Chapter Twenty-Three
Alpha Draven POV
A frown made it way to my face when I heard her words, anger surge within my body, this is the third time he is defying my words, he is probably tired of living.
I stood up instantly and rushed to my room, with Theo and Killian behind him, inside the room, I could still perceive his strong sweet scent but now it was only faint, my eyes went red with anger.
The entire room turned cold and the surrounding atmosphere chilling, the servants must have felt my anger as they all had their head down in submission.
"How did he escape, didn't he make any sounds? How couldn't you know?" My cold voice lingered in the air directed to the guards guarding the door outside my room.
I had felt it before, I knew he was going to do something outrageous again when he stared at me this morning.
I walked slowly to the window and looked down, the divut were still tied together and reached the last floor, I suddenly wonder how a weak Omega like that could make such a strong rope.
My eyes scanned the ground downstairs, it was practically except for the guards patrolling outside, my fists clenched tightly behind me and I felt my blood boil.
"Summon all the Patrolling guards right now." I commanded with a Cold voice and went straight to the elevator.
Downstairs the guards all stood in line waiting for me, my cold gazes scanned their stiff faces and I held myself back from lashing out.
"Who among you saw my mates just now?" I asked slowly, trying to control the rage in my tone.
"We couldn't find him My Lord, the head of the maid informed us when it was already too late and..."
"Get him out of here." I growled, he must be new, my men know to speak when they have something important to say.
"Pardon me Alpha, please pardon me..I heard a thump I heard a sound." He shouted when the guards tried to take him away, my eyes dimmed slowly and I raised my fingers, signaling for my men to stop for a while.
"What did you hear?" I asked with furrowed brows, the guard stood up and bowed slowly.
"Behind the mansion, I heard a large thump sound as if a sack fell, before I could go check it out we were summoned by the Head Maid." He explained and I sighed angrily.
"I think we can follow his trail my Lord." Ronan suddenly appeared behind me and said, I turned towards him with a growl.
I already know that, now that I even marked him, his scent is very pendant in the air, he couldn't escape from me, I just want to buy time, to give him the illusion that he could run from me, the thrill when he noticed that he escaped.
That is the moment I plan to catch him unexpected and tear him into streds, seeing my face Ronan stepped back with a bow.
Questioning my guards now is just like buying off time for him to run off more distance, my only concern is for him not to fall into the hands of a hungry wolf.
"My Lord, something came up." Suddenly A guard walked up to us with a panicked expression, I frowned slightly and turned to him, what could have come up for him to be so panicked.
"Prince Kael.."
Seeing him so hesitate to continue, a warning growl escaped my lips as the surrounding atmosphere turned chilly.
"Prince Kael attacked and overpowered the guards, he had a bit of silver spray with him and it gave him quite a upper hand, the guard's were injured and he made an escape."
Hearing his say this, my blood boil, I should have killed that traitor long ago, now he is on the lease.
"Did you send men after him?" Theo immediately asked, his face filled with rage, the guard shook his head.
"He headed to the direction of the Forest and disappeared too quickly, we sent some powerful pack dogs in his trail." The guards said and I felt Theo body vibrated in anger.
"If you can send a dog, wouldn't w wolf be a more better option, why don't you send warrior wolves to capture him, he is Prince, how could dogs even stand a chance with him." Theo reprimanded openly and I just stood there.
Suddenly, something came to my mind and I grunted slowly, Ryker.
I instantly turned and made my way to the forest following his scent, Prince Kael must be after him, why go the same way my mate went when he could just escape out of the pack.
"Gather more warrior into their wolf form and have them chase after prince Kael." Theo commanded behind him as he and Killian followed behind.
Arriving in front of the forest, I immediately shifted into my huge majestic wolf form and entered the forest, his scent became even more accessible now in my wolf form.
I followed his trail, passing through trees and water sources, my wolf getting incredibly agitated, I ran faster deep into the woods, my wolf let's out a howling sound, it was a call for more wolfs.
I ran faster, I don't know what Prince Kael have in mind towards my mate but I sure wouldn't let him have his way with him, he dare defies my order so publicly, he must be seeking death.
I could see a small river flowing in front of me and when I reached there, his scent stopped here, as if he was in here somewhere, scents couldn't be perceived from inside the river, but he couldn't possibly be in the water as there was no bubble.
My wolf growled and walked round across the river, sniffing the air and nearby woods for any traces of him, but I couldn't pick up any scent, my eyes darkened instantly, how was it possible for him to control his scent.
I planned to head back to my direction, maybe I might have missed him on the way when suddenly my eyes caught sight of something, a cloth, the pajamas I had given him to wear.
I instantly rushed to the wood and behind that tree, just few trees away, Ryker was being held under Prince Kael.
A silent powerful warning growl escaped my lips as I leapt at him, my teeth sank into his neck and his screams afterwards were excruciating.
I threw him off Ryker with a single breath, blood gushed out from his neck and his upper lips tightened, trying to stiffened a painful growl.
I instantly shifted back to my human wolf and by now, Theo and the rest have caught up.
"Take him to the dungeon and chain him up." I commanded in a low but powerful tone.
Turning to Ryker, I lifted him up slowly and walked away, heading back to my castle.
