Chapter 13
Chapter 13
Nadia and I went down to eat dinner together after I helped her find a shirt and shorts from m y closet that she could use. I had to draw the strings tightly on the shorts to keep them from falling, and I chose a black shirt so her nipples wouldn‘t be visible. I knew no one was around, but the black shirt was more for me. I didn‘t think I would be able to keep a straight face while talking to her if I kept seeing her proud nipples against her shirt. I was glad I could have her to myself while we ate since everyone was done with their dinner.
We talked about the packhouse, my Beta and Gamma, and the Gamma Female. I didn‘t want to press her about being the Luna, so I tried to keep the conversation light.
And nothing about what she needed to do once she stepped up as my Luna. None of us tried to start the topic again about what happened three full moons ago, but I guess it was better that way. As long as she‘s here, I could work on all the other things I needed to do as a mate and as an Alpha.
This morning, when I woke up, I thought it was just an ordinary day. I didn‘t think that a miracle could happen. But all my senses suddenly snapped awake when I saw her. And now, having her in my territory, I suddenly wanted to be an Alpha again, and make up for the things I missed and let g o of for the last three months.
My Luna needed a capable Alpha. And I would do just that. Be a better mate and Alpha.
After dinner, we walked outside, and I showed her the buildings around us, including the building where the cells were located. And then I showed her the insides of the packhouse. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
I felt good the whole time. It was like she was meant to be walking around the pack house, and everywhere she stepped in, the room just felt like it had suddenly come alive and more colorful.
I didn‘t know it was possible to feel this way. And even if she might still be unsure of how she feels about me, I didn‘t miss the glimmer in her eyes while we were touring the area together.
And now, I was laying in my bed with my arms under my head, staring at the ceiling. I’ve been in this position for quite some time. It was impossible to sleep knowing she was just in the other room, even if it was across the corridor. My mind was so alive and was giving me too many things to think about, all related to my mate and the things I wanted to do to win her over.
To say that I was excited was an understatement. It was more than that. I haven‘t had this kind of feeling in a long time, or maybe I never had it at all. I felt so motivated to start wooing her and fix myself as an Alpha. I knew I abandoned my pack and it would take a lot of hard work to make up for it, but I have all that I needed now to start fixing what I did wrong over the last three months. And I was hoping I wasn‘t too late yet.
Fuck! I wanted to see her. I wondered if she was still awake. Why did I forget to initiate her into my pack? It would be easier if I could mindlink her.
I need to call Davin tomorrow. Although he had no say in this since Nadia is my mate, I had to inform him out of courtesy.
I rose from laying down and grabbed my sweatpants, putting them on before pulling a shirt over my head. I had no idea if Nadia was still awake, but I wanted to see her to pacify my wolf. And me.
Knowing she was just around made me restless. I hope one day I can convince her to share a room with me, or at least move to the big room beside mine after the renovation. But of course, she could do as she pleases. As long as she stays.
I walked out of my room and threaded the corridor, going to the farthest end with easy steps. I wasn‘t expecting her to still be awake, especially since I was sure she had had a long and tiring day. But I was hoping I could at least smell her before I tried to sleep.
I stopped by her door and knocked thrice. No response. I tried to calm the erratic beating of my heart. Her scent was so faint but it might have been because she was asleep and under the blanket. I
knocked one more time. And then another. I should turn around and let her sleep, but my guts were telling me something was wrong.
Why were lights illuminated under the gap below the door? Did she fall asleep with the full lights on? My breath hitched as I grabbed the door handle and twisted it slowly.
Unlocked. Fuck! Where was she? I knew she could possibly be in the bathroom again, but I couldn‘t help the flood of uncertainties that rushed through my head. Did she leave?
I opened the door abruptly and scanned the room. When I saw no signs of her, I rushed to the bathroom and flung the door open.
Empty. My eyes darted to the clothes hamper sitting in the corner beside the sink counter and I found i t empty. Where were the clothes she came with?
I felt dizzy as I turned around and swiped my gaze around her bedroom one more time, my eyes looking for her clothes. Fuck! Did she really fucking leave me again? Was everything a fucking lie? I didn‘t know if I would burst out in anger or I would cry as I walked towards the door, punching the wall beside it before walking out of her room, ‘Has anyone seen Nadia? If no one has, then fucking get up and find her now!‘ I roared at the
group mindlink I sent to my Beta and Gamma.
The pain was coursing through my chest, but I couldn’t stop now. I needed to find her.
‘‘I‘m coming down!’‘ My Beta replied, followed by my Gamma who had the same response. I was moving too fast and was flying down the flight of stairs, and in seconds, my Beta and Gamma were trailing behind me.
“Check with someone at the border!” I ordered, not caring who among them would do it.
Fuck! I coiled my hands into fists as we reached the first floor of the pack house. Her scent was faint here. She was here!
I walked down the corridor, my gaze sweeping each room that I was passing by while the others were checking the other places on the first floor.
I couldn‘t think straight as I ran towards the entrance of the pack house with my heart hammering in my chest. Please! Don‘t fucking leave me! I don‘t know what I would do if she slipped away this time. I was almost out of the front door, preparing my wolf, Hunter, to take over when Gamma Sebastian shouted after me.
“Alpha! I found her!”
