The Black Wolf and her Mate

EIGHT

John/Ram's POV

 It's been two years. Two freakin' years and we haven't been able to find her. We know that she's alright thanks to this letter she left us. She left one for everyone here, and another for me. I kept her letter and Adam keeps the other in his office. He's Alpha now, but he's not as strong. He needs his Luna, his mate.

Adam was hell bent on finding her - until we got the letter, that is. Her scent was all over the letter, but somehow, she didn't leave a trail. 

It makes me wonder what happened. One day we were free from the clutches of our father, and then the next she disappears - asking for help, I might add. We spend almost a year searching for her, to no avail - as if she never existed. And then she pops up again - more like her letter pops up again - telling us to stop looking for her. The turn of events nearly gives me whiplash!

Thinking about her again, I sighed, pulling out her letter to me, reading the familiar words for the thousandth time, if not millionth.

Dear John (Ram), my twin brother. 

Please don't show anyone else this letter. Please. This is for you, and you only. I beg you - don't search for me. You won't find anything. I know, I know, this is where you would tell me that you're missing me और वो सभ (and all that), and believe me - so am I, but I can't come to you. Maybe one day, but not anytime soon. Please understand that. समझो कि मैं नहीं आ पाऊंगी (Understand that I will not be able to come). Please. 

Anyways - this was not the point of this letter. What I wanted to tell you was that Vikram is no longer in our lives. He was looking for us, and I made sure he won't do that. He's out, Ram! He's out of our lives for good. I did this for us. No, I didn't do away with him although I badly wanted to and I could've, but I didn't. Needless to say, he won't cross paths with us anytime soon - if not never. 

I love you, Ram! All the way to Mars and back :P

And congratulations on finding your mate! I'm sorry I wasn't there in person to congratulate you, though. 

Love, P. A. 

I sighed, finishing off the letter. Yes, she gave this to me. I'm pretty pissed off that she just disappeared and tells me that Vikram is out. I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset at her. I guess I should make the most of it though. I don't know. 

Upon hearing the door to the bedroom in which I am sitting in opens, I fumble around with the paper, trying to put it away before the see, but damn werewolf speed. The smell of my mate hits me as I see her standing over me with a crossed expression. Needless to say, she's not happy. She's upset I hid something from her. 

"I-I can explain!" I stutter out, afraid of what Emily might do. 

"You better have a good explanation." She replied. 

I sighed. "I'm sorry, but all I can say is that I kept it a secret because Ava told me to. I know there is no excuse. It wasn't right to keep something from you, but I knew that she would have a good reason. Please understand where I'm coming from, baby." I rambled. 

She just sighed, "Okay, apology accepted." I sagged my shoulders in relief only to tense them up again when she added "But! Now that the cat is out of the bag, you're going to have to tell us all." 

"Alright." I grumbled, giving in. 

Adam's POV

It has been two freaking years and we haven't been able to find my mate. I have seen her once, and I already feel like I'm broken without her. Being an Alpha is not easy without your Luna. I haven't even met her and I'm ready to do anything to find her, except I'm not because she told us to stop.
