Broken Mate by Norisha May
Chapter 25

Chapter Twenty Five

"What?" I sit slowly shocked not knowing what to think.

-End of flashback (Is that really it?) I take a deep breath. "How is Levi doing?" I ask Grant. "Not good. He is sedated in the pack hospital right now." He says looking down. "Has she been taken care of?" I ask lowly. He closes his eyes in pain. "Yea, she's in the hospital morgue with our other warriors that also died... she was just a kid... Preston and Avery are taking it a bit harder. They were the ones who took her to school every day." I nod. (She was a sweet girl. And I can't imagine what Levi is going through right now.) Someone knocks at the door taking us away from the conversation.

"Yea?"

Richard pops his head in. "Can I have a minute with you Alpha?" Inod.

"Alone?" I ask.

"No, it's fine. I just wanted to talk to you about what Abraham said before. About him having an affair with Rains mother."

Inod. "Yea, what about it?"

"You asked me a few days ago if I knew anything. Well, when Abraham mentioned the affair, I recalled something like that. It might be nothing but I think there might be more to that story. If I recall correctly... your father banished Amelia, Rain's mother. But that was only known to me, Abraham and Allen, Rains father. I am not sure if Rain knew, she was young." -

"But why go to those extremes?" I ask deep in thought.

"Well, there were also rumors that both Abraham and Amelia loved each other. Not sure if that was true but I do recall Abraham acting erratically when he found out that Amelia was banished."

"Yet he just lied and said that Rains mom killed herself after he broke it off." Grant says.

Richard nods. "That's what was strange to me. And then, two days later after Amelia died, Allan was killed by rogues and their house caught fire the same night."

I stay deep in thought for a while. (So many questions but, right now all I want is Rain safe by my side.) "Thank you, Richard, let me know if anything else comes to you." Richard nods. "Of course, sorry I couldn't be of more help. "No, that piece of information was a lot. So, thank you."

He bows and leaves.

Ilean over my desk and cover my face with my hands.

(I am so worried and feel so desperate. I'm sure it was that fucker that took her.)

"What are your thoughts on this Grant, who do you think took her?" I ask him.

"Evan... I am pretty sure. I tend to act nonchalantly around others butlam always watching them. And I watched him after you killed Asher. He has a fixation with her. I don't think she ever noticed but he would

I look at him ready to kill him. "And you never told me!"

"If I would have told you, then you would have done something stupid. And you weren't Alpha yet. Besides, when I noticed, Preston and I would take turns watching her. Making sure that he didn't do something to her."

I feel angry but I know that he would have told me if I needed to know. I trust him completely. I close my eyes. (If he has her.... goddess what is he doing to her?)

"Grant, we need to find her." I look up at him with desperation written all over my face. "I... I need her. She is everything to me."

He looks down. "I know. I'm going to go check on the Alphas again." He says and walks out. I am left here alone and I feel distraught. I don't know what to do with myself. "I need to find her. I can't let him hurt her. She was finally starting to trust me and now..."

I know she's alive because I haven't felt that pain that Levi felt. I can't bring myself to think about what she is going through right now. What he's doing to her.

I clench my fist as anger rises inside me again. **f**k!!" I yell.

"Alpha Kayden" Penelope opens the door and walks in.

I look at her feeling irritated.

"What?" I ask in a low tone.

"Oh, I'm just worried about you. Is there anything I can do to help you through this?" She asks. I'm not sure what her intentions are right now, but I'm not even looking at her.

"Do you know where my mate is?" I ask her. "...No."

"Then there is nothing you can do." I say.

Thear her walking closer to me."Well, maybe I can keep you company." She says putting a hand on my shoulder.

"What the hell do you want?!" I shout at her not hiding my anger. "I just thought...-"

"Thought what?" I ask, cutting her off. "That I would be vulnerable enough to fall for whatever the hell this is." I say motioning my hands at her.

She stays quiet.

"You know what you are doing right now?!" I ask her and she just stares at me now looking scared." Pissing me off even more than what I already am! So, I suggest you go back to the room and stay there!" I growl and she quickly turns around and leaves.

Ipinch the bridge of my nose feeling tired of everything. I lean myself back in the chair and close my eyes. I take deep breaths and somehow, I fall asleep.

-dream "So, who is she? Who has the great Kayden Byron acting like an i***t?" A sweaty Landon asks. I laugh and sit on a bench all sweaty because of training. "A beauty... my mate." "WHAT! You found your mate?" He asks surprised. "Where? How?"

I laugh again. "She's from my pack. I never knew she was my mate because she was still young when I left the first time."

I smile. "I do feel motivated. It's like... a spark ignited inside me the moment I saw her." "Dang, look at you being so poetic. I take it back. I don't want to start acting like you at all." I chuckle. "Asshole."

I abruptly wake up. I sit up and look at the clock. "I slept for half an hour." I sigh and close my eyes. "Goddess please, please let me find her." I pray.

I take a deep breath and get up. I walk out of the offices and out to the front. It's already dark outside. lean on one of the columns at the entrance and just stare at the moon.

("Do we really have to go back to the pack?" That's what she asked back at the hotel... We should have stayed back there.)

"Kayden!" Grant walks out of the house. "Alpha Cristian called. They found a blood trail in his territory. He has his warriors following it." He says.

"Get the warriors and the cars ready. We are all heading there now." He nods and limmediately start walking to the garage.
