I am so sorry for not updating sooner. I was distracted by a family issue and didn't really prepare a chapter. So I really hope I can post at least two chapters before Monday. So you shouldn't be surprised if you see I updated a chapter at like 2 in the morning. I have a really weird seeping pater you guys so don't worry. :) Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Rachel's POV
His eyes were so beautiful. They were staring right through me and I suddenly felt naked. Like his eyes were uncovering all my untold secrets and lies. I felt so vulnerable under his intense gaze. It scared me more than it should have.
Time seemed to stop as I realized the consequences of having a mate, especially at a time like this. Anything could happen, especially if there's rouges involved. Their next move is unpredictable, and for all we know they might not even come back. Maybe it would be better if we...waited? Before any of us could get a word out his Alpha walks into the hall. I bow my head slightly in respect but he doesn't even cast me a glance.
"Garfield, we're discussing our routes and strategy, we need you in there." To say he frightened me was an understatement. This man was known for terrorizing pack territory for reasons unknown. He always got what he wanted because he made it clear that 'no' was not an option. I was just surprised at how civilized he was acting. The man who was now known as Garfield gave me an apologetic look before he walked back into the kitchen with his Alpha. I let out a shaky breath and slowly turned. This was going to be a lot more difficult than I thought. So I continue my way back outside and continue my search.
And the only thing on my mind was my mate, Garfield.
Richard's POV
Alpha Soren had just arrived and an uncomfortable silence was filling the room. There was never any feuds between him and I, but we weren't on friendly terms either. But no pack is truly able to be 'friends' without a few rumors flying around. And rumor has it, he complained about me being to young and reckless to be the pack's Alpha. But the joke was on him considering my pack is now the strongest on in the country. Is it childish to keep a grudge on something that was possibly made up? Yes. But now I have to put that all behind to find my mate.
He got here about ten minutes ago and I had just came back from retrieving Gar. I didn't know who that girl was but I had no time for introductions.
Once everyone started laying out maps of surrounding packs, I took the time to inspect the new arrivals. I started off with Alpha Soren. There was nothing suspicious about him but looks could be deceiving. He was a pretty good looking guy, shaggy blonde hair, pale skin and, golden brown eyes. His height wasn't bad either, 5'11. And next to him was his Beta Cori. Oh the irony. He was not only completely different looking than Soren, but the only person to come with him.
And now that I was really looking at him, Cori was much too happy to be here. It was creepy. His long brow hair framed his tan face as his green eyes looked down at the maps.
Finally going back to the topic at hand we continued thinking of possible locations the Hunters could be hiding. And for a good hour we talk and plan. But through it all the only thing on my mind is Kori. She must be so scared and even worse, hurt. But when I look at Soren I cant help but wonder what he feels about all this, especially since his mate is pregnant with his fourth child, so I heard.
I ignore my burning need to know everything I don't, and go back to the people around me. We continued planning and Luna Luann continued bringing in food, which my twelve pack members gladly took. For the res of the night we debated and planned while other pack members were out searching for clues. All the while our mates were out there somewhere we didn't know, and all we had was a possible location to where they were taken. Life was cruel.
Yes I know I suck for making a really crappy short chapter. It's like one in the morning so I was just really desperate to post a chapter before Monday like I said earlier. Next time I'll post one much longer than this one but besides that thanks for reading. Despite it being a not so good chapter I hope you enjoyed!
