Chapter Twenty Two

"Do you smell it Even! I think we're getting close" Lvan said.

"Yes, the scent of blood is getting strong" Even said. Even was starting to question how much far they had to go to reach where the scent of blood was coming from. He was glad they were getting close as they had been running for a long time now.

And now, he wished for one thing. He really hope the blood isn't Tristan's. Wait, his picking something. Even lifted up his head smelled the air. "Even, I scent Tristan's scent and another scent"

Yes, Even was picking the same. He just hope the scent of blood he smelled wasn't from Tristan.

"Is not his blood" Lvan voiced out and he nodded. He believed lvan when he said it. After all, he had mated with his mate, smelled his blood and tasted. So there's no way Lvan would be wrong in identifying his mate's blood.

"Okay, he responded" he responded which earned him a smile from lvan. Lvan looked forward with a serious look before sending Tristan another link, 'Hang on baby, am coming'

                 ******🐺*****

"Wait up, Chris!!" Roy shouted at Chris who was walking so fast and seemed to be far in his thoughts. He was walking fast but he wasn't using his shifter's ability, speed.

Roy caught up to him with Sebastian, Corey and Zane following. They were worried about their friend. Chris didn't look good. They have known him since they were kids and in all those years, they had never seen Chris this devastated, frustrated and defeated over an issue. Colten must really be important to him.

"Chris, I understand what you are going through" Roy said when he stood in front of Chris with Sebastian, Zane and Corey following beside him.

"You do?" Chris asked. Roy looked away from Chris's gaze before saying, "I actually don't. Okay, so, I don't know what you going through and I don't know what is like but, I do know what is doing to us"

Roy waved his hand at him, Sebastian, Corey and Zane who had a worried look. "We're your friends. It doesn't make us happy seeing you this. Both you and Colten"

Chris sighed before saying, "Okay, I understand. I'll —I'll think of something. Sorry for worrying you guys"

"That's okay bro, that's what friends are for, right?" Roy said with a smile. "Right" Chris agreed and watch as smiles spread on Zane, Sebastian and Corey's lips.

               *****🐺*****

"Colten!! Colten!!" Rex yelled out his him. He wanted to speak with Colten after the search but damn! His wolf wouldn't have that. He had never listened to his wolf before. Not even when he was depressed about not having friends and his wolf kept telling that he had friends. Even mentioning Colten, Sebastian, Corey, Zane, Chris and even Lvan but he never listened. Roy wasn't always around and didn't visit regularly like Colten but he always showed concerned for him. He even gave his number to Rex so he could call him when he had a problem he didn't want to share with Colten and the others. But, he never called him. He remember Roy also complained to him to call him just like Colten did on his tenth birthday.

His wolf always knew and even reminded him so many times about the friends he had around him but he just never listened. He was ignorant.

But this time, he would listen. This time he won't be ignorant. And just like his wolf said, he had to first find Colten and apologize, then Corey whom he said some pretty bad and horrible things to. And then, he would apologize to the others one after the other and if possible, beg them to be friends with him again. 

Lvan and the others might be older than him but they still considered him as a friend so what's stopping him to be friends with them?

"Colten!! Please answer me if you can hear me!!" Rex yelled again as he walked.

              *****🐺*****

Reaching the right destination, Lvan and Even smelled the scent of blood all over so did they smell, Tristan's scent and another unfamiliar scent. They began looking around.

It didn't take long before lvan found Tristan lying under a tree. Tristan was wearing the same cloths he wore before he transformed into his wolf form and chased after the stranger which in result, he went missing.

He looked beat up and the cloths had cuts on them. Lvan immediately rushed to his mate with Even following.

               *****🐺*****

Lvan had Tristan in his arms in the bridal way as he ran, using his ability with Even following. Tristan was unconscious and his whole body was pale and hot. Was he experiencing fever? They had to get Jones to see Tristan and examine him. Tristan was all beaten up but he was still breathing. That was more important to him than anything.

The wounds were nothing because they would eventually heal. 

"Lvan...." Tristan whispered as he slowly opened his eyes to look at lvan. Lvan was so happy. He kissed Tristan's forehead with a smile on his face before answering, "Yes, baby"

"Is....

"Shhh, baby. Is me don't speak anymore, okay? You're not okay you need to see a doctor" Tristan slowly nodded and lost conscious again. Lvan began to panic, "Even, he....."

"Don't worry, he will be just fine. We're almost at the house"

Reaching the mansion, there was a lot of people outside. Lvan was the one who called them there for help but at that moment, their existence at the outside of the mansion was annoying him.

"Make way!! Make way!!" Lvan repeated. The people started making way while staring at them. Lvan rushed in with Tristan, heading for his and Tristan's bedroom.

"Call Dr Jones!!" Even yelled out. Marie and Jack got up from the couch in the living room to see what all the shouting was about when they heard the commotion. They were surprised when they saw lvan enter the house with an unconscious Tristan in his arms. Sharing a glance, they immediately ran to check on Tristan.

           ****🐺****

Lvan gentle lied Tristan down when they reached the room. Marie and Jack then entered when Even who was blocking the door stood on the side. They looked at Even for an exclamation of what happened to Tristan but he knew nothing. He didn't know what to tell them except where they found his alpha's mate.

"We found him in the forest. That's all we know. We don't know what happened to him" Even answered, looking at them. Jack and Marie nodded and looked at lvan and Tristan.

Tristan was lying down all beaten up and his cloths torn. He looked pale and his cheeks reddened. Marie thought it might be fever, or something else. Lvan was running his hand through Tristan's hair. He looked relieve and worried at the same time.

"Let's leave them. We'll come back later when Tristan wakes up" Marie announced. They shared a look and nodded. "You're right. I still have to find out where Dr Jones is"

And with that, the three left the room. Leaving behind an unconscious Tristan and a worrywart lvan.

Lvan was lost in his world that he didn't even realise Marie, Jack and Even had left the room.

"Baby, please wake up. I need you" lvan said, stroking Tristan's hair. Tristan blinked his eyes. Lvan looked attentive, praying his eyes weren't deceiving him.

Tristan fully opened his eyes to see a relieve Lvan. Lvan. Lvan was here. He was back to his mate and damn! His whole body ached him and it also felt hot. Deities! his head ached so much and he was a little dizzy too.

"Oh, baby" lvan hugged Tristan. It took only a second before Tristan also hugged him back. He couldn't believe he was back to his mate. He never thought he would see his mate and his cute son again when he was on the hands of those demons. And it got even worst when he used the telepathy thing and lvan wasn't answering. He thought his world had come to an end and he was finally going to die.

But now...., he was glad he didn't give up and fought back. And right now, he needs his mate. He needed to know this was real and not a dream.

"I need you lvan" he whispered into lvan's ear. Lvan knew what Tristan meant. He also wanted his mate. To know this was real and not an illusion or a dream. Lvan pulled away from Tristan, began stroking his hair before he answered.

"I know baby, I also want you too but we can't"Tristan was sick and he needed to recover before anything else. And anyway, he still felt guilty for not using the mind link thing. Tristan would have been faster if he had used it.

"I'm sorry baby. I forgot we can mentally speak to each other because I was busy running around and screaming your name" lvan said with a regretful look. He really regretful and wouldn't do anything if Tristan wanted to leave him for being a worthless and weak mate. He couldn't even protect him, what more could he do for Tristan?

"I heard your howls and that's when I remembered the mind link thing. I tried contacting you but you wouldn't answer. I couldn't get through to you. It was like you were blocking me"

"Yes, I might have blocked you with all my fears and worries" lvan looked down, away from Tristan's gaze before saying, "I'm sorry"

"I won't forgive you" lvan immediately looked up at Tristan in horror. He should have seen this coming. There was no way Tristan would forgive him for leaving him in danger for hours when he could have saved him early if he wasn't going running around instead of thinking.

"I see" he said in a sad tone. His mate was leaving him. "But I can forgive you if you do something for me" lvan immediately tilted his head, looking at Tristan with an eager look. "What is it? I will do anything within my power for your forgiveness"

A spread appeared on Tristan's lips before he answered, "Great. I want the best blowjob in the whole world" Tristan tried getting up but the aches in his body rises to a settle degree which reminded him his body wasn't well. He screamed in pain and lied back down, making Lvan panic.

"See! This is why I said we can't"

"Come on lvan, is just a blowjob" Tristan said with a puffed look. Lvan couldn't believe what he was seeing. Tristan was so cute! He looked like the older version of Alan. Not like he didn't know Tristan was cute but damn!! It still surprises him every time he wondered when he would get use to it.

Lvan cleared his throat, trying to overlook the cuteness of his baby. "Even so...."

"Either you do this or no forgiveness" Tristan looked serious but even so, shit!! He looked so fucking cute!!

"Anything for you baby" lvan said with smile. A smile broke on Tristan's lips when he realised he had won. "That's more like it"

"Here, use this" lvan said as he took one of the pillows on the bed and gentle raised Tristan up. He leaned the pillow on the bedframe which was behind Tristan and gentle leaned him down on the pillow.

Lvan lifted himself up and looked at Tristan who had a smile on his face.

"Comfortable?" He asked and Tristan nodded. "Good. Now am going to give you the best blowjob in the world, if your body feels uncomfortable or it hurts anywhere tell me and we will stop, okay?"

Tristan was positive if something like that happened he wouldn't tell his lvan but he nodded and crossed his fingers. Lvan who knew nothing of Tristan's decision to not tell him if he was feeling uncomfortable or in any pain, smiled at him.

Lvan returned a smile. Tristan spread his legs and Lvan positioned himself between his legs. "You look bad baby" lvan said was he traced his eyes on the wounds on Tristan's body. Tristan knew he did but he didn't want to talk about it. At least not now.

"But at least the wounds are healing" he said instead. Lvan nodded, said nothing else and just unzipped Tristan's jeans. 

Finally unzipping, he rolled down Tristan's jeans and revealed a hard shaft with pre-cum leaking from it. Lvan licked his lips before saying, "You're not wearing shorts baby"

Tristan breathed out sharply before responding breathlessly when lvan started lazily stroking his cock, "My shorts wasn't among my cloths when he brought them"

Lvan nodded. Damn! How he wanted to know about the people who kidnapped his sweet mate. He would make them pay for it. He would never forgive them!

"L— lvan" Tristan said breathlessly, face flushed with arousal. Lvan snapped out of his thoughts, looking at Tristan.

"Faster" Tristan said. Lvan worked his hand faster on Tristan's groin for a few seconds before he bent and swallowed Tristan down. Tristan's cock hit the back of lvan's throat, making him whimper before moaning out loud in pleasure.

Lvan held the base of Tristan's groin and kept sucking him off. Tristan took hold of lvan's hair, moaning and groaning as he was feeling the pleasure.

"Lvan" Tristan moaned out. Lvan sucked on the head of his groin. "Lvan!!" Tristan screamed but that didn't stop Lvan. "I'm coming!!" He shouted. Lvan nodded his head around his groin.

"Lvan!!" Tristan screamed, raising his head before shooting the cum from his cock into Lvan's mouth.

Releasing everything he had and feeling spent, Tristan dropped his head back on the pillow breathing heavily and face still flushed. Lvan released Tristan's shaft from his mouth, dropping the spent cock and swallowing everything Tristan gave him. Lvan wiped his lips with a smile on his face, looking at the exhausted and heavy breathing Tristan.

               ****🐺****

"Colten?!! Answer me if you can hear me!!" Rex shouted, looking around. He was so tired and decided to turn back home while shouting out Colten's name. He knew Colten could hear him with his excellent hearing and if he wasn't answering Rex, then he might have been very angry.

Rex sighed. Walking while looking around, he saw John and he was alone. Why was the man here? Alone? Anyway, didn't he say he wasn't going to help with the search? So what was he doing there then? He definitely couldn't have gotten a change of heart. That old man's heart was made of stone. So then, what was he doing there?

Rex looked back at the old man who was looking around like he was looking for someone.

          ****🐺****

After one of Lvan's mind blowing blowjobs, Lvan changed the sheets to get rid of the smell if cum because he knew Dr Jones will be accompanied by Even. Werewolves had excellent sense of smell after all. He also cleaned Tristan up and helped him change his cloths. As assumed, Dr Jones really did come with Even.

Finally, Jones checked up on Tristan. The healing of Tristan's wounds was slow but apart from that, there was nothing major wrong with him. Dr Jones believed it might be because of the medicine Tristan told them he was given. The doctor didn't know what kind of medicine it was but examining Tristan's body, the medicine could be the only cause. The medicine was the cause of the slow healing of Tristan's wounds, he said. Jones also prescribed some medications for Tristan's fever.

After helping Tristan take the medication for the fever, he left the room accompanied by Even and Jones. Lvan came back into the room after some minutes, he went and sat facing Tristan before taking hold his two hands, caressing and squeezing here and there.

"Baby, I need to go for a meeting right now" Tristan didn't want Lvan to leave. He was scared of those monsters coming back for him but he also didn't want to be a burden on lvan or clingy.

He nodded, "I see. But please come back soon" lvan smiled, kissed the back of Tristan's hand before answering, "I'll be back as soon as I can"

"Okay"

"I told Debby to prepare you some lunch, expect their (Minna and Sandy) presence" Tristan nodded, "What about Jake?" Tristan held lvan's hand tightly with so much fear and concern as he said, "Please go for him" Lvan had never seen Tristan like this before. What exactly was wrong? Was it related to when he went missing?

Jake needed to be saved. After everything those monsters told him, Jake needed no — had to be saved.

"Okay, I heard you. I'll bring it up to Colten and Roy later" Tristan nodded his head. Lvan scooted forward and hugged Tristan, even caressing his back.

                 ****🐺****

Lvan told him he should move and that he needed rest but he had to see his son. He missed him so much. That's why he only got up from bed a few minutes after lvan left. When he couldn't smell his scent in the house.

Tristan was walking down the hallway when he came across Minna. She looked so worried and definitely, a scolding was on the way.

"Why are you up Tristan? Alpha told us you shouldn't get up for any reason except to the bathroom. You need all the room you can get"

"I know Minna, so please overlook this. Where's Alan? I haven't seen him since I arrived" Tristan looked down with pouty lips, "I thought he will be the first person I will see when I come back" Minna smiled, the worried expression disappearing completely. "I see. Young master Alan is fine. In fact he's in the house just that,...." Minna hesitated with a sad look.

"Just that?" Tristan asked, already worried and impatient to know what was going on with his son. "Young master wouldn't leave his room"

"Does he know am back?" Oh, that was a stupid question. Of course Alan would know. Werewolves had excellent hearing and excellent sense of smell. Alan would have definitely know he was back. And even if Alan's hearing wasn't that good and his sense of smell wasn't good either, he would definitely know he was back considering the commotion lvan created. Lvan was very loud after all. At that moment, he thought his ears were going to get damaged.

"Yes. I personally went to tell him and even with your scent in the house, he still won't believe. Even considering the shouts alpha created, he still won't believe. He said he will only believe if he sees you"

Tristan nodded his head. That sounded like his Alan. He smiled, "Okay then, I'll go see him"

"Oh, are you sure you're okay Tristan? You had us all worried, please take care of yourself" Tristan smiled at the sweet girl before him. "I'm sorry for worrying you all and thank you for worrying about me. But am fine now"

Minna shook her head, as remembered what the alpha told her, "Alpha said you have fever. You're not okay and you shouldn't be here. How about this, go back to your room and I will convince Young master Alan to come out of his room and come see you"

Tristan waved his hand. Minna was really stubborn and he felt like he was losing.

"I'm really alright Minna. After taking the medicine Dr Jones prescribed, the fever has gone. The wounds is the only thing that's healing slowly" Tristan smiled at Minna. Minna sighed, scratching her head. "I really don't want to get into trouble with the alpha. He's really scary when scolding when it comes to yours and Alan's health"

Tristan smirked, Minna was really funny and easy to tease, "And should you be telling me that? I'm the alpha's mate after all. What if I tell him?" Minna's eyes widened. She didn't think about that. This mouth of hers would surely get her into trouble.

"Please don't tell him. Oh right!" Minna slapped her hand over her forehead. "I almost forgot. Alan haven't have anything since morning"

"What?!!" Tristan exclaimed in shock and in fear for Alan's health. "He wouldn't eat anything, saying he would only eat when you come back"

"Shit!! Let's go" Tristan exclaimed and took four steps in a hurry before stopping when his body began to ache so bad. He almost fell on his knees but Minna was quick to help him, holding his arm.

"Easy Tristan! You're injured remember?" Tristan nodded his head. Minna was right. His body was in no condition to be up but he had to do this. "We'll go slowly, so please help me Minna" A smile spread on Minna's lips before she answered, "Okay"

            ***🐺***

As just like that, they walked slowly to the kitchen. Debby, Sandy and James were surprised when Tristan came in with Minna. Minna holding his arm and helping him walk. She helped Tristan sit on the kitchen stool, poured him a glass of water because he was breathless before turning her attention to the others.

Debby and Sandy gave her a questioning look but she shrugged in return. After drinking the water Minna poured for him, Tristan placed the glass down and turned his attention to Debby and Sandy. He looked at James and gave him a smile before looking back at Debby an Sandy.

"Why are you up Tristan?" Debby asked stiffly. Tristan was starting to regret being stubborn and coming down. Sandy ran and hugged Tristan whose body began to ache again because of Sandy who was hugging him tightly.

"I miss you so much Tristan! I was so worried about you" Minna noticed how uncomfortable Tristan looked. He even seemed to be in pain. "Okay, is okay" Minna said, getting the chameleon from Tristan but pulling Sandy off Tristan by the collar of her maid wear which was her uniform. Tristan began to straightening his purple T-shirt. Tristan wore a purple T-shirt with short jeans and slippers. He didn't apply eyeliner because he had decided to stop but didn't get time to polish his nails again. Those monsters cleaned his neatly polished nails when they kidnapped him. They would regret it. He would make sure of that.

"Master Tristan, please go back to bed" James said with a blank expression. Tristan turned to look at James before answering, "How many times have I told you to just call me Tristan, James?"

"Then, Tristan, please go back to bed"

"I don't want to unless is an order*

" Then I order you"

"I refuse" Tristan said looking at James who was also looking at him. They were definitely in a staring competition. "You're just wasting your time James, he won't listen" Debby said with a smile. Tristan turned to look at her with a smile before saying, "I'm glad you know" with a wink.

Debby went and hugged Tristan but not tight. "We're glad you're okay. We will so worried about you"

"That's right" James said, "I'm sorry" Tristan replied and hugged Debby back, relaxing. 'So warm' he thought. Coming to this town was a very good idea. He found his mate, got a son, new friends, parents and another brother who was also his friend. He met all these people. All these people who were so warm. Who actually cared about him and weren't pretending. He would tell his brothers and Jake about these people who had made his life warmer when he met them. He was positive Albert, Zac and Jake would love them like he did.

     ****🐺****

After telling him how worried they were when he went missing and expressing how grateful they were that Tristan was back safe and sound ignoring the healing wounds on his body, Debby asked him what it was that he wanted.

"I want to make lunch for Alan, I heard he hasn't eaten anything yet" Tristan responded with a worried look. Debby, James, Sandy and Minna also shared a worried look before they looked at each other.
