Kian pov
I was prepaid for it to take some time, reaching back to the castle it is a bit over two hours and hopefully, they have managed to get in touch with some of the other alphas In my absence. Reaching the castle doors I push them open and walk inside.
Making my way over to my office I hear several voices talking loudly and one of them is Cannon. He is frustrated and I don't like the sound of it.
Walking into my office I see them all standing over the table and looking at her notes.
"what's the matter?" I ask them and all heads look up from the table and over to me.
Declan takes a seat by the table.
"We have all got information from the Alphas we got a hold of, and we have compared their missings of pack members and her notes. We found a connection to their activity at the cave when members have disappeared!" he says and that information doesn't sound good.
"We need the rest of her notes!" my dad says and I try to mindlink her again but still nothing. Now I'm starting to get worried. Looking between Cannon and Declan.
"she doesn't pick up the mindkink can you try to contact your mates? She will have to explain herself if she went against her promise!" I say to them and Cannon is fast on his way over to the door with Declan close after him. I guess they are as worried as me right now. Could she have gone against her promise?
I sigh at the thought! She is more stubborn than anyone else I have ever met and it wouldn't surprise me.
"I bet she is fine, just occupied with something!" my dad says. Turning my head to look at him.
"I have never met anyone as stubborn as her and hellbent on taking care of everything herself. She makes me furious sometimes!" I say and pinch the bridge of my nose when I hear them laugh.
"oh! I no one just like her" my dad says and look at me.
"you have always been like her and especially when you were about to take over the pack. You were hellbent on doing everything by yourself. It took some time for you to accept everyone needs allies and help once in a while. She is a new alpha with no one who has been there to guide her. You were born into this and have had years of practice. You can't force her to do it your way! Take a step back and guide her instead! Be the mate and rock for her to lean against and I can guarantee you will have her by your side eventually" my dad says
Taking a step back and lean against my office desk while I let his words sink in. I know he is right!
Just can't have her running around outside her borders with all the rogues there, while I'm not there and can keep her protected!
"did you get in contact with everyone and when will the meeting take place?" I ask instead of commenting on his speech.
" There are two packs we haven't reached yet! The others could be here in a couple of days!" his Beta says and it sounds good to me.
"do you have a number of missing pack members?" I ask them while pushing off the desk and walking over to where they stand and look at her notes.
"Here! We wrote down the dates and numbers of those packs that had their registration close. The others would fix it and bring it with them when they arrive here!" my dad hands me their notes and I know this will take a while to have sorted.
"how many of her notes matches missing pack members?" I ask and take a notebook.
"We have been able to match half of the latest missing people with her notes. We were about to go through the rest when you came walking in." his gamma says and I take a seat by the table and take a note and start to go through her book again.
"then give me something to do, I need a distraction!" Cannon says.
"try and get a hold of the two last Alphas!" I say and write down the two names we are missing. One of them live close to our pack and it was between our both packs we found the fresh trace of rogues. He takes the note and looks at it before giving it back and heading towards the door.
"And you are going where?" I ask before he reaches the door.
"I'm running over to the pack next to us! Be back in less than two hours" he says and gets out of the door. I believe him when he shut the door close after him.
Sitting back in my seat a thought cross my mind.
"What?" Declan asks when I drag my hand down my face.
"do you remember when Sari told her there were people missing in her sister's village, and she would call the next day when she reached over there? That would be today!" I say to him and see him sit right up in his seat.
"No! You don't think they would be going there without letting us know!" he says and now even he is worried
"That's exactly what I think!" I say and get over to the map. Trying to remember where she showed me the village was located when I feel Declan by my side. Finding the location I place a pin on the map and take a step back.
"if they are there and in trouble we are too far away!" he says and I have come to the same conclusion.
