It has been such a long night. Everyone has already left out in groups and I truly wanted to go out with them. The only issue is Fredrick and I are the point of contact, so we have to stay here and wait.
The waiting is the worst. Being on edge is nothing compared to how I feel.
Fredrick has tried to get me to lay down and relax, but that was a no go for me. Not even stress sex would work right now.
So instead, I have been in the office and working on the paperwork side of things. Since Fredrick is here, I have been teaching him the ways I process things or if it can be signed to pass or not. Fredrick is a quick learner, I will give him that, since he caught on so well he is currently working on some of the financial side of paperwork, that Andrew sends over for me to sign off on.
I am sifting through more transfer applications, but with everything going on Abbs and I both are leary of letting any new transfers in. I don't want extra people coming to the borderline just for the first meeting if one or more comes with bad intentions. We don't want that to cause even more issues. It is just risks that can't be took currently.
A new cup of coffee is placed in front of me, looking up to see it is from Alastair.
"Just like your parents, yes." Alastair laughs.
"I needed to stay busy." I shrug.
"That was always what they said as well." Alastair laughs a little harder, causing even Fredrick to chuckle.
A sour feeling bubbles up in the pit of my stomach. I take a deep breath, and it lessens but not completely gone.
Pulling up the cup to my lips, I let the sweetness slide down my throat. Happiness is quick to take place of the sour feeling I had for them laughing at me.
Thank you for the drink! I link Melissa immediately knowing this is one of her brews.
"I guess I should thank you for bringing this small piece of heaven to me." I smile over to Alastair.
I go back to working on the emails and I already got several days ahead of the work, especially thanks to Fredrick helping.
"Have you heard anything yet?" Abbs asks, walking into the office.
"No. The trackers have been out for over nine hours. I know that some locations are a small travel, but I haven't heard from any of them.
"So that is a sign that so far they are going through many of the locations." Abbs sits in the chair across from me.
"Yeah, I didn't expect them to held in the closest locations. That is if they are even there." I shake my head.
"They have to be close enough though to the pack, because of them wanting Fredrick and still blaming this pack for the past." Abbs adds.
"If their magic is helping to hide them, could make it harder for us to find them." I run my hands through my hair.
I have spent a good bit of this time not only working, but going over possible scenerios. Along with I have tried numerous times with mind linking all three of them.
I can feel when tingles start up on my shoulders and moves down my back some. Fredrick rubs and adds some pressure, it is relieving some of the tension that has formed. A sigh passes through my lips, closing my eyes I let my head fall forward and lean back into Fredricks hands more.
I had no clue how much I needed this, just the touch of my mate. Maybe I should have went to bed with him, I was completely wrong about this? If we had done any hanky panky then it would be my luck to right before I got release, I would have been linked. As soon as a link comes in I am gone, which means I would still be fustrated. I really don't need any more built up fustrations, not when I need to be focused.
The only good thing is the fact that a good portion of work has gotten done. This is not how the work should be getting done though. I just want and need my members back. It is my job to protect them and in less than a month I have lost three guards to death and now another three is wolf-napped.
A knock on the door brings my attention back up, as Fredrick stops massaging my shoulder and neck. When did Abbs and Alastair leave the room? Oh, my coffee it is cold now.
"Breakfast is ready." Mom smiles.
"Thanks Mom, we are on the way down." I smile back at her, standing up from the chair.
Mom walks back out and I hear as she closes the door to the stairs. Turning to where Fredrick's wrap around me, I lean up and he automatically knows what I want.
The kiss does not seem to last no where near as long as I would have liked, but it was soft and sweet.
"Time to get some food in you. You only ate the once yesterday and refused things all night." Fredrick gives me a look not to argue with him.
"Fine." I huff and make my way down the stairs.
I really don't know how to feel at times with someone other than my parents telling me what I need. A little getty feeling bubbles up in my stomach, I like it in a way but in others I don't. It does make me want to rebel, it is just in my nature with who I am and being Alpha for several years now.
Right before I open the door to the dining room, I catch the sight of a few trackers jogging up to the pack house. I move over and open the door, meeting them before the come up all the way.
"What is the results?" I ask the four groups.
"So far everything in the sections our groups are clean." One of the trackers speaks up.
Dang, now we have to wait on the last two groups.
"Thank you. Please enjoy a nice long shower, food and rest." I tell the groups standing in front of me.
They all nod and head into the pack house.
"We still have two groups out, I just hope we hear something from them soon." I whisper, but Fredrick catches.
"We will find them darling." Fredrick rubs my back and guides me into the dining hall.
Breakfast is a sumber affair, no one talking and everyone seems to be waiting just wanting some sort of news. I have plans already set for when they are found, on how we will storm in and rescue. I need to start coming up with new plans if this search mission fails completely, since so far four groups have came up empty handed.
My pack is working as hard as I am, and maybe I just need to be doing better.
A/N--- Hey Hey Guys!!!
So self doubt from Adira is coming in to play, as she struggles not to be searching herself for the members taken.
Four groups have came up empty! Will the last two groups hold any news?
