My Broken Mate (Man x Man)

Chapter 24

Connors P.O.V

"James!" I shout as I frantically search for him.

Sofia and I were in the kitchen chatting and busy making lunch, we decided on making the boys, Leo, and James favorite dishes, well, more like Sofia cooking and me standing by observing and stirring when needed.

We wanted to get our minds off the potential danger lingering while being safe inside, eating, and maybe playing some games.

When the food was done, I called out to James, while Sofia mind linked Leo to take a break from his beta duties and acting as alpha to eat but when I got no response from James I didn't want to panic, but James has always answered me, as he could always hear me, what with his super-hearing but that still didn't stop the worry from tingling in the pit of my stomach.

I went upstairs thinking maybe he was probably taking a nap and that's why he wasn't responding to my calls.

However, upon opening the bedroom door, he wasn't there, and he wasn't anywhere else in the house.

I immediately alerted Sofia and Leo about his disappearance.

Leo told me to stay put, but I didn't listen, I was just too worried, I know it isn't a good idea to do so but my nerves and my gut told me that I needed to find James, and I think I know where he might me.

Bolting out the doors before anyone could stop me, I run to where James is most likely located, there was no one outside, not a single werewolf in sight, all locked in their homes or the bunker.

Rushing through the doors of the hospital, I find James, standing outside the room of the boy the warrior wolves saved.

"James, there you are, you scared me." I lightly scold him, as I wrap my arms around him, to comfort myself and possibly him as well.

With James in my arms, I investigate the boy's room, a typical hospital room, with the necessary equipment and a bed, that the boy is currently sleeping on.

He is a small kid, even smaller than James, meaning that he might be younger than him, he has dark brown hair messily laying on his head, his eyes are closed but I take notice of his dark and long lashes that kind of remained me of a girl's, his skin was a very pale complexion, it looked ghostly and with him laying in a hospital bed unconscious, it made my stomach twist and shift uncomfortably.

"I'm sorry I scared you, it's just that I was curious about the boy, I feel drawn to him, I just wanted to make sure he was okay." James looked at me with such innocence and pure curiosity, that I forgot all about the danger we were in and smiled at him instead.

"It's okay, I'm curious about him as well, but it's too dangerous to go out alone, so lets head back to Sofia, we made your favorite," I say as I wrap my arms around his shoulder, leading a now beaming and excited James out of the hospital.

When we were almost out of sight of the boy, James looks back at the boy, with a look of complete curiosity etched onto his features.

The poor boy, I don't know what he must of when through, I don't know what they did to him, but he must be so traumatized by it, I hope he gets better soon.

These awful people kidnapping a kid, to do god knows what to him, and just because he's a werewolf, I don't know what it is with men and killing the things that are bigger and more powerful than they are out of fear, this makes them, in my opinion, seem like just a bunch of cowards.

Just when we are away from the hospital and from seeing eyes, a sudden series of noises are heard coming from the woods until a warrior bursts through the woods, a warrior that James tells me, takes care of us, he was panting, bleeding, his clothes torn and his eyes frantic.
