A Vampires Alpha [BOOK FIVE]

15.

**Felix**

"Maybe it got too serious and he ran for the hills?" I sat on the bleachers next to Foxx who held a volleyball in his hand, spinning it with his brown eyes focused on the object.
"If it got too serious, we would have talked, plus the two of us are marked so running wouldn't have really been an option." I responded, frowning deeply as I looked into the field of players running across the green grass, tossing the football to the appropriate teammate.

"It's been nearly two weeks Felix, you haven't heard from him and his family won't even talk to you. Isn't that a sign that something happened?" Foxx asked me.
I looked to my cousin frowning softly.
"All I know is that Leif's papa was killed, it just doesn't make sense on why he would disappear.." I looked away as Foxx studied me before sighing softly.

"Have you tried talking to his family about it?" He questioned.
I was quick to shake my head.
"I feel like, if I was supposed to know something, they would tell me themselves instead of me barging in there demanding answers." I looked to Foxx who had this annoyed look in his eye.
"If you two are mates now, you are supposed to know things, you are supposed to ask things Felix, if you don't you'll be left in the dark." Foxx stood up as the bell rang to return to study hall, the last period of the day.

"It's been two weeks." Foxx began, shoving his hands into his pockets as he looked down at me.
"Two weeks of no communication, that should have been some sort of flag for you to open your eyes and mind about. We have a shitty ass family, but you and I are like brothers, I'm here for you and you are here for me. I know it's upsetting you, and the only way you'll get those questions off your chest is by confronting your mates family." Foxx told me before walking ahead.

Leaving me there as I sat in silence, the wind blew as my eyes fell onto the woods.
My brows were furrowed.
Where did you go?
And.. why didn't you take me with you?
Your life seemed almost perfect, but the moment Magna died..
You disappeared.
Like you were behind it.

But.
You are not that type of person.
You're compassionate and shy.
There is no murderous bone in that body of yours.
So..
What or who drove you to vanish without even coming to me first?

"Felix! We have to get to class, get off your ass and let's go!"
I turned to Foxx who stood halfway between me and the building, his eyes locked on me as I frowned before getting to my feet.
I didn't want to.
But I walked down the steps and made my way into the building.

Sitting in study hall, my mind was blank.
I couldn't focus on anything but the what if's and the why's.
I wanted to get up and walk out.
But I knew I could hold it together for twenty more minutes.
Even though my eyes kept falling onto him.

Quin.

For the last two weeks, he's looked like he has something to say but is being told to keep quiet about it.
He knew something, and every time I caught him looking in my direction, he would look away fast and pretend like it never happened.

I never thought about confronting him about anything, especially since I've gotten used to being around Asher.
It was hard but it became possibly easy after a few tries.
Especially after Leif vanished.

The moment the bell rang for class to be dismissed, I was jumping to my feet at the same time Quin was.

"Quin." I called out to the omega who paused putting his books in his bag, now that I was closer to him, I could see how tired he really looked.
It was like he wasn't getting any sleep for some reason.
Depression maybe?
Or was it guilt?

"Oh, hey Felix." He greeted me but his eyes looked lifeless as I frowned at him.
"Can we talk? It's about Leif-"
"Sorry, I can't." Quin went to step past me and I don't know what made me do it, but I grabbed his wrist.
"Quin-"
