Dimitri’s POV
I woke up to a headache,
It’s evening already the loss of Seth has caused me a lot of pain,
By now our Men will be carrying the wounded at the battlefield,
Even though I am not with them at the battle ground physically, all my senses are with them, I and Louis head to the border to join the guards on patrol immediately after Seth body was laid to rest last night, and when we came back this morning I couldn’t sleep until few hours ago when I dozed off,
I sat up to find Louis sleeping on the couch of my room.
He must have dozed off watching me.
Louis has been my back bone since I was young.
He knows how I react to the loss of my loved ones, and me not able to get a hold of Drey, hence he tend to stay with me to watch over me, like a mother watching over her cub in distress.
But Drey seem to be calm this days, probably because of his new found Mate that is present.
He has been silent since I said those words about Kate.
Even while the pack members are yelling at her, he had not say anything,
I could use the silent to my advantage, but I am beginning to feel lonely,
I felt as though he has left me, a feeling I never wished for,
Hey Drey I said as I open the shower to my banging head,
There is no response still yet,
I came out of the shower to find Louis now awake,
Why are you here, I asked.
You know why I am here, he responded as he sit upright.
Any news, I asked.
Nothing yet, he replied.
Are you okay, he demanded.
Yes I am, I said
How about you, I asked him as I sit at the other end of the couch.
I’m okay, he responded.
I think Drey has left me, I blurted out.
Why did you say that, he asked.
I feel so empty and he isn’t responding to me.
Even last night when the pack members were bashing Kate, he didn’t say a word or give any response, I replied.
Let him be, he is mourning, so let him and he is feeling sorry for his Mate since he couldn’t do anything to help, Louis said.
I think Kate heard what you said yesterday, I could see guilt written all over her face and then again the pack members bashing and also the way Isabelle had snapped at her, Louis added.
What did you think I should do, I asked.
Perhaps you can have a conversation with her, let her know, you never meant what you said yesterday, Louis replied.
Okay I will but not right now, I need to know the status of our Men at the Battle ground, I can’t afford to lose anymore Men, I said.
Did you—
Louis wanted to say something but a knock from the other side of the door makes him stop.
He strode off to the door immediately and opened it,
It’s Melinda, I had instructed her in the to take charge while I and Louis go rest and report any message she receives to me.
She strode in and Louis locked the door behind her.
I came with a good news and bad news, she said as she sits down across on a chair facing me.
So the good news first, she said with waiting for me to chose,
We didn’t lost any warrior from our Pack, she said with a smile.
I huge sense of relief rush over me, the headache became lessen, and I could sense Drey came to life.
Oh wow, finally you are back, I said in my head but no response still.
And the warriors were able to kill a large number of rogues, the figures are not known yet but only a few escape, she concluded.
And the Bad news, I asked.
Zeus escaped with some rogues.
That b*stard, I snapped he is a Coward afterall.
And, Melinda continued.
We lost 6 Men, Sir Rowan, the Lead warrior of Darkhunter pack and 3 men Starweaver pack and 2 men from Darksong pack, Melinda concluded.
I became sad even though they are not my Men, they are strong warriors who fought for their kind till their last Breathe.
I turned to Louis, send a message of my heartfelt condolences to those three packs, I order.
Alright, he said.
We set out tomorrow morning at dawn, I said turning to Melinda.
So prepare 3 strong Men that will go with us.
I want this Battle over as soon as possible.
And you will be here to handle the packs affairs while I am away, I turned to Louis.
Alright then, Louis said.
We should leave you to rest, Louis said as he stood up.
Melinda also stood up and followed Louis closely behind.
Oh I forgot, Melinda said and stopped abruptly,
Causing Louis to also stop and turned back.
We have a little in house problem, Melinda said
And what is that, I demanded.
Luna Kate hasn’t come out of her room since morning, neither did she allow anyone into her room, so apparently she hadn’t eaten since morning, she concluded.
Oh okay she must be grieving as well, I said coldly.
Drey grumble in my head and went silent afterwards.
You could probably check on her on your way out, I said to Louis who was looking at me silently.
I believe you have extra keys to her room, I said.
He responded with a nod and stepped out without saying a word.
Melinda stepped out as well closing the door behind her.
I stood up from the couch and went straight to my bed,
I was relieved with the news I received about my Men, but then the sleep isn’t coming,
I could here the knocks on Kate door, as I toss from end to end lying on my bed and then the door unlocking.
