<h4>Chapter 514: 514-Fed On My Mate</h4>


    <strong>Joshua:</strong>


    "I am taking my warriors and leaving to meet Yorick," I told my father, getting up anxiously.


    "You cannot approach them like that. They will see it as a threat," my father warned.


    "I am not going to attack him and his family. I will just act like I am visiting him to apologize for what Oriana did to him," I replied, and my father rolled his eyes.


    There was another factor.


    Oriana’s video had gone viral of her plotting against Yorick.


    I knew it ruined her reputation.


    I could not care less about her reputation.


    I was worried about Suki’s reputation.


    But I convinced my father that it would be fine.


    We couldter say that she was under the influence of a monster or whatever we needed to say.


    I just needed to go and look for her.


    "Fine, I will send my men with you. You do not need to do anything on your own. Make sure you stay away from your friend’s father and mother. They are creepy people," my father muttered, not looking very happy that I kept talking about going there.


    Then my father prepared his best warriors to make it seem like I was going there to visit Yorick.


    The minute I reached his pack, I was immediately asked to stop.


    That was one of the many things I noticed that made me raise my eyebrow.


    They told me that I could go alone.


    However, I noticed that the warriors looked extremely anxious.


    I was not going to start a war right away.


    I only nned to look around and take a nce. And for all Yorick knew, I hated Oriana too.


    He would not think I was there to look for her.


    So I walked forward alone.


    The warrior told me there would be a car to pick me up, but there was no car.


    There was a strangemotion happening in the pack.


    I noticed many pack members screaming and shutting their doors, while some were running toward the main mansion.


    So I followed them.


    I was worried about Suki because she was there too.


    I ran toward the mansion, and just as I reached it, I saw many warriors running out, screaming and pointing back at it.


    "Do not go in there. There is a monster inside," one of the warriors screamed, and my eyes widened.


    I remembered that my father had not wanted me toe here.


    He told me not toe here and start any fights.


    He only allowed me toe if I promised to speak with Yorick without entering his mansion, and I did promise him.


    But things had changed.


    The mansion seemed to be under attack by some kind of monster, and I was worried about Suki.


    That is probably why she had not been able to return any of my calls.


    I began to push forward against the warriors rushing out.


    At the entrance, I saw a bloodbath.


    As if that was not enough, strange wails and the sound of something thrashing came from upstairs, so I hurried toward the noise.


    I sprinted forward even as the warriors told me not to go in that direction.


    I kept going.


    When I stepped onto the second floor, I realized that this was where all the chaos had started.


    Blood stters covered the walls and stretched up toward the ceiling.


    There were stains across the ceiling as well.


    It would be a lie to say that I did not believe there was a monster here.


    A loud growl came from one of the rooms, and I rushed in that direction.


    I had only made it halfway when I saw Yorick being thrown out of the room, and my steps came to a halt.


    He got to his feet, covered in blood.


    When his eyes moved to me, I watched horror consume his face.


    "Joshua, what are you doing here?" he yelled, raising his hand toward me to stop me from going any farther.


    "Where is she? Where is Suki?" I shouted, my heart beating faster as I looked around.


    "Suki? What? Have you lost your—" Yorick started toin, but then he stopped, and his eyes widened.


    I saw the color drain from his face.


    That reaction came from somewhere deep.


    He might have thought I had lost my mind.


    Why did he look so shocked, as if he knew something?


    "You mean Oriana was telling the truth?" he whispered to himself, lowering his gaze.


    "But how is that possible?" he muttered, lookingpletely lost.


    "What do you mean she was telling the truth? Where is she now?" I demanded, stepping toward him and grabbing his cor, shaking him to force him to tell me where Suki was.


    "You need to go," Yorick uttered, gulping hard.


    "No, I am not leaving until I find my... my Suki. Where is she?" I asked again, shaking him.


    A strange guttural sound came from the bedroom he had been thrown out of.


    I turned my head and saw a human figure standing there, old and monstrous, something out of a nightmare.


    I had seen many monsters in the North, but seeing one among humans on the maind felt different.


    It carried danger.


    "What the hell is that?" I whispered under my breath, swallowing hard.


    My hand began to shake as I kept my eyes on it.


    "That is the thing that ate Oriana."


    Yorick’s words made me snap my head toward him and then back to the creature.


    "Now you know the truth, so you need to go," Yorick insisted, shaking me as if, after telling me that my mate had been killed by a monster, I would quietly leave to save myself.


    "What do you mean she was eaten?" I asked, my jaw clenching.


    My head started to go numb after everything I did to bring Suki back to life, some monster hiding on the maind had taken her from me.


    "I am sorry, but—" Yorick had not finished speaking when I shoved him back and rushed into the room.


    There were only two oues today. Either I would kill that monster, or it would kill me.
