Crazy Little Thing Called Mate

I sat in my study, conflicted with myself, I was so unsure if I should follow my wife and help comfort her, remind her that she is in fact my wife and has nothing to fear when it comes to my affection and well being for her.

Or, should I follow my instincts to seek my men and find out what they've learned since we last spoke.

I shook my head in frustration as I slunk further into the chair, these past two days have been so easy with Everest I should've known something would end up happening to off set everything.

I was all but ready to go and apologize once more to Everest and show her just how much she genuinely means to me when the study door suddenly opened.

I hopped up thinking it was Everest, instead I was greeted by two of my men.

"State your business." I growled in frustration.

"Alpha, we've captured him."

I didn't have to ask who they were talking about. I wanted to be shocked that they had found and obtained the guy so quick but I knew my men were the best.

"Where is he?"

"He should be here in an hour, two tops sir." Douglas sounded with certainty.

I nodded once, "I will wait for his arrival down in the basement, my wife has turned in for the night so no need to alarm her."

My men nodded their understanding and soon followed me out of the study, as we passed the doors of mine and Everest's connecting bathroom I looked at them but continued on my way. I knew I had to get this over and done with so I can finally move on and give Everest the husband she fully deserves.

I stepped past the help and stopped only once when my I noticed my father's driver walking in through the front door.

"Franklin." I sounded.

"Good evening Alpha Graystone."

"It's a little late to be out, may I ask what pulls you away from your family this evening?" I questioned him.

He gave me a reserved looking smile, "the Alpha Kirkshaw and his two sons had requested a ride to the airport my Lord, my apologizes for the late disturbance to you."

I waved my hand to show him it was no trouble, "why don't you go home and get some rest Franklin, and thank you for always being so dutiful."

He bowed low before turning around and exiting the same way he entered.

I was glad to know my in laws were out of the house, they didn't need to know tensions had arisen between Everest and myself, it'd only put her on edge with worry that things wouldn't work out between us and have her family meddling and pressing her for power plays.

I finally made my way down into the basement and found myself amped. Adrenaline began to fill me at the anticipation of having the fucker who had taken everything away from me.

I didn't know what I'd do upon seeing him, would I try and attack him? Should I have my men put him in a cell for his own safety from me?

I began to pace.

"Alpha Graystone, are you alright?" One of my men asked me.
