Eric’s perspective

This morning, we woke up to Sophia screaming something about Calvin. I was half asleep when it finally hit me what she was saying.

“What do you mean Calvin is gone?” I asked her.

“Most of his clothes are gone, and he and his truck are not here,” Sophia tells me while she is crying.

“Did you have a fight last night, Sophia? Was there anything that he was upset about?” I asked her.

“No Eric, we went to bed fine. He seemed like his normal self, he just wasn’t talking very much, but he hasn’t been since Jade accepted his rejection”, Sophia said.

“Well, it had to be something. Maybe he went to go wash his clothes. This may not be a problem at all, just a misunderstanding. I will call him and see where he is at right now”, I told Sophia as I grabbed my cell phone and hit his number. Sophia and Danica sit down on the end of the bed that Danica and I share, and Danica is comforting Sophia and looking at me. I shrugged because he didn’t say anything at all to me. The phone continues to ring and then goes to voicemail.

“He didn’t answer.” I frowned, worried now what the hell was going on. He always answers my calls as he is my Beta, and he has to be there when I need him. This may be a problem. I tell Danica I am going to check with Kyle and Jeremy about Calvin, to see if they know something and she nods sharply at me as I went to exit our room. She is still pissed off at me for my little problem of calling her Jade when I finished last night, and she knows I lied when I told her I didn’t. I may have to banish her from my pack once I replace Jade, as she will never be safe at Howling Wolf with Danica there, or Sophia either.

I knock on Kyle’s door and hear the rustling of sheets and footsteps heading for the door. Kyle answers the door naked, and I see a human in his bed as I enter.

“I need to speak to you outside for a minute, get dressed,” I told Kyle as I walked right back out of the room. I don’t blame him as we tend to attract attention wherever we go, and it is Spring Break.

“Hey, what’s up man, I wanted another shot at her before I let her go?” Kyle tells me after he shuts the door to his room.

“Do you know where Calvin is? He is not in the room with Sophia, he took a lot of his clothes with him, and his truck is gone”, I tell him.

“No, I found that little hottie and took her to my room. I haven’t spoken to anyone last night or this morning. Let’s go ask Jeremy, he may know”, Kyle says as he steps down to Jeremy’s door and knocks on it.

“What the hell,” a naked Jeremy says as he answers the door. “I have a guest, don’t wake her. We were up late last night. What is the problem?” Jeremy asked.

“Calvin is missing, he isn’t answering his phone, and no one knows where he is. We were just checking with everyone in our group before I called his parents to see if they had an emergency that might have called him back home”, I say to Jeremy.

He might be washing his clothes, you know what a neat freak he is about his stuff, he may be at the local laundry. Try texting him and see what he says”, Jeremy tells us as he closes his door and locks it.

“I guess he isn’t going to help us look for him then,” I tell Kyle as I pick up my phone and text Calvin.

“Do you think he might have heard us? You know the plans we had for Jade. Do you think he heard us talking on the boat yesterday?” Kyle asks me.

“s**t, go grab your shoes and I will go tell the girls that we will be right back. We can grab some food while we are out to cover for our time. Let’s go by Jade’s house and see if his truck is there. If it is, then all of our plans to get Jade are ruined”, I tell Kyle.

I enter my room and try to keep calm as I tell them that no one had heard from Calvin, but that he may be washing his clothes and that I am going to text him and then check a few local laundry mats to see if we can replace him. I also say that Kyle and I will be grabbing lunch for everyone on the way back as it is 11 am and it will be noon by the time we get back. We head out to my SUV and head straight to Jade’s rental house. There was a large white van with a commercial cleaning emblem on the side of it in the driveway with 4 people moving around in the house with the door open.

I entered the house looking around with Jade and all her friends not around, so I stopped one of the men there cleaning.

“Do you know where the people that were here are right now? Did they leave? I am friends with them, and we had something scheduled for lunch, but I didn’t see any of their vehicles in the driveway. Do you know where they went?’ I asked him.

“No, I do not know where they went, only that they had an emergency come up and they all had to leave three days early. We were told to go ahead and clean the unit for the upcoming guests today. I have no idea where the previous guests went to, I am sorry” he said, before turning to resume cleaning.

“Thank you” I mumbled as I walked away from him.

“This isn’t good. They take off for an emergency and Calvin is missing. I don’t think that this is a coincidence at all. I think Jade got freaked out by me trying to take her last night, and they all bolted back for their pack. I need to call that Ashley girl up and tell her to let me know if Jade is back at Stone Moon. This really messes my plans up. I won’t be able to get Danica or Sophia to go in to get Jade anymore. They would kill her for sure in their jealousy. I will just keep in contact with Ashley and get this set up, she will just have to be the one on the inside for us, instead of sending the girls in. I need to get something for Ashley that will knock Jade out so she can’t fight her, so Ashley can put her in her trunk and then meet us in town after dark, so no one sees us getting her from the trunk. I don’t like this at all, but maybe you can work your magic on her, and get him willing to do that for us.” I told Kyle.

“She liked us both, we may have to work together on this to get Jade from Stone Moon,” Kyle tells me.

My phone pings with a text from Calvin. “I saw your missed call and text. I am OK, I just got another job offer from another pack to be their Gamma from someone I met from another pack. I will not be returning to Howling Wolf with you. We are not going in the same direction anymore and being forced to reject my mate has taken a large toll on me. I am not the same person that I was before I rejected Jade. I didn’t want to stay with Sophia, but she threatened to harm Jade, so I stayed with her just to keep Jade safe. I don’t care what you tell Sophia, as I hope I never have the displeasure of seeing her again. She has an ugly heart, as she is a malicious and mean person. I haven’t wanted to be with her for the last year, but she refused to break it off. Tell him we are done. We aren’t mates. She broke off with her mate because she wanted to be at a higher rate and not the warrior she was mated to. She refused to let me go and be with my mate. Don’t look for me. I will NOT be coming back to Howling Wolf. I reject the Howling Wolf pack and no longer have any and all ties to you. Don’t bother messaging me again. I already knew you didn’t want me in your pack anymore. You were going to cut me loose, remember? I am blocking your number from this time on. I have also notified my father, your dad’s current Beta, so he can advise your dad that you will be needing a new Beta. I think Kyle could fit in there for you, as my replacement. That is all, I am in my new pack. They will be having my ceremony shortly. I will never be coming back to your pack”.

I finished reading the text and I am pissed. He did hear our plans and knew what we were going to do. He probably warned Jade too, so they left. It is going to be hard as hell to get her now. I will have to talk to my father and see if he will support me in attacking Stone Moon if Ashley can’t get Jade out of there. He would want a white wolf to be my Luna. I am sure he will support it; I will speak to him when we get back home.
