Chapter 20 - Twenty : The Brokenhearted Mate -2

A good blow to the face sent Daniel flying off the bed.

" You think I'm here to babysit your ass! " Ryan roared, stung and quivering with anger. The punch he threw barely satiated the grievances in his heart.

Daniel spat out blood, then ground his teeth in fury and threw himself on Ryan, and they both tumbled to the floor.

Taking the advantage of being on top, Daniel launched a blow at Ryan but he was quick to dodge it and simply kicked Daniel off his body.

Perhaps because he hasn't being feeding recently, Daniels reflexs were slow and sluggish giving Ryan an upper hand. If it was a on a normal day, he wouldn't even dream of laying a scratch on Daniel but today was different.

"You think she would be happy seeing you this way if you had known each other?! "Ryan tried to reason with him.

"Shut up!! " Daniel thundered landing a punch that successfully hit Ryan or maybe he just let him.

"Satisfied now? " Ryan mocked, then laughed hysterically "Don't fool yourself Daniel, you're are more than this..."

Another punch interrupted Ryan, he staggered backward but stood up infuriating Daniel more.

"I didn't know you were this much of a coward, maybe you don't deserve to lead this pack..."

Another punch.

"Hehehe, keep on punching me since that's what you're good at all anyway " he mocked.

As if a dam was broken, Daniel started punching him more harder and quicker until Ryan snapped.

"You fool! you haven't even paid your last respect to her yet!"

Daniel's fist hung in the air, he was shocked to the core, as if he just sobered up.

"Judith made a list of people who died in little Town that day, a total of twelve. An aged women, two middle-aged men , five teenage boys and four girls ranging from the age of nineteen to thirty . One of the girls must surely be your mate " Ryan explained to the shell-shocked alpha.

Daniel let go of Ryan, he moved away and rested against the wall. Suddenly, a loud wail pierced the air, he vent out his frustration as tears of pain rolled down his cheeks.

"I didn't even get the chance to know her, why!why ! why does it hurt so much?! " he cried out beating his chest frustratedly

Tears touched Ryan's eyes and he blinked them away, this was the first time seeing his friend and alpha in such a vulnerable state, it was breaking his heart.

Wincing from the pain, he dragged himself towards Daniel and embraced him, patting his shoulder sympathetically.

They stayed that way for a long time , nor talking but sharing a warm tacit understanding.

An hour later, the both cleaned up leaving Judith dumbfounded. The injuries on their faces gave her a rough idea of what occured in there .The fight it seems, produced an effective result, Daniel eventually agreed to Ryan's idea of going to pay condolences.

So she mapped out an intensive location of the late victims and their profiles, concluding on who has the highest tendency of being the alpha's late mate.

The first victim was a nineteen year old blonde plumpy girl who died of a heart attack during an intensive workout.

"Not her " Daniel flipped through the pages of the document. Eventhough he couldn't exactly remember her face, he knew she wasn't blonde.

Eventually Daniel settled on two of the girls, one had died of an animal attack probably bitten by a rogue werewolf and couldn't withstand the venom, so she died while the other died a natural death.

What drew this two to him were their hair colour, they had the same colour as her's but something unexpectedly happened. Even after visiting, nor of them appeared to be his mate.

Even at death, it was impossible for a werewolf not to recognize his mate, though the bond wasn't there but the wolfs instinct was still there.

The wolf inside can still smell and recognize their other half even at death so when his wolf didn't react at all, Daniel knew nor of them were his mate which was all the more strange.

"Are you sure this is the list of everyone who died in little Town that day? " Daniel asked, his heart in a turmoil for unknown reasons.

"Yes, this is all. I made sure of it " Judith answered.

when Daniel didn't hear a change in the pattern of her heartbeat, he knew at once she wasn't telling a lie.

"Daniel, are you sure your mate was in little Town?" Ryan asked confused.

"Yes, I am sure of it Ryan. You of all people should know our instincts don't lie " He replied without a doubt.

Ryan rubbed his jaws thoughtfully " The only reason this could be happening is either your mate has died and her corpse is in the belly of an animal..... "

Daniel raised a brow at him

Ryan coughed and continued "Her corpse is probably not in little Town or a foul play is at work here or. .. "

Daniel's face lit up at once " She's alive but in transition "

Impossible.
