Home Calling

Sebastian POV

“Look who’s here, Sebastian. To what do I owe this visit?”

Carol spat the words with a wink, a taunting smile curling on her lips. She was dressed up far too nicely, clearly expecting me, or hoping I’d give her a reason to expect something from me.

“What happened, Carol?”

I asked sharply, knowing the little devil well enough to recognize when she’d pushed her games too far. She giggled softly, her hands gliding over my chest like a serpent, and for a split second, I swore her touch seeped straight into my bloodstream.

Pleasure has been a constant ache in my mind these past months, gnawing at me without relief. And no amount of meaningless sex has come close to matching that night in my clubhouse. With her.

The girl who wrecked me without even realizing it, who left her scent in my bones and my sanity in pieces. I’ve searched endlessly, but I can’t even catch a trace of her.

Lucy Ahn said I need to see that little human again if I want to tame the madness clawing inside me. I am insatiable, starving for the sweet, forbidden softness of her milky body. But she’s vanished, hidden herself so well that even I can’t sniff her out.

“Let me help you out, my Alpha,”

Carol’s voice dragged me back to the present. As tempting as her offer might be to lesser men, the thought of being anywhere near her disgusts me.

“Tell me, Carol. What happened to my mother?”

Her smile dropped instantly. She frowned, sitting down stiffly, all traces of playfulness gone. The seriousness in her eyes told me that wasting even a second with her would be dangerous.

“Your father’s wolfsbane strain has worsened, and your mother was kidnapped by the Light Pack. And your brother Sylvester King is too busy with his countless girls to care.”

She explained, stepping closer on her knees, desperation trembling through her voice.

“Please save the Luna, your mother, Alpha.”

Her eyes held secrets, ones I would leave to unravel another day.

“Light Pack dared put their filthy hands on my mother?”

My vision burned red. My wolf surged forward, snarling through my chest. Carol flinched as she witnessed the beast clawing beneath my skin.

“My Alpha,”

Nuel called from behind. I turned to him. His face was pale, shadowed, barely keeping steadiness.

“Speak, Nuel. What happened?”

I thundered. I could hear his heartbeat pounding violently, one of my gifts that never lies.

“Klein returned to Arkansas after you stripped him of his title. He’s threatening to destroy Moon Pack.”

A dark laugh slipped past my lips. So pathetic. Moon Pack has always been the victim, targeted by other packs and wolf hunters who assume they’re weak since I left decades ago. And after the battles that damaged my father, I had no choice but to remove his Alpha title.

But it’s time they remember who rules everything. My people deserve the highest honor, and I will bring it back for them with blood if I must.

“Prepare the private jet. We leave today.”

I ordered. Nuel nodded immediately.

“I will come with you, my Alpha. The Luna has always treated me like her own.”

Carol murmured, but I ignored her completely and walked out.

“Tell George to continue searching for the girl.”

I said as I stepped out. The entire building felt too small, too suffocating to restrain the wildfire thundering inside me.

Nuel followed close behind, already making the call. When he ended it, he jogged to catch up.

“I fear the girl left the country already my Alpha,”

He said carefully. I waved him off, pretending his words didn’t slice through me. But inside, something cracked, my sanity slipping lower. The thought of living like this forever, restless and cursed, made all my vein burn.

“I can’t be wanting a girl forever, Nuel,”

I breathed harshly. My wolf’s rage pulsed violently, threatening to tear the entire state apart if I lost even an inch of control.

“I will find her. I have to.”

But first, Moon Pack.

I would set everything right and reclaim what’s mine. Then I would hunt down that sweet poison, the girl who both curses me and cures me.

“The private jet will be ready in an hour. Do you want to do anything before then?”

Nuel asked, avoiding my gaze.

“Perhaps we could have fun with Klein’s dogs,”

I said, stepping into the car. Nuel entered and drove us down the hill toward the crazy man’s house.

Klein Stone, the Beta foolish enough to believe he could challenge me. He’s shown his rebellious nature too many times. I’ve crushed him again and again, yet he always crawls back with that pathetic urge to ruin me. Maybe I should end everything before leaving L.A.

Sniffing out his so called forces was easy. But when I stepped into the house, the usual foul scent was faint, they were gone.

“They’re not here, Alpha,”

Nuel announced as he searched the rooms. He froze suddenly, then held up a phone toward me.

The caller ID flashed Klein

“Pick up,”

I ordered.

Nuel answered, and that irritating voice vibrated through the speaker.

“Guess where I am, Sebastian. Arkansas. With your loved ones.”

His laughter echoed before Nuel ended the call.

Too many reasons to go home.

Too many things to destroy.

Too many things to set right.

…

“This is her friend, my Alpha. She brought her to me that very day,”

George said. My patience thinned to an air . Every second without her twisted my insides. I craved the girl who held my cure, who ruined me and didn’t even realize it.

“So speak up. Where is she, that I couldn’t even sniff her out?”

I demanded. The girl he brought sneered, rolling her eyes.

“Clair has been my friend since we were kids, but she’s a slut. And she had ran off with her lover.”

She said bluntly. Not the answer I wanted. Her tone was venom, and every word grated against my already tormented mind.

“Get her out of my sight. And find the girl at all costs, George.”

I muttered before stepping into the jet.

Even amidst the chaos, I still craved her, for her cold feet curling around me that night, for the way her soft pleas trembled as she took all of me.

She haunts me. Controls me.

And I will have her again. Soon.
