The Love Of An Alpha

Chapter 34- Missing

Ethan's POV

My dream was bright colours and beautiful memories everything based around my incredible mate, Zoey. Every image was based around her personality or face, the love of my life and person holding my heart. Then suddenly it changed and darkness filled my dream and it went from peace to fear, dread and pain, it turned into a nightmare. I saw Zoey leaving me and I felt cold, alone and afraid without the light of her love surrounding me. I startled awake sitting up and grabbing my chest trying to bring my heartbeat under control. I looked over to Zoey's side of the bed to find it empty and cold to the touch. The fear felt in the nightmare began to become real as I fought to suppress what would have to be a ridiculous idea. I climbed out of the blankets and made my way down the stairs in search of my mate. As I checked each room and asked every person I came across the dear inside me built into panic, my mate wasn't here.

Where is she?

My wolf and I asked the same question, I could feel her still but she was blocking me out of her head, at least I knew she was alive.

"Where is my mate?" I yelled throughout the house.

Every pack member was woken with my order and quickly made their way down stairs. Marcus stepped forward with a respectful nodded of the head but I could tell he was nervous about the information he had. 

"Alpha. One of your cars is gone and two pack members saw a car that matches the description leaving town early the morning." Marcus informed me.

"And they just let it go!" I yelled angrily.

"They didn't know Alpha." Marcus said respectfully. Where is she going?

"I want every pack member questioned until we find out where she went and why." I ordered. The stress and fear begun to build more and more like the waters of a dam in the rain, any minute now I could burst and take many people with me. I reached out to Zoey through out mate bond trying to find anything that might give me some answers. Though I was pushed out, excluding me from the thoughts I wish I could hear. I knew she was alive at least, whether or not she was safe was a different question. There is no way she could safe outside of the pack land and carrying my mark, she will be a target for people trying to hurt me, rouges. I needed her back and safe. I just got her back!

"Marcus, Jarred." I called as the people begun to disappear follow the orders that was compelled by me. Marcus and Jarred quickly joined me near my office, awaiting their orders.

"I need people to begin putting out alerts to other packs about about Zoey's disappearance. Dont tell people she is my mate, just tell them she is missed by her family and wanted back as soon as possible. I cant have people using her to get to me, because I would give anything to have her back." I stated.

"We complerely understand." Marcus replied.

"We will get her back." Jarred said.

"We better because if I lose her, you might need to find yourself a new Alpha." I concluded. I walked into my office and closed the door behind me, I lent against it trying to control my thought, emotions and my wolf. My wolf wanted his mate back and soon, we felt empty without her near and the thought of her unprotected by herself was driving us both crazy.

I sat down at my desk and rested my head against the cool wood trying to come up with a plan to find her. There was one thing plaguing my thoughts ever second. Why did she run? More importantly... did she want to be found? Was it because of the darkness inside her? She should know that I accept her as she is and because I do the pack will as well. I knew she was scared by we were going to make it through it. Why run?

My thought came to mind, one person who might know why she left the protection of my pack and the safety of her mate for the dangerous world outside. I needed to speak to Henry.

I pulled up outside the gaol cells and quickly made my way down the stairs passing the guards without even stopping. I stood outside Henry's cell staring at the unmoving figure in the dark, dirty cell.

"I was wondering how long it would take you to figure it out." Henry said with a wicked laugh.

"Where is she?" I asked deadly.

"She is gone Alpha, she isn't coming back, not until she can find a cure." Matt said. "It's terrible that there isn't one."

"Then why did she go searching for one?" I asked confused.

"Because I told her that there was one." Henry said. He sat up slowly and the dim light highlighted the smirk on his lips.

"If you dont help me, I will kill you." I threatened. I took a dangerous step towards the bars, making my intentions clear.

"No you wont. Your lovely mate wouldn't agree with you killing her little brother who she has been trying to protect all these years." He said. His voice rang with the innocence that he forced into it.

"You aren't her brother anymore. You are just someone who murdered him and took his place." I clarified.

" Ouch." He said fakely placing his hang over his chest. "Your words hurt me so badly."

"It won't be my words that hurt you in a minute." I threaten deadly.

I was just about to open the cage door a day beat him senseless when I felt a sharp twinge inside me. Like a knife cutting through the deepest part of me. I then suddenly felt cold and lifeless, unable to breath properly. I fell to the ground, my knees hitting hard onto the concrete floor. My pack members quickly ran to my side as their muffled concerns were blocked out my the emptiness that filled me. The only sound that I could hear properly was the wicked laugh of Matt as he knew what had happened.

Zoey had broken the bond between us, she had given up the most precious thing I was able to give her no less then 24hrs later. I don't remember much after that moment except for the darkness and sadness that filled my soul.

Zoey's POV

I felt very alone after taken the pill Molly gave me, I didn't expect to feel like this. I stared out the window of my car and try to wrap my head around the decision I had just decided to make. I hoped it could be undone and prayed that Ethan would want it to be undone, though right now I worried about my safety. Ethan didn't have enough time to explain to me what I would become if I ever choose to leave the a pack but I don't think it will be good. I find a close hotel and careful booked a room and locked myself away from the new scary world that I will be faced with.

Alone. Mateless. Deadly
