"so you have a meeting tomorrow at 8 with general Kane about... well training shit. Oh and also..."
"Do we have to do this now? God Blake, your much harder to ignore than I thought," I said rolling my eyes.
"Alright! Alright! Kayden I'll just ruin your morning tomorrow after... you know," he said with a sleek smirk which I badly wanted to smack off his face. I unconsciously started smiling at the thought of my mate Susan. I cannot wait to just get home and...
"Duuude ! You know the mindlink is on right?"he said waving his arms around. I love my beta but he is the exact description of hyperbole. Immediately I got home, I felt a wave of panic , anger, sadness and despair. I knew immediately those weren't mine. I rushed in only to find my wife at the throne room hysterically screaming orders at the guards. "I don't care! FIND HIM! That is if you like your heads attached to your bodies." Some of the guards scrambled out while the higher ranked warriors remained for questioning. Her grey eyes landed on my green ones and before I knew it she was in my arms sobbing uncontrollably.
"Kay-den he's gone! I can't find Eli, he was getting ready to meet you and then he just disappeared. I am so so sorry," I could almost taste my own bile. My only son and heir to the throne, missing? I kissed my Susie's forehead and pulled away from her." Alright listen, I want every high ranking guard patrolling the boarders and the rest can search within the territory and only the ELITE may venture past the boarder but until my son and your future king is found no one sleeps no one rests until he is found without even a blister in his thumb, understood?" I said in my alpha tone. "Yes Alpha!" They said in unison as they dispersed.
I turned to my mate worry and regret written all over her face. "It's not your fault, we'll find him," " And if we don't? I'll never forgive myself," her voice broke at the end. Before I could say something she turned and walked away. I wanted nothing more than to run after her and comfort her, to run my hands soothingly up and down her back occasionally kissing her temples while she fiddles with her fingers like they're the most interesting thing but right now she didn't need a mate , she needed a king. I was going through the packs security cameras when Kane mindlinked me " your majesty, we've detected movement in the southwest boarder permission to approach," " Kane," " majesty,"
"Bring my son back,"
"Understood," 20minutes passed and still nothing from Kane. All the anxiety was making me sick. I wanted to be with my mate. My return was not supposed to go like this.
"What the hell is taking so long!"
I find myself screaming in my office. "Your majesty," "what did you find Kane?" "I think you should see for yourself," came his annoying vague reply. And with that he shut the mindlink, leaving me confused and already assuming the worst. I cursed to myself while heading out.
"I'm coming too," came susans velvety voice. I turned only to find her armed to the tooth with all sorts of knives and her personal favorite,a crossbow.
"You know that's not gonna happen," " I said I'm coming,if anything happened to my son and he needs me, I WILL be there." She growled, challenging me to refuse her. "Sue c'mon," "Kayden, you are messing with a wolf who lost her pup , I will go through you if I have to ," I had to admit I didn't hate this side of her considering how uncomfortably tight it made my pants. "Fine, but you stay close to me," she just nodded and walked out the door. We didn't even take off our clothes as we shifted and ran towards the southeast boarder. I honestly thought she couldn't keep up with me being an alpha and all but she kept up with me no sweat, it may be the stress but she may have been faster than me. Damn she was right I was messing with a wolf who lost her pup. We stopped running when we saw Kane. We each went behind a tree and shifted into clothes that we're hidden behind the trees.
"Where is he Kane?"Sue beat me to the question. "Right these way your majesty,? We followed him only to find a heavily pregnant blonde being nursed by our five year old son. One look at my mate and I could tell she was just as astonished as I was. "Eli," she finally broke the awkward silence. He however replied with a growl. She took quick strides towards him and smacked the back of his head. "Yo you disappear the whole day without telling anyone, send the whole kingdom into a frenzy, break my very expensive dishes and you dare growl at me young man?" He ruefully looked down and fumbled with his fingers muttering an'im sorry' under his breath. Yeah right one thing about Eli is that he is always up to trouble and never runs out of cute and cunning tricks to weasel himself out of problems just like his mother. " Mum, we have to help her," he said looking at the pregnant and confused mess lying beside him. " Why,"she looked at her searchingly as if trying to figure out the secrets she's hiding. "We just have to otherwise I'm not leaving without her,please," I was taken aback. The boy had alpha blood in him and not only that, he was royal he naturally never begged not even for juice boxes. I took a look at the strange woman, her face was unreadable and her eyes were full of despair. Whatever her story was my son was now part of it and I was going to find out how even if I have to rip her throat out to do it.
