Withered Love

Distrust ~Drake POV

I can't believe my father is sitting there smirking at us even though he is the one behind the bars. He makes me sick. My poor mate has had to be subjected to this vial man who even mentioned he should have used her as a breeder. What is his problem? Did my grandmother drop him on his head a million times or did my grandfather hold the same beliefs as he did? I have had enough of the stench from down here in the cells and I certainly have had enough of my asshole of a father! I looked at my mother seeing her still hunched over holding her midsection as pain shot through her.

She shouldn't have to suffer more for finally rejecting a male who should never have had her in the first place. I growled low as Ferris swept my mother up into his arms, sending him a nod signaling we were leaving. He turned and followed us out of the cells. As we reached the top step leading outside fresh air slammed into us like an invisible wall. We all gasped in a deep breath of fresh air. Now that this interaction was complete now, we need to head to Ferris's pack where he wants my mother at his side as his Luna. Mind you I have no issue with my mother being his Luna, it is him I am unsure of!

The distrust is there and yes, I know it is just because I know absolutely nothing about him or his pack. He must keep them off the radar or I know I would have heard of him. Over the years I kept my ears open for what was going on with the packs and it has never been mentioned. That is a good sign, right? Well, I sure as hell hope so or I am going to tear him and his pack apart! I will not have my mother hurt in any way especially since she has had to live in hell all these years. 

I escorted our mate towards the waiting vehicles with our luggage for our little excursion. I just hope it goes as planned without any surprises. I know Claire mentioned having a bad feeling and I can't deny I am having the same feeling. My primal is raging within me not trusting this Alpha but how can I deny my mother of her true mate? I know we shall have some warriors with us which makes me feel a touch better but if Ferris tries anything I will bring him down and there will be hell to pay! 

I watched Ferris hold my mother close to his side as he walked to his vehicle as an odd sensation washed over me. I need to speak to my mother outside of Ferris's ear shot so I can go over a few things with her. I walked towards them as I watched his every move and mannerism towards my mother.

"Can I have a word with you mom...alone please?" I requested.

She nodded as I could see Ferris's expression change as if he was not pleased by this. As my mom took my hand we walked away from the vehicles until I knew we were out of earshot of everyone else. I wanted her to have a way for her to signal me if something went wrong.

"Mom, listen I understand he may be your mate and you are falling for him hard. I have a very bad feeling about all of this, and I want you to be careful please. If you run into any problem all you need to do is say 'it's true' to me and I will know something is wrong. I will take you from him in an instant if I know your in danger!" I spoke sternly.

"Drake, honey I know you are protective. I feel strongly for him, but I also understand that you are having a bad feeling. If I use 'its true' I know you will do everything you can to get me out...if you're not able to I understand and just know I love you." She spoke softly.

My heart clenched at her words; did she have a bad feeling about all of this as well?

"Mom, do you have a bad feeling about all of this as well?" I asked curiously.

"There is always that touch of doubt and fear when it comes to things you have never experienced before. I don't know what I am about to walk into honestly Drake and that in itself has me concerned." She replied.

I hate my mother having any fear especially if she is having this in regard to her true mate. I will skin him alive if he hurts my mother! I growled low. My tolerance of this situation began to wain not wanting to take any risks with my mothers' safety. 

As we walked back towards the vehicles, I noticed Kade holding tightly onto Claire as I suddenly noticed the rage filled face of Ferris. Does he think giving me this look will benefit him in any shape or form...it makes me more suspicious of his motivation for wanting my mother within his grasp and of his pack. She released my hand as she walked towards him as his expression began to soften a touch as he snaked his arm around her once more pulling her flush against him. He nuzzled his face into her hair. Was he saying something to her I wonder?

We loaded up into the vehicles as Claire sat between Kade and I, her scent filling the confines of the vehicle. Her sweet scent enticing me to want to devour every inch of her as I could see it was also having the same effect on Kade. She rested a hand on each of our legs as she grinned widely as she looked between us as a low growl began to come from us both in longing for our mate's touch.

As the vehicle began moving my longing to feel myself buried deep within my mate as her cries of passion filled my ears increased exponentially. I need her so badly, I don't know how to describe the unrelenting pull of desire which fills me when it comes to her. I know it may sound ridiculous but the bond between us has grown so much I can't stand being away from her for long. Her scent is needed for me to even keep in control of my actions. If it was not there the thoughts of what may happen are frightening to say the least. I would lose all control as my primal side would take full control in search of our mate. 

I would hunt her down to the ends of the earth!Everything would burn if anything ever happened to my love, this I promise!
