บท 114: We found him
Beside me walks Zeta, I was against her coming since she has a mate and a child. I didn’t want it to be on my hands if something happened to her, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. The great thing is that she was at the club with Quinneth, which I find quite shocking. Not Zeta at the club, but Quinneth. What was she doing there anyway? Obviously having fun without me.
What makes me more nervous is that my current girlfriend and ex-girlfriend met without me knowing. Quinneth is not the jealous type, but still, she could be pretty awkward in situations.
“Where did you meet?” asked Zeta. Her platinum blonde hair moves fiercely in the cool wind.
“Meet? Who?” I step over a rock; it be pretty embarrassing if I tripped. Especially in front of my hybrid ex-girlfriend.
“Quinneth. Did you guys meet at like the pack house or something. I know her grandpa is the pack doctor.”
“No, uh one summer ago I saw her at the beach and realized she was my mate. The first time we had a conversation was when her class visited my father’s business. After that has been bliss. Before being with me she had a boyfriend Myers, who was trash by the way.” I see a look of amusement over her face. “Why are you looking like that?”
“Like what? Amused? Never thought you would meet your mate; I know I broke your heart when I met Rhynan.” I shrug her off. In reality, I was pretty sad. She wasn’t my first girlfriend, but the first one I had real feelings for. When she went back home Rhynan, the future heir of Dane, was in their kingdom for peace treaty work. At a late-night dinner, she came down the stairs and their eyes connected. She called and told me about it, I’d admit that I was pretty anger, but understood. If I had a girlfriend before meeting Quinneth I would have left her for Quinn too.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, you and Rhynan are meant to be. Like me and Quinneth are.”
“You know she’s really nice, your mate. She cared more about the color of my eyes than me and you dating. And she’s a Zatitnik, one in a million that one.” Interesting, I thought Quinneth would be all over me when she met one of my ex-girlfriends, guess she isn’t one of those girls.
“She’s pretty amazing, everything I could want in a girlfriend.” A few warriors walk ahead of us, surveying the area making sure there aren’t any enemies following us. You won’t believe how many people have been trying to kill us.
“Your mate also told me that you guys weren’t one speaking terms, that you lied to her.” This is something I wanted to forget about, I just want to move on with her and leave the past in the past. When I found out she was missing my heart dropped through my chest, the thought of leaving her would leave a gaping hole in my heart.
“She didn’t tell me that she was sneaking down to the prisons to see Sasha. Also, Sasha used her and used compulsion so she could get her out, that’s why were in this situation right now. She wants revenge, and you know Sasha she doesn’t stop until she’s satisfied.”
“Trust me I know.”
“Don’t worry I forgive her; I hope she forgives me. The way I talked to her, the way I looked at her I could tell it hurt her to the core. I- I never want her to look at me like that again.” I stuff my hands in the front of my pocket. “Enough about me what about Rhynan, how is he?” We never met each other, due to him being an heir and all, so busy. Whereas I’m just the son of an Alpha in a pack he’s probably never heard of.
“Stressed. His father is getting rather old, and can’t do the work he usually does so Rhynan has been taking over. With that he hasn’t had time to see me or Winona, she doesn't even remember what he looks like anymore and he’s, her father. Love can’t always fill up the pain and lowliness.” She looks elsewhere, most likely at the trees compilating everything.
While she does that, I drift off and think about Quinneth. Will it be like that for us, complicated and difficult. Would she even want to have children with me, it’s not an easy job being a parent and running a pack? Also, my father’s company I’ll have to run someday. I want us to have a simple life, not one with complications.
Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by warriors holding their guns up to a tree. Their legs spread apart, gun cocked and loaded. Everyone around me halt, ready to pounce on someone at every minute. Zeta stands in front of me, her teeth stand out.
“Zeta wha- what are doing?”
“I’m protecting you.” She says in a matter-of-fact tone.
“I can protect myself you know.” I move her over to the side, she stumbles a little bit.
“Come out whoever you are.” Kal says, his scouts stand behind him. Then they spread out around the area, trying to get the mysterious man or woman around the oak tree. It could be someone from Oslow, or some from Nygaard. We do have enemies around the world.
Behind the old, withering tree with all hear a groan. The type of groan when you get beat up to death, and are just at your wits. That type of groan.
“What the hell is that?” Aren whispers under her breath.
“Sounds like. . .a human or something.” replies Christian.
Coming around the tree is. . .Will. His body is filled with all types of scrapes and bruises, and his arm looks pretty broken. I’ve never seen someone look as bad as Will does, beaten up and torn down. What is he doing out here and who beat him up? He slides painfully down the tree; it looks like his legs are giving out.
“We need a medic!” my father screams out. Aren pushes through the crowd, a bag with a hospital cross is on the front. Me and Christian just stare at her as she checks out Will.
“Aren what in god's name are you doing?” said Christian.
“My job you dummy.”
“Since when did you become a doctor?” I ask. She rummages through her bag pulling out some bandages.
“I look some medic classes and got my license. You would know that if you asked about my life.” Me and Christian just look at each other, unsure of what to say.
My father walks to the front where we are, he leans down to Will. “Who did this?” Is all he says.
Will heads lifts up, “Sasha.”
Of course, it would be Sasha, why would we think it would be anyone else. He looks. . .dazed and confused.
“Will what have happened out here?” Charles asked.
“I- I can’t remember anything. All I remember is that I was standing in the street in front of Quinn’s car. A look of fear was all over her face, then I walked in the woods and stopped. One moment I was upright then I’m knocked out on the ground floor. The funny thing is that I had no control, somebody was taking over my body.” My father faces squeeze up, then he comes to realization about something.
“Compulsion. She used it on you that’s why you don’t know why you did what you did.”
“She used you to get to Quinneth.” I tell them. “She’ll pay.”
"We've got to keep moving, the tunnel should be coming up soon." said Henry.
“Wait, isn’t that It right there.” We look over to see Christian to see him lifting up a piece of ground leading to the hidden tunnels.
“Guess we were more near than me thought. Ok, Aren stay here and fix up Will, 2 warriors will stay with you and make sure you're both ok. Everyone moves with me.” My father walks first going down the tunnel. One by one we all jump down; the jump was deeper than we thought.
“Everyone stays close together, and stay alert.” We all walk deep into the tunnels, old roots and sand hangs from the ceiling. These tunnels looks like they haven’t been used in years. Up ahead we see a door.
“You all ready.”
“Yes Alpha.” Everyone says, I’m ready to get Quinn back.
