Alpha Nicholas novel Chapter 30

“We walked for miles through one of the biggest forests that I have ever seen without hearing or seeing anything. For a moment I was wondering if we were even in the right place after all, the last thing we needed was to be in the wrong place and to get into trouble for nothing. Don’t get me wrong, we were all more than happy to spend all day helping our best friend locate that place, nor did we have a problem with getting punishment for it but for Tony’s sake, I didn’t want it to be a wasted trip.”

“Anyway, we kept walking for another few miles before we started to hear sounds, possibly voices and I remember feeling my whole body instantly tense up. I’d had a bad feeling all morning and it was only getting worse but I still tried to ignore it. Thankfully, it didn’t take us long to find a clearing in the middle of the forest that was covered in tents and looked like the perfect Rogue hideaway.”

“Of course, Tony being Tony, he tried convincing us to head back and let him do it alone but that just wasn’t happening. Only while we were busy convincing him of the latter we hadn’t realized that Adrian had wandered off a little further away and was getting pretty close to the opening. We called him and called him but it appeared as if he couldn’t even hear us and that’s when we heard those voices again, and then a group of Rogues appeared in the clearing from the other side of the forest and I just knew that shit was about to hit the fan. The forest was massive but in that moment it felt like everything was closing in on us.”

My heart pounds as I listen to his story. Granted he had Alpha blood in him but he was still only 12 years old and while it was pretty stupid of them to go somewhere like that alone, I also believe it took a lot of courage. I watch as he sits on the chair and once again I remember how uncomfortable those things can be and pat the bed in front of me as I sit up and cross my legs. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to sit in this position without much pain and I enjoy every second of it.

He hauls his big frame onto the bed and crosses his legs crisscross apple sauce style like me. For such a large man he shouldn’t be able to sit like that with such grace. Still, somehow he does it and then takes my hand back in his. He seems to like to hold my hand which I don’t mind, if anything I love it but being this close to him and feeling these tingles run up my arm is both comforting to my soul and devastating for my heart.

I knew that talking about this would be hard but fuck, it is so much harder than I could have ever imagined, and I’ve not even gotten to the worst part yet. I try not to think about that day too often because even after all these years the memories are still too raw but my mate has been incredible the whole time that I’ve been talking, she has just listened and let me hold her hand through it all. I’m not sure how she going to react to what I tell her next but I know that she can handle it, She is so much stronger than she realizes.

“Of course, the moment they got us out of the hut we were taken away from the campgrounds so we never saw what went down that day. Well, except for Adrian. After we had been taken off the pack lands he started losing his shit, rambling to himself while pacing around by the SUV that we had been told not to leave only he did, out of nowhere he ran off and back into the woods. We tried to chase him but the guards wouldn’t let us, told us that they would link someone to find him but… but they never did. I don’t know what kind of spell he was under but he was definitely somehow being controlled. I’m guessing that he somehow managed to break it for a short time while he helped us escape but then it must have become too much for him.”

I stop to take a breath and get a handle on the emotions that are weighing heavy on my heart when I notice tears in my mate’s eyes. I reach out and swipe my thumb across a stray tear and suck in a breath when I feel the tingles from our touch slightly calm my ranging emotions. “Do you… did you ever find out what happened to him?” Here comes one of the hardest parts of this story and I silently will Storm to keep calm while I tell it. At least until we can get out ass away from our mate anyway.

“So did Adrain go with them?”
