Almost Rejected | BXB

35 | Late (Zanes' POV)

I let out a sigh as I turned the knob to Kyle's room, watching as he immediately perked up at the sound of his door being opened before relaxing at the sight of me.

I gave him a small smile as he looked up at me with green eyes full of concern. Ade just came back with Stefan, apparently he got out and made it all the way to his cottage. He saw everything, everything we didn't want him to have to see.

According to Ade he hasn't said a word since they left, I still remember the guilty look on his face when he asked me what Rette sie meant.

"Save her." I answered, giving him a questioning look when he guiltily glanced back at his closed room door. I watched him take a deep breath before he thanked me for the translation and then left down the hall, not saying another word.

"You okay?" My thoughts were broken by the tired voice of my boyfriend, he was no longer laying down on his bed and was now sitting at the edge, continuing to look up at me with worried eyes.

I put on a smile as I made my way to him, "I'm fine, sweetheart." I reassured, quietly chuckling when he grimaced at the name, "Do not call me that." He complained, looking up at me with an offended expression. I let out an amused sigh, playfully rolling my eyes at his dramatics, "Of course, my king." I replied, jokingly bowing to him as he let out an unamused hum.

I continued to stare down at him with a wide smile as he stared up at me with a blank expression, scanning my face for a few moments before talking, "What's wrong?" He questioned, causing me to let out a small sigh; He always somehow seemed to know when something was wrong, not just with me but pretty much anyone, he's like a psychic and it's genuinely terrifying sometimes.

"There's just a lot going on.." I sighed, moving to sit beside him on his bed before flopping down on my back. He leaned back to look at my face, his forever tired looking eyes holding slight concern as he let out a short hum in reply.

My eyes slightly widened when he started to lean down on his side beside me, resting the side of his face on my chest. He didn't say anything as we just laid in silence, it wasn't common for him to show affection. I know he loves when I do, despite acting as if it annoys him, but for some reason he usually shies away from returning it.

A small smile made its way onto my face as I wrapped an arm around the lower half of his back, pulling him closer to my chest. I allowed myself to relax and just forget about the events of the last few days, knowing this was his way of silently comforting me, did help.

Moments later my relaxing muscles were once again tensed when I smelt blood, I quickly got up at the smell, immediately able to tell it was coming from Ades' floor since it was only a floor or two above Kyles', "Where are you going?" I turned to Kyle as he rubbed one of his eyes.

"To check on your brother." I replied truthfully with a slight joking tone, "He's a full grown alpha wolf." He commented, raising a brow in disbelief. He's not a wolf which means there's no way he can smell what I'm smelling, I laughed at his comment not wanting to worry him as I leaned over and placed a kiss on his temple.

"I'll be back." I grinned when he rolled his eyes at my terrible Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, leaning over him to kiss the side of his head, causing him to send me a small smile before turning back over in his large bed and waving me off, allowing me to leave the room.

I quickly made my way up the steps, stopping when I noticed the drops of blood that trailed from Ades' open room to the elevator on the other side of the long hall. I went into the elevator, assuming whoever was bleeding went to the basement to get checked by one of our many pack doctors.

"Hello, Beta Zane." A pack nurse, Elizabeth, greeted me, bowing as soon as I entered the first floor of our underground hospital. "Hello Elizabeth, did Ade come down here at some point?" I questioned right off the back.
