By the time I finally could go to bed, I was exhausted, and I still didn’t have an appetites Desperately
wanting to feel closer to A I decided to just go to sleep in the bed that still vaguely smells of her.
When I find one of my shirts she wore to bed thest night we were together under her pillows I slip
into it. Normally I would sleep topless but, having her scent envelop me is the most calming thing for
me at this moment. I allow myself to close my eyes and imagine she is peacefully sleeping next to me. I
know this will alone cause me more pain in the morning. But for now, I let it lull me into a peaceful
sleep.

The next morning I woke up after a fitful sleep. Wearing a shirt that smelled of her helped me fall
asleep peacefully. However, I should have known that it would never be enough to actually have a
peaceful night. Even my subconscious misses the feeling of her in my arms when I am sleeping. I
needed to get up though, we would travel to the White Oak pack shortly. After the announcement on
the website, I let the pack know we were still actively searching for their Princess.
Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
And after yesterday’s hup, we now truly had the support of the entire pack and it meant the world to
me. Not only because it would make my life, and my mission to get the love of my life back to me so
much easier. No, I wanted A to have a warm, loving pack. That missed her, that believed her and
fought for her to go home too. Being without our mates

even without havingpleted the process was painful for any wolf. We had always managed to take
the edge off with texting every day. Making sure we were surrounded by each other’s scent. I highly
doubt David. would allow her any of those.
That’s the dark ce my mind keeps going back to. Trying to imagine what he is doing to her. How he
is trying to break her because I know from my own experience just how strong she is. And just how
stubborn she is, she will keep fighting him if not physically she will fight him mentally. I wish I could tell
her to just go along with everything he ising up with. That I would never me her for acting like
she prefers him over me. I know it is not true but, if that is what is going to keep her safe she should do
it. Just hold out long enough for me toe and save her. Sadly I cannot reach her and she will be too
stubborn, she loves me too much to speak badly about me.
With a body that feels like it’s been run over by a tow truck, I shuffle towards the bathroom. Hoping that
a hot shower will release some of the tension in my body. I feel like I have to be ready for anything,
every second of the day now. So my body has been tensed up ever since reading that letter. Ready to
pounce on whoever I need to pounce on. And it made my muscles sore, of course, theck of nutrition
doesn’t help either. But how could I be stuffing my face when I am not sure that A even gets to eat
anything?
When I walk out of the shower Mom is waiting for me, a te of scrambled eggs with bacon sits on my
dining room table next to a mug of coffee.
“Honey, I know you don’t want to but you need to eat something. The

only way we are getting your mate back is by keeping our strengths up. You know A would never
want you to starve yourself” She adds thest words in a gentler tone.
She is right, I can practically hear A scold me for not taking care of myself. It feels like nobody gets it
though. Nobody seems to understand how much the simplest things like eating or even breathing feel
without her. No one in my family or pack has ever been through something like this. So there is nobody
here I can talk to.
“I know Mom, I just miss her so much that it hurts me” I can barely hold in my sobs.
Suddenly Mom’s arms are around me, it feels soforting. Like it did when I was a little pup crying
over a scraped knee or a missing toy. Only now I was an adult, set to take over the throne in a few
years. And now it was my heart that was hurting and I lost my mate, not my favorite toy So Mom’s hugs
could only go so far. Still, itforted me enough to attempt to eat breakfast. My mouth felt dry, and
my throat was swollen. I had trouble with every bite I swallowed down. Feeling like the bit of fluffy eggs
got lodged in my throat.
Two hourster I sat in the royal jet, heading towards the White Oak pack once more. Next to me was
an empty chair, the chair where A should have been seated. I should be flying to the White Oak
pack not because I needed to find out what happened to her. No, we needed to be

going there together to visit her family. Maybe even to go over to bring them some good news.
Still, I was d to be out of the castle, looking for hints here would feel so much better than just sitting
at home. Staring at words or images on aputer screen to try and get more information. After
After we arrived we did as we nned, we spoke to Alpha Cedric and he had some news for us. Since
it had been peace among
the neighboring packs for so long there wasn’t any security around the borders of the pack apart from
the guards station at the entrance. With the party and how well–loved A was in this pack. almost
everyone had attended the party so security was at an all–time low.
Some of the security cameras on the property had managed to capture three unknown wolves. He had
also been able to track most of A’s route home, not all of it as the security cameras where put into
ce to protect the heart of the pack better. And to possibly form evidence if there ever was a fight
between pack members.

It was better than nothing though because it meant there was a set path A had taken to her home.
With ourbined force we would research every inch of said path to look for traces or hints of what
had happened to her. Agreeing with the rest of us that the Blood Moon pack had to be involved. David
more specifically, Cedric asked everyone to look at the wolves on the camera. Hopefully one of the
former Blood Moon members could confirm who it was. The council had already agreed with us that we
had more than enough evidence to act on our suspicions that it was David who kidnapped my mate.
So we didn’t need to know who kidnapped her to be able to act upon it. It was still valuable information.
We could maybe use it to put some pressure on the kidnapper hoping they would crumble underneath
the weight of it. Confessing and pointing us out to A in return for a lesser
sentence.
Upon seeing the security camera footage both Jessa and Dan jumped up stating they knew who the
wolf on the screen was. But I noticed. something else as I closely monitored the videos for any lead
that could bring A back to me.
