It surprised me to see Maya and Lily at the exit of the cave. The two of them seemed to be his guardians. They detected him when his bracelet broke while he was trying to save me. They have been frequenting the cave exit for quite some time now. Sadly, that was the end of their connection with him.
We started getting scared that you might both be dead at some point. However, when Maya started seeing visions, we believed you both were still alive.
Now that Blake was asleep, I think we should have a brief talk. Lily moved closer to me as she spoke to me. Maya told me she has been having night terrors and premonitions about Blake, and it has scared the crap out of her. It would be better if she could tell you about it herself. I shifted my gaze to Maya. She smacked her lips together before she took a deep breath and explained.
It is impossible to describe how we arrived at the council or what happened, but the council asked you to kill your mate. You stood there with a single drop of tear on your face. Everyone was waiting for you to speak and when you finally spoke, you rejected him, turned your back and walked away from him. When he ran after you and asked why you didn't believe he was innocent, you looked him in the eye and told him you hate him. This almost killed him.
As Maya finished explaining everything, I could feel my heart breaking into pieces. I could hear my wolf screaming in my head. There was a lot of confusion in my mind. Now that I just found him, this is happening to me. How ill-fated am I?
I swallowed my pain and showed no emotion at all. Maya, Lily. Can you promise me that no matter what happens, you will not tell him, and swear to me you will protect him with your life as well? I want you to swear to me you will protect him with your life. Tell me you'll do it. I screamed out of frustration.
I opened my mind-link to Dylan, my beta. I heard him rambling about "how are we going to tell him" before Lily's voice broke the trance.
It is our duty to protect the Supreme Omega with our life. Lily said.
Alexander. What happened,why did you scream? I heard his soft voice behind me as he left the room. We were fixed. He walked toward us and held my hand. OMG, what happened? Why are you crying?
We didn't respond, just stared at each other for a moment, and I was also curious to see what was going on with Dylan as well. "Tell me right now I commanded him with my Alpha's voice".
Th-the, hi-his majesty passed away. He stuttered. I sensed fear in his voice. I am in a state of emotional pain right now. First it was my mate, then now it is my father.
My father passed away. I mumbled to him in sorrow. While staring at my foot, I couldn't look him in the eye, not that I lied, but I didn't tell him the truth about why I screamed, either.
My heart dropped as he cried, and he saw me sobbing, pulling me into a tight embrace. As I hugged him for dear life, I let all the emotions out of me. It confused Maya and Lily before Lily figured out I must have mind-linked with my beta. "I'm sorry," they both muttered before they left the sitting room.
He pulled me onto the couch while wrapping his hands around me like a baby. I felt comfortable with him. He is my home.
I love you; I whispered to him.
I love you too; he mumbles as he kisses my hair.
I woke up two hours later, and he was still holding me so close. He is warm and smells heavenly. My edible snack.
Hey, I kissed his hand.
"Why do you smell so delicious?" he whispered.
As I leaned in to kiss him, Dylan told me he was outside.
What do you need? I whispered. Dylan is outside.
Charger for my phone and strawberry ice cream. Thanks.
Okay, love. I peppered his face with a kiss.
A half hour later, Dylan pulls the car up to the back of the hotel. I would like you to call the girls to come to the room. We need to talk. My heart races as I dash into the building.
Currently, Blake is waiting patiently for me. He looks grieved, and I am certain it is because of the news regarding my father. However, on the way to the store, I thought about it. I don't care what happens later, but right now I want to be with him every second. I want to cherish him before calamity befalls us. It's going to be so difficult because once he is link to me, he will feel every emotion. I won't mark him yet, because that's the only way.
'Hi Blake,' I said to him as he hugged me.
How come you have so many bags? He asked.
I got us some clothes, toothbrushes, your charger, and toiletries. I also got a variety of different flavors of ice cream. Then I winked.
"Naughty" huh? His lips are so soft when they locked with mine.
As the girls ran in with Dylan, their laughter echoed throughout the room.
Joy kills, I groaned.
Why are you upset, Maya? In a flash, Blake left us stunned.
What do you mean? I asked him.
Maya is hurting, I can feel it. Did something happen to you?
N-No, she stuttered.
I also know when you're lying. He raised an eyebrow.
Blake, I was just worried and scared that something could have happened to both of you. I am also disappointed that His Majesty didn't get to meet you as his son's mate. That's all I swear.
It's okay, I don't need you to swear to me, and I'm also sorry about his majesty.
Having settled everything,. If you know anything about this place, please let me know.
It's exactly how Blake described how they captured him after they finished narrating the story; however, what surprised me the most is their willingness to enter people's homes and take their children. During our discussion, we laid out our plans and weighed our options.
I know a way, Lily said. A few weeks ago, when we followed Blake's scent, it led us there, but the scent immediately disappeared. And a few days ago when I was wandering around, I saw a man looking suspicious. I followed him into the woods. When I walked back a few hours later, I saw him stroll out of the gate.
Okay, perfect. When do we go? Blake asked.
We should leave at night or early in the morning. Dylan rolled his eyes.
We will leave at night, so you should rest now. I said as I walked into the room. I need a hot shower.
It feels pleasant to be under a proper shower with running hot water, as opposed to the cold water that was flowing in the cave during the night. When I walk into the room after an hour of a hot bath, I notice Blake is sitting in the middle of two empty ice cream bowls.
Hey! It took you long enough as he dashed into the bathroom.
I picked up the empty bowls and trashed them while I cleaned myself and slipped into a short and a polo shirt and climbed into bed. I haven't slept in a proper bed in over a month.
