09 - This is insane
984 Words
The scent was strong in his room but there was something mixed with it, BLOOD!
He raised his nose into the air as he followed the scent of blood to a painting by the walls. He pulled the painting away but they were nothing on the wall. Someone washed it clean but he could tell that the wall was still wet which means that whoever has that blood is still injured. He raised his nose into the air and began to isolate every scent in the room until he caught a whiff of something familiar.
He dashed out of his chamber and barged into Carlos's room without a second thought when he found the couple in a heated situation. He turned around immediately as the couple stopped abruptly. Carlos was furious that another male saw his mate like this but knowing Ethan, it must be something serious.
"Am sorry" Ethan apologized and sped out of the place back to the hallway. He followed the scent down the stairs and out the house. Whoever has this scent must have been all over the house today which made him wonder how he didn't notice the scent earlier.
Amelia saw him and tried calling out to him but he simply ignored her and walked out of the packhouse. The scent is faintly in the air but if he doesn't leave now, he may never get to follow that scent.
Amelia was about to go after her when Jasper called out to her "Have you been Diana?" He asked
"Not after the incident" Amelia replied.
"We are just coming from the infirmary and we can't find her anywhere," Jasper said with a worried expression.
"What?! Oh no, go check the forest Jasper, Annie said she was injured". Amelia said face-palming herself.
As she was busy with the guests, she totally forgot about it.
"Since when?" Jasper asked anxiously
"Since before you arrived" Amelia replied guiltily, she couldn't bear the fact that she forgot such an important thing.
"Gosh! I'm on it" Jasper said rushing out of the packhouse.
Ethan followed the scent into the forest and with each step, the scent got stronger which means the person must be nearby.
On getting to the top of the hill, he saw a young girl with blonde hair, stained with blood. He was not the compassionate type but seeing her unconscious in this condition broke his heart immensely.
He picked her up bridal style and notice that her face was covered in tears.
At the sight of this, the beast in him let out a ferocious growl, scaring the tiny animals around.
He suddenly felt a very complicated emotion that reminded him of the tragedy of 18 years ago.
He never imagined in a lifetime that he would feel like this ever again. He ran at high speed from the forest to the packhouse and on his way, bits and pieces of that fateful morning came flooding back to memory.
"No, leave my mommy alone!"
"She's a traitor! And her sins are punishable by death!"
"Mommy!"
"Ethan!"
The pain he was feeling was so strong that his knees buckled and he fell to the ground shielding the body in his arms from the impact of the fall.
The Almighty Lord Ethan was crying and it was a very pitiful sight.
"Don't die on me!" He screamed at the girl in his arms whose face had already gone pale.
"Daddy!"
"Am sorry Ethan, I wasn't strong nor was I powerful enough. I failed to protect your mother"
"Daddy"
"Promise me son that you will not fail as I did. You have to be stronger and surpass me, when you find your mate, protect her with all you've got son"
"Please don't go! Don't leave me!"
"You are all grown up now son, I wish I can stay but life is nothing without your destined mate"
"Where is the infirmary?!" Ethan screamed as he ran into the packhouse with an unconscious Diana in his arms
Stephan approached him immediately, he was about to dispatch a search team to go find her but here he was with her in his arms.
He felt an immense amount of heartache seeing her bloodied hair and her pale face.
He immediately pulled himself together linking his mate to meet him in the infirmary.
Once they got into the infirmary, Diana was placed on the bed as Amelia walked in with a nurse.
She gently ushered them away saying "Alpha, Lord Ethan, please step out, let me do my job"
"Make sure nothing happens to her else... I'm going to burn your pack to the ground" Ethan replied with fury.
He stormed out of the room with rage while linking Carlos to meet him outside.
On getting to the door, Stephan stopped him and said "Thank you, Lord Ethan"
Ethan completely ignored him as he walked into the field, tearing off his clothes layer by layer until he was in his trouser.
Carlos came into the field with a smile and regretted it immediately when he made eye contact with the man he calls his brother.
Sighing, he pulled off his T-shirt and took a stance.
"Go easy on me bro, I have a mate now and she may kill me if you leave too many bruises esp...."
Before he could complete his sentence, Ethan kicked him on his abdomen which sent him flying but he was able to get himself together before he crashed to the ground.
"Woah, man! who got on your nerves?!" Carlos asked terrified as he knew with this kick that this won't be an ordinary spar
Ethan ignored him and sped to him when Carlos stood up and ran for the hills screaming
"This is insane dude! I just met my mate today and I don't intend to die on her!"
"Alpha Stephan send help please!" He screamed again running farther away.
