Griffin, Are You Okay?

 Amelie's POV.

 Escorted by Beta Luke, we all went to the hotel in question. There are two rooms prepared by Alpha Rexton and each room has twin beds. I went into the room with Hailey while Andrew was with Ben. Maybe I will need Hailey with me longer, that's why I don't want her to be with Ben even though that could happen.

 Entering the room, I immediately sat on the side of the bed. My eyes looked towards the window which showed a view of the city. It's been five years since I left this city and went to a bigger city not too close. I did everything to be able to forget Alpha Rexton and Matilda easily even though in reality there I met Delvia and Hailey who were the same people I met before going to the big city.

 I sighed. My thoughts are still on Griffin. From the voice I heard earlier he didn't seem to be in a bad condition. He was even able to speak while the sorcerer was conversing with me. Griffin was very brave to do that, but I felt scared. I hope that the sorcerer doesn't get carried away by Griffin's behavior, I'm afraid that if that happens Gloria will do something to Griffin.

 "Would you like to clean yourself up, Amelie?" Hailey asked.

 I shook my head. "If you want, you can do it first." I answered in a slightly cold tone.

 Hailey didn't say anything, she just nodded her head and then disappeared behind the bathroom door in the room. I sighed again. A day without Griffin feels very hard. I want to be with my son soon.

 Without realizing it, teardrops began to flow from the corners of my eyes. I realized when my eyesight blurred. I hastily wiped away the tears that had flowed down my cheeks and the next second Hailey was coming back out of the bathroom. I glanced at her slightly, she realizing that I wasn't feeling well and she walked over. She also sat on the side of the bed, right next to me.

 "I'm sorry, Amelie." Hailey rubbed my shoulder. "I really didn't know if this would happen."

 "I already forgive you, Hailey, you don't need to apologize all the time." I smiled gently. "Do you think Griffin over there is okay?"

 "As was said before, he is different from other children his age. Even when he was with me, he never made me feel troubled, in fact I was entertained by his funny behavior." Hailey chuckled. Her eyes looked outward. "I miss him too. Usually now he is playing with me while waiting for you to come home from the boutique."

 "You're right, and I'll rush home after work is over to be able to see and sleep with you guys."

 "Hopefully Griffin can be found as soon as possible."

 I turned to Hailey, then smiled faintly. "Let's hope Alpha Rexton does well."

 ***

 One day has passed and now night has arrived. Andrew, Hailey and Benjamin took the initiative to invite me to eat at a restaurant to cheer me up. At least so that I can feel a little calm and smile for a moment because since yesterday I kept crying about losing Griffin.

 I obeyed their wishes. The four of us walked to the restaurant on the first floor to enjoy dinner there. After waiting for a while, finally the previously empty table was now filled with quite a lot of food. Everything looked really delicious, but I had absolutely no intention of eating it. If Griffin had been with me, he would have eagerly devoured all the food and so would I. It feels like I'm being a bad mother because I'm eating delicious food while I don't know what Griffin is eating or not even eating at all.

 A few minutes later, dinner was finished. After a short conversation, I, feeling very sleepy, decided to go to my room first, but it turned out that Hailey, Andrew and Benjamin also followed me without me asking. Now that I'm in my room, tiredness and sleepiness won't let me fall asleep. I actually cried. Not wanting to disturb Hailey, who was already fast asleep, I cried silently while looking at the photo of me and Griffin that I also showed to Alpha Rexton this afternoon.

 "Hope you're okay there, Griffin." I said softly.

 Suddenly the smartphone not far from me rang. Feeling curious and not wanting to disturb Hailet who was fast asleep, I immediately took my smartphone and picked up the voice call that came into it.

 "He--hello?" I said doubtfully when I heard a voice call from Alpha Rexton.

 "Come out, I'm waiting for you inside the lobby."

 Before I could speak again, the voice call was disconnected. Looking at Hailey, her eyes were still closed and she seemed to be fast asleep. Feeling safe if I go out at this time, I decided to walk slowly out of the room. The hotel hallway was so quiet, I didn't know whether there were residents in the other rooms or not.

 Entering the elevator, I immediately pressed the second floor where the lobby is located. Waited for a while for the elevator doors to finally open. From here I can already smell the strong smell of wood and vanilla which is the characteristic smell of Alpha Rexton -- my mate. Each wolf and its mate have a different smell.

 He sat on the sofa with a black jacket and a mask and hat covering his head. My two feet walked closer, but before I could reach him, he had already left the hotel. There is a receptionist and guard on duty so I can't just call him. My two feet moved quickly following the steps of Alpha Rexton who had already stepped in front of me. The distance between me and him was about two meters until finally we were at the back of the hotel. There isn't much lighting here making the area around here dark. Alpha Rexton stopped his two feet. He turned to me and I approached until we were quite close.

 I heard Alpha Rexton exhale. "I'm sorry, Amelie. I'm sorry."

 "There's nothing to be sorry about, Alpha Rexton." I smile. "That's how it should be."

 "No." Alpha Rexton shook his head. "I should have been with you, not Matilda. You are my mate."

 I was silent for a moment, my lips smiled to hide the sadness that was actually present in my heart. "There's no need to discuss it anymore, it's in the past. I only asked you to help me save Griffin, only you can do that, Alpha Rexton. After that, I will leav

e your life again. I promise I will go as far as I can."
