I stormed out of the pack academy after some time, and Leo was right beside me, along with Scar, but Amelia was nowhere to be found.

"When do we expect to see you at the pack again, and also, you didn't introduce your new Luna to us? We were expecting to see her but I guess the Coronation party would be the only way to see her and also introduce her to us. "The pack academy principal mutters, and it was then it was down to me that all these while she wasn't here and I didn't know where she went, perhaps she lost her way around, and I was too careless to even notice.

"Oh, I guess that would be the perfect time. I think I need to go meet her right away. She is still too new to the pack, and I wouldn't want her being pissed off by people now. "I responded, and then we exchanged handshakes as he waved us goodbye.

"Where is she?" I asked, directing my cold gaze to both Leo and Scar.

"I don't know. You were the one who was careless enough to leave her behind when she was just new to your pack. How imprudent of a mate." Leo mutters.

"She was with you before I made my way out of the car, "I said, turning my gaze to Scar.

"And I am not her keeper, nor was I termed her slave,"she responded sarcastically as she rolled her eyes at me.

Damn it, where could she be? I was too careless to have let her wander away on her own.

I called out to my guide as they showed up, and we began to search for her while I was thinking in various directions.

Leo reluctantly follows me after he mutters that it was all my fault, and if I had taken very good care of my mate, or my supposed-contract mate, then she wouldn't have run off the way she did.

Partially,I guess he was right, and I did; I shouldn't have left her alone in a strange place she was not familiar with.

My heart skipped a bit when my guide came back with the negative response that they couldn't find her.

I was more scared, as I wondered where she could be and how she was.

"If you are this scared, why then are you going hard on yourself? "Leo mutters as I jerk back to reality.

"I am not scared that she went missing; I'm just worried about my throne and father, nothing more and nothing less, "I mutter to him and then walk off.

Thinking of the possible place she could be, I should have marked her sooner than later; perhaps I would have been able to read her mind, mindlink her without a barrier, or even be able to detect her scent more.

Right now, I couldn't keep linking with her even when I tried to, and she wouldn't give in.

I inhale deeply, wondering about her whereabouts.

I sigh and then use my hand to ruffle my head as the idea of where she could be rushed through my mind, and before Leo could run after me, I was off, racing to the Pack Garden.

That is the only place she could be right now since she isn't anywhere closer to the library or the pack.

I stopped immediately. I get to the garden gate, panting heavily, just as I expected. She was at the garden, but not alone, with another male wolf, smiling and goofing around with one of the pack teachers, who happened to be one of the handsome men in the pack.

The way she laughed at him and the way she smiled at him triggered the anger that was building up in me. Leo soon met up with me as he stopped and also panted for air.

"They both look beautiful together, right? " he mutters into my ears as I slap his mouth with an ouche.

My attention was more focused on Amelia and how lost she was talking with Nathan,she couldn't even notice my presence.

"Here she was, smiling and talking with another man. While searching around worriedly for her. "Scar yelled behind me as everyone, including Amelia and Nathan, became aware of our presence.

"Good afternoon, Alpha, "Nathan greeted and bowed his head with fright as Amelia rolled her eyes carelessly at me without a word from her.

Angrily, I ignored Nathan's greetings and then rushed to her as I dragged her by the hands.

Forcing her to run after me while the rest followed us behind,there were no single words from us as we all left for the car.

"Scar .... I'm sorry, but used the other car. I need to talk to my mate privately. Please go with Leo, "I said as they were about to enter my car.

"But I've always gone with you when we visit the pack academy. What suddenly changed? "she mutters, glaring at me.

"Feelings change, and yes, I can't ditch my mate for you; I will catch up with you, "I mutter, and then hug her as Amelia glares at me without a word from her.

Leo and Scar enter the other car after she gives Amelia one last cold glare.

I entered the car as my driver drive off.

"Where were you?" I asked immediately,as she smirked.

"Why care? when you refuse to take me along." She mumbled,with her hands crossed to her breast.

"And you think that justifies the reason you went to the pack garden with another man, smiling and laughing with him, that you didn't even notice my presence for more than a minute?" I said, trying not to get angry, especially with the way she was free with Nathan today and how she spoke freely with him.

"I have the right to talk to whomever I want to, and I also have the right to do whatever I want to do, "she mutters, and that got me angry.

"How dare you? I yelled at her as I yanked her closer to me, my hands on her neck as she glared at me, frightened by my sudden actions.

"Now you listen to me, so long as you are under my room, you don't get to do whatever you like, you slut, "I mutter, choking her.
