True Mate (BL)

”Hell…die? ” Jaes heart dropped as he heard Estans words. He had always known wounds inflicted from ones mate were dangerous but never knew they were fatal.

Estan nodded slowly in confirmation. The prince turned to the zeta whose face had turned pale from blood loss.

”How long does he have? ”

”A week at most. ”

”A week? We have to find him. ” The true bloods eyes turned hard as he picked up Syris torn shirt from where it had fallen. The smell of the zetas abuser was still strong on the piece of clothing. Jae clenched his jaw and walked out of the room, summoning Yejin through the link.

Yejin approached cautiously when he saw the determined glint in his princes eyes. ”You called for me? ” He greeted with a bow.

”I need you to find someone. ”

The alpha remained silent as he nodded his head respectfully.

”Syris mate. I need you to find that bastard and bring him to me alive before the end of the week. ”

”Shall I summon the delta? ” The alpha asked as he accepted the shirt from the true blood.

”And the theta. ” The prince stopped the alpha as he turned to carry out the command. ”Remember, I need him alive. ”

”Yes, Alpha. ” Yejin bowed before hurrying off to find the delta and theta.

When the alpha had rounded the corner of the hallway and disappeared from view, Estan poked his head out of the door of the princes room at the lingering smell of his mate. ”Yejin was here? ”

Jae nodded. ”I sent him to find Syris mate. ”

”Oh, ” the gamma nodded, disappointed that he missed his mate even though he had seen him before he came to answer Jaes summon. The gamma held the door open wider as the true blood approached him.

”How is he? ” Jae asked as he and Estan returned to the room.

”I have him sedated. As long as he doesn do anything drastic, the wound shouldn bleed too much. ”

”Okay, thats good. Thank you for taking care of him. ”

”Of course. ” The gamma excused himself with a bow before exiting the princes chambers.

Jae sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping zeta. His pink hair laid on his forehead, and his lashes fanned his cheeks. The zetas chest rose and fell with a steady rhythm, his soft breath reaching the keen ears of the true blood. Once Jae had made certain Syri was as comfortable as he could be, the true blood drew the curtains over the window and exited his room to continue tending to his princely duties.

The mellow fall breeze sifted through the small home lazily. The house was situated just outside the town on a small hill, providing a splendid view of the castle and its surrounding village. The windows and doors were flung wide as the two males lazed around. They had just returned from a contract mission and were resting. The theta was napping lightly on the rug while the delta was sitting leisurely in a chair sharpening his blades.

The sound of footsteps approached the home as the two basked in the warm, setting sun shining through the door and windows. The scent of one of their commanding officers reached the thetas sensitive nose. The theta opened his eyes as the delta sensed the man approaching his home. The delta and theta stood to their feet at the sight of the chocolate-haired alpha entering the deltas home.

”You
e both here. Good. ”

”Yejin, ” the grumpy cat version of a theta greeted the alpha. He brought his hand up and scratched his fingers on the side of his head in horizontal movements to fix his disheveled hair.

”Haikon, Xander, ” Yejin greeted the theta and delta.

”New mission? ” Xander inquired coolly, twirling a throwing dagger between his fingers.

”Yes. ” The alpha answered. ”Its from the prince and is to be kept secret. You are to find the wolf whose scent is on this shirt. ”

”Im guessing its not the sweet one? ” Haikon assumed as he took the shirt and smelled the three different scents.

”And not the Princes either, ” Xander added as he leaned over to smell the piece of clothing.

Haikons eyes flashed yellow. ”Got him. Hes an alpha, ” the theta growled.

”Whatd he do? ” The delta inquired about the alpha.

”Kidnapped and abused his mate. ”

Both the delta and thetas eyes flashed their respected colors.

”Leave it to us, ” Xander growled, the young males eyes still his wolfs vibrant blue.

”We need him alive, ” Yejin informed in a warning tone.

”Shame, ” the delta said, clearly disappointed as his eyes returned to their usual black.

”Its the princes orders. ”

”Can he be barely alive? ” Xander asked with hope.

”Just don kill him, ” Yejin replied with a squint of his eyes.

”We won . Don worry, ” the theta assured the alpha.

The alpha nodded before leaving the delta and theta to their preparations. The delta stretched and let out a yawn as he walked away from the door and began gathering his blades.

”Why do you suppose Jae wants to keep this under wraps? ” Haikon pondered to the delta.

”Not sure. Im sure theres a reason, and knowing Jae, its probably a damn good one, ” Xander replied. Haikon nodded in agreement as he strapped a knife to his thigh. ”Speaking of keeping things under wraps, when are you going to go back to your own house? ” The delta inquired.

Haikon lifted his head and squinted his eyes at the delta. ”How does that train of thought make any sense? ”

”Just answer the question. ”

”I don know. Your house is just so pretty. It has the perfect view and… ” The theta trailed off as he watched the delta scurrying about getting ready.

”And what? ” Xander continued the thetas sentence.

”…And…don forget to bring your third dagger, ” Haikon side-stepped the question.

”Already got it, ” Xander lifted the dagger before sliding it back into its sheath.

The theta gave a small smile before bringing his attention back to his own preparations.
