With Dylan went missing for more than the last twenty-four hours, Rico almost curse all warriors and things around him. He curse the warrior for being useless still have not found their king. And getting mad at the things around him for being in his way. And other unrealistic things to get mad for. He act like girls having period cramps and unstable hormone. He really act like an asshole.
After all, if anything happen to Dylan, he is the one to fill in his position for temporarily. He need to take charge of making any decision regarding the kingdom and take the lead to find Dylan. Be it alive or dead, they need to bring his body back. He really hope it is the former. He have never imagine of working other alpha king other than Dylan. He will never agree. If possible he will resign his position and live far away from everyone.
"Andy, what the current situation we have? How the border control? Any new information? Any trace found? Please. Just please give me something good to hear. How come nobody found him yet?"
Andy just keep silent. And it make Rico's temper increase. He slam his hand hard on the table to release his frustration at the same time curse all the thing happen.
"Damn it. Shit. F*ck it. Where are you Dylan? Show yourself. Be safe and come back. Just give us any hint that you are alive. A clue to find you. Oh God."
"Sir Rico, you need to send messages to the pack and the former king. The situation seems weird. We need some ideas and plan. We are in the brink of war and the alpha king went missing. We need another batch of warrior as a back-up.
"Yeah. I know that. But if possible I want to send after we at least found him. We might make the pack members and the former ruler worried and restless without the powerful king. It will impact their company too. Our kingdom might face new threat from other country and from those who want to take over throne. Did the alpha of Blood Moon pack know about the current situation?"
"Yes. He know about it. He said he will send his pack warrior to help find the king. Those who waiting for the next instructions are the uninjured and those who have light injury.
"Good. Now, I want to divide the warriors into four team with twenty member each. One team will guard the border and another one to search for the king. The team of warrior will change their shift every twelve hours."
"Yes, Sir Rico. I will do that."

The situation continue for almost the next five, the former king and queen were anxious all the time waiting for their son. They can't sit on the same place for a long time. It was as if the sit will burn their butt if they sit for long. They can't even have sleep. The nightmare keep coming visiting them every night as if they already loss Dylan.
When both of them decide to leave for the Blood Moon pack to look for Dylan themselves, there were a lot of people tried to stop them. As there border of the kingdom at the Blood Moon pack is still not safe. There will be war anytime soon. Their people and pack members worried about the safety.
The former Queen cried every night in the embrace of the former King. She keep asking for good news every five to ten minutes. She almost loss her mind waiting for new information from the warriors that have been task to find him. It all went in vain.
"Darling, what should we do? It has been five days. There still no news on Dylan's whereabouts. Can't we do something? Can't you?" Ask the former queen in her quavering voice. Her face getting gaunt everyday as the stress and sleepless night she had to wait for good news. Her usual plump body getting thinner as she lost her appetite to eat where her mate only success persuade to for a few spoon of congee. She force herself to swallow the congee and drink some water to have some energy while waiting.
"Dear, please be patient. There is nothing we can do. Nothing. I already sent our best warriors and best tracker to search for him. We need to wait for them to trace him. I believe in the beta, Rico. He is our only hope to handle the problems there. He will find Dylan soon. Just pray to the Moon Goddess that he will be fine." Said the former King to his mate patiently.
When his mate hear it, she sobbing even more. Tear drop rolled down her cheek even faster. All the former king can do to calm his mate is hug her in a tight embrace till drowsiness visited them both.
