My Not So Perfect Mate (boyxboy)

Chapter 19

The sun was rising above the horizon painting the sky with an orange hue. The atmosphere outside was calm and soothing completely opposite to the war raging inside my head.

Here I was in my office standing on the balcony trying to wrap my head around all that has transpired in just a day's time. Though Rico's name was no longer leaving me snivelling and breathless, it still successfully brought back all the horrid memories trying to throw me into a trauma-induced trance time and time again. But I am really trying to preserve here.

But the thing going inside my head right now was the images of the people who Micheal had named to be traitors in our own pack, people who have decided to side with Rico for one reason or another. I never expected the number to be so high, these people belonging to every facet in the pack.

He had named ten people, his smirk growing with each name as he very confidently pointed out that it was easy to pursue them to betray the pack as they all had one thing in common and that was their hatred towards the fact that an incapable, cowardly boy like me was going to rule over them, become their Alpha.

If that was really true then there were really a lot of people with deeply rooted hatred towards me, their perversion towards me so strong that they had sided with the monster himself, completely inconsiderate of the fact that they were putting the life of a small innocent child in jeopardy.

" A penny for your thought", said Phillip from where he stood at the door leading to the balcony.

" Nothing, just thinking about all the people who hate me enough to side with the devil. Anyways is there any news from any of the tracking teams or from Jake?", I asked once again determined to focus all my energy on finding and rescuing Ramsey instead of things related to myself such as the fact that quite a few people in my own pack including a person I have gone to school with despises me to the greatest degree.

" No, we have received no news from either the tracking teams or Jake. We are not even sure if Micheal gave us the right tip or Jake is just wasting his time following a dead-end", said Phillip sounding as tired as I felt. None of us has had even a moment of rest since yesterday, all of us burning with the determination to help Ramsey and hopefully kill Rico.

" I know but all we can do right now is hope that we do find something worthwhile, something to point us in the right direction before it's too late and there is nothing even left for us to save. Each moment that we are spending just waiting and doing nothing must be a moment too heavy for Ramsey to bear, being subjected to too great a suffering that his small body can survive", I said, unfortunately, having quite the accurate idea of what that child may be going through at the moment.

We can all pray that Rico is no longer that heinous and vicious and would spare the child of the trauma I had to go through but in our hearts, we all know that devil-like him is incapable of any redemption and mercy. We can only hope that Ramsey is not scarred beyond repair, we can only hope.

" Xav, are you okay?", asked Phillip. I looked up at him and could see deep concern towards me reflected in his eyes.

Did Sam tell him something? Did he tell him about my panic attack or implied that I am just a ticking time bomb? No Sam would not betray me like that, it's not his secret to tell. But it also won't be the first time he had shared a secret of mine which was definitely not his to share.

" I am fine. You should go and get some rest while you can", I said sharply and he simply nodded and turned to leave understanding that I was in no way willing to have this conversation about my well being with him.

But before he actually left the room, he turned back towards me and said, " I was here to tell you that maybe your phone ran out of battery or something. Sam told me that he has been trying to call you but your phone is switched off. He won't tell me what the matter is, but he did urgently want to talk to you. It may be something related to the mole that we able to track in Blue Moon pack." Having said that, he left the room.
