The Couple novel Chapter 42

Christian

I was furious with all that was happening. I didn’t imagine things might get out of my hand so soon and so much that I wouldn't get to know what is happening with my mate. It was more frustrating for me that she didn’t trust me enough to share things with me.

She insulted Olivia, said so many awful things to her that I couldn’t even imagine. When Blake called me to inform me that they are leaving immediately, I knew that things went a bit wrong.

But what I didn’t realize was that things are messed up for life.

We just signed the treaty and I asked Olivia a favor as a friend and she cried because of me. I am informed that when Olivia returned she was crying and directly went to Blake to ask him to leave immediately and take her home. If it wasn’t the treaty, Blake would have initiated the war. Olivia and Blake might not be on good terms even after these years of their marriage but Blake still holds her to the position to initiate the war for her prestige and die for her if it is the last option to him.

He didn’t even wait for me to bid them a proper bye and drive with them to the outskirts of my pack border. Now, I am doubting if he will resign the treaty. He is the nearest pack to us. I believed they will be the first one to help our pack in need when the fated war starts, but I doubt my thoughts.

I tried talking to Olivia but each time it was Blake whom I reached to. I even tried to use other’s phones to talk to her but I think Blake has restricted her to talk to anyone in my family and I don’t want to scare my pack so I didn’t involve Olivia’s parents and her sister.

Till today I don’t know what actually happened. I was angry with Celia, I wanted to help her but she chose to betray me. I really felt something was wrong and she was threatened somehow by Harris. But I believe I was wrong. Moon goddess can choose wrong mates for you.

I even checked for her parents’ safety and I found out they were safe. She even called them here to meet her new boyfriend, Harris. Jeanne informed me that neither of her parents approved of Harris,they didn’t even acknowledge his presence which I witnessed myself when they arrived at my house for dinner one night during their stay. His parents got along well with my elders. They even made plans for the next day and for their visit to the town.

No, Jeanne still doesn't know anything about my relationship with Celia, her being my mate or the prophecy. She was just informed of the happenings in a general manner and out of concern for her friend. But I know she has her own doubts.

When we got the news about Linda and John getting rescued by police when Celia practically forced one of their friends to check for them. Jeanne says it was Harris’s deed and Celia is just trying to save one or another. My one part believed her and wanted to trust my Heaven but the other part was in constant denial.

I decided to go for the facts we have until now and decide if I can trust her again. Maybe, I should hear what my heart is screaming to me but it can be the death of my whole pack and I can’t make this mistake. I can’t afford such a mistake.

I was discussing things with Ethan in my home office about some pack things and how to mend our ways with Blake’s pack again. I can’t see the future but I can see a war happening either because of prophecy or initiated by Blake after a year to avenge his wife’s insult. He won't leave the matter in the past nor will forgive us until he gets blood. He has been the alpha who demands blood for even a tear from his loved ones. He was the one I looked up to who taught me that the world can be cruel and to protect your loved ones you have to be the cruelest.

It was only then Tyler entered the office without a knock with Bryan. Bryan was clearly trying to knock on the door and ask for permission but Tyler seemed to be in a different hurry and barged in. I glared at him for interrupting us. They both seem out of breath like they came here running from a long distance but none of them look tired or even run out.

“You better have a good reason to barge in like this or I am sorry cousin.” Ethan came in front of me and stood between us like a wall to protect him. ‘First, hear him mate. Obviously he knows he is dead after the rogue mistake.’ In trying to protect Tyler from wrath, Ethan pushed the wrong buttons this time. Reminding me, his past mistakes are not good. But still I backed out since my wolf was calm for the first time after one of the pack members insulted him.

“I went to a club with my colleagues. Luna was also there with that bastard.”

“So, are you here to tell me that bitch was hanging out with some other man? What am I supposed to do?” I growled at him although my wolf was not angry at him but I wanted to vent out any anger, my rage. I took a step forward but Bryan stood in front of Tyler and spoke instead of him.

“There is more to listen to, please hear Alpha. Maybe our Luna is in high danger.”

“That is all I hear but no one says about what danger.” I couldn’t hurt my cousin since he is the only connection of Mumma and Dadda to my uncle. His sense of belonging. I picked up a chair and sent it flying to the wall.

“She asked me for help tonight.” It was Tyler who shouted out of fear this time. I stood in front of him with my hands bound behind my back so I wouldn't kill him before he finished speaking.

“Speak!” I ordered him and he said it all like how he always smelled fear, nervousness, depression and anxiety from Heaven but tonight she smelled confident although scared and more nervous but he smelled a confidence this time. Harris fell ill and she deliberately took him to his home. She asked him to help her and even told Zachary to inform him that she is taking Harris to his penthouse. He asked Oliver to stay and tell him about the next happenings as he left immediately after she left and went home to talk to Bryan first.

My wolf was howling and asking for his mate. It was mocking me for not believing his own mate. He was angry and wanted to take control. It wanted to run and reach the penthouse and save his mate before anything much happened.

I already left for the car trying to hold my wolf back. He is fighting with me for control right now and I know that letting him take control will be the biggest mistake than not trusting my Heaven. I was about to let in the car when Ethan came and asked to drive as I am in the right state of mind.

I just wanted to get near my mate as soon as possible but he took the car in the direction of Mason’s house. Mason is my commander in chief and trains the new pups and keeps the track of training of each pup. Jacob and Dan were already there.

Ethan pushed me inside the house while I was shouting and punching him. I even kicked Mason and him, I got successful to get myself freed. What they think of themselves, they can fight me? I headed towards the car when Ethan called out behind me which made me stop in between my tracks and went inside the house directly.

“Your wolf wants to come forward but you didn’t let him because you know it will be a mistake and going there without a plan will also be a mistake. Greg mindlinked me and told me Jeanne left immediately after she got a call and that call was from Harris. Trust me without a plan, we will put the whole pack in danger Christian.”

I am sitting on the couch in the living room of Mason’s house. Tapping my foot impatiently on the floor while I waited for all of them to arrive. They entered the room with Bryan and Tyler following behind. Tyler had his head bow down with fear and anger. I don’t care if he is angry with me.

“You guys better have a plan already. We don’t have time for thinking much.”

“Right now, we can’t do much like turning off his cctvs tohid our identities or hacking his system to get the entry in the building. We need to think of a way to get in the building and yet hide our identities.”

“We don’t need to worry about entry into the penthouse. I already asked Greg to make an arrangement to let us enter.”

“Okay, but we still need to think of something if he forgets because we all know how he is when it comes to her mate.” It took longer than I expected. I growled at no one in particular to ask them to hurry up with their planning.

“Since we don’t have time to handle their CCTV cameras, what I think is we can use them for our use instead.” It was Jacob this time, he is in the sheriff department. When he turned 18, he approached uncle himself with the idea to get into the sheriff department, so he can save all our asses when time comes and it happened a few times that whenever things got messier, he would find a way to get us out. Whether they were Bryan’s fights or wolf sightings.

“How?”

“We can go up there with our faces covered and in all black clothes like an assassin. They would check for CCTV footage but won’t get anything except covered faces and assassin clothes.” No wonder, Uncle trusted him with the responsibility. I must say I am just able to handle this pack because of everyone’s support and love which gives me strength and now for them I have to save their Luna for them.

Dan arranged for those assassin clothes in a hurry, we all got ready and covered our faces too. Till the time clothes arrived, Bryan and Tyler removed the number plates from both cars, although we might leave them far from his building but we still don’t want to get our car recognized.

When we reached there, the watchman showed up to stop and I didn’t care to halt to handle him. My fighters can play with him if they want but I am in no mood to play right now.

I looked towards Ethan and he spoke as if he guessed my question.

“Let me ask him.” He mindlinked with Greg who is equally furious but he knows he needs to stay calm to handle the situation not make it worse. No wonder, he was the best guy for the beta position. “He stole the private lift key from the guard and hid it near the lift behind the plant for us.”
