The Unknown Lycan Princess - Chapter 137: Chapter 137

Beth’s POV
I open my eyes and I turn to look at the clock and I am shocked at how long the pups have let us sleep. It is almost morning. ‘Beth something doesn’t feel right. You need to get up and check our pups. Harmony said to me.
I jerk up into a sitting position and start to crawl over one of my mates to get out of bed to check on my pups. If Harmony is feeling uneasy there is a reason. I finally get out of bed hearing both of my mates complain and they ask together, What’s wrong?”
I tell them what Harmony said and they are both getting out of bed rushing behind me. “I’ll check the triplets. One of you check Timberlink.” I say as I rush into the nursery. I look at the cribs and let out a sigh of relief when I see all three of my pups in their cribs. ‘The triplets are good!’ I say in our mindlink.
‘Baby, Timberlink isn’t here and no one has seen him,’ Ethan replies back to me.
I rush out of the nursery and go to Timberlink’s room and I check everywhere he could be hiding. I know with my senses that he isn’t here and hasn’t been for quite a while. I couldn’t help but still look. I didn’t know what else to do for that moment in my panic. It wasn’t until Alexi grabbed me by my waist as I was about to make my third look under his bed that I was able to process. Before I knew it I was breaking down crying for my missing pup.
“Shh Darling. We will find him. I promise that Ethan and I will do everything in our power to bring our pup home safe. We need to get everyone together so we can start the search.” Alexi said as I was wrapped in his arms crying into his chest.
I nodded my head and pulled away from him. I wiped my eyes and I looked back towards his bed. I started towards the bed planning to fix the mess that I had made of it in my ridiculous search and said, “You two get dressed and start getting people ready to search. I will get dressed in a minute after I fix this.”
I saw out of the corner of my eye that Ethan and Alexi were looking at eachother then back at me with concern. “Go guys. I promise, I will be fine and right behind you.” I said again. They reluctantly agreed.
Once they were gone I started to tidy up Timberlink’s bed with tears trailing down my face. The only thing running through my mind is that I failed him again. As I was placing all his bedding back I noticed that there was a toy in his bed. That is unusual for him. He is meticulous with his room and putting everything back when he is done with it. I shrug as I sit it off to the side as I finish up. Once I was satisfied I grabbed his toy and walked over to the shelf it belonged to and was about to place it there when I noticed that there was a dirty shirt in its place.
I chuckled thinking that he just threw the shirt when he took it off and didn’t think about it afterwards. I grabbed the shirt and pulled it off the shelf and placed the toy back. I turn to head towards Timberlink’s hamper. I am checking to see if there are any pockets on his shirt on the way to make sure it was empty if there were any. I didn’t find any pockets but I did find a folded piece of paper. “Mommy” was written on it. I put the shirt in the crook of my arm and unfolded the paper.
I gasped when I saw that it was a short letter he wrote to me. It says…
Mommy,
I know you and daddies told me to never go anywhere without an adult, but I was given an important job. I’ll be safe. Fate said I would have a guardian to protect me. I’ll be back soon.
Love
Timberlink
I drop the shirt and rush out of the bedroom and right into my own screaming for my mates. “Ethan! Alexi! He left a note!” Both of my mates rush to me and grab the paper from my wildly shaking hand. They both read it and they look furious. ” What the hell kind of important job did she think a young pup such as himself would be able to do without getting himself hurt or killed.” Ethan said.
“I don’t know, but I am about to find out right now.” I said. Then I closed my eyes and said eerily calmly, “Ares you better get your ass here right now and explain what is going on with my pup!”
“I am not Ares, but I think I am capable of helping you out.” A deep voice said from behind me. When I turned around I was shocked to see Zeus standing there. “Which pup are you referring to?”
“Who the hell are you?” Ethan growled out and stood between Zeus and I.
Zeus just laughed and said, “I would watch your tone boy. I am Zeus and I could fry your ass with a bolt of lightning for talking to me the way you just did. The ONLY reason I am allowing it is because you are Beth’s mate and she is family which makes you family. Don’t think I won’t find a way to punish a member of my family because I will. I have no problems with that. Now, Beth, which pup do you want help with?”
Ethan looked at me with wide eyes and I just shrugged my shoulders. What was there to say? He’s a god. Not just any god either. He is Zeus, King of the gods. Not many people left above that I would imagine. “Timberlink. He left me this note saying that Fate sent him on a task and to not worry. Well that just tells me to worry more. What did she make my son do!? “I couldn’t help the bit of a snarl in my last sentence, but my pup is missing and my instincts are telling me to kill first and ask questions later. I know I can’t do that so I am trying to rein it all in. Plus I didn’t want Zeus to zap me with a lightning bolt either.
Zeus gave me a look warning me about my disrespect. I shrugged a bit and said “sorry.”
He waited a minute and then nodded his head and said, “Timberlink is on his first mission as a guardian. He is being looked after. Well he will be once he is done fighting with his guardian. All is as it should be for now. Don’t worry too much. He will be back in your arms before the end of the day tomorrow. I will warn you that you should be getting your armies gathered. There is war on the horizon.” Zeus said and then disappeared.
“I hate when they do that shit.” Alexi said, frustratedly.
“He didn’t even give me a chance to ask questions.” I said.
“He did tell us some valuable information though.” Ethan said.
“What are you talking about? He said a whole lot without saying anything at all?” I said.
“Ethan’s right. He did tell us that Timberlink would be in our arms by the end of the day tomorrow.” Alexi said. “Also he said that we needed to gather our armies. I believe that was a subtle warning that we will be going to war to get Timberlink back. I think we should heed his warning and gather as many fighters as we can. We will send out our best trackers to look for Timberlink. I want to send some scouts out as well to all areas surrounding us. See if there is a group of warriors coming our way to give us some type of warning and headcount. Beth, you need more training as well. ” Ethan said.
Alexi and I just looked at Ethan for a minute stunned. Ethan is always a step ahead, but he seems to be on the ball with this. Everything he said was an excellent idea. “I agree.” Alexi and I said.
“Good. Let’s go wake the others and tell them what is going on. I still need to get Dad’s approval to start the preparations.” Ethan said.
We all finished getting ready for the day and headed out to get the pups fed, changed, and dressed. Once we were all done we each grabbed a pup and left our suite. We met everyone down in the dining hall. It was still relatively empty because of the early hour. Soon it will be filling up with everyone.
We sat at the table while we waited for everyone to arrive. Once they were all at the table Ethan cleared his throat and said, “Thank you for being here this early. Timberlink is missing and we were given a warning by Zeus.”
There were gasps heard around the table from the women and the men were growling and snarling at the mention of Timberlink being missing. Arthur is the first to respond and says, “What was the warning son?”
“We need to prepare for tomorrow.” Ethan said ominously.
“For what?” Roman asked.
