DON'T LEAVE ME LUNA

Sebastian's pov "He must be somewhere within the pack lands, I already alerted the northern side." Glen, our beta said into the call, I halted in my steps trying to refocus my senses, giving my sore feet a break from almost walking for an hour. I looked around in every possible direction in hopes of sight of him which resulted in nothing like all the previous attempts, the thing making the whole situation more alarming is I can't sense him at all, no matter how hard i tried and concentrate on only him, he wasn't there. "Luna ?" Glen calls me, the title still throwing me off, his voice worried due to my lack of response. "Did the pack warriors say something about seeing him, where did they see him for the last time?" "He went to the meeting this morning and texted saying he returned back,but he isn't in the office when I got there, no one from there actually saw him leaving the premises which is quite unusual and he haven't informed anyone about going somewhere. " "And he left his phone in the office!" I let out a sigh in despair. One thing about him is , he never leaves his phone behind, never ever, he always takes that damn device with him no matter where he goes. And to make everything thing worse , i can't feel him at all, atleast not the way i would, there's no scent of him even when I'm halfway into the forest where scents are actually the strongest, meaning he must have masked it. My mind can't come up with one coherent thought as to why he would do that. Unless he doesn't want anyone to find out where he went - Venus, my wolf adds, speaking for the first time after i started searching. I can feel his patience fading and heart picking up pace by every passing moment, honestly, I know it is the actual truth. "And why in the world would he want that" I take another deep sigh in frustration. My mate has never been the one for wild things and recklessness, he always have been cautious especially with being surrounded by rival neighbouring packs. He left for a meeting this early morning and should be back by the noon basing on what Glen told me, so he's supposed to be in his office, since he texted Glen saying he's back, but he's nowhere to be found in the office when he got there and in the premises, nowhere in the pack lands. I looked up at the sky,it is already getting dark. "Ugh" I took a few more breaths trying to not let my anxious thoughts get the best of me. This is not the time to let your overthinking take over, you can postpone it to tomorrow's lunch break, now get your s**t together and go get our mate - Venus tries to cheer me up, he honestly knows how to handle me in any situation. I breathe in and breathe out to let my body and brain calm down. My heart almost stops with what I sense with the breathe i took in last. HIS SCENT HIS SCENT - Venus also relieves in Joy. Even though he acted all brave to not let me panic, I know how scared, terrified he was deep down at the thought of our mate in danger. I can smell him, it is very faint but i can still smell him,the earthy scent mixed with a unique minty aroma that only belonged to my mate fills my nerves. I can sense his smell - I shout into the call not even caring if Glen is still there on the other end. I follow the scent in the direction it leads me, it takes me further into the forest , the scent getting stronger with every step I take, I kept running in that direction with a smile plastered on my face finally relishing in the scent of my mate after many hours. I kept running until I was almost at the border of pack lands. I stop in my tracks, my body almost crashing into a tree nearby, looking around, it is almost the end of our territory, I can see the neighbouring pack lands , their buildings and some members making me realise how close I am to it and the dangers of almost entering our enemy's land. I can't see much as it's really dark in here making me panic more. Don't panic Seb, you got this! - Venus tries again with his cheering but it doesn't work that well this time, I look around again to figure out where I actually am until I find a small construction, I walk towards it in hopes of hiding there in case of any danger or finding someone there but instead I am met with the scent of my mate at it's strongest with every step I took towards it. I realised it's a warehouse when it comes into line of my vision as I'm getting near to it, the exterior of it looks crusty, the walls were cracked and it has many windows, some are without panes, some were broke and hanging. It looked abandoned and haunted. So I don't understand why anyone would be here and out of all, why is my mate here. I don't go near it yet, I stop at the nearest bench like thing to the building to look out for any signs of my mate. I don't want to act stupid and blindly follow the scent, for Goddess knows, whatever reasons it might be a trap set by any of our enemy packs to lure me in, I wait there looking keenly into the place , l see no signs of him or anyone for that matter. " I'm really starting to think this really is a trap." I hear some muffled noises when I start thinking of going back. I can't really make out what it is or what they're talking but it sounds like someone yelling loudly but not loud enough to make out the exact words. So I walk towards it a little more until i find a wall to hide behind near the entrance. "-left me there, like I don't mean anything to you." I hear a female voice but not one I'm familiar with at all. I carefully listen to her tone, She doesn't seem like someone from the pack with the way she's speaking, Who is it then and who is she talking to, maybe I should alert them about a possible invasion.I try to peek through the spaces between the panes to figure out who it is but I'm not tall enough. I try to find something to stand on and luckily enough I find a wooden rack near so I quickly dragged it towards the wall and tried to figure out a way to balance myself and stand on it. That's when I heard the other voice. "Do you think I was happy when i found out you are not my mate " LEO. IT IS LEO'S VOICE, MY MATE'S VOICE. I almost felt happy for a fraction of second to have finally found him, which only lasted until my mind makes up the meaning of the words he spoke. The meaning finally settles in making me slip off the thing I was climbing. Did he..Did he just say- "Do you think I wasn't sad when I got someone else as my mate? " He spoke again, making the meaning of his first sentence clear. "Do you think I wasn't terrified when things didn't go in the way we thought they would?" He kept asking her these questions making the answers more and more clear to me.
