"It's your fucking fault he kicked us out all those months ago and now we have no fucking clue where the hell he is!" I was pissed, Keith had the nerve to blame me for Ashton leaving like he did.

"If you weren't such a dick and basically forced it out of me to tell him, we would have been in his life and maybe he would have told us he was leaving in the first place!" He yelled back and he may be my boyfriend but I am his Alpha above all else and I won't put up with the disrespect.

"Maybe we should take a break, this isn't working out for either of us so maybe you should pack your stuff and move into one of the rooms in the packhouse and we take a break." I said, feeling like giving up on everything.

He stopped everything and looked at me like he was going to cry.

"No, I won't let you do this. I won't let you push me aside and face this alone."

"Keith, I think it's best if you two spend some time apart right now. Your emotions are high and you're both stressed so some time apart would do you both some good." Gregory said and Keith sighed, walked out of my office and slammed the door behind him.

"We'll find him Matthias, we will." Ajax said sitting down beside me on the couch. He and our other friends arrived a few days ago to help with finding Ashton. I know they have their own packs to run but I appreciated them coming so much.

"I know he's safe and I know he's not sleeping with anyone so there's that. I just don't know who that man was or where Ashton went. It's like he just disappeared. I checked the cameras from here to the airport in all different directions because I had them installed all over the pack territory and since Nashville is in the heart of the territory, I figured checking the cameras would be a good idea and I found him but lost him." I said and got up to go to my laptop turned on the videos of Ashton going to the airport but lost him when he entered through security because the man took him into a room that has an exit and they never came back out.

"Ok so do you know if he got onto a private plane or on one at the airport?" Gregory asked.

"Private jet. Satellite images show one jet leaving around the same time he went into that room. Ten minutes later at most. I don't know where it went though." I said and kept looking at my angel on the screen, wishing he was here.

"Ok what do you want us to do?" Ryker asked and they all looked at me.

"Send as many warriors as you can to look for him. I printed out his picture for each of you to take and pass around along with a hoodie he wore so his scent is on it. Please don't lose the hoodie, it's the only thing keeping me semi sane right now." I handed Gregory the hoodie along with a photo of Ashton and the other's grabbed one as well and Gregory passed the hoodie around and they all took Ashton's scent in and handed it back to me until their warriors showed up.

"We sent word back home so everyone will be here within a couple of hours or so." Ajax said once he spoke with the other's and I sighed.

"How long do I have all of you for?" I asked them.

"As long as you need us, we’re not going anywhere.” Gregory said and they all agreed.

“Ok, thank you guys. Let’s go get some food and we’ll head out.” I said so we went to the dining room and had lunch, just us since the pack had already eaten.

Once we were finished eating, we went to start our search for Ashton. I just hope it doesn’t take a long time to find him, wherever he may be.

“Where are we going first and who is going where?” Ajax asked and I thought about this already.

“I am going to head west with a few warriors, you Ajax head south, Gregory, head north, Jacob, you Ryker, and Ryder head east. We will check in once a day and see where we are.” I said and they all nodded and each with a group of warriors gathered around.

“Contact your warriors to tell them where to head to, they all can go anywhere with us or in their own groups, as long as they split up.” I added and with that we all headed out.

A few days later Ajax contacted me saying his mates were back and he didn't know if he should go home or stay and help me since I found Carter but I told him to go, he needs to talk to his mates because he has confided in me how he really feels and has been feeling so I told him to go home. I told him to take it one step at a time and if he has to, walk away and come back later to talk because that boy is hurting and I hate to see that.

Over the past month we haven't had any luck and my friends had to go home, Jacob left after one weekend because he still had school but they all promised to come back and help every other weekend even if it's just them with a few warriors but also promised that they will still keep up the search for Ashton from home.

I miss my mate and Hati is slowly losing his mind, he's constantly growling or whimpering, wanting out to go on the hunt himself to find Ashton but he can't, we have no idea where the hell he is. With all of us and so many warriors searching we have had no luck on the east coast so I'm going to have to search the west and other countries soon.

"Matthias?" I sighed as I heard Keith call my name and looked up from my desk to see him standing there looking so helpless. I felt my heart ache at the sight of him and put my arms out and he came in my office, shut the door and walked over to me. He crawled up my body and sat on my thighs as he buried his face in my neck and curled his legs up onto me.

"I'm sorry." He whispered and I felt my neck getting wet and knew he was crying. I rubbed his back in soothing circles and kissed his temple as my hold on him tightened.

"I'm sorry too. I know it's hard on you as well as it is me and we don't need to be blaming one another and having this distance, we need to be strong for one another and for our mate. I love you Keith, please don't give up on me." I said and he sniffled and looked up at me from my neck and smiled a watery smile that just broke my heart.

"I'll never give up on you Matthias, I love you way to fucking much to give up on you." He said and kissed me and God how I missed how his big plump lips felt against mine.

"Please Matthias, I want you so bad. I am aching for you, to feel you deep inside me, filling me up and stretching me out." He said as he kissed from my jaw up my neck, back down all while he put his hand under my t-shirt feeling my abs and I gotta admit, it feels amazing and I wanted him too.

I cupped his ass and sat him on my desk as I pulled down his sweats and briefs and his hard cock sprung free, waiting for me to do as I pleased.

The next few hours I let myself get lost in the feelings Keith brings out as I fucked him all over my office, not caring at the moment about anything else except reconnecting with Keith to build our bond again because the month we spent apart almost broke it.

As the months passed, I was starting to lose all hope of finding Ashton. It is taken a lot longer to find him than when we were looking for Carter and I felt discouraged and Hati has officially gone into hiding, not even wanting to run anymore and that isn't like him at all.

"Baby wake up." I heard Keith but I didn't wanna open my eyes. I got amazing sleep after a wonderful night with Keith that I wanted to stay in bed and just enjoy my bubble before I have to face the day of no sightings of Ashton which will bring my mood down like always.

"Come on, we gotta eat and continue to look for Ashton." His words woke me up and I sat up and stretched while yawning.

"Mm goodness you are so sexy in the mornings." Keith said and kissed my chest and worked his way up to my neck making me moan.

"Stop, we gotta eat and continue to look for Ashton." I repeated his words and he stopped and kissed my cheek. I kissed his and went to take a shower before heading downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Good morning Alpha Matthias." My Beta Lakyn greeted me as I sat down at the head of the table.

"Good morning. Any news since yesterday?" I asked and a plate was put in front of me and he handed me an envelope with no return address but with a fancy wax seal symbol to seal it.

"Someone came into one of your restaurants and thankfully handed it to a pack member so it was handed to me last night when they got back from work."  I excused myself and went to my office to open it.

Once I sat down I studied the seal to see if I recognized it but I didn't. I had never seen it before anywhere in any book I had read or learned from anywhere. I carefully opened it and a couple pieces of paper fell out and I picked them up and opened one, the nice handwriting was so elegant, almost too pretty to be someone's writing.

"Matthias,
I don't know if this letter will reach you or if it will get lost in the mail somewhere along the way but I wanted to reach out to you. My name is Asher Cooke, Ashton's father. I know that has to raise a lot of questions for you but there isn't time to answer them right now.

For the past few months Ashton has been feeling sick and has been in unimaginable pain that he had to go to the hospital because we couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He tried to hide how he was feeling but with his symptoms of headaches, nausea, vomiting, blurred or double vision, dizziness, seizures, trouble walking or handling objects, and other symptoms, it got to be too much so the doctors ran every test imaginable and Matthias, he has brain cancer.

He told me of you and another gentleman named Keith when I asked if he had anyone he wanted to see before he got too sick where he wouldn't remember anyone so I'm asking you, please come see my son before he passes. He has maybe a few weeks left. The cancer is all over his brain and has spread to most parts of his body that the treatment plans they have come up with are making him even weaker and more sick.

I just got my son back and he's going to die, I can't face this alone. My wife is so depressed and out of touch with reality. She stays by Ashton’s side and begs to all the Gods out there to save our son. I try my best to comfort her but it doesn't do much.

The other reason I'm reaching out to you is because I know you're a werewolf and the only reason why my son would know something so sacred is if he was your mate. If he is then I know you can save my son so please, you have a King on his knees begging you to come save my Prince Ashton from his death. I will do anything you wish as a way to repay this favor if you see fit. We are in a small country, Dormar and I will leave my contact information for you to call me when you have a flight out so I can have someone at the airport for you when you arrive, if you do that is and if I know anything about mate’s, you won’t let yours die without doing all you can that medicine can’t.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

The King of Dormar, Asher Cooke

I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t move an inch. Ashton is dying? Hati was howling in pain and worry for our mate and it alone brought more tears to my eyes. I looked at the other piece of paper and it was Asher’s contact information and so with that in hand and the letter, I left my office in a hurry to go find Keith.

“Keith!!” I yelled when I ran outside to find him at the training grounds with a few warriors, getting ready to go out on another search.

“What is it?” He asked when I stopped in front of him and handed him the letter. I watched as he read it and saw tears falling out of his eyes and he looked up at me, nodded and we both ran into the packhouse. I called Gregory and told him what I found out and he said he will send his jet right away so I don’t need to worry about airports right now.

While we waited, we packed for at least a couple of weeks. I have no idea how long we will be gone but that didn’t really matter, my mate was sick and he needed me.

“We’ll save him, no matter what it takes.” Keith said as we took our seats on the jet after it arrived a little bit ago. Gregory and Ajax along with their mates and kids were with us, supporting us and keeping us together for the time being.

I have no idea what to expect when we arrive or what kind of condition Ashton is in but he will live, be healthy, and have a life full of happiness and love that he deserves, no matter what.
