CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE

Beta Lucas' POV

It's been long minutes after Lord Hendrix left my room when I informed him of Alpha Natalie's absence. 

The Beta side of me wanted to go after him and search for Natalie until we were certain she was safe and maybe wanted to be alone.

It's very late in the night and our alpha is nowhere to be found, and alpha Natalie is not one to disappear into the wild without anyone knowing of her whereabouts, not even Hendrix.

It called for alarm, but what if that was what she wanted? Privacy.

This thought makes me recede, coupled with the other side of me that truly wants to stay behind and calm Sasha's nerves down.

And I guess it's obvious I chose the second side of me which is my duty to be with my mate... Never have I ever got to choose between my responsibilities and love life, but right now, Sasha is my top priority.
