10 Years... (boyxboy)

Chapter 12

Caleb's POV

I'm about to go on a run to clear my head when Oli calls. Groaning, I answer it.

"What's up?"

"He's got him!" Oli pants.

"Hey, hey, deep breaths. Who's got who?" I ask, even though I think I already know.

"My dad has Jason!"

At those four words, my world came crashing down. I dropped my phone, shifted into my wolf, and ran as fast as my four legs could take me to Jason's pack.

I barge in the door, maybe even breaking it in the process. I shift back into my wolf and immediately collapse onto the couch.

"Oli... what happened?" I ask, my voice barley a whisper.

"The crew will tell us," Oli replies.

I turn and see the group who accompanied Jason to the murderer's house, including Julia, who's hugging her son like her life depends on it. Maybe it does.

"What happened?" I growl.

Liam whimpers, hiding behind Tatia.

"Well, Alpha..." Ralph begins. "We - Tatia, Jason, and I - entered the house. It was dark, and some lights switched on quickly, so we closed our eyes. We didn't even hear him before he knocked us out." Ralph looks at Josh, as if to egg him on.

"So... after that, Jason told me to come in to get Tatia, Ralph, and Julia and he commanded that Liam went back to the pack to get some reinforcements. Liam ran, and I managed to pull all three of them outside. After that, I asked him what to do and he told me to take them back here and to not come back for him."

"We waited for a few hours," Oli continues. "And when there was no sign of him, we returned to the scene of the accident, only to find that Jason had run. We lost his scent about a mile away."

Breathe, Caleb, breathe. 

"Why wasn't I called right away?" I growl, standing up.

"Because we didn't need any of your territorial Alpha bullshit, that's why!" Oli yells.

"Then why the hell did you tell me at all?" I roar, getting up in Oli's face.

"Because I asked him to," Tatia's cool, haughty voice drawls.

"Why did you ask him to?" I say, calmer, because something in her voice is making me sleepy.

"Because I know about you two. Now sleep, you being angry won't get you your mate back." She demands, making me nod agreeably before, once again, collapsing on the couch.

Author's Note: Not the best chapter, I know. I'm not going to edit though, because this whole book needs to be redone and I'm just doing to fix it all at once. I've also written most of this book, which means that I will be updating a lot more frequently. I'll also be transferring all of my handwritten books, drafts, and ideas to Wattpad so I should also have more books on the way. And yes, I will be giving Tatia her own book eventually.

Thanks for reading!
