Lorenzo's POV
My wolf was restless, writhing, and freaking the hell out of my entire body and I wonder why. Infact, he started pacing the moment Mia left which got me disgusted at such an act that one would think that I was worried for something special.
It was already past the time to attend Silver Moon and Mia wasn't here, just when I was about to growl out in fury to send for her, my Beta came inside.
"Where's she? I'm f*****g late!" I uttered harshly and he swallowed, feeling nervous.
"I can't sense her around Alpha." He said and my wolf perked up immediately.
"What do you mean? I'm talking about Mia, you know I don't have any Luna bullshit to cover up tonight."
"I know Alpha, she's nowhere to be found."
I wasn't expecting my outburst to be this loud. I felt something hot burning through my skin at the thought of Mia disappearing from this pack.
"You're spewing nonsense, Devon! I need Mia now!" I roared out and a guard barged inside, panting rudely and bowing down immediately.
"I'm sorry Alpha but I think she fled." My throat burned against my back at the audacity Mia eludes!
"How?"
He shut his eyes tight as If he had something to do with her disappearance and bit his lips.
"She said she wanted to throw the trash outside and I Let the men open the main gate for her."
He confessed and I gripped the fabric of my clothes tightly so hard that I could rip it off my skin.
"What sort of useless trash at such time of the night?"
"That's not the first time Alpha. She's been going out past midnight to take away the trash as Instructed by Chief Maid and–"
A punch flew to his nose before he could complete his statement and everything was rendered silent. I was boiling within, not because of her disappearance but because of the fact that she might be pregnant.
Fuck! I knew that scent very well and I wasn't stupid when she came here. It took every ounce in me not to cup her belly and feel it. Mia was f*****g pregnant!
What if she was hurt? I can't believe I let my rage take over that others see her as nothing but trash and going as far as letting her go out past midnight.
Dear Moons, protect her this time around. That pup in her would be mine and I'll go ballistic if anything happens to her, the fear I've never felt in a long time came rushing down on me as the night I lost my parents and saw them murdered coldly by Mia's uncles.
I grit my teeth and stare at my Beta who looked helpless and scared at my reaction.
"Send all the men to search for her all over the pack, she wouldn't have gone far. Nothing must happen to Mia or you all would f*****g lose it!" I thundered it to their ears and the Pack became a mess.
Almost everyone went in search of her and I hyperventilated.
"You need to be at the Silver Moon Carnival, Dark knight Pack has the most requested presence and it won't be good for you," Devon told me and I tried to ignore the constricting painful feeling that was piling up in my heart.
Mia was a tool I used in venting out my frustration. I'm not sorry for her because she deserves hell but why do I feel that I'm having it all wrong? What if I never saw her again despite carrying my pup?
What If I never get to touch her and–
I slammed my hands on the wall heavily and walked out of the room before I got hard thinking about her.
She might be everything abominable but she makes me at her mercy at a mere touch of her skin.
I needed her, I would deny that severally but seeing her alive was Satisfaction, and using my façade of hatred for her was something else.
The moment we got to Green Oak Pack, a maid had collapsed and was taken for treatment which didn't bother me at all. The place was busy as hell and it was normal for them to collapse from too much work. This made me feel so guilty about the way Mia was treated and how many times she had collapsed right before me.
Why do I feel that I need to protect her now? How much had I pushed that girl that made me confused and feel good at the same time to the brim?
"Alpha Lorenzo!" I whipped my direction at the voice calling me and I frowned when I saw the pack doctor for Green Oak. He wore a worried expression and stomped his white jacket.
"I bet you would go straight to the point than wasting my time," I told him harshly as my mind wasn't here at all. All I needed was to see the Alpha of Green Oak and tell him my reasons for not gracing the event that night. I need Mia immediately or I'll go crazy.
I didn't realise how much her presence meant to me.
"I know you would get mad at me but I promise everything is under control." He started shakily and I almost rolled my eyes, he was trying so hard not to burst into fear.
"So…the rogues attacked this evening while preparing for the festival and a member happened to be the Victim"
"And how is that my business?" I spat out as I was beginning to get annoyed that he was wasting my time.
"She has the mark of the Dark knight on her neck and-"
"WHERE IS SHE!" I growled out before I could let him finish and he choked terribly, unexpecting my outburst.
"I'm sorry Alpha, she's in the ward room."
I wished I knew the way to the wardroom, I would have pushed him out of my way and appeared inside.
The only person missing in my Pack right now was Mia and yes, I made sure she was marked as a member of a Dark Knight.
Her scent hit my nostrils hard and my wolf perked up in anticipation, in need, itching to have her again and this time around, I wasn't going to be rough.
I just wanted to see her and confirm that she's pregnant.
We passed through the long rows of doors till he finally settled before one was slightly ajar and he pushed it open.
It was empty, just a drip and used syringes of injection laid on the floor and my heart wanted to burst.
The doctor acted as if he came into the wrong room but I knew that this was the right room. Her scent was here that I could lick the air.
"Sh…sh– she was here. I think she…fuck! Please let me check on her." He stuttered, feeling confused and I gritted my teeth in hot fury, slamming his head to the wall.
"You better find Mia right now or this Carnival would be a disaster!" I roared at him, feeling my wolf surging out. She's here, I know she's here but what if she ran away again?
What if I would never find her again? That question alone left me with dread, regret, and hot fury.
