Theo POV
I was mad. No one has ever told me no before.
I’m going to pick her up at 6:30 as I told her. I will not take no for an answer. Gunner my wolf snip in,
*There is something about this she-wolf. I need to get close to her. I need to be around her. Theo, we can't let her run from us.*
*I don't plan on her running from us.*
Looking over at Tristan, “Found more about this she-wolf. I want everything. From the time she was born to when she got her wolf. I want everything.”
Without a sound, he got up and nodded as he was walking out the door.
Gunner is right, there is something about this she-wolf that is driving me crazy. I couldn’t get her out of my head this weekend, and it did not help that my office smells like her. Lavender, vanilla and a hint of sugar cookies. When I got back to my office on Saturday, I had to call a maid to come clean, even though Sage had cleaned and replaced all the paper and pins that were on the floor back on my desk. She even organized everything. And when I found a little sticky note saying, an organized desk looks better but also contributes to a more professional and efficient work environment, and it reflects the kind of person you are. My office still smelled like her.
I’ll know everything about her soon. Maybe I just need to get her in bed so I can get this girl out of my mind. Later on that day, I took a shower, got dressed, and now I was on my way out of the office to pick up Sage.
“Theo, I got info on Sage,” Tristan said as he walked out of his office. I don't know why he doesn't use it more and stay out of my office, but whatever. Taking the file, he handed me, “Good job. Anything you need to say before I read this?”
Tristan tells me some of the info that he found.
“No one knows who the she-wolf that gave birth to Sage is?” I asked as I was sitting in the backseat of my car looking over the file.
“No, back then we did not need to get names, and there were no cameras until Sage was born. They did not want what happened that night to happen again.”
Nodding,” What happened to her mother and father? Are they still alive?”
“No, Fin Vincent was one of the best fighters we had. But 5 almost 6 years ago, we had that battle with Milo. When he came into your territory, and we did not know until it was too late, Fin was killed, and Anna was killed in a house fire that same night. Sage was not in the fire, she had just moved out not long before that night.” I remember that night, that's the night my mate was killed. Milo Long walked into my house and killed my mate, and before I could get my hands on him, he vanished and no one has seen or heard from him since.
“It says here she got her wolf at the age of 10?” Was I reading this right? And her first shift was at 15? I have never seen or heard of someone getting their wolf at 10. Wolves don’t talk to us until 15, and we don’t shift until we are 16. But she was 10. I’ll need to see if I can find more info about that.
“Sage, stop! If you keep doing this, you're going to bleed out. Please let me just get the door open and all this will be taken care of.” The next thing I knew, before I could even make a sound on the door, it was opening and a long silver-haired she-wolf answered the door.
“It took you a long time to get here. Now come help her before she kills herself.” I was pulled in by this girl. “Tell Tristan that Sage needs sedation medication that he keeps in the car. If we don't get her to stop, she will die tonight.”
Looking at this girl, how does she know that Tristan is in the car, and what in the hell is going on?
"Stop stopping and look at me, I'm a seer. I knew things before they happened. Now Theo Zimmerman, get your ass in high gear, or we will both lose Sage tonight.” I did as this girl asked, and I told Tristan that he needed to bring the sedation medication to Sage’s apartment now.
After that, the seer gets the medication from Sage, and she stops rolling around and scratching her neck, and crying. We put her in bed and walked out of her bedroom. Before we make it too far, I turn around to glare at this she-wolf/seer, but before I can get a word out, she stops me, ”Save it my King. I have heard it all before. How did you know who I was, or what was in my car? And you want to know what is wrong with Sage, but 1st my name is Harper, not Seeer, not She-wolf, it's Harper. I’m one of Sage’s best friends. I’m a seer, I can see what is going to happen. Most of the time, I can see days, weeks, and sometimes months and years before it happens, sometimes 30 mins before. And before you ask, yes, I'm good at my job, and no, I will not tell you anything about you. It’s fun watching.”
I feel like my eyes are about to pop out of my head after she gets done talking.
This she-wolf, sorry Harper, just looks at me, “Can you tell me what happened to her tonight? Is she on drugs or something?”
After Harper gives out a frustrating sigh, “It’s her mate.” She looks around the apartment shaking her head.”I knew I was not going to make it here on time. You were supposed to be here 10 mins ago, right before this started, but you were late.” With that she walks away and starts cleaning the living room.
Looking back at Sage's bedroom door, I could not get what happened out of my head. The way she looked, all because her mate was sleeping with another she-wolf, who happened to be my daughter. Why would another go up against the moon Goddess? She picks the wolf's mate. There was blood all over Sage. She had scratched at her mating bite until we got the sedation in her.
“OK, King, I'll tell you something. You have to give Sage time. She will warm up to you. Just be there, be her friend, and all will be OK. But I do feel like I need to tell you, this is not over. Until Nox mates with Zoe, this is far from being over. Maybe you could push the time of the wedding on them and make it go fast, but I really don't see that happening.” She turns back to me, her eyes as white as snow, “But beware, there are others that want Sage, and could love her more than you.” Then she walks out the front door, “Have a good night, my King, and Tristan .” Love, did that girl just said someone could love Sage more than me, I don't do love, I don't even know Sage o fll in love, but if I take it slow like this girl said, maybe, but I'm the King, I cant fall for some girl off the street.
