Two days later, in the afternoon...
It has been two days since Ezekhiel last saw his mate and he felt the urge to go and see her. And so, he decided to take a break from his work and went outside.
He looks like he was just casually strolling but in fact, he was searching for his mate.
Then, after strolling for a while, he noticed that he didn't seem to see his mate even for once. He almost went to every corner of their pack but still didn't saw his mate. He also tried tracking her using her sweet scent but he still didn't manage to see his mate.
Anxious, Ezekhiel tried searching for his mate around the pack again before going to her house. He knew this house of hers because it was quite in a corner of their pack where there's no other houses beside it, and when he asked his father about it, he told him that it was his mate's house.
Arriving at her house, he didn't have to barge in or to enter to know that his mate is not inside. Ezekhiel immediately went to his beta's house to asked Ethan if he knew where his mate's whereabouts.
Ezekhiel didn't bother knocking on their door and just barged in directly. When he went inside, he saw Ethan, sipping something from his cup while watching television.
Ethan was shocked to see someone just barging in at his house without even knocking, so he nearly choked on his drink.
"Oh, Zeke!"
Ethan said the moment he recovered from his shocked and saw Ezekhiel. He didn't know that Ezekhiel have this habit of just barging into someone else's house.
"Sorry for entering without your permission. It's just that i have something important to ask you."
Ezekhiel said to Ethan when he saw how shocked he was, probably because of the way he entered their house.
"Nah, it's okay, i was just shocked. Have a seat first and then tell me what that something important that you'll gonna ask."
Ethan invited and goes back to where he was previously sitting when he saw Ezekhiel sit.
"It's about my mate."
"Oh, what about Vie?" Ethan asked, curious about what Ezekhiel wanted to know about his niece.
Although his niece were cold, even to him, he can't bear to see his niece being targeted or pursued by men. He also knew that his niece was quite traumatised by what happened to her mother because she saw it with her own eyes.
Genevieve might not be traumatised seeing men but he knew, and saw the effect of what happened to her mother. So Ethan can now see the long road that Ezekhiel was about to take. He just hope that he can take it.
"Uh, you see, i haven't seen her since two days ago and so i decided to stroll around the pack to just atleast see her. But I've been going around the pack and i didn't see her nor smell her! I don't know where she is now. My wolf and I were anxious because we don't know where she is."
Ezekhiel explained to Ethan. That was what he's really feeling right now.
"Oh, she's not here?"
Ethan asked, rather calmly wich made Ezekhiel frown. Judging from Ethan's reaction, it seems like he was quite used to Genevieve, not being here. You can't see any other emotions in Ethan's face except calmness, even knowing that his niece was nowhere around their pack.
"Yeah."
"Oh, just let her be. It's not like anyone had the guts to kidnapped or mess with her. She's fine, she'll probably be back in the weekend." Ethan said. He thought that it was really, really something important judging by how anxious Ezekhiel was.
"Why? Do you know where she is?"
Ezekhiel asked. It seems like his mate really did this quite often because he didn't even see his mate's uncle panic. And he even said a time when his mate will be back.
"Hm, yeah. She's probably just exploring, or studying or at school." Ethan said.
He knew what his niece were usually doing but what he didn't know is her location except her school. He knew that his niece were finding some clues about the hunters that killed her parents, and at the same time, was studying.
His niece, were of course, still in school. She just turned 17 and was in her last year of college. Yeah, he know that it seems so early but what can he do? His niece was a smart ass.
"Studying? You mean, in school?"
Ezekhiel asked, in which, Ethan responded with a nod.
"Yeah, she was in her last year of college and will be graduating next year. And once you saw her achievements and awards, you'll probably doubt your life thinking if you're suitable to be with her haha!"
Ethan said half jokingly but with a proud face. Given by how his niece are, even though Ezekhiel was now the alpha, he didn't think that Ezekhiel was suitable for his niece, Genevieve.
He also knew about Ezekhiel's achievements and awards but, it was too far to even reach halves of his niece's. His niece were really making him, and her deceased parents, proud.
"Uh, can you tell me more about her?"
Ezekhiel asked. He knew that it'll be a long time before fully getting to know his mate, so he wanted to know even just a little bit about her. He even forgot that he was here earlier because he was anxious about not knowing where his mate is and not seeing her.
Ethan nodded. Though, he wouldn't really say all about his niece but, as a proud uncle, he ought to brag about his niece's intelligence.
Before he could even start, his wife, Lena, came in with a tray containing snacks and drinks for them to eat while talking.
"Here, seems like it'll be a long talk so i decided to bring you something to eat."
Ethan's wife, Lena said before putting down the things that's in the tray and arranging it at the table. She also went to get the tv's remote and turned down the volume so that her husband and Ezekhiel can hear each other when talking. She knew that it was useless since they have a wolf hearing but, it's not bad to turned down its volume when someone's talking.
After doing this, she then gets the tray and went back to the kitchen, but before that, she heard her husband shouting something which made her smile.
"Thank you, honey. I love you!"
Ethan thanked his wife and expressed his feelings for her before inviting Ezekhiel to eat. Ezekhiel get a piece of snack and a cup of drink before turning his attention to Ethan, who started telling him some stories about his mate.
