Chapter 89: Crazy bastard
"Tobi," Rose called in a low voice. She wanted to give up, but they had already been searching for a long time in this dark, eerie place. Something felt off, and she couldn’t shake the unease creeping up her spine. Tobi couldn’t be left alone here any longer—she needed to find him, fast.
"Calm down," Rolan said, jumping down from the tree where he had been standing.
Rose frowned. "Calm down, Rolan? Can you hear yourself? Any moment of hesitation could take my son away from me, and you want me to relax?"
"Calm down," Rolan repeated, taking a step closer to her.
Annoyed, Rose scowled, then turned away, continuing her search. The road stretched far into the distance, barely distinguishable from the overgrown terrain. A narrow path, with patches of arid soil and wild bushes, made it look less like a road and more like a forgotten trail.
"Where are you going, Rose?"
Rolan’s voice carried as he moved with inhuman speed, reaching for her wrist. His grip was firm, yet not forceful.
"To look for my son." Rose turned, glaring at him, trying to pull her wrist free. She was too restless, too on edge. Tobi had been missing for over an hour—too long. She couldn’t waste another second.
"You need to calm down and not rush blindly into this place." Does she want to get herself eaten? Rolan thought. Even if she’s a wolf, she’s just an Omega. He kept his concerns to himself but tightened his grip slightly.
Rose’s breath hitched. "Are you trying to keep me captive, Rolan?" Her eyes burned like fierce flames from the abyss.
"No. I won’t let you go because it’s dangerous."
