Life As a Beta's Mate: Sawyer's Regret

Ch.30

'What the hell was I thinking?' Bruno Costa asked himself, as he found himself standing in front of a large home, waiting to be escorted in.

Thinking back till now, he was so sure that he was ready to face the nightmare, that he long since ran from. But the second he stepped foot into the pack territory, he began to rethink his decision, seconding guess his decision to even be there. But it was too late now. He had decided to tag along for good reason, and the only thing that would get him though this moment, was if he stayed focus and remembered what those reasons were.

He had to stay strong.

And he had to bite the bullet.

Taking in a deep breath, as he saw a large figure step out of the home and began to make his way towards the large group that Bruno had stood with, he braced himself for what was to come. 'Today's going to be a long day.' He told himself, as his dark eyes took in the approaching figure.

Dressed in a dark suit, and set with a serious face, that barreled through the crowd, commanding their attention, the man took in everyone in a silent motion. And when his eyes reached Bruno, Bruno could have sworn that a shadow of annoyance played out on the other man's face, before he quickly passed his eyes along to the next person's face.

Taking in a deep breath once more, Bruno quickly began to feel bothered by the lack of attention, he was just given.

Not expecting to feel anything by reluctance and anger towards the other man, he quickly took control over himself, catching an aggravated growled, that wanted to leave his lips.

"You okay?" He heard a deep voice ask from the side of him. Turning to his left, Bruno quickly found his eyes placed, on an observant Derek, who had been watching him from the time they left their own pack up 'til now. To him, Bruno had been one of his oldest friends in the world, and he had every right to feel concern when it came to him, especially in this situation.

"I'm fine." Bruno responded in a clipped tone, as his dark eyes, haunted after the empowered Alpha, that had disregarded him within seconds of seeing him

"You sure?" Derek asked, knowing how severe things were between the two males.

"Yep." Bruno stated in a short tone as he continued to look after the alpha.

Taking in a deep breath, and thought, for the second time 'What the hell was I thinking?'

In all honesty, he was mentally slapping himself for even being there, but the second he heard about the attack that happened to the Montana pack, and the moment he heard that Holland needed all hands on deck while Camryn was still out of town, he knew he had to do something. He wasn't just going to sit around doing nothing while his cousin was missing, and Sage was losing her mind from worrying. Then he heard about Derek leading the team to met with Frost's pack, and he knew he couldn't just stand around and let everyone else pitch in.

He was needed, especially when Derek was involved with heading out the team to meet up with Robert Frost's pack. He didn't trust Frost at all, so letting Derek walk into his territory alone, was not something he was going to allow. He already had an Alpha who he once called a friend, hating him because of Frost, he didn't need Yelena added on the list. And from where he was standing, a pissed off Yelena was a far more dangerous and scarier to face than an enraged Alpha.

So at his first chance to approach Holland on the matter, he demanded to tag along to make sure that things went according to plan. Without putting up much fight, Holland allowed him to come, figuring the same thing that he had, which was that if things took a turn for the worst that he'd have Frost's ear.
