Chapter 27 - Emergency Visit

After the perfect day and night that Kane and I had yesterday, we now sadly had to head back home back to reality.

"I want him sentenced to death! I want him cooked for my dinner and I want him to be locked in a cold cell with killer cats everywhere!" Adam screams, charging at us both the minute we enter the house.

He looks like he didn't sleep very well...

"Your little Bear dog, or should I say little monster dog, which by the way I think his name should be permanently changed to monster since Bear is just too cute for an evil dog like him! didn't let me sleep in my own bed last night and every single time that I tried to get close to Claire the monster tried to bite and attack me! I had to sleep on the cold fucking floor whilst he lay beside my mate!" He outrages dramatically whilst me and Kane try our bests to hold in our laughs.

The next thing you know Bear himself appears in the hall, running towards us more excited than ever. He leaps into my arms licking my face uncontrollably causing Adam to roll his eyes.

When he settles down, he immediately turns to Adam and growls threateningly at him causing Kane and I to just burst out laughing at Adams enraged state.

"Oh is that how you want to play this pup?" Adam says to Bear angrily before we hear bones cracking and watch as Adam shifts into his wolf- which might I add is twice the size of Bear.

Bear leaps out of my arms barking at Adams wolf whilst Adam, this time, growls and barks right back in Bears face twice as loud.

Yes... Adam just actually shifted into his wolf just to scare away a tiny dog... and then he barked in Bears face... childish we know...

Bear runs off clearly scared before Adam runs into a near by room to shift back and put on some shorts.

He comes back out smiling victoriously whilst me and Kane give him death glares shaking our heads.

"Did you really have to traumatise our dog like that..." Kane huffs out at him causing Adam to roll his eyes.

"Why does Bear hate you? He was fine with you before?" I question him, knowing that there's more to this story than what Adam has said.

"Well uh... I was just trying to have a little joke with him..." He starts to say nervously.

"Spit it out." Kane demands causing him to cough and continue-

"I pretended to eat one of his treats yesterday and I guess Bear took it personal and now he hates me..." Adam suddenly rushes out feeling guilty for his trick.

"You probably did eat it... your more of a dog than he is." Kane suddenly blurts out, causing me to laugh hysterically and for Adam to storm off like a child.

"I hate you all!" He yells dramatically, leaving us both still laughing in the hall.

"Except you Claire... I love you." We hear him yell in the distance causing Kane and I to snort more with laughter.

What a wimp he is.

We continue into the house, receiving many 'congratulations' and 'good lucks' from the guards on our marriage proposal.

We enter the living area to see both Adam and Claire snuggled up on the sofa.

When Claire notices us, she squeals with excitement before leaping to her feet and rushing at me.

At first I flinch at her sudden movements but I soon relax realising she means no harm and that she's just excited.

"Congratulations guys! This is just so cute!" She squeals, whilst Adam sits huffing like a child.

"Why the hell are you congratulating them? So what if they had sex last night... it's about time!" Adam says sarcastically causing me to gasp and my cheeks to blush red.

How does he know? Is Kane telling everyone? Oh sweet lord why would he do that to me!

"H-How do you know?" I whisper out in embarrassment.

"Leoni don't worry... everyone can tell since your scents have mixed together now and there's no hiding the large crown mark that Kane has left on your neck..." Claire explains nervously with a laugh.

Oh... I haven't looked at my mark yet, I hope it's not too embarrassing.

"And anyway Adam! Quit being so rude and congratulate them on their engagement!" Claire huffs out angrily at him.

Adams eyes grow huge with shock at her words as he looks between the three of us to see if we are joking around or not. Since we all stare at him waiting for his reaction, he soon processes what Claire just said and he jumps to his feet in excitement and rushes at us.

"My babies! This is just far too exciting! I can't wait to be your best man cuz!" Adam squeals like a little girl as he hugs the both of us to him.

"Best man? You'll be lucky to get an invite!" Kane mutters out and I scowl at him in warning.

He just hates everyone other than me.

Adams face falls completely at Kane's words before he says- "Wait... so you aren't choosing me to be your best man?" He speaks sadly and I scowl at Kane some more for upsetting him.

"Jeez... it was a joke, I don't have anybody else that I like enough to fit the role do I? So yes Adam, that means you can be the best man." Kane mutters out, whilst Adam jumps excitedly on the spot.

"Yeah Claire you can be my maid of honour too!" I squeal happily as I watch her become extremely excited.

"Thank you so much Leoni!" She sequels along with Adam.

I mean I would have chosen Willow... but I guess she hates me now and the only other girl friend that I have now is Claire. Not that Claire is bad or anything it's just I can't understand why Willow hates me...

Kane notices my change in mood as I think back to all the good times that I spent with Willow.

"Babe what's wrong?" He questions me quietly, whilst Claire and Adam discuss the wedding.

"I uh... it's nothing Kane really." I say, deciding not to tell him since he will probably think I'm being silly for caring.

"Come with me." He says, as he leads us up to our room in silence away from everyone.

"Now speak. You don't have to hide how you are feeling around me... if it's about the wedding, or the attack, or the runt situation, I'll fix it so please just tell me what it is..." Kane encourages me softly, as I feel the tears build up in my eyes.

Why am I suddenly so damn emotional!

"It's just Willow... Kane I don't understand why she hates me all of a sudden!" I blurt out, as he holds me in his arms whilst I let the tears roll down my face.

"Shhh... angel it will be okay... something must be going on... why don't you give her a call?" He asks me softly.

"I-I can't call her... I don't think I can handle hearing her be mean to me... it's just too much to deal with since she used to be my only friend..." I cry out as Kane rubs my back soothingly.

"You need to be brave Leoni... I'll be right by your side when you call her and if things get out of hand then I'll handle it from there...but would you rather give it a shot or loose her forever princess?" Kane questions, making me realise that I don't just want to walk away from our friendship, we have been together for way too long!

"...Okay... I think I'll try and call her... but please stay with me..." I ask him sniffling and he nods.

"Let's call her from my office, that way I can keep the call recorded incase things get out of hand..." He explains whilst lifting me up and carrying me out of the room.

He always makes me feel so calm, I don't know how he does it really.

Once we arrive at his large office, he takes his seat behind the desk before placing me on his knee in front of the phone.

I dial in Willows phone number from my iPhone and wait for it to ring...

"Sorry... Your call cannot be taken at the moment..."

I hear the words say immediately, not even giving the phone a chance to ring once.

That must mean that her phone is switched off?

I begin to sob slightly, knowing that I've lost all hope of contacting her before Kane soon dials in a number and picks up the phone...

"Yes... Hello... it's the Alpha King... I demand to speak to Willow your sons mate immediately... thanks..."

Kane demands down the phone making me jump from his tone, I'm guessing he called the packs Alpha.

After about 5 minutes of waiting, the phone is passed to me by Kane and I nervously place it to my ear.

"Hello..." I say nervously into the phone.

"Leoni... uh hey... how have you been?" I hear Willows voice say suddenly. She's sounding rather strange... almost as if she's frightened.

"Yeah uh... I've been good... listen I just wanted to call to ask if we were still friends? Kane and I are planning to get married soon and I would love for you to be there... I... I just don't understand why you sent me that message but I'm sorry for whatever I've done to make you hate me..." I say down the phone, holding back my tears as much as I can.

"Don't apologise to her... you've done nothing wrong!" Kane mutters from beside me angrily whilst I beg him to quieten down incase Willow hears him.

"Look... uh... Leoni... I just don't think we can be... friends anymore... I... I just have stuff going on at the moment and... I'm so sorry." Willow speaks out shakily, breaking my heart before the phone line goes dead.

Something isn't right here... This isn't Willow...

"Kane something's not right, Willow isn't acting like herself!" I suddenly yell out in a panic.

What if she's in trouble.

"Babe calm down... listen if your so sure that something isn't right then why don't we pay her pack a little visit? We can even leave tonight if it makes you feel any better?" Kane offers making me nod and calm down slightly.

"Y-Yeah... thanks Kane that would mean a lot." I say kindly as we head back to our room.

I head straight for Kane's closet as we get to our room and i change into one of his oversized tops and sweat pants to wear in the car since it will be a long drive.

"Okay Leoni, I've just packed a couple of outfits and stuff for you to take, nothing major since we shouldn't be there long... we can drive there tonight and stay at a hotel nearby and then be at the pack first thing in the morning." Kane explains and I smile kindly at him.

"Go grab our toothbrushes and some shower stuff please whilst I pack a few other things." Kane asks and I happily slip on my last converse trainer before running into the bathroom to get the stuff.

I freeze on the way back out when I notice in the mirror, for the first time, the mark that Kane has left on my neck.

It was huge... but I didn't mind since it was actually really pretty!

It wasn't just an average brown mark but it was in the shape of a crown since Kane is royal blood and it had gold flakes through it which made it sparkle slightly.

"Do you like it?" I hear Kane question, as I turn around to see him leaning against the door with a smirk.

"It's perfect!" I grin at him before taking his hand and heading out to the car with our bags.

After packing up the car and assigning some guards to come with us we set off on the road to the hotel and the closer we get to Willow, the more nervous I become.

Something's not right... I'm trusting my instincts here and I'm going to put a stop to whatever is happening... with the help of my big bad Alpha of course!
