Two days after the chaos, Quinlan felt so lost. The feeling of emptiness is attacking him. He didn't know that this day would come, the day he felt helplessly empty while wanting to hold someone again in his arms. He doesn’t know when, but right after he saw Zeke’s back leaving his place, all he can see is red. The officials who were the ones initiating the fight are sent to punishing tower for their incompetence as a leader.
These two days, Quinlan had tried to push his luck but he didn’t receive any information about Zeke’s whereabouts. Resting his back at his new door, he feels weak as the scene keeps hunting him.
‘Why did I throw him the door? What were you thinking, Quinlan?’
All he could do now was regret and Zeke’s hurt face kept appearing in his mind.
‘Mark someone’
Quinlan laughed at that thought…. The idea of marking someone just to get rid of Zeke must be a joke. Their connection after two years is deeper than he thought it was. Marking someone right now will just make things harder. And to add, every time he tries to get to know someone, he will just find himself getting bored and inattentive.
In the midst of deep thinking, Baron entered the room with a letter in her hand.
“Sir, this letter was addressed to you but there’s no specific name from where it came from.” Baron handed him a letter with an unfamiliar stamp on it.
“You can now go”, Quinlan dismissed her before opening the letter.
To Fourth Generation Leader of Wurdles, Quinlan,
Hello Mr. Quinlan. It has come to my information that you had an interaction with my son, Zeke. It was brought to my attention since the last update to me was that you threw a door at him and had caused you part ways. Tell me, anyhow, do you wanna die? If you do, please send me a letter too and if you don’t, handle this matter immediately. We, Caxton, have left the bloody fight because we had agreed that we shouldn’t waste our generation fighting like a child, but if this non sense improvements with you and my son, I’ll kill you with both of my hands.
Sincerely will kill you in no time,
Zafiro
After reading the letter, Quinlan flinched a little.
He quickly called for a pen and paper. He will write, but not to get killed, but to express his apology and reply if Zaifiro knows about Zeke’s location.
'Quinlan, you jerk!' he said to himself while he was still chained to his bed. He and Zeke might have scented each other two days ago, but that was not enough for his rut and he could feel also that Zeke is in a lot of pain.
"mark someone else." Zeke's words were full of agonizing pain and caught him off guard. He didn't know that the ruthless omega could express so many emotions.
' Go to him. Find him you i***t. He could die from longing for the scent now that you shared and exchanged pheromones.' Quinlan's wolf just like to provoke him to do anything, yet he do nothing.
Minutes feel longer as he waits for his painful rut to go away. his meditation got cut off as a beta stormed to his room only to point its wand to him. "You fucker, you knew Zeke is in pain more than you could feel, yet all you do is chain yourself and wait for Zeke to go back to this place-- where he's unsafe and unprotected?! I may have to kill you myself if that what you wanted." a mage, Quinlan never knew that Zeke has a company like the one on front of him. Altho a beta, the man have well define feature and a body built to blend to his surrounding, a very typical kind of spy. One means their pack is penetrated, two means the man in front of him must be too powerful.
The mention of his fated pair wrung him wrong as he bolt out of his bed. unable to catch properly his breath, and is in state of panic. "where is he? do you know where?- please tell me immediately." His wolf roared by the news and he wanted to bash himself of guilt
you're an i***t! if my pair suffer more, Ill make you suffer tenfolds!!
His wolf banging his head yet he still manage to flash a pleading look.
"now you're concern? He lost a lot of blood because of the door you threw to him like you're killing just any other omega."
horror consume every fiber of Quinlan's body. "H-he bled too much?" only to be answered by the beta's hard punch on his stomach.
"he is. And his heat makes it hard for him to cope, yet his supposed alpha won't man the f**k up. Even I told him to just mark with someone, but his wolf took over and nearly pounce on me."
Quinlan wanted to smile, he knew Zeke was lying wishing him to mark someone. But even before he could summon any wprd of replies, he heard shouts that an intruder had penetrate them.
"Go. Ill find him after dealing with them." Quinlan had remove the chains and the next thing he knew, the man flew to his window and effortlessly leaving without any trace of smell making it look like the talked never happened.
Trees by trees, Zeke's heat burns too much and he can't go any further anymore with his walking. Harry suggested him to rest but resting makes him remember the warmt of that Quinlan's body next to him making him more emotional and alone.
"Harry why are you—" Harry immediately shush him and drag him back to their temporary home.
"I told you to rest."
Zeke snorts at the command but his small smile vanished when he smelled his friend, "You! you reek of him! Did you want him for yourself?!"
Another thing about Zeke, he always let his wolf to take over.
"Easy down Blockhead, He'll be coming to you now. I can't help seeing you in pain and my head would be cut off by Elder Zafiro if I don't help you with the Wurdle's pack leader. " by mentioning his father, Zeke looked down. Of course his father would know anything about him. Cunning as ever but his father prioritize his safety even tho it means he had to cross the original plan of making them separate.
Harry felt that in few minutes, the pack leader woukd be bursting through their door so he guided his omega best friend to lying down to its file of nest and be a look out.
True to his intuition, He saw Quinlan's wolf running to their direction.
The wolf knows where his pair, the owner just ignore it for sometime. What a pain in the ass, pairing. One blockhead and one stubborn. This was the words Harry's wolf said and he could'nt agree more.
The wolf change in front of him and Harry look away for a moment as Quinlan wore some piece of clothing.
"He's inside." the pack leader didnt ask, it is a statement and Harry could only nod to confirm.
"He might be in pain and suffering from his heat thus his wolf long for you, but you have to understand his wolf could also kill you for what you have done to him at your place." Harry's wolf eyed roll by the warning he did and it wanted to say he's not worth the warning and deserve to be bruised by his patience's wrath.
"Let me in."
