She was still hungry and he had laughed at that. Nothing brought him more content than seeing that his mate was demanding more food and loved being fed through him. But for now, he had just brought her a few packets of chips from the vending machine outside.

Coming inside the room he handed her those packets but not before checking the expiry date of them all and he also bought her a few packets of chocolates.

If she wanted to be fed then she was getting fed. Period.

This time he did not take a seat in the chair instead he sat behind her and she was placed in his legs and her back was touching his front.

The ideal position for him, the one he loved because it was easiest to protect her in this form.

He smiled and as he watched her eat.

They had not found out how the mark had gone but the first time where he had come to know that Adaline was in an accident he knew that the disappearance of the mark had something to do with this.

Then Adaline revealed that it was a wolf who had come in the way.

This could never be just a coincidence. It had to be something more than that.

A pre-planned game against him.

But this was the point that he did not understand. Why was a plot being laid out against him when he was not even the heir to The throne?

That was most likely to be against Alexander as he was the firstborn child and a likely chosen heir as compared to him.

Alexander was someone who came off as bubbly, cheerful and positive.

He, on the other hand, what someone who can off as cold, hard-headed and stubborn. Which was exactly how he portrayed himself in front of others.

He gently ran his fingers through her hair and combed them. Taking out any tangles as they were not taken care of in the past few weeks.

He just came to the hospital for 5 to 10 minutes in front of others so that no one could say that he was a lousy and careless boyfriend. But it in the night when he came he felt more at ease because he could touch her without any restrictions from the humans.

He had to sleep in the guest bedroom for a few days because he had destroyed his own when he was made aware of the fact that he may have been in an accident and he could not go immediately as he was yet to be informed through her family and friends.

He had been on the edge and his beast was a completely different story. He was more primal and he wanted to lick her wounds and have his spit heal her. He didn't want to wait but that was not possible. His father and his brother had to restrain him.

He braided her hair and then took a soft rubber band and tied the ends together. She was and had leaned on him. Their eyes were almost closing and she was ready to sleep. He continued patting her hair knowing that sleep would come to her in the time if cuddled her into it.

He took the garbage along with him which was mostly wrappers of the stuff that she had eaten. His made was lying in the bed asleep and full. Just as he wanted.

Now came the next step which you had been repeatedly taken care of since the day Adeline had met with an accident.

He threw the garbage in the bin and once again stood still, concentrating only he breathes of his mate.

She was calm and so was he. At least till she was near him.

He moved into the forest and the deeper he went, the more his beast got to the edge. Being away from his injured made who was at her most vulnerable point it was something that triggered both of them.

He ran to the highway where Adeline's accident had taken place on able to walk away from her. The quicker he reached there the better so that he could sit out a side hospital and make sure that she was alright.

"What did you find?" Xavier just as the first thing as soon as he reached the site of the accident.

The Alpha of the pack was here along with his beta wolf. These two were involved with the axis investigation because appearing in front of humans in wolf form was forbidden and was considered a highly punishable offence.historical

"Nothing." The beta wolf answered. "We have scouted the entire forest for the scent of wolf familiar and unfamiliar birth but we have come up with nothing."

"What?" Xavier barked out. "Is your nose not doing its job or should I get an actual dog to do it?!"

"Xavier," his father chided. "Don't you worry son? If it was a wolf then it would have been found already but I am worried that it was not."

"She said it was." He immediately defended his mate.

The alpha nodded. "I would have agreed but there is no scent in the entire forest that could tell us that there was an unfamiliar wolf here or even someone who was from this Pack." He then looked away to his team of trackers, "They have never lost scent if there was someone that was from within this pack he or she would have been already caught."

"And if they were from the outside then the pack's defence is would have taken them down Immediately," Alexander murmured under his breath but it was enough for all of them to hear it. "What I don't understand is, how could Adaline even think of a wolf doing it when there was not one? No one talks of wolves anymore."

Javier scoffed, "Too many fantasies but then again if she said that we have to take her word for it unless it was a big dog that she is confusing it with."

Everyone laughed at that but Xavier didn't.

There was no scent of confusion or lie coming from his mate when she told him that was the wolf. All of this pointed to a big again that he had to find out about but not before making sure that his mate had fully recovered.
