The Delta's Daughter Chapter 123

Somehow, I managed to sleep. Not even realizing I had drifted off until I was awoken by the loud banging on the other side of our hotel door.

“Tell him to fuck off,” Tobias grumbled from the bed beside me. I gave him a quick glance, as I hopped up from my still sitting position to open the door for a very annoying Hunji.

I knew it was him just as Tobias did, his scent had hit me as soon as I opened my eyes.

“Coffee,” Hunji said one word and thrust a drinks holder into my hand. “And you need a shower, you smell like a rogue.” He peered at me, scrunching his nose in disgust.

“Well, good morning to you too, sunshine.” Tobias yawned and stretched his limbs out, waking up. He stood from the bed naked as the day he was born.

“Go put some clothes on Tobias, no want's that little thing waving in their face.” Hunji deadpanned, indicating that Tobias’ dick was less than average.

“Excuse me! There is nothing small about my manhood, I’ll have you know!” Tobias feigned hurt but grabbed his dick in his hand and started flopping it side to side. “See, nice and big and not even at full attention.” He smirked.

“For fuck's sake man, put it away,” I grumbled, trying to find the humor in the banter but failing miserably. I could already tell the three of us traveling together could go one of two ways between Hunji and Tobias.

Either they kill each other (my money was on Hunji), or they become the best of friends.

I went to take a shower as Hunji suggested and when I walked out freshly washed and in clean clothes, Tobias and Hunji were standing over the small table in our room studying the map I had been going over for the past week.

I walked up behind them and pointed to the red circles I had made on the map, “Here, here, and here are where we have searched. These lines here indicate where trackers and warriors have been sent out to search for him or any clues.”

“Mike,” Hunji said with a somber tone. “Don’t let regret and the feeling of defeat determine your path.” He placed his hand on my shoulder, lightly squeezing it while turning to face me, those emotionless dark eyes peering right into my soul. “You will find yourself wanting and lacking. Look forward, young Wolf. Hope is a path that leads us to clarity.”

I should be used to Hunji’s cryptic phrases of inspiration by now. He was right, I knew he was right. Duke, my wolf, knew he was right and hummed in agreement with Hunji’s words of wisdom. I also knew he could feel my emotions rolling off of me, which is why he tried to offer me words of comfort.

“This is where he disappeared from. These are the areas we have checked, and also any operational business cameras.” I carried on after clearing my throat and swallowing down my emotions. “We came up empty-handed. I wanted to move eastwards, towards the coast. My wolf seems to think we should head that way too.”

I had been grasping at straws this whole time, but my gut was pushing me this way. Every time I cast my eyes across the map, my eyes found their way to the same place. The Cheregwen Pack. A Pack located on the coast with a shipping and receiving port. It was actually a place I had visited before with Kellen, the Alpha of that pack who ran an export business the Royal family-owned.

“Trust your wolf, his instincts will give you your gut feelings, so if you both feel drawn to a place, we should go there. Chances are there’s something there. Let’s get a move on.” Hunji stood up, looking between Tobias and me.

“I’m going to” Tobias looked at us in surprise.

“Yes, you are under your king's orders to assist us, are you not” Hunji scowled at him.

“Well yah but…”

“Tobias, if you don’t want to go, then don’t.” I was irritable at his attitude and clenched my fists tightly, trying not to let my wolf come to the surface as the irritation turned to a slowly simmering anger.

“It’s not that, Mike, I just didn’t think you guys wanted my help or wanted me there. I mean you wolves are pretty tight-knit, ya know” Tobias palmed the back of his neck sheepishly, obviously embarrassed by his confession.

I dropped my shoulders, my fists unclenching and becoming loose, my features softening. I had automatically assumed he wanted nothing to do with finding Kellen or the Wolf Kingdom. I didn’t even cross my mind that maybe he felt unwanted, or would feel left out.

Now I knew he wanted to be a part of this and wasn’t just here because of King, I felt even more of an ass for being so angry at him.

“Yeah, we want you with us dude,” I told him, clapping his shoulders for reassurance. I had no idea he had felt this insecure.

Tobias was a handful but he was smart and if we got into a fight, his brute strength would come in handy. Plus, his tracking skills were almost on par with Hunji’s.

All three of us held a second-in-command position. There was no reason we couldn’t find something to trace Kellen if we combined our strengths and skills.

“Then I suggest we get a move on.” Hunji declared, rising from the chair again “We will take my car, my bag’s already in there, get your shit together and let’s go.”

With that, we shoved our shit into our bags, piled into the car, and headed east, coastal bound. I was feeling a little more relaxed and instead of feeling like I was being babysat, I was grateful Lamia had sent Hunji and I was hopeful that the three of us could figure out what happened to Kellen.
