Bab 260: Chapter 251: Dead asleep
"You've caused me to lose my prey!" Erick hissed out.
Toby's eyes widened more. Erick's voice… doesn't seem like it belongs to him. It was more… hoarse. Prince Dane?!?
He bravely looked at Erick's face and nearly fainted out of shock. The latter's face has changed. Although he still has his human body, his face has become hairy as if it was about to shift into a werewolf. His teeth have grown longer into fangs and his eyes have turned to amber.
Toby desperately grasped Erick's hand which was gripping his collar, pulling him up in the air. His legs dangling in mid-air, making him panicked.
Master Silas and Ronan walked to this scene and what they say left them shocked. The former quickly rushed towards Erick's side and quietly calmed him down. "My prince, please calm down," he said. "Venting your anger on him is not worth it. On behalf, I apologized for anything he had done wrong."
Without thinking twice, Master Silas had believed that it was his subordinate who had done wrong, not Dane. This was because he knew both men's personalities and he, without doubt, would definitely believe in his superior, even if his subordinate had been under him for years.
Erick frowned. Or rather, Dane. Erick, who was pushed back into his consciousness, was also trying to calm the latter down.
Fortunately, it worked as Dane slowly loosened his grip, dropping Toby to the ground.
Toby immediately started to gasp furiously, trying to get his breath back and calm his beating heart.
Before Master Silas could say another word, Erick suddenly disappeared, running towards the direction they assumed Rehan must have disappeared to.
The next morning.
Amber was cooking her breakfast when she noticed how quiet the house was. Well, except for Luka, who was gobbling his food. She frowned as she looked around the kitchen to find… no Erick.
She switched off the stove and removed her apron. It was the weekend so she actually woke up late. She had thought that perhaps Erick was still sleeping in his room.
Yet, it has been nearly an hour since there were any sounds. He usually would go out of his room and immediately zoomed into the kitchen, feeling hungry.
She placed the apron on the kitchen chair and headed for Erick's room.
Seeing his mistress walking out of the kitchen, Luka stopped eating and followed her from behind. The two walked together towards Erick's room.
Hearing that there were no sounds coming from inside, Amber was confused. Did he not go back home last night?
She took a deep breath and told herself. 'Alright, I'll just barge in," she thought to herself. 'So please excuse me.'
Without another thought, she pushed open the bedroom door. It was fortunate that Erick was someone who hardly locks his door. Why should he, anyway? Doubt there was anyone who would dare to come barging into his room.
Stepping inside, the bedroom looked as if someone had not slept in. Compared to when he was in highschool, the Erick today was neater, who likes to tidy his room. However, looking at the room at that moment, Amber felt it was… too neat.
She frowned as she became very concerned. Where could he be?
She grabbed her phone, which she kept inside her pant pocket and started calling Erick's number.
Soon after, she heard a ringing sound, making her even more confused. Is she hearing things? How come the ringing tone sounds as if it was somewhere near this house?
And it appears that Luka heard the sounds too. And before Amber could think of where the sounds came from, the former had run towards the front door. He started to paw against the door knob.
Just as Amber was about to say something, the door opened and suddenly, there was Erick, stumbling through.
"Erick!" Amber exclaimed in surprise as she rushed forward. She pulled him up to a sitting position and realized that the man was still sleeping.
'What had he been doing, making him so tired?' she wondered.
She then tried to carry him to his bedroom, putting his arm around her shoulders. Unfortunately, she couldn't even lift him up as she staggered before falling on the floor.
Thinking that she might have woken up, she looked over, his arm still around her shoulders. She was surprised to see that he was still snoring softly. 'Sleep like the dead,' she thought to herself.
She pushed his arm off her shoulders and then stood up, her hands on her hips. She then began to think about what she would do to bring him to bed.
While she was still thinking, Luka had walked over and before she could protest, the latter had grabbed Erick by clamping on his leg with his mouth and started to drag him.
Probably because Luka had been walking, making Erick crash against the wall, chairs and tables that probably woke the latter up.
He blinked his eyes furiously and tried to sit up. However, Luka continued to drag him towards his bedroom, making him speechless.
Not wanting to crash again, Erick quickly pulled his leg from Luka's jaw and grudgingly sat up.
Amber rushed over when she saw that her mate had finally woken up, albeit still sleepy. "Erick, what happened? Why did you sleep outside?" she asked, looking concerned.
But before he could answer her, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Never mind. Let's get you to bed. You should get more sleep." With that, she grabbed his hand and helped pull him up. This time, it was easier because earlier, Erick was like a dead weight, making him heavier.
Amber then guided him to his room, where he was still feeling a bit hazy from not enough sleep.
Opening the door, she pulled him towards his bed and tucked him in bed. Men can be such babies.
Erick blinked his eyes furiously, watching Amber about to leave the room. "Baby?" he called out softly.
At the door, Amber stood there with a smile and said to him, "We'll talk later, okay? Just get some sleep for now."
