Karma, Bitch! -bxb-

Chapter 16

Yay it didn't take me another 7 months lmao

Ben's POV

"Ben, I get that you're upset but please act rational- Ah! Put down that fucking axe right now!" Robin shrieked. We were at the brink of the pact's territory, where he had clung to my waist the whole time trying to stop me from smashing a bitch's head to pieces.

Some other pact members that were guarding him had come with us but could only silently worry about their luna as he didn't allow any of them to come near him. "L-luna, please be caferul-"

"Shut up Gordon, can't you see I-m busy" Robin only glared at the guard, but I didn't have the time nor cared enough to pity him. "Let me go luna." 

Robin's hold on me tightened again,"A-alright, but please just listen to me for 5 minutes." 

I sighed but finally stopped struggling. How the hell did this shut-in stay so strong? "Don't underestimate playing with twin children" he smirked in between breaths. I rolled my eyes, "Time's ticking"

"Ok, first of all. Even if you meet him, what are you going to say?" I stayed quiet, "...I'll think of something on the way."  Robin eyed me, "Sure you would..."

I growled, "Is that all you want to say? Cause I'm leaving." My patience was never the best, especially when it comes to Danny. Just before I could try to run away again, I strong leg pressed down on my back, making me drop to the hard ground with a grunt.

"What the hell Derek?!" I growled louder. Derek was towering above me, behind him his worried mate kept his gaze at me apologetically. Oh, so now you guys are getting along? "It's not safe to run around to the human world in your state."

I shoved his feet away and dragged myself up. "I finally know the location of my mate and you're worried I'd 'lash out'? How long have you known me?" I glared, my breathing turning heavy from all the nuisance that suddenly cared that I was a bit upset about the fact that my mate is fucking a random chick.

"I know you're not the type to get mad easily, but right now you just need to calm dow-" 

"I am fucking calm!" I growled, my claws visibly extending. I paced myself just as I was about to attack everyone around me. "Yea, you're so calm" Derek retorted. I glared at him.

"Alright, enough with your growling" he grunted, slapping the back of my head, which only made me angrier, "And stop glaring at everyone! You're gonna make Gordon piss his pants again." Beside me, I could see the young guard turning beet red from embarrassment. 

I steadied my breathing, attempting to calm down a bit. "...fine, but what do you suppose I do now? NOT find Danny?"

"As far as I know, you don't even know if he's your mate." His remark hurt and yet I couldn't find a reason to retort it. I dropped my head in discouragement, the thought of giving up fresh in my mind. "So what we will do instead, is go on a field trip."

My head swung so fast I could hear my neck cracking. "...what?"

Robin's POV

"So remind me again why the hel- I mean why we had to bring the kids?" I grumbled, already feeling the nausea of being in a moving vehicle for the last 5 hours whilst having to tend to two energetic toddlers. 

"I am not leaving them alone while we go on this trip." Derek stated. "Then you coul- urgh- you could've gone alone with Ben and left us at the pact house." Derek scoffed, "I'm not letting ANY of you out of range from me." Ok, if I don't get out of here within 10 minutes I might puke at my overly obsessive husband. 

Ben looked back at me worriedly, "How you holding up?" I held a sarcastic grin, "Peachy."

Derek glanced back and instantly pulled the car aside, just as I was considering puking at his clean looking new jeans. In an instant, I ran out and barfed out my breakfast, lunch, and snack.

"Ew, mommy that's gross.." San wrinkled his nose cheekily. "Gross" Nicky copied him. Why did I have kids again?

 I held myself up as to not fall into the pit of my own barf and dragged myself back inside the van. "You better be grateful Danny's your mate." I growled, leaning my head against my eldest's head.

Ben stiffened in his seat, probably feeling guilty. I was a. bit too carsick to care. "Ignore him. He's just being cranky about having to drive there." Derek sighed. My anger proceeded to return to my dear husband.

"And who was it that refused to take a plane cause he 'didn't trust the pilot to not crash out plane' and instead made us go on a 20-hour drive?" Everyone's eyes stayed on Derek. "....I can't fly a plane."

I continued grumbling to myself for the rest of the trip, my twins trying to persuade me to play thinking it'd make me feel better. I'm grateful they didn't inherit my carsickness, but sometimes, just sometimes, I wish they did.

Derek's POV

Ten hours in our drive, Robin and the kids were fast asleep, with Robin still grumbling insults at me. I chuckled at my cute mate, even when he was mad at me he's still cute. 

Ben was struggling to stay awake, and I felt a sense of pity for the man. "...you should go sleep" Ben's shook his head firmly, "I want to find him as soon as I can. I can't afford to pass out."

"We've still got a long way to go. Making yourself suffer like this isn't going to do anything." Ben stayed quiet, and for a moment I thought he had fallen asleep. I fixed my attention on the dark night sky, wondering if this trip would even have an outcome.

"....him" Ben mumbled. "What did you say?" Ben turned to me, eyes like a hurt puppy after his owner had left him, "I've wronged him... in more ways than one. So. how can I be happy when I was the reason he couldn't be?"

His eyes were brimming with tears and he quickly turned away to hide them. Pity and sympathy crossed my mind. I looked at my family through the mirror, sleeping soundly. I knew what it felt like to feel overwhelming guilt towards someone, and letting them down countless of times. 

Tears soon dropped from my face as well and Ben seemed to notice it. "Hey, don't cry..." he whispered. "I know how you feel...for being the cause of your partner's sadness." 

"Those...wasn't your fault" he whispered again, "You can't keep confining him like this because of the past. He can take care of himself and the pups." 

"I know that..."  I said,  rubbing away my tears and focusing back on the road, "I'm just afraid of the moment he can't anymore..."
