Property Of Daddy

Return To Him

Edited version now here for anyone that previously read this chapter. I do have a question for everyone regarding updates. If the chapter is in editing mod but may go into some day of the next month, would you prefer for me to just post what I have or wait? I want your opinion and neither bother me. I just don't know how everyone feels about my writing. Anyways, I'll stop boring you with my talking and get on to the story. I hope you enjoy it ^^

Caleb's POV

The day passed too slowly with Aiden at school and Leif out patrolling aimlessly around the neighborhood.

I felt like there was nothing to do nor much that my body could do. I just wanted to be with Dakota. He was off at school; who knows, doing what. I haven't gotten any call from the school yet about Dakota. So that was a bit of a relief. I still wanted to know what he was doing, however. Was it hard having to be this far away from my mate for... six or seven hours, maybe?

My thoughts were broken as a ringing could be heard within the house, the natural ringing tone of a cellphone. The sound had been coming from the kitchen table. Curious of who it was, hoping it was Dakota considering he was supposed to call between each passing period, I grabbed the phone off the table. Looking at the name, it hadn't been from Dakota. It did make me a bit sad but also concerned seeing the name of his school pop up. What did Dakota do this time? I picked up the call as I heard them asking for me; "Hello. Is this Caleb Alexander Indovino, the Guardian of Dakota Tiberius Indovino?"

"Yes, this is him. I-Is everything ok? Is Dakota alright?" My mind had gone straight to making sure Dakota was alright, hoping he wasn't hurt.

"I'm sorry, but I can't give any information on his physical health. This call is because Dakota has no record of attending his P.E and Werewolf courses. There is also no record of him being signed out." I didn't know what to say, hearing the words fall from her mouth. What did she mean!? Dakota is missing!? M-Maybe he's just hiding in a bathroom stall? Whatever it was, I just needed to head to the schoolhouse. Maybe he'd be there when I go pick him up.

"O-Ok. Thank you for letting me know. I'll talk with him when I see him." The phone call between us ended as I grabbed the keys to my car, quickly heading out the door. Getting into my truck, I placed the key into the ignition while turning the car's shift gear to R, backing out of the driveway, and moving it to D once out. It didn't take that long to get to the school, thankfully. Parking in one of the spots, I looked around the parking lot. Hoping to see e him standing out there, he was nowhere to be seen.

This is your fault. Would have disciplined him, there would be no worry of searching for him. I heard a voice say. He was trying to get to me with the state I was in. The grasp of my hands on the steering wheel tightened as I thought of those words said to me.

"N-No... That's not what I want. I don't want him to fear and coward below me. I want his affection and love," I said lightly. It was hard to hear my own words, trembling lightly.

This part of me. It scares me the most. If he were to be free finally, it could destroy everything. I knew that it would happen, needing to keep him locked down. It was the safest way for everyone—Leif, Aiden, and now Dakota. I need to protect them from this side of me.

Slowly calming down, he tried his best to block out the words given to him by his inner wolf. He needed to focus on other things right now. Getting out of the car, I headed to the schoolhouse door and pushed it open. The best place would probably be the front desk, right? Maybe someone has seen where he was at? There was a light scent that was in the air. It didn't take time to tell who it was, bringing a smile to my face. At least he hadn't left too long ago.
