_____________________

I wasn't supposed to get drunk from those drinks but staring at the two empty bottles and the remaining quarter bottle of liquid in the tequila I've accepted the term anything can happen.

Rising off my bed I was thankful I didn't get hang over headaches and those shit 'cuz I felt as good as new except I was starving. Hadn't eated since.....

Pulling my phone from out of my pocket I checked the time.

Shit.

I hadn't eaten yesterday, my last meal was the diner Alexis made when we'd just arrived.

Oh, shit. Alexis.

That was when all the details of our last encounter came back to mind.

I was an awkward drunk.

Rolling off the bed, literally, then catching my footing just before I fell I got into the bathroom and showered and brushed my teeth.

Getting out, I changed into slacks and a white T-shirt.

Where was my slippers?

There you go.

Walking out of my room I landed exactly in front of Alexis' room.

Memories of the past few months where she'd sleep on the ground as opposed to the bed came to mind then I remembered how she'd slept peacefully when I was there.

Ah, memories.

Knocking on the door I noticed her room was eerily silent and because of my mate instincts or whatever I had a bad feeling she wasn't in there.

I walked right in and found her room exactly how I'd left it.

She wasn't here and because of the faint dust of her scent she hadn't been in here for a while.

Payge would know.

I hoped she did.

Crossing the hallway and getting to Payge's room I knocked again then just entered. She wasn't there either.

Stay cool, they're probably downstairs asleep on the couch.

I went down the staircase in a casual walk although I wanted to run throughout the entire house until I found her. I met the living room downstairs and found the two still missing.

So, that's when I checked the kitchen, the backyard, the gym even Payge and I's freaking office. Nothing.

Holy shit.

Where is Alexis?!

I streamed out of the house lightening fast and ran all the way to the pack house, there were lurking eyes following my every move but right now my main concern was Alexis.

O God

What if someone took her?

Payge would go after her first if she knew, so that explains where she is.

This is exactly what I was talking about!

I'm sure they're already hurting her.

Why was I headed to the pack house again?

Someone there had to know, You couldn't leave the property without someone in there seeing.

Then I'd check the gates. Wayne or Thomas would know, or whatever those two guy's names are.
