Every day feels like a challenge for Christian as he always fails to allocate his mate who always successfully run away from him.
It was as if teasing him, the moment he almost reaches or catches his mate she will be a step ahead of him and leave him behind.
Christian look out from his kitchen window towards the pack members who was having fun playing around in the backyard as he minds linked Arlo;
'Are we never going to find out mate?'
Arlo who was done with his human part replied in a short sentence;
'I don't know'
'I get you're tired but think of me too. I need you now more than ever'
Christian take a deep breath, exhale as he rubs his face in annoyance yet his words were deflected by the cold-hearted Arlo as he growls towards him;
'You should have listened to me in the first place. This will never happen if we didn't go to that stupid party and I told you numerous times to get away from that bitch but did you listen? No, you fucking did not you fucker. So you can fucking die alone in regret because you are a piece of shit'
"I'm sorry"
Murmur Christian, looks at his uneaten food in front of him as he is alone in the empty kitchen area. His sorry wasn't seat well with Arlo as he growls loudly making the other pack members whimper slightly;
'Say that to my mate. I want you to beg. Beg to her like a dog you are and seek for her forgiveness because until then I will never forgive you unless my mate forgives you herself'
Ulfred quickly walks into the kitchen area as soon as he heard Arlo growl, he stands next to his Alpha and asked;
"Christian? Is everything okay?"
"Don't worry about it. Everything okay"
Christian stands up from his chair, turn around and head out there before he could walk away from the kitchen area he suddenly felt the overwhelming pain in his abdomen in which make him fall unconscious on the ground.
An hour later Christian wake up groggy that accompanied by a dull pain in his abdomen and a slight headache.
"Why am I here?"
"You can't go anywhere yet, not now,"
"You can't move yet Alpha, not until you gain your strength," said the doctor.
"I'm okay there's no need for all of this," said Christian again as he tried to stand up for the second time yet both times stopped by his mother and the pack doctor;
"No your not alpha, you barely eat and drink for weeks and all you do is neglect your duty and your health while chasing after your mate who by now might be out there living her own life happily,"
Not liking the way the doctor talk about his mate, Arlo emerge and growls at the doctor who tilted her head submissively;
"You fucking dare talk bad about my mate!"
"No al-alpha, I-I just want you to be in good condition before you fi-find your mate again,"
In a threatening manner Arlo growls lowly directed at the doctor;
"If I heard anything bad coming out from your mouth about my mate, I will personally kill you myself,"
Beo at that time, come right on the scene in front of him as he too uses his Alpha father tone to calm his son down;
"That's enough Arlo, can you please bring Christian back? We need to talk to the both of you"
"Okay, daddy" reply Arlo as he gives Christian back his body while Beo take his seat next to his wife;
"Explain to him doc,"
"Alpha, your health is deteriorating right now. You did not eat and drink as what your body needs and if this keeps up alpha, I'm sorry to say that you will die"
"I know"
"So please Christian, Arlo. Take good care of yourself first, we will help you find your mate once you're okay" said Accalia as she holds Christian/Arlo's hand.
"Okay"
"Good boy, now get lots of rest. The faster you regain your health the faster we can track your mate down"
"Okay"
Christian without any strength in his voice quickly ask;
"Doc, before you leave do you have any idea on why before I fainted right I felt this enormous pain in my abdomen?"
"There are 2 reasons for it and I hope it's not the latter. First, it's probably because of your sudden stop in your food intake and thus making your body went to a shock and the second one is, it might be related to your mate"
"Explain more on the mating part,"
"If alpha hasn't marked his mate in which I presume in this case Alpha did and already bite Lune that explains why Alpha can feel his mate's pain and for an alpha to feel this pain, it must be a massive pain on Luna side that she couldn't help but to unconsciously share it with her mate"
Explain the doc in which makes Arlo go feral. Arlo unconsciously went mad and transform as soon as he registers the information, in which it takes his father and 3 other high-rank werewolves to contain him.
As soon as the sedative goes through his bloodstream Arlo shut down and welcome darkness as he growls loudly in his head cursing Christian and him for not being able to protect his mate.
That past few month was tough for both Christian and Arlo as they were being forced to focus on gaining their strength and getting their head on his pack and business work.
Every once or twice in a week Arlo and Christian will head over to the dungeon and torture the living shit out of his enemy just so he can be at ease as she is the reason why they're in this position.
"Why don't you just kill me you coward alpha" spit Blair towards Arlo direction.
Christian who was feeling dead inside slowly pushes his dagger lodging in her thigh as he said;
"Why? Just so you can be happy in the afterlife?"
Blair keeping her scream in gritted her teeth in a weak tone she mutter;
"You are stupid and weak,"
Without feeling shame nor denied it, Arlo looked at her direct to her eyes and stated the fact;
"I am"
Before he slit her throat open then jab a few towards her abdomen while releasing his anger as her stomach open wide spilling all of her intestines on the floor before he walks out from that place.
Arlo who was still in control runs over to the woods while shredding his clothes in the process, taking a quick dip, washing the dirty blood off from his body before he walks back to the mansion.
Christian, who witness first-hand how Arlo felt and his action, asked; "What are we going to do now?"
But all he gets is just grunts while Arlo ignores his words and existence.
It's been five years now since the last rage when he cut Blair open and it's been 5 years since Arlo pushed Christian down as he take control of their body. He kept Christian lock at the back of his mind with force.
"Arlo, stop being a dictator. It's been almost 5 years now"
Arlo who was getting weaker every single year stopped arguing with him as his will to stay alive started to fall apart. He take a deep breath and said; "I know and I'm almost done" as he shut down their mind link.
Talking to Christian often angers him but luckily Arlo has a place in his heaven as he quickens his steps and heads towards the bedroom in which is the only room that can contain his anger or rage.
He quickly take shower before plopping on top of the bed that was covered with his mate's scent in which slowly change into his scent.
With a broken raw voice, Arlo said;
"Goddess, please. Please give back my mate to me, it's almost 5 years now"
As he gives back their consciousness to Christian who quietly listen to his wolf's plead as he goes back keeping himself quiet.
That day and like most of the previous days, weeks, months and years both Arlo and Christian will sleep only at Karol's old rental house as it still has a lingering scent of their mate in which keep their sane and anger calm.
It's been hell and heaven at the same time, heaven feeling to them as they manage few times track her down and knowing her location but hell when they saw their mate's leaving them behind again and again, over and over.
