I walked into the bedroom confused...
Why is she still asleep??
It's been well over 12 hours. I figured once she woke up and calmed down she would come and find me.
I bend down over the bed and I listen closely. I can hear her heart beating, almost fluttering how fast it's going. I start to panic on the inside. 'Why is she like this, this isn't normal. '
I know I shouldn't be freaking out as much as I am but this is my mate. I will never get blessed again by the goddess who gave me her to begin with. I have waited and waited for her. I start to panic and pace the room in deep thought. 'should I call the pack doctor back or should I just get my beta? He's been really close to the witches now. maybe I can call one of them over to have them look at her?' I think to myself, it's been way too long.
I mind link with my beta. 'She still hasn't woken up yet...' 'What do you mean she hasn't woken up yet?' Henry responds pack curiously. ' 'Its been way too long. The max is usually 12 hours?' Henry says after thinking over this a minute.
' I know that's what I need you. You've been really close to the witches recently, so maybe you could ask one of them to come over here? and try to help us?' I mumble out, I really hate asking for help like this. I feel so weak and useless, especially as the alpha of the pack who has to take care of each and every pack number. it makes me feel defeated. I sit on the side of the bed and try to swing off this gloomy atmosphere I've created for myself.
Henry mind links me back ' Okay, I gave them a call and they want us to go over there and talk to them but I told him that you probably didn't want to leave her. so I'm going to head over there with a couple other pack members to talk to them. then I will try to get one of them to come back here to check on her. and plus I know you've been a little distracted but we have to have the device updated once a month that protects us from the fay and we only have a couple hours left until it needs to be updated.'
I forgot all about that. even though it's probably one of the first things I should have thought of today, that thing has saved us. I've watched Faye try to go towards the barrier and get burned in the process. 'Just let me know whenever you get there Henry.' I reply back. I'm glad the mind link works no matter how far away you are with your pack. it's a lot easier than using the cell phone, but it does take up for some of your energy when you have to talk to more than one pack member at once . so now I just have to wait again...
It's been a couple of hours and I had someone bring me my laptop so I could work in here while she sleeps. Henry mind links me, 'Hey alpha, we got a problem. The coven... it's empty?' He says to me questioningly.
'Are you asking me if it's empty or are you telling me it's empty?!' I can feel the rage coming out in my voice even though I'm trying to keep my cool.
'No alpha, it really is empty. we searched through the entire coven house and there's no one here.' Henry says to me as he's fumbling around through the house.
'I thought you just got off the phone with one of them?' I'm confused.
' Yeah I did and she said that she was busy so she wasn't going to be at the coven, but there should be other people here and there's no one here.'
'Well picklesticks, I guess now we're going to be playing a scavenger hunt because if we can't get that protection spell back on that device, we're going to be at war and it's not going pretty.' I think I'm going to get grey hair soon.
there has been more face sitting recently and with everybody being in a relaxed state for the past month. Anxiety over the faye is going to be at all time high. I look over and see her sleeping face, she's so beautiful it's blinding. I instantly feel my mood lifted when I see her.
Still, she looks like she does not have a care in the world. but yet I'm here a ticking time bomb of anxiety. there's so many questions I need to ask her so many things that I don't know. but it looks like I won't be able to focus on her for a while. Even though she's my mate I am the alpha and my pack has to come first.
'Henry go find the witches. I don't care what you must do, bring one of them here because your life depends on it.' I can feel Henry shudder at my words knowing what evil things I'm capable of doing.
