Bones

Sorin POV

"I'm leaving today, I won't be back for three days, you sure you can handle him?" I ask Josh, he seems more frightening than he was trying to show. he tried not to show but ever since the battle he looks more drained, and exhausted than everyone else, it was not hard to see that he had the same trails as Lorenzo. As we were not that close I didn't want to bring it up.

he glanced at Craig sitting on the floor of the cell playing with his chains, he looked up and smiled at josh innocently. Joshua gulped nervously, he was trying too hard to act brave.

I glared at Craig for scaring Josh more than he already was. he gave me a pout faking innocence. I roll my eyes at him but the skip in my heartbeat said otherwise.

"I'm sure, you can go now, I promise to take good care of him," Josh said gathering all his courage, poor him had no idea what he was getting himself into, but JOsh was my best shot. so he would have to do it for now.

we knew how crazy and powerful Craig is within a year, can't believe it's been a year already. I nodded at josh, he fled the room saying he needed to prepare for Lorenzo and my travel but a chuckle that left my mate's mouth said another story.

he couldn't keep gagging him up so the local sage came up with a potion that controlled his power. looks like he needs another dose, as the days passed he was turning immune to the potion, we needed to come up with something else.

I walk towards him and crunch down, so my face was aligned with his, he looks at me with his beautiful almond eyes, I still can't get over the fact that someone this enchanting can be such a monster.

"don't hurt anyone behind my back, and stop messing with Josh's head, you keep giving him nightmares," I warned him but he looked at me pouting but the menace in his eyes was as clear as daylight.

"he told you that, didn't he? ah, such a cry baby, I wonder what else he is afraid of, I mean losing your sister can't be all it, you know?" he rubbed his chin pretending to be deep in thoughts.

I growl I stood up grabbing his throat, smashing his back on the cold cement wall, his flimsy clothes hung on his slim body making me want to rip them off of him. his long hair was messed up with dirt and grease and yet I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

he grinned when I put pressure on his windpipe, he closed his eyes moaning while rubbing his irresistible body on mine, I growled holding his waist trying to stop his moment but he didn't have that, he moved in such a way that my arm was wrapped around him which gave him access to move his body impossibly closer to mine.

"so, many dirty thoughts and none in action, I'm so disappointed" he whispered seductively in my ear, his hot breath fanned on my ear arousing me to the next level. he bit the tip of my ear and dragged his teeth while pulling away.

I push his body off of mine and slammed him on the wall. I knew my eyes were a deep shade of red knowing my wolf was lingering on the surface, unhappy to see his mate having the upper hand.

I push myself away putting some distance between us, I spat at him furiously "you disgust me," I stomp out of there not turning back to see him.

this has been going on for more than seven months now, he kept seducing me to get out of this place, I fell for his tricks the first time, and that's when he killed ten of our guards while escaping out of the dungeons.

I was heartbroken when that happened, so I promised myself no matter what I was not to fall for his seductive self. he didn't want me, he just wants to get out of this place, and he is willing to do anything for it to happen.

I don't talk or say anything to Josh, because he was giving me a pitying look, recently Craig has been harassing Josh for some unknown reason. he kept digging into his head trying to find a weak link and playing with his mind.

Lorenzo walked out of the meeting room along with a team of warriors and researchers, what hurts me the most is that no matter how much of a monster my mate is I'm grateful he is alive, but I wish it was the same for Lorenzo. he truly does love Alejandro with his entire being.

even when the king gave him the throne three months ago he didn't once wear the crown or sit on the throne, he did all the duties of the king but didn't take the tag. it's almost like he was waiting for Alejandro to come back.

Lorenzo nods at me and we get into different cars, we have divided into two teams one team will search the northwest side of the cliff and the other will look around the southwest. rumors were going around that Lorenzo has lost his mind. he was trying too hard to find the dead person.

Lorenzo's father was very pissed when he found out he was mated to a man and not just that but to the prince that he hated the most. but Lorenzo didn't give a fuck about it. for the first time in my life, I had respect for him and that's when my wolf and I accepted him as our Alpha wholeheartedly.

his father still tries to contact him and convince him to move on and mate with an omega female but Lorenzo slammed the door on his face and forbids him from entering the castle unless he spoke to him about something important.

we drove towards the cliff and drove around the bottom with a dirt car, we looked for clues and traces of anything but all we found was dead and decaying plants and animals, we found the bones of Claudius a few months ago but couldn't find Alejandro. we got a tip that a young girl found a hand in this part of the forest while hunting. a local independent pack that lived in caves.

Lorenzo went that way, he found the hand but couldn't bring himself to watch them dig deeper into the sight, I went to him, standing next to him as moral support, he was mine, and I was his support for now.

his breath hitched when the diggers found all the bones along with the skull. he was trembling dreadfully. I held his shoulder trying to calm him down. but the sound of his racing heart could be heard by everyone.

"We should send this to the lab, figure out if it is..." the doctor didn't continue but we all knew what he meant by that.

"do that, make sure we get the results as soon as possible," I order when Lorenzo didn't utter a word, his gaze didn't Weaver from the sack of bone, I pulled him away from the scene when I felt his shoulder shake.

I grabbed him into a hug when the first tear left his eyes. he burst into tears that I knew he had been holding back for a while. he hugged me back crying his heart out. his helplessness made me clench my heart he cried as he lost everything in his life, and worst of all I couldn't do anything to help him

"I'm sorry," I whispered lowly but he cried harder, his body trembled in helplessness and loneliness, this was the last stroke, this meant Alejandro was really gone and there was no coming back from this.

"he left me, Sorin, he left me all alone," he mumbled sobbing heartbroken, I rub his back trying to console him.

"you still have us, Lorenzo, you still have your family, and you will always have Josh and me, you are not alone," I tell him, he pulled himself off of me and rubbed his tears away.

he nodded trying to act strong. "I need to get out of here," he said and left I signaled a guard to follow him and got back to the grave where we found the bones.

something caught my eye that had me trembling in my spot, I bend down to pick the shiny object off the ground, it was his watch.

the one I gifted him on his eighteenth birthday, not a single day he didn't wear it. he told me it was the first gift he had ever received from someone other than his father.

I sat on the dirty ground holding the watch closer to my chest and howled to the sky.

this was not fair.
