Alpha Damon's Greatest Regret
Chapter 113- Something Is Not Right

Chapter 113: Chapter 113- Something Is Not Right

Carlos’ Pov

I had never thought that everything would be this difficult.

I was thinking I would just follow the map and get where she was and tell her everything that had happened that it was all a mistake and plead on behalf of Damon but I guess things were not like it was.

I signed as I drove to the pack, my mind filled with thought and I wondered how Damon would take this news. It would definitely break him apart considering that he just still going through that sickness that I don’t even know of its history and how it got to him.

Damn.

I felt so much pity for Damon seeing him go through what he didn’t know.

And I was also sure that someone was leaking private information that should be kept private about the Alpha and I didn’t like it one bit.

It was bad of whoever was doing that.

Exhaustion weighed me down like a heavy chain as I pulled into my driveway, the tires crunching against the gravel. Before I turned the key, the engine hummed beneath my fingers erasing the sound and leaving only the eerie silence of the night.

I had arrived late, not intentionally but because I had had a lot of difficulty trying to find her and it broke me.

Zarah was a good person and sincerely she didn’t deserve all of this.

I didn’t know if I should just call this fate or something else.

For a moment I sat there in my car, holding onto the steering wheel, and gazed at my house’s dark outline in blankness.

The lengthy trip left my body and mind in excruciating pain. But no matter how exhausted I was, I knew that tonight would not be a simple night’s sleep for me, I still had to wake up early and let Damon know of my findings.

Zarah was gone Likewise her son too. The son of Damon. I leaned my head back against the seat and exhaled slowly.

This would break Damon so much

I had spent weeks trying to find them, following up on every tip and rumor about her whereabouts. And when I finally believed I was getting close when I arrived at the tiny town where she had been hiding and she disappeared.

Not just for a few hours or whatever.

Gone.

Forever.

The cleanliness was excessive. Too ideal. No odor, no personal items abandoned, and no indication of a hasty departure. Someone had given her assistance. Someone with experience and knowledge.

But how could this have happened so suddenly, without any notice?

The weight of failure squeezed tight against my ribs. How in the world was I going to tell Damon? I let out a sharp breath and pushed my fingers away from the steering wheel before getting out of the vehicle.

The quiet was nearly oppressive and the night air felt cool against my skin. I looked around slowly. It was silent and the houses were dark. The majority of the pack had already gone to bed and their houses were silent under the streetlights.

I exhaled and walked slowly to the door.

I don’t know why everything just feels so fishy.

Well, time was what I needed.

I visit Damon tomorrow. I’d tell him everything tomorrow. After unlocking my front door and climbing the porch steps I entered the dimly lit room. It was silent and I didn’t care I loved it that way

My shoulders were tense so I shrugged off my jacket and dropped my bag close to the door. Normally the smell of my home would have been reassuring but tonight it just felt. . . empty.

Sighing, I walked to the kitchen, picked up a glass, and filled it with water. Despite my steady hands, I was anything but composed on the inside.

Damon was more than just my Alpha. He was the person I knew best. My brother in every significant way. Additionally, I had assured him that I would bring his son and mate home and I had failed.

With a clenched jaw, I sipped water slowly. Is he going to blame me? No.

Damon had many traits including being ruthless, cunning, and intolerant of weakness but he also was understanding and not quick to pass judgment on someone.

He would know I had taken all the necessary steps.

That wouldn’t make it any simpler though. His mate. His son. Gone. Something deep within me was twisted by the knowledge. They had already been lost by Damon again and he might never see them again, that was harsh but it was the truth.

He had just begun to think he might be able to get them back when they slipped out of our grasp once more.

I put a hand to my face and leaned against the counter. This didn’t sit well with me. . . For weeks Zarah had been in that town. Months perhaps. Why go now? Why vanish as soon as I was near?

Did she know I was coming? She was warned. by someone? A wave of coldness swept through my chest at the thought.

Was there something that I was missing perhaps?

Surely there had been. My pulse was pounding as I pushed away from the counter and ran a hand through my hair.

Zarah’s running wasn’t the only thing involved. She was assisted by someone who helped her move within the shortest period.

Someone who was familiar with our pack and Damon and who possessed the means to completely eradicate any evidence of her presence. But who?

And that had one meaning.

There was more to come.

Though my instincts were already on high alert I tried to calm myself by taking another sip of water. It made no difference how tired I was.

The uneasiness that was creeping into my bones was too strong to ignore. Damon’s reunion with his family was not desired by anyone. And I was going to find out who it was. But I needed to sleep first.

With each step, my body protested as I made my way to the stairs. I’m going to Damon tomorrow. I would tell him all about it. After that, we would set fire to anything that got in our way.

Because if there was one thing I knew about Alpha Damon it was this. He took betrayal very seriously.
