Santiago's Pov continues
“Come on, lighten up.”
“Santiago you don’t tell me what to do I tell everyone what to do not the other way round.”
I chuckle, “I’m not everyone, I’m Santiago and you don't play big bad Alpha with me. I know you inside out.”
“You know what I mean.” He snorts.
“Where do you want her?”
He pauses looking over his shoulder, “In the trash.” He deadpans, his answer is instant as if he was waiting on me to ask him just that. “I don’t care where you put her. ”
“Well then looks like I’m putting her in an uber and asking Alpha Ryan to receive her at the gates of his pack.”
“Dont tempt me Santiago.”
We finally make it to the bedrooms, both of us silent the entire way here.
“Put her in there.” He sighs.
I take a look at how not so spacious the room is and I refuse him. “I don’t consider it fit for her, you saw the room she had with Alpha Ryan.”
Adrian growls and I laugh. “Only place I see fit is your bedroom, the one where none of your whores have been. ”
“Are you done?”
“Let’s put her in the room next to everyone else’s since you don’t want anyone knowing she’s your mate.” I propose plainly off the top of my head.
Adrian nods in agreement and we go to the room I suggested.
“What are you waiting for to open the door?” He just stares at me, this used to be his sister’s room. I am hoping putting her in this room will give her the least bit of advantage over Adrian. He finally opens the door and I get in, Camilla is light in my hands but heavy in other hands that I’m sure of. I place her on the bed as Adrian glimpses around the room sadness plummeting into the deepest part of his bones. “I can still hear Catalina yelling at me for ripping off her doll’s head and Halsey laughing at us.”
“I miss them so much.” I sigh.
“I wish they never left.”
“They are in a better place now and just think Catalina would emulate your mate.” I joke trying to lighten the load of grief consuming us.
He grins sadly, “I’d never hear the end of it.” He takes a look at Camilla, “Even in her dreams, she’s vulnerable and anxious, looking like she’s shaking.” He sneers.
“She looks innocent and delightful, why wouldn’t she have a nightmare she met Alpha Adrian and his sweet Beta of course but the nightmare is about you particularly, I am not that ruthless.” I smile.
“Let’s get out of here.” He decides.
We leave and I lock the door, keeping the key with me since Adrian isn’t sane enough to keep it. “I wonder how the girls' study group went.”
Adrian laughs, “There was no study group they definitely went to a party, let me check on Moon and her lights.”
“Okay I will be in my room because I’ve given up on Racheal.”
He taps my shoulder, “I will check on both of them.”
The moment I toss myself on my bed, Adrian bursts in. “Hmmm so this is what it feels like when I burst into your bedroom?” I chuckle.
His eyes are wide. He licks his lips, “The girls are not here.”
I shoot up the bed, “Didn’t you find the address?” He asks. I reach for the paper on my bedside table they -
“Three, two, five, six. None of your business street.”
“Fuck!” Adrian growls.
“They were supposed to be here over three hours ago. You know what let me call that Raquel.”
I grab my phone and call Raquel, she has a soft spot for me. She doesn’t waste time giving me the address. When we get to the address, the music is loud, too loud. People start scattering when they behold us.
“Turn that shit off!” I snap, irritated that it’s morning and I haven’t had a chance to rest yet and tomorrow I will be forcing Adrian to deal with not just his mate but grounding these girls.
“I’m looking for two girls, too young to be out this late and in deep trouble once I find them. Has anyone seen them?” Adrian interrogates when the music is turned off and silence fills the room.
I roll my eyes, Adrian can be stupid sometimes. How is everyone supposed to guess what girls we’re looking for? “Dude, you need a better description.” I roll my eyes.
Everyone just glares at us as we speak. “Racheal and Mirabelle. Anyone seen them?”
Again, no answer.
“Who is the owner of this party?” Adrian growls pissed that he isn’t getting the response he expects.
Everyone directly points at the boy trying to flee, Adrian grabs him by the throat and in that moment, Rachel emerges from lord knows where.
“Hey.” She staggers back.
“Are you high and where the fuck is Mirabelle?” I snap.
“I don’t know she was with that cute boy Trey.” She grimaced.
Adrian searches the crowd with his eyes, “Who the fuck is Trey?”
A blonde boy steps forwards shrieking at the sight of Adrian. “I am Trey Alpha.” he admit’s. Adrian postures in front of him and he pees his pants, I shake my head this is the type of guy they snuck out for?
“Where is she?” He urges.
Trey gulps, stepping back to put distance between him and this devil. “She went upstairs with Xander a few minutes ago.”
Adrian nods at me and we go in search of Belle upstairs, we check two rooms first but she’s not in them. “I think it’s in here.” I say when her scent gets stronger.
I try the door but it’s locked, there’s no way I’m going in. Without thinking I slam my body into the door and it slumps to the ground with a bang, and there she is. When the door falls the guy she’s with lets her go, she is naked, her makeup smudged all over her face and she’s wailing through her tears.
Adrian heads straight for her when the guy tries to flee, I step in his way. “Where the fuck do you think you’re going kid?” I yank him by the throat and my jaw clenches, I feel my veins ready to spurt. Mirabelle is my little sister too, there is no blood relation but she is.
If I’d peg anyone for this scene we witnessed it would be Racheal or any of her cousins but not Mirabelle, she’s too smart to be caught up in this nonetheless here we are.
When I turn to Adrian and Mirabelle, she’s sobbing into his chest. “It’s okay Moon I’m here. We’re here, you're safe.” He assures her.
I tighten my grip on the fool’s neck before tossing him to the wall.
“Santiago.” Adrian warn's. Watching his body collide with the brick wall.
Right, not in front of her.
“Get her out of here, I will take care of him.”
I scoff, “No you go with Belle and I will bring him in for a full beating.”
“Come on Moon, and you when I’m done with you not even your bones will be recognizable.” He asserts turning to the guy bleeding on the white marble floor.
Once Adrian and Belle are out of sight, I take a few minutes to myself, punching the boy until he passes out. I carry him and toss him in the trunk of my car.
Mirabelle is in the backseat with a very high Racheal who seems to make a better shoulder to lean on than both Adrian and I incorporated.
She manages to make Mirabelle’s cries die out by preoccupying her with pointless bullshit only the two of them understand.
Getting to the pack house, Racheal sobers up a little and they get cleaned up, Belle is scared to sleep alone so Racheal offers herself to sleep with her despite the fact that they never sleep in one bed and we promise to keep watch.
