My Wolfe ✔️

CH 51 QUICKSAND

Hello! Alright, I'll let you'll read!

=======================

I eyed the old man from under my eyelashes from the sofa I was sitting on, his salt and pepper hair signifying his age. My mind was preoccupied with worst case scenarios.

"So, Tom, whatever happened to Jerry?" I enquired, trying to divert my attention; something, anything was fine.

This waiting game was so frustrating, it is making me want to run away from this room I was currently in.
After I had discovered about my mom and Nora's kidnap yesterday morning, Ashton had decided to bring me to his home and lock me up in his room with 3 werewolves on my watch. One included Tom whom I was already friends with.

There was no sign of Ashton from past one and half hours, lord knew where he was and what he was doing. I had bothered him with questions for so long but there was no answer from him.

"The Royal Regina" he addressed from his standing position beside the other two young werewolves "He... He ran away. Why don't you have dinner now?"

He had gone and brought a plate full of food that he wanted me to consume but my worry had given up on food for now. My main concern was that I didn't know anything. Ashton had down right denied involving me in this situation. I had tried the 'Regina' voice just like I had with those kidnappers on Tom but Ashton was smart enough to place werewolves that didn't know anything.

I was cramped up in a room that was big enough to accommodate twenty to thirty people with three big, huge werewolves. The other two were young, clear pale skin with serious business face. They hadn't even bothered talking to me.

The sound of door opening made me look at it like a child at presents on Christmas day. It was Ashton. I ran to him without any conscious and jumped on him. The void feeling that I wasn't even aware I was feeling was suddenly filled to the brim. It felt complete.

Did he feel the same way for all of six months that I wasn't with him?

This mate pull or whatever it is is creeping on me!

He let me hang on his neck for a second before slipping his arms around my waist, tickling me unintentionally.

"Why aren't you having your food?" he whispered as he kissed my head.

"I'm... I'm worried about then." I mumbled apologetically.

"Elle, baby, you not eating is not gonna bring them back." he walked to towards the bed and sat down with me on him. I buried my head in his clothed chest.

"I know." I pouted even though he couldn't see me, "Why don't you at least tell me what 'they' want? So we can give it to them and bring mom and Nor back. Who even are 'they'? Give me something! And.. However are they holding a werewolf as strong as Nora hostage? Isn't she the 3rd strongest?"

"Silver works the best to hold a werewolf's powers back." he answered for the first time "But you don't have to worry about it. I want you to have your dinner and sleep so I can take care of this mess. I promise I'll get them back for you, you have nothing to worry. I'm The Royal Alpha after all, don't you worry, my love."

He gave my hair another kiss as he adjusted my slipping body again on him.

Was I holding him back?

Did my eating worry him that he couldn't focus on getting them back safe?

"Do you promise?" I caved in

"Yes, now just eat and take rest, my beautiful mate." he learned over and presented a plate of food to me as I moved my ear away from his steady heart beat.
