Chase Me Alpha (Daria and Caleb) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127

Caleb’s POV

I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. It was early in the evening, and the entire Pack was muted. I glanced out the window, my body still filled with adrenaline coursing through it By now the entire Pack knew there was war on. The horizon, and everywhere was unmistakably quiet. The streets? Mostly empty, and thanks to Jacob’s and my orders, every corner had guards stood at attention, waiting, watching.

Today was the last day, I promised myself, that such a tense atmosphere would take over the pack in such a way. By this time tomorrow, we would have returned from battle,

I sat in my study, antsy as fuck. The weight of everything, seemingly the entire world, the fate of the pack, and more, rested on my tired shoulders.

When I had then called for Daria through the mind link, it had been out of desperation, of pain, of exhaustion.

And moments later, the Moon Goddess granted my wish.

Her voice rang softly in my head and shortly after, shaking off the shock, I welcomed the warming elation that followed.

‘Love, are you okay?’ I asked, holding back the swell of emotions but just barely. I longed to see her face, to hold her in my arms. My chest ached with a need I didn’t know I had until today

There was a considerable pause, a long one that I nearly thought she hadn’t responded to at all, and that hearing her voice had merely been a figment of my imagination.

But then her voice came through again, softer and more pained

‘Caleb, I miss you so much,’ she whispered, as if she was afraid someone would hear us.

My heart sped up.

‘I’m here, Daria,’ I told her. ‘We’re coming to get you. Just hold on a little longer for me, okay? I’ll come get you, I swear it.’

‘I will. How’s Eric? And Sabrina?’ She asked, shifting the topic smoothly. I noticed the mind link was getting weaker, her voice softer and more like she was far away.

Panic hit me like a truck.

‘They’re fine, Daria. Are you okay? Talk to me, love,’ I stood, gripping the edge of the desk. Something was wrong with her, I just knew it. “Tell me what’s wrong.’

She was silent for a while and I nearly feared I’d lost her again.

…I just… Come quickly, okay? I… I think I’m just exhausted. I…’ she seemed to say something but her voice suddenly became muffled, almost nonexistent….Felicia wants. She has it out for me. And she’s here now. I found out everything’

‘What?’ I demanded. ‘I can’t hear you, love!’

‘I said, I have no idea what Felicia wants.’ She truly sounded exhausted and weak.

I exhaled slowly, unable to contain the trepidation that enveloped me.

I swore to myself that I wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by. Jamal would die by my hands, and Felicia would face the consequences of her actions.

The day turned to night, a restless one. Then morning came. Before dawn broke, I was up. I had been unable to sleep properly, my heart heavy and my mind full of strategies, of ideas of what could happen.

Even an hour was too long for me to be apart from her, and it had been a day since the truth had been revealed.

And all to gather troops.

But it hadn’t been in vain.

I emerged from the bedroom. I was dressed in all black, my countenance cold and serious. When I reached the foyer I saw Jacob and Sabrina standing side by side. And Killian had just entered with Eric.

“…think that you should focus on getting some rest. She wouldn’t want you to exert yourself either,” Jacob still seemed intent on convincing his mate to stay behind. But she, dressed in athletic wear and looking ever formidable, crossed her arms.

“Im going, Jake. I won’t rest until she’s back and safe,” Sabrina insisted. “And I can hold my own against a couple of rogues. I’m strong enough. I didn’t train for nothing.”

I knew that there would be no convincing Sabrina otherwise. And surely, Jacob must know his mate very well. Just like mine, she was incredibly stubborn.”

I cleared my throat, announcing my arrival. Jacob immediately dropped the topic of Sabrina staying behind and instead focused his attention on me.

I asked my Beta, “Is everything ready?” And he nodded.
