wouldn’t dare.” he said, mostly talking to me.
I chuckled and looked at Jacob who’s now smirking. He stopped shaking and his expression turned cocky. Confident of his mate.
“We are their mates. It’s okay if we go see-”
“I would not prefer for you to see my mate naked, would you?” I cut his words and he looked at me, slowly realizing what I meant. He then cleared his throat and looked away.
“I guess we should wait.”
“Or lets go back to the ances-”
“ASHIRA! OH MY GOD! ASH!!!!”
I turned my heels when I hear Lucianna’s voice. Its too far. Too far from here.
And I’m fu*cking sure they are not on my spot grounds.
“Shit.” A murmur from Seth and he looked at me, paling. I growled. “Thats-”
I did not let him finish his words. I run North, to where I heard the voice.
Fuck me if something goes wrong with Ashira. Fuck me.
Aiden’s POV
“Aiden! Oh my God!”
I watched my mate’s friend walked right to me, panicking and hysterical as she grabbed a fistful of her hair. Her eyes dilated, her lips trembling and I hate how my chest heavied and ache and fu*ck! Something bad did happen!
This is the fu*cking first time that I felt this way. I can’t find my breath, I can’t focus my mind, I can’t think straight, and I don’t know what to do or what the fu*ck is happening.
For a moment, I was immobile… stunned. And my fu*cking head is barely holding itself. Was this the mate bond? Is she gone?
No! Fuck no!
I can feel that she’s still alive! She has to!
“Where is she?” my voice growled and low. I can’t think straight. I can’t sense her around and that gave me the urge to punch anyone or shift and bite off heads. Fuck. Where the fu*ck is she? “Tell me!”
“I don’t know! My God! We were just running and I overrun her then I thought she’s just behind but she was gone! I’m… I…”
She can’t finish her sentence like her tongue was cut, which fu*cking frustrate the hell out of me more. She stroked her hands on her face, trembling. I can tell she’s telling the truth but I can’t gather any information with her hysteria state and that makes me desperate more!
Damn it! I need to know what the fu*ck happened!
Did she run away? But why? I tried making things lighter even after knowing what she is! Is she still scared that I might do something to her so she run away?
Or did someone took her?
Suddenly, I shiver from the thought.
It can’t be. Who in their right mind would want to mess with me? No one!
“What happened?” it was Jacob who went after me.
I run fast, even faster than I ever did so reached here first. I can sense Seth running behind us, coming closer. I did not bother answering Jacob. I knew his mate can explain everything to him since it’s dawning to me what stunt she’s trying to pull.
Jacob went to her mate and looked at me with caution, then Seth finally arrived, stopping at my side.
Again, my Gamma fu*cking kept something from me. If something bad happens to Ashira, I’m not sure I can stop myself from blaming him.
I don’t have time to chat with them. My wolf is howling inside like he can be heard. He is trying to reach Ashira! And I fu*cking want to howl right now, too!
“Which way did she go?” I asked, trying to be calm but I can feel myself shaking. Fuck I haven’t felt any fear all my fu*cking life and yet the thought of losing her is making me shrink.
“W-We’re running North… To the border. I-I reached first b-but she-”
“Why the fu*ck were you going that way?!” I didn’t mean to startle her but my voice was loud and like thunder. I can’t control it. I’m furious and wary is eating me whole. I’m a thread away from losing my patience with this shaking kitten friend of Ash.
Going to the border?! What the fu*ck? I know Ashira have no reason to be anywhere near any exit. We are good. We didn’t quarrel, we made up. Considering her state, she wouldn’t dare step out of my land but why the fu*ck!
I narrowed my eyes on Lucianna.
The friend.
Of course.
The friend who hates her childish mate is the one who wanted to run. To escape. And my queen is the one missing now!
For fu*ck’s sake!
My growl was directed to her and I did it on purpose. I’m angered, annoyed but definitely not confused. I knew Lucianna is the root of this!
She tugged on Jacob’s shirt when I lowly growled to her. Like she can be saved by anyone once I lose it.
My eyes went to Jacob, anger and superiority over him washed through me. He better leash his little kitten or else I would.
“I know.” he said, clenching his jaw as he understand my thoughts. Mine clenches more. Yes, pup. Your mate is in deep trouble.
It’s either Jacob will handle it or I will.
