CHAPTER NINE

THREE MONTH LATER.

DYLAN'S P.O.V

It has been three months since the arrival of my mate and his family. Three months since an intruder was never caught. Alex still believes that his cousin is still alive and right now he is doing everything he can to find him.

It has been almost two months since we saw or heard from him. He had to leave town so he could find his cousin. No matter how hard we tried to convince him to take one of us but all he did is deny us but made a promise to come back home no matter what.

I haven't slept for days cause I have been trying to track Alex's whereabouts but with no luck and is because he does not want to be found. He knew that I will look for him that is why he is being careful.

Right now am in the home office covered with trashed papers and maps everywhere. I know I have been a little snappish and moody lately. Due to different reasons, I can't find my brother, the full moon is near and I can't seem to be doing anything that will be helping anyone anytime soon.

Trevor has always been around and so helpful apart from my stupid childish behavior, giving me hope that one day we will find him or come to us alive. As much as I want to believe that but I can't.

Good thing is that today is Saturday so no school for me, I can stay in this office all day if I want. Especially when everyone is scheduled for the day. Travis and Jordan are at the hospital. Damien is with Tyler and Maxine doing some bonding. Avery is in the packhouse playing with the kids which is what he does every Saturday when he doesn't have anything else important to do. Ben and Mason are with Max and Mark training them. Chris and Nick are having some family time with their parents have they spent a lot of time at our house than theirs( They are leaving in our house). About Trevor, I have no idea where my mate is. What a horrible mate I am.

'I wish I had mind link with him'. I say to Luke.

'Mark him and you will have one'. Luke snarls.

'Very soon'. I say smiling at myself like an Idiot.

'It better be, I can't take it anymore'. He grunts.

I sigh looking at my computer once more, trying my best to find Alex.

'He knows how to take care of himself'. Luke says.

'I know. I just can't let him be alone out there, who knows how many things are out there'.

'No one knows that is why he is a supernatural being who is hard to kill and he can heal very fast when wounded'.

Before our conversation went on any further the door opens revealing Trevor whose expression looks like he is worried and at the same time mad.

" How long have you been in here?" He asks without taking another step away from the door.

" Good morning to you too", I sit back so I could have a clear view of him.

" How long?" He asks again crossing his hands on his chest.

" Yesterday", I say quietly that I think he almost missed it.

" Come on. We talked about this, you need to sleep", He half yells.

" I know but- "

" No buts. Upstairs now", He says pointing to the direction of the stairs.

I wish I could say no but I don't think I have the strength to argue with him right now. My eyes are sore, my stomach is growling and my back hurts for sitting too long. So I just stand and walk right to where he is standing. Without blinking I looked right into his eyes.

" I don't know what I did to deserve you, but honestly I love you", I say it out loud caressing his face making his eyes go wide as if not expecting it.

We have been doing everything that lovers/mates do. Go on dates, holding hands in public, making out every chance we get, sometimes even doing kinds of stuff that are almost to sex but not there yet but as long we reach our climax its still good for us. He has been there for me all this time that Alex is not here, putting up with me and Luke. I have always been there for him too. Everything about him screams beautiful, honest, loving, trustworthy. What else do I want except loving him with all my heart and soul?

I know it took me long enough to say the L-word. It is not like I was afraid, I just wanted to give him time before I freak him out. Like right now cause I am not sure what he is thinking right now. I wish I had that damn Mind link. Ugh

" Say something", I plead.

He just looks at me without a word and the next thing I know he kisses me, softly and sweetly pouring all the emotion that runs through his body and that is Love. I walk our bodies into the wall and hold him there with my body, allowing my hands to wander his body once it reaches his cheek, I caress his skin gently before pulling back to kiss my way down to his jaw and neck.

" Mhmm", He groans against me, his hands gripping onto me for support as he receives the effects of my love for him.

I pull back to look at his face, eyes glazed with love and passion that made my chest swell. I take his lips once more for a brief kiss. I pull away from the kiss resting my lips beside his ear as we both breathe heavily against one another.

" I love you too Dylan Anderson", Trevor says pressing his head to mine.

I have been wanting to hear those words since the first day I saw him. But for whatever reasons they still sound amazing at this moment.

" But still you need to sleep", He whispers.

I release a chuckle as I kiss him one more time. Drawing away from the kiss he takes my hand and leads us to my room.

I headed for the bathroom which I invited him but he declined saying that we might take forever getting out and he really wants me to sleep. When I was done I wear just sweat pants and I put myself on the bed.

I don't know why it was easy for him to get me out of that office but I am glad I did. ( It was the kiss).

He lies next close to me that our nasal tips are touching, feeling each other's breath. No one saying anything but a peaceful quite. Without a minute to pass by and I am off like a light.

----------------------------------------------------------------

TREVOR'S P.O.V

It's been five hours since I put Dylan to sleep, I wish nothing happens that he needs to wake up because his body and mind needs to rest. I know he has been looking for Alex none stop and he is worried but I can't let him dwell into the search and forget about himself.

Today I said the L word out loud, I  wanted to tell him sooner but I never thought he was ready to hear that, but also I wanted for him to say it first so I could be sure if he feels the same way. I am happy right now that I feel like I could scream on top of my lungs to tell everyone that I love him so much.

I'm currently in the kitchen at Dylan's house fixing something to eat for myself as everyone else is out there doing god knows what. Making myself a Tuna salad sandwich was the best Idea. Taking my lunch as slow as I can so I could have every taste of every ingredient. Cleaning the plate after I was done and take myself in the living room.

Sometime Later........

I feel someone shaking me to wake up. I must have dozed off. The power of Tuna Sandwich. Looking to the person who is responsible for shaking me I find its Max. He brushes the hairs that are all over my face so he could have a clear look at my eyes.

" Hey", He greets.

" Hey", I whisper still my voice is hoarse from waking up.

" It looks like you slept trying to watch....", Max looks at the TV and he saw what they were programming.

" What were you watching?" He asks raising one eyebrow.

" I don't remember", I say trying to sit up.

" Leave him alone", I hear Mark saying from the kitchen.

Looking around I see that everyone is back.

" Where is Dylan", I ask.

" Sleeping", Ty replies coming to where I am. " Hey, Uncle Trev".

" Hey there", Giving him a hug. " Did you enjoy yourself today?"

" Yes", He says excitedly almost jumping up from the couch. He starts telling me about his day with Damien and Maxine.

" Looks like you guys had a wonderful day". I say standing up so I could let Maxine sit next to Ty.

" You have no Idea", Maxine says as she changes the channels as they both get comfortable.

I walk out heading to the kitchen to get some water before I go to Dylan's room. I find Damien, Walker, Travis, and Mason laughing and making conversation as they cook. It looks like dinner is almost ready.

" How is it going?" Travis asks getting everyone's attention.

" Good. You". I say looking at Damien who nods his head at me and I nod back.

" Great", Travis says taking a sip of beer.

For that we all greeted each other, taking a glass of water and am out of the kitchen heading upstairs but before I could go any further I hear Damien calling my name so I turn to face him.

" Are you okay?" He asks coming closer.

" Yeah. why?" I ask as I am confused as to why I shouldn't be.

" You look exhausted. I know my brother can be a handful sometimes but he is a grown-up man".

" I can handle him". I say smiling at him.

Silence follows.

" I will be going to his room", I say awkwardly. Which he just nods.

" Hey do you think maybe we could...uh.... have some alone time and get to know each other better", He asks as I take the last step.

" Yeah sure", Is all I could say.

" Great",  He says and he is gone.

Damien and I have never had a more than two-minute conservation. Most of the time I am usually quite around him and I don't know why. Well Mark talks to him all the time, Max doesn't seem to like him that much but its Max, Ty as always been close to him and from today's event they will even be closer.

Getting inside Dylan's room I hear the shower running. What made him take a bath again it's not like he was doing anything. Was he doing anything? Before I could answer that the bathroom door is opened wide and he was just in his towel. Water dripping all over, his hair still wet.

I couldn't resist the urge to look at him and drool. It's not like I have never seen him shirtless before but it seems like I just can't get it enough.

" Like what you see", He says taking a step closer to me.

" Well...you look fine", I say shaking my head for disapproving.

" Only fine?" He says getting even closer.

His closeness and his bare chest I don't think I'm capable of getting out a word from my mouth so I just nod.

" Then how about this", He drops the towel on the floor taking another step, and right now he is right on my face.

I just swallow at nothing but air, in which the atmosphere has changed and becomes heavy and dense. My heart starts to beat very fast and breathing rate changes. My eyes can't settle in one place his lips, his neck, his eyes, his cheek, his lips again. I can't handle this anymore.

So I start to close the space but he steps back. Looking at him with shock.

" Tell me what you want", His voice is deeper and his eyes are pitch black full of lust.

" I want you", I say taking a step towards him which he only steps back again.

" To do what?"

" I want you to f-" Before I could say it , someone knocks the door so hard that I thought It might break.

" You are both needed". Avery says before he disappears.

Turn to look at Dylan, I see him that he has zoned out. He must be talking to Luke or his pack members. I wish I could have that ability. But soon.

" They found Alex", He says dashing inside the closet looking for something to wear.

" What? Where? When?" I had a lot to ask.

" They found them at the border and Alex is hurt", He says taking off heading downstairs as I follow him.

Did he say them?

Did Alex find his cousin?

I didn't want to ask him another question instead I just followed him silently behind him.
