Chapter 13
15AIG’S POV
We have been in this forest for the last thirty six hours, searching for any sign of my mate, Sarah.
Before yesterday, her name meant nothing to me. Now it means everything. If I can’t find her, I will never have a wife or a child. If my parents were expecting grandchildren of pure angel blood, they will really be disappointed.
I came here with hope of finding her lost somewhere, injured, but alive. But I have been searching since yesterday, not alone but with thousands of
Pack members.
I haven’t taken a break to eat or sleep. I wonder if wherever she is, she got something to eat, something to keep her warm.
After that mob assaulted her, she was locked in the pack cells for days without food or treatment. When I visited her cell, I could see that some of her limbs were broken. She had so many gaping wounds, most infected because of laying exposed in that cell.
I am scared to think of what she is like now
She was still hungry and untreated when Tony dropped her down that abyss. Could she have survived drowning despite the broken limps
If I admit she is dead, I feel like the pain will kill me. So I am keeping up the relentless search, day and night.
Your Majesty, the King wants to see you. I hear Doreen’s voice behind me.
I haven’t seen my parents since I left the palace yesterday, 1 spent a full night and a whole day flying over this forest. One would think that with a bird’s eye view, there isn’t a thing below one can’t see.
“Tell my father to wait. I haven’t found Sarah yet,” I answer
“You have to go back to the palace, some guests arrived and your father demands your presence.” She informs
“What kind of guests
*Alpha Robert Johnson of the Red Moon Pack. He came with a beautiful looking girl, she doesn’t look like his daughter but they seem to treat her with a lot of respect Doreen answers,
“I still don’t see a reason for me to go back, my father can handle guests” I say dryly.
“I don’t care about the guests, it’s you O am worried about, you need to take some food and at least sleep for a few hours. Doreen urges,
I know she is trying to look after me, but food or sleep isn’t the most important thing to me now. Because if Sarah isn’t found alive, enjoying those things will be hard for the rest of my life. How can I live knowing that I caused the death of my mate! Without her, I will never have a family like every other man.
“Do you think Sarah has had anything to cat, do you think she can sleep with all the pain?” I ask Doreen. I want her to understand why I don’t need any of those things right now.
“So you want to starve yourself because you think she hasn’t eaten?”
“You don’t get it. She must be in a very critical condition, every minute of this search matters a lot.” I say.
“The only way Sarah can have survived is if someone rescued and took care of her. She is not still hungry because she could be dead if she was. You should send some of your men to search all homes near the river tomorrow” Doreen advises.
Wow! The woman got brains. But I wonder who would be hosting her until now without informing me.
“Let’s go now, please don’t be stubborn! She pleats.
I nod and follow her. Hope she is right about Sarah having been rescued.
I find my mother setting the dinner table. She rarely cooks unless she is up to impressing me by making my favorite dish. I don’t feel like there could be anything more delicious than a living Sarah right now.
She looks up and sees me, there is a shock in her eyes. “My God! Honey, you look like someone had buried you! Hurry and clean up father sees you like that. He may not want you to go back there tomorrow.” She mutters.

Chapter 13
“There isn’t much time for me to be wasting, Mom. I feel like my soul will die too if I don’t find her alive.” I say honestly.
She leaves the table and approaches me.
“I think what our prophetess said is Sarah cannot die before she marries you. Relax! You will find her, it doesn’t have to be today.” She says forcing me to turn in the direction of the bathrooms. “Clean up then join us for dinner, we got guests.
I go all the way to my own bathroom which is attached to my bedroom. I take a quick bath, change my pants and walk back to the dining room. There are three more people seated around the table apart from my parents.
One is Alpha Robert Johnson, I know him because he has been here a couple of times seeking to be allies with this kingdom. But the man just as barbaric as his dead father, his way of thinking is savage and self–centered
The second person is his Beta who is simply psychotic. He is the man credited for executing all the mad rules that Johnson sees fit to the government his poor pack members.
Then there is the third person who is shamelessly drooling at me. A young girl with white, curly hair that has been carefully styled. She is in a white, strapless dress that is too tight on her thin frame,
Mother purses her lips in disdain when she sees her the girl gawking at me.
“You did not put on a shim, are you planning on going back to the forest tonight!” Father asks. His voice is laced with disapproval.
“He is going to sleep until tomorrow. Don’t worry, our angel won’t die of lack of sleep” Mother cells him. “Take a seat Dear.” At least the only empty seat is between my parents.
“Your Highness!” The girl rises and quickly bows her head. “I am so delighted to meet you! I have heard a lot of admirable praises about you.” She says with a smile and extends her hand for a handshake.
Urgh! I don’t feel like touching strangers right now. In fact, I don’t feel like seeing people that don’t understand my predicament.
“Nice to meet you too!” I ignore her hand and sit
Still smiling, she sits back down and carries on watching me.
“Son, I know you’re stressed and tired, but I still would like you to hear what Alpha Johnson is here to discuss. You may like it.” F
Father speaks.
Mother serves us French fries and pieces of chicken meat, putting a lot in my plate. It is strange that I haven’t felt hungry even after skipping so many meals when I am used to eating every one of them. The panic inside is enough to keep me full for very many days
“Good evening, Isaic!” Alpha Johnson says with a smile. I simply nod at his greeting.
“I heard the bad news about your mate shifting into a werewolf on her nineteenth birthday. I am so sorry!”
“She wasn’t my mate. I state
“Yeah, I heard that too. But people say that your real mate had been quise injured before drowning. I hope she didn’t die. But I brought you this beauty in case you are unlucky to not find her alive. Heren is an angel and is not mated to anyone.” The man says. “Please show the Prince your wings, Heren!”
The girl rises and steps away from the table. She looms eager to show off. She aims an enticing smile at me as huge wings shoots out from her back. If she thought I would be impressed by that, I feel sorry for her. I ain’t in the mood. Besides, her face is nothing close to being as innocently stunning as Sarah’s
“See, isn’t she adorable!!” Alpha Johnson and his better cheers and craps.
“If you are not lucky to find your lost mate, you can take Heren, she is a good girl and the most beautiful of all female angels in all kingdoms.” The Beta says. “All my Alpha asks is you accept us as allies”
I feel like tearing this two lunatics apart. They think I wanted some other girl to replace Sarah?! Just because the blonde has wings doesn’t mean I would want her. She is not my mate, neither is she beautiful like they say. Johnson seeks alignment so we can help him out whenever he mismanages his pack and disasters arise.
I wonder what the angel is interested in since I am not her mate. Johnson and his Beta are mad men, no use trying to reason our with them. So I turn to my father.
This is what you called me for! I abandoned my pack members in that forest to come and be presented with a fake mate!!” ]
“Son, what do you think happens if you don’t find Sarah What if the prophetess is wrong and she is actually dead?
Cold him.
Chapter 13
uding if she is alive!” Father says.
Almost every park member has been in that forest to most two days now, Where do you think she could be hiding if she is emotionlessly.
What! You said that-”
“You need to start moving on, son. You’ll need children. I am not sure but I think Heren can bear you some since she is an angel too.
*He says with finality. “You can spend some days searching for Sarah, but if she is not found, Heren will still be here waiting for you. But be careful because she can get mated to someone else anytime.
“I will always wait for him. My mate is probably going to be younger than me. I don’t want that. I would rather wait for your son to fall in love with me, I will do my best to impress him!” The girl says.
“Good girl! I see you will make a great queen” Father compliments.
I am so irritated that I rise and storm out of the room. I find my way out of the palace and take a flight to the house I built for Irene and her family.
It used to be the exquisite house I had built to shelter my mate, now it’s the hell that my true mate suffered. She had a roof over her head, but had nothing else every member of my kingdom has,
She should have been paid for the work she did, but she got nothing. My mate was a slave, the only one in the whole kingdom. She must hate me for having allowed it. I will have to apologize to her for a lot of things.
I walk into the house and start heading for Sarah’s tinny room in the basement. It is the only place may still be retaining her scent
The maids that worked for Irene scurries away once they see me. I will have to fire them. I can’t have them serve Sarah when all they have been doing is mock her.
“Your Highness!!” Irenes mother emerges from her bedroom in a very luscious nightgown. Her face is however stained with tears.
“You’re still here?” I
irritated by the sight of her.
“Where else can we go? We sold our former home after moving here. I wish I knew the horror that this place had in store for us. She mourns.
For what did to my mate, I will make sure your horror won’t be ending soon” Snap at her. “You stay here while everyone else searches for Sarah, she is your daughter and you wouldn’t even waste a second finding her. You should know that I won’t fail to have your evil daughter hanged to death if I don’t find Sarah!”
“Please don’t say that! She regreis what she dad already!” The woman cries even more. But how many times did the make Sarah cry?
“And if I find her, the will be the one to decide whether her tormenters dies or lives the rest of their lives in the pack cells,” I add and walk away from her. I hear her loud cries even when I lock the door to Sarah’s room behind me.
