Alpha Niall And His Lost Mate

~"Niall where are you?"~ I asked through our link immediately as I felt it, but I was met with silence. ~"Niall?"~ I kept my foot on the brake just to go a little slower as I reached out again.

I knew he heard me, because I could feel his panic rising at the sound of my voice. I didn't know why, but I really didn't want to either.

~"Niall!"~ I practically screamed this time in our link, growing very frustrated with his behaviour.

I was hurt that he heard me and refused to answer, and that he also felt when I came into linking range but refused to acknowledge it.

~"Zoey, I'm so sorry for everything but it is not safe here. You need to go okay? I'll be home soon"~ He finally decided to speak, but I felt anger rising in me as he did. It would've been better if he didn't.

~"WHAT?! Are you freaking kidding me Niall? You've been gone for two days and you expect me to just go back home without you? And should I remind you that those were the exact same words you spoke when you were leaving? But look at that, you didn't come back"~

~"Babe I swear I'll explain everything, but I need you to go. This is rogue territory."~ His voice was desperate and I felt his panic rising the closer I went. It made me realize that the new dose of panic I felt in the link was because he thought I was putting myself in danger.

~"You LEFT me Niall. You didn't come back and you're here at Rogue Burg? And for what? Aren't you in as much danger as me?"~

~"How did you know-"~

~"Clarissa is with me, and so is Valero. You know why? Because I felt the panic in our bond and I thought you were in trouble."~ I huffed as annoyance ate away at me. If Niall really wasn't in danger, why did he come here and why did I feel him panicking every couple minutes?

My mind was quiet for a while, but he was still very much awake in my link. I could feel the guilt, concern and regret from him as I waited for him to answer. I was still following behind Clarissa as she led us towards what I assumed would be the main entrance. I knew it wasn't safe, but as much as I was upset with my mate, I was not leaving here without him.

~"Zoey I can feel you coming closer and I am begging you, please go back home. I promise I'll be home today and explain everything. That panic you felt in the bond? It was because I screwed up and I thought I was putting you in danger. It was never my intent for things to go this far, but I want to tell you at home where it's safe okay?"~ He asked in desperation.

A part of me wanted to believe him and follow his request, but the stubbornness that lived in my bloodline would not allow me to.
