It had been almost three weeks since I last heard from Adrian. He could be dead and I wouldn't know.  I felt as though he was dead. I heard nothing from or of him. I couldn't feel the bond. Its as if it was breached. I have been feeling distressed, aggravated, flustered and uncomfortable. This was the bond yearning for physical contact but guess what, there was no Adrian. 

I fought with my mind, hoping she would forget him and not miss him - we should've expected something like this - but she refused. She and I missed him dearly. When I see him again, I will hurt him so bad.

"Alpha?" Katy said. I so had forgotten about her these past few weeks of being alpha.

"Yes?" I replied sternly, I wished to not let my emotions for Adrian flow into my packly duties. 

"How are you? You seem dull" She said. She looked me over once more before sitting in my office. "Is it because of the big guy?" She asked curiously. I flinched a bit knowing she was speaking of my mate.

Yes "No" I said to her. "Why would you think so?" I asked her incredulously. 

"I saw you two kissing in the woods a couple weeks ago." She said. I mentally cringed. This was not good.

"Are you sure Katy? Because I simply can't recall." I said in a dismissive tone. She looked at me, more like stared into my future before shaking her head.

"Well I got news that he may or may not be outside" She said. I looked at her quickly.

"Who told you that?" I said. She shrugged while looking at her nails.

"I simply can't recall Alpha." She said then walked out. Is this how I am? If yes, I'm sorry for all who has to deal with me honestly. 

I stepped out of my office and walked down the hallway. I passed Xavier lounging on the chair on his phone. I rolled my eyes and stepped out the main entrance, and there he was, talking to Zach. Both of them were in full black standing next to a black bimmer. 

"Hey sexy" he said approaching me with a broad smile. I looked at him hard. My face was void of  emotions and I was giving him a death stare. He seemed to have forgotten that before I am his mate, I am the Alpha of a very determined and lethal pack. I don't take disrespect lightly and I hate to be treated as if I'm not important.

Funnily, I was not even angry. In some way, I was expecting him to fall through and mess up. Growing up the way I did, those were things you prepared for, that way you don't break that easily. He didn't mess up in terms of Alpha relations, he messed up mate wise. And this wasn't business where a contract could be terminated or worse, war could be raged. This was an emotional battle, that I was not and hoped not, to be ready for. Where, we couldn't simply be done with each other, or we could but that would not have profited none of us. I hated being in this precarious position. And the worst part of all this is I don't know how to deal with it, or fix it.
